Tuning Fiat Bravo 1,2 16v Trofeo

[savasp30]

Hello to everyone I have a bravo 1,2 and I want to know what options I have for engine swap. Thanks.

Hey Savasp30 Welcome to the forum!

There are a lot of good options.

Alfa V6 (from GTV would be easiest)
2.4 5 cylinder Stilo
anything from the Fiat coupe so 2.0 turbo 5 cylinder and 4 cylinder versions.

100hp 1.4 from stilo/panda

The 1.8 from the barchetta and Punto HGT has a bit more power than the Bravo 1.8.

The Stilo also uses the same 1.8 but I don't personaly know just how different it is from all the others. I know the aluminium engine mount that's on the crank side of the block is a different version, you would need to take the cambelt off to swap it. The stilos ive seen have an interesting heat exchanger between the oil and coolant.

Probably loads more options.

It'll certainly fit -- Kyriakos Xatzis got one into a Cinquecento -- videos on you tube.

I recently added vented disks from a AR146, now the car stops without heating problems.

Really Nice! I don't think I have ever seen that Blue in England but I know it was available in other countries.

Personally I would go for a more modern engine that shares the 1242cc design. You going to be able to use parts from the modern Abarth versions of cars. You car already being a 1242 will mean you have a lot of parts you already need.

Here is one of the best cars on the form, have a look for research;

This is my favourite Turbo Bravo from because its done almost exactly how I would like to do it.

Obviously starting off with a 1.2 your goanna need a lot of little things compared to starting with a HGT or even a 1.8.
