Hello!
I've got Fiat Punto mk1 1.1 55hp (1997). This car is fun to drive. But as usual, it wants more power. I've got an idea that I would swap the current engine with 1.6l 88hp from Fiat Punto mk1 as well. I would swap the whole engine with a gearbox and ECU. My questions are:
1)Is the engine straight bolt in? Or do the engine mounts need some fabricating?
2)Apart from engine mounts, attaching the gearbox (I believe that the differential is a part of the gearbox (correct me if I'm wrong please)) to the half shaft is the same? Or would need some fabricating as well? Or would be easier to swap the whole front? (axles, wheel hub, ...) - if they are different.
3)Would be there any issue with doing the electric side of the swap?
4)What else would I need to change? Fuel pump? Battery? ...
If there is a problem that I forgot to ask or don't know about, I would be grateful if anyone fills in some info.
Thank you so much for any piece of information.
Best regards,
Tom
