I was dreaming about it a lot of time, a lot of time spent following here the turbo projects to accumulate info and ideas.
Now I've got a present, an IHI RHB4 turbo and a intercooler, so started to look how it could fix. It's only first 5% of job, don't know when will be done the rest (money money money).
Crappy looking Punto 75 1995, 363000 km. A lot of jobs done (repair / maintenance). lpg.
Punto Gt brakes (3th gen. on front, rear discs), some lower springs (should be eibach sportline but i'm not sure - someone has the part number?), eibach antiroll bars, -1kg flywheel, freshe engine, nothing particular.
I have this car already 5 years, I thinked to throwing it away a couple of years ago, but then changed engine, started fixing everything (part after part), then some slight tuning (springs, shocks, better brakes, better seats, alfa 145) and abbandoned the scrpayard idea. Now only a powerful engine is missing.
Will do 1.2 8v with 16v pistons, must choose the compression ratio but I think around 8-9, boost around 1 bar, megasquirt 2 with wideband. Would like to hit around 140-150hp and 200nm, this should be the maximum possible to push out without big problems. Should be enough for overpassing with spinning wheels in 2nd gear After that, when everything will be done, and if I'll be still crazy, will go for tjet (not going directly for pleasure of building a turbo conversion and no money).
Some pics:
test bench engine (for keep car still running)
nice gift
scrappy car
First moves:
Love the space:
Hope to not taking years for seeing it finished
sorry for bad english
