hi guys,not been on since i posted pics up of ma car..
The thing i was wondering cus me and ma mate shaun off ere are wondering weather the engine in ma bravo is the 156 out of the marea.i bought the car off sisters fella and the guy he bought it off,did the full conversion,engine,loom,lights,handles,rear disc conv,steering wheel and also the 160 clocks.
So,decided to get googlin lastnight and came across the site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Marea#Engines,also came across this site
http://www.fts.it/catalog/c1/806/c2/819/c3/947/bc/Engine_Cooling_Radiator_Fiat_Marea
which states the 2 litres marea's are 150..
and also on the wilkpedia site it states i can remap my ecu..((well it actually states it had to be remapped down due to brazillian laws)) so i gathered it can be remapped

ive looked under the bonnet on the vin panel an googled it an it still has the 1.4 sx vin plate..which is bit mad cus if i did the transplant id put the car that it came out of on insted of the 1.4 etc

So,my question is,how or were do i look for the engine number so i can google it and actually find my engine and then i can go from there..
at the mo im thinkin my car has gained 7-10bhp( 4give me if im wrong as its just a guess lol) on a cat back stainless 3" scorpion wiv twin bakbox tailpipe and the K+N cone.it went bak 2 Kwikk Fit (thank god i had a 2 year guarantee lol) to have a new front pipe as it were blowin(which was only 12 month old) so got bout 8 months left,and the lamda censor is 12 month old (warranty just ran out),it runs sweet as a nut,ticks over mintly an pulls as it shud.i got 135 on my own on mway last week (130 wiv gf an her boy in car) an i manged to just get passed 6k revs..was hopin for more speed an to reach 7k revs,but im happy with that at the mo...
sorry to rant on,just puttin a few words down :D

spk soon,
Mikey

If your car has a 2.0 ltr engine conversion then it will be

A, Mk 1 - 2.0 5cylinder 147bhp engine
(recognisable by the alloy engine top that says Fiat 20v on it)

B, Mk 2 - 2.0 5cylinder 155bhp Vis engine
(recognisable by the plastic engine cover which says vis on it)

If it is the vis engine then it can be remapped.

Ignore the brazillian Marea. they did a 180bhp Turbo detuned from 220bhp.

Top end (speed) power is difficult to get. to get another 10mph you would need around 170bhp.

yeah thats what had me thinkin,its either the 147 version or the 155..i think it is just the 147 as it is just an ally top..BUT we found sumwere wen we were googlin that all marea engines are 150 or 155 :confused:

If u look at that 2nd link site,for the 2l 20v marea its got down 150:confused:
ive done alot of googlin for the marea engines an all i can find is that its a 150 and that there was a 159 version after 2000 reg
