Tuning Engine swap

Can a 1.8 HGT engine fit into panda 100hp ?

 

[Matt100HP]

I've never heard of anyone doing it (that's not to say it cannot be done). It's probably easier to fit an Abarth 500 engine though, as the 500 and the Panda are closely related underneath their different bodies.

Is the turbo visible from the engine bay on the 1.4 multijet ?

 

[Matt100HP]

No idea, check Google for under-bonnet pictures of an Abarth 500.

Yeah its right at the front of the engine and given that the HGT motor is a five cylinder it certainly won't fit in the panda.

1.8 is a FOUR

What about the 1.4 turbo from punto Gt

Yep..was thinking of the bravo not the punto..

It will be something like this.

Engine casting is basicly the same (FIRE), so it should not be really impossible...

That's a seriously bad arsed idea.

There is only one way to make the 100hp faster practically and that's a T-Jet transplant but even that isn't quite as simple as it seems.

When you swap a engine like that, i would swap it into a new Panda 319.
It would be much easier to put a turbo or Rotrex on the engine you have then swap engines.
