Hi,
My wife owns an N reg Cinquecento sporting, now she bought it as a daily hack, but since then has decided she wants my luxury liner (company car) to kart our little boy around in. This has now left me with the Cinquecento as my daily driver.
I got to admit I was surprised, its very nippy in standard form, but having seen all this talk on engine swap for a 1.2 I thought, mmmmhhh I want a bit of that. I have basic mechanical skills and could happy manage an engine swap.
So Im here for advice, I have read an article on here about what engines will fit, but im still confused as to which is the most straight forward and is a basic bolt for bolt swap, i.e. no need to swap ECU, loom etc etc.
Can some one tell me plan english what engine number Punto engine I need so I can start my Ebay searching.
Also how much power can be squeezed out of the Punto 1.2 60 engine ?
Thanks from a newbie.
