General cinquecento trofeo project

[medion6969]

but ohh yeah i forgot mine is just an average build lololol
ive seen less work been put into some of the 16v conversions on this forum mate
lol

So the crank has been ID as a forged/billet after market crank? Who made it as i'm interested in upgrading from my knife edged crank.

Struggling to find anyone who will make one for less than £1000 .

I could get an alloy one machined for £850 but I have been advised against it because they aren't very durable. Alloy cranks are deemed as expendable, I don't personally think That amount of money is expendable .

Thanks

I'm also intrested in this race crank. Details please. Got a steel flywheel and forged rods, just missing the middle bit

It is a fairly average build tbh. Until we see some print outs of the rr run and some flow results of the head.
I recon 75-80hp at the crank

I'm not getting into this.

BUT as a point of FACT, the 899 Trofeos had MPI -- didn't the 1108s?

 

[ycming]

You got any pictures of your redrilled standard flywheel to match this race crank?

What makes the parts a Race parts? just that they have been lighted or what?

Usually: lighter, stronger & more expensive...

has the top hat made much difference?

 

[Brooky]

Pictures of the rolling road print out would be more interesting. Has it been on yet??

 

[Brooky]

btw before i get attacked regarding my 16v comment i know 16v is miles better and i have fitted one no probs but...
a 16v lump will look stupid in my authentic trofeo ,hence ive to stick to lovely 8v lol

Why you selling the 8v bits??

 

[medion6969]

cos my 2nd modded 8v engine has developed piston slap so before it destroys the rest of the engine I decided to strip it.
I got offered a complete 1.2 16v setup so ive bit the bullet so too speak and went for it.
I thought about a 3rd 8v unit but tbh ive had enough of them.lets hope the 16v engine is more up for the task lol

 

[medion6969]

bit annoyed to leave the 8v side of things really cos this project was all about being an exact copy of the original trofeo but hey ive had enough lol

 

[medion6969]

right here is the latest on the trofeo project.
it now has a 1242 16v punto engine
1.6 brava throttle body
weber pico 190cc injectors
custom made john Ashley 421 stainless steel exhaust manifold(no fouling issues with radiator)
stainless decat pipe with full stainless janspeed system
carbon bmc closed induction system

 

[medion6969]

ok im waiting for the barrage of(thought u said u would never go 16v???)
I only did this because engine no3 was slightly noisey and this complete conversion came along.
but I must eat humble pie cos this thing is friggen rapid.i estimate at least 95bhp with the mods ive fitted,
95bhp/647kg = lots of grins lol

 

[blu73]

lol, you sir may eat your hat.. etc etc.

 

[medion6969]

lol I know I know ...bows head .....

 

[fingers99]

Looks nice. Breather is probably going to be an MOT fail (should be -- consider a catch tank). Are you really running Michelin?

 

[blu73]

will also make your nice shiny engine not shiny anymore..

 

[medion6969]

Yeah ive got a catch tank but havnt fitted it yet.and no im not using michelens.the decals are and exact copy of the original monte carlo trofeo rally car
