General Link to a engine swap

[Flappjak]

Could someone find me a link to a punto engine swap for a carb panda as the I can not use the search

Try via google, it is far more efficient compared to the search box.

hmm what engine are you going for?

you can use any FIRE block as it will mount up to your gear box no problem.
you will need to use the original panda engine mounts from off the old 999cc engine.
you will also need a in line fuel pump of around 2.5 bar of pressure depending on what engine you go for.

here is andyholli's Snach panda which had a 16v engine change:

this is my project Fallout which has had a 1.2 8 valve engine change:

Ok thanks

Well it's the 900 l dance with Webber carb so it's the fact about the ecu that confuses me because I get told it shouldn't have one then others tell me it does

 

[Dragon Man]

if its a late 903 engine (around 1993) it would have one that only controls the ignition system.
if it has a carb, it will have something to make it auto cut off the fuel when coasting. it would only be a little solenoid valve though.

i bet we had the same ecu on our marbella... umm.. "IAW 6F . SF" then something like "CARB ECO" under that.




note, the twin coil packs at the right side of the air filter:


i miss that car

Pretty sure all Panda 903's were carb and distributor, they stopped selling the 903cc engine in the Panda when the emissions regs came in.

Mines a j reg so it comes with out a cat and so it's in the engine bay

That bloke should start with a Panda 4x4.

I've removed most of the parts such as the wings, boot, bumpers, rear seats, all carpets, lights, most of the wiring and all glass.
​

Why did you do this?

Quote

I did this as I wanted a field car just to mess around in and have some fun
​

Fair enough, and why are you selling it now?

Quote

after getting this all ready I couldn't find anywhere to drive it so now I just need to get rid of it
​

Oh. I had naively assumed you started with the field.

Quote

Selling really cheap due to wanting space
​

Selling really cheap because it's been dismantled.

Quote

The only bad thing and it is the only bad thing is that I wanted the car to sound a bit more meaner so I cut half the exhaust system off and I can say it defiantly sounds a lot meaner but the bad thing is that where I've cut the exhaust, the bit that still remains on the car drags on the floor so reversing is difficult but this can be fixed by simply holding it up with something.
​

That is the only bad thing.

 

[andyholli]

'defiantly' - love that.

Step 1 sell the 903 and get a Panda with a FIRE engine.

Step 2 get a Cinqucento/Seicento/Punto 55 1108cc, Punto 60/75 1242cc

Step 3 swap all the bits over.

Step 4 have fun.

 

[Flappjak]

Selling the 903 might be a bit of a problem now since I've just taxes and insured it so money has already gone out and would the fire engine fit into mine or would I need to alter the mounts

 

[Dragon Man]

you would need to change the mounts, and i think you would also need to make new bolt holes in the shell to fit the new mounts. theres people on here who have done it..
Alixcompo's seat panda terra thread may help you..:
