Tuning Help needed : What's the next in the tuning of my cinque ?

[ycming]

ming is just taking the michael out of a certain member cause he can't drop it.

ROFL

Anyway, Blu is correct, the P75 will be a god upgrade if you want to keep the 8v route. The great thing is, MPI and you can run the ecu without much wiring issues!

But anywhere between 70 to 80 is great .

I'll do the work on the head then, and see the difference ! I'll keep you guys updated.

So next cinque will be a swap then.. P75 engine, tuned in a daily track day car.

Thanks blu for the help. How much bhp can I expect from a tuned p75 ? And what modification is needed to go in a cinque ?

 

[blu73]

not much needed really, should just bolt in pretty much. Modify the loom for the mpi, or swap the engine loom from the donor. The inlet needs a pipe modifying.

Have a read through this. http://fiatforum.com/cinquecento-seicento/326971-cinque-1-2-mpi.html

There is other threads on the conversion, thats just a recent one i remember. This is something i plan on doing myself sometime soon - just totally skint again and taking time to amass parts.

Power wise, with a flowed head and the cam etc etc i would guess you'll be up around 90-100bhp, but as with everything else thats been suggested in this thread, some kind of aftermarket management will allow you to get the best out of all the mods over using a stock ecu, be it the original one or a P75 one.

Thanks for all the info ! So is it the all block that you change from the p75 or just the top end ? Also, do you keep the cinque gearbox, or the punto one ?

Last question : will a engine from a RHD p75 will fit in a LHD Cinquecento ?

 

[blu73]

you want the whole engine, but you can use any 8v 1242 bottom end and a P75 head seperately if you can't find a complete engine.

Can use gearbox from either.

rhd or lhd, makes no difference.

 

[fingers99]

The engine will be the same, LHD or RHD.

If swapping you may as well change head and block -- most of the extra capacity comes from the longer stroke.

Thanks for all the info guys ! I'll keep you updated on the dyno test from the Giannini !

*says iin american voice *
Theres no replacement for displacement

 

[blu73]

never has a phrase been so wrong.. Boost is the replacement for displacement clearly

Mind you, it helps to start with a 7 litre V8....................
