Off Topic Grib the Frenchy, Seicento 16V for track

[Gribouilly]

Hello all,

I'm french, I have made a presentation in 2006 but since I have changed a lot

I became with Fiat car with a Bravo TD75 for daily car.
After, I bought a Fiat COupé 16 V TURBO (Yellow) with around 235 hp.
I have bought in 2006 a 20 V TURBO (blue) with the turbo HS to do an upgrade to a GT28RS from GARRETT with big exhaust.
In same time, I used a Cinquecento Sporting for daily after sold my Bravo.
After 1 year, I have bought a new one, coming from a farmer building canceled during 7 years !!! The objectif was a restore to do a future track car ...
But the life could decide for you, and I had no choice to sell it.

The Yellow sold, the Blue restore with around 300 hp, Cinquecento's replaced by a Punto II Sporting JTD (mk2) sold after a year of daily using (Yes I changed often) , in 2009, I have bought a Seicento Abarth for daily.

After a smal restore (fuel tank, wheels, brakes, front arms, interior by a leather seats, ...) , I have found a Punto 16V with external damaged but only 134.000 kms (not miles lol )
I kept the engin to put on my Seicento, always for daily ...
But one track day, a second, ... Hum, I need to change that.
I changed the absorbers, sold the leather to fitt 2 fixed racing seat Sparco, a new steering wheel, and slick tyres to go faster on track. :worship:

Now, this Seicento is used only for race and a new engine is coming : 1.4 16V 95hp from GrandePunto ('07)

I can see several guys here has made this mounting.
So I will check something to find information, to gain some hp during the engine restore :yum:

Hello,

I'm on the new swap to take of the engine 1.2 16v mk1 .
I'm searching information about the new 1.4 16v with cam solenoid because removed from a Grande Punto.

I have no ECU with the engin, only the gearbox 6 speed.
But I need some information the plug of the difference sensor in the inlet manifold.


Thanks for your help.

Hello.

After several search during few months, I have mounted the 1.4 16V engine at the end of 2015.
During 2016, i have put the wheels on trakdays and tryed to check and test setup.
Middle of 2016, I have bought a ECUMaster DET3 put on the 16v mk1 loom to check the parameters and tryed to do better ...

To remerber the engin setup :
- fully stock 1.4 16V from GP, STARJET, with cam phasing.
- mecanical throttle body from Brava
- stainless steel exhaust manifold big tube (from Toyosport)
- ECU oem 1.2 16V mk1 from Sporting + DET3 ,
- OEM intek manifold in plastic 1.4 16V
- fuel injectors : from TCT 240cc


In fact a original mix that is difficult to well set and have the best from this engine.

Perhaps others here have a similar setup to share our experience and setup on DET3 ?

new pics taken today because trak the next week :
