Tuning help moddin a 899cc cinq
yes you can turbo it, but you have got the worse platform im afraid, its much easier to do it with a 1108 rather than an 899 so i would sell the 899 and get a 1108 then go from there, looks at FAQ's/guides etc, with all newbies we dont like to spoon feed and appreciate some effort from yourself in researching the matter
There isnt a lot out there mod wise now as by the time you are done, you will only be as quick as a 1108
Also unfortuneatly its now easier to buy a vehicle that is already turboed, and the cinq is getting ready on in years and there are much better and faster things available for what it would cost to turbo it

It isn't hard work on the ECU. If you have a late ECU it can be mapped (in this case chip).
Turbo charging the 899 means to have the turbo in the worst spca you can have it.
If you fit the 1.2 Punto engine you need the Punto gear box or a Cinquecento Sporting gear box as well as the drive shafts.
Sorry for the daft reply, but there are so many faq's on this and countless threads that contributing members just end up constantly repeating themselves, this question crops up literally a couple of times a week in the form of new threads and it gets tiring answering the same questions.
If you have a good search you should find all the answers you need on the more basic stuff in terms of which way to go, but by all means if you can't find something then ask and someone will be along to help

it cool mate im not to keen on the turbo and was just wondering if there is a supercharger out there because all i can find at the moment is the old mini one wiv a bit of work it cud be a very mean 899cc i now i cud get a biger engine and this is one option im looking at my cinq on a L plate and we dropt the engine last week
Probably not enough space for the mini supercharger, plus which it's designed for a much bigger engine.
An 899 is really the wrong place to start -- a Sporting would be a much better base car (and the cheapest option is still to pop a Punto 60 -- 1242 -- engine in it).

If you could find a small Sprintex unit it might fit.

But hens teeth and would probably cost 2 or 3 times what the car is worth as would the even smaller Rotrex.
Yep. It would be an interesting project (and some of us have done things nearly as daft
).
