Seicento Monster Cento/ECU Master Thread

[blu73]

well its not ideal no, neither my tubs have had issues with heat though.. I was planning to stick the CDA near the passenger headlight like my cone and then run a duct somewhere to colder air.. For the reducer, first thing that sprang to my mind was exhaust suppliers, surely you can get a nice shiny bit of stainless reducer from one of them for not too much dollar.

I know way back J333EVO had CDA mounted where i was intending and i think he ran a supply duct down over gearbox and somehwere near wheel arch or something.. I never actually saw it, perhaps its still the same.... fingers99 care to share?

I'm not worried about the adaptor part that will be easy, drain pipe section in B&Q will probably stock a solution. I'm worried about the filter being the size of a dinner plate.

As for heat issues... you probably wouldn't have noticed just lost power and had more heat soak in traffic. Jersey is traffic most of the time.

Yes, that's right. Aaron always puts the filter airbox atop the gearbox. CDA unit with convoluted red tubing. If you use a CDA, do replace the little screws with stainless ones. They rust and look horrible.
Can't remember where the red tubing actually ran to!

When I get a chance I'll see if I can find any pics.

If I build another FWD turbo the turbo will sit on top of the gearbox (manifold like the one in the Polish car Woj posted) so I'll have to re-think the placement of the filter, cold air, etc.

 

[blu73]

was a cool looking setup, be interesting to see how equal you can get the pipe lengths on the manifold..

Damn talking like that makes me feel like I'm lowering my IQ. Now I guess I have to call you CP. Needless to say the avatar kind of gave it away.

It's just too damn cold at the moment brrrrr!

 

[blu73]

lol, you guys make me laugh

Luckily!

You forgot the bit about lowering it 60mm..................

Not really an update (I'm working 12 hour days ATM) just some bits in the post:



Hats off to ASH for sending a 3kg parcel recorded delivery to Jersey for £1.50

Hoses look good and their prices were very reasonable too. I guess the real test will be seeing how long they last but the feel inspires confidence.

Well Monster is tucked up safe in a clean dry paint shop until the new year. I simply don't have time to do any more until then and plan to have a nice relaxing Christmas break. The exhaust system is finished bar a few hangers needing to be welded on, I will post some pictures at a later date.

For those who celebrate it enjoy your Christmas chaps.

Thanks for the wishes, Marry X-mas!

But, in all honesty mate, I think you got the idea of a quiet X-mas all wrong

Well eating till your clothes no longer fit and being unable to drive for several days due to consuming large quantities of refreshing beverages seems relaxing to me? (hands out a plate of virtual mince pies...)

 

[blu73]

That's fair enough i suppose, I'll put my rolling pin away until January

Well, no, you see, that you only deserve to do after you have been lying down on your parent's cold shed floor for 8 hours trying to do something to your car. Only then is X-mas feasting earned. At least that's how I remember last 7 or so X-mas holidays. Not this one though

Well that depends... the only reason any job would take 8 hours on a Cento would be due to pre-feast consumption of tasty Christmas beverages.

Due to you Polish chaps celebrating most things a day early I can only think that 8 hour job was something simple causing difficulties due to being unsure of which of the three duplicate objects you were seeing to select.

Lying on a cold shed floor certainly implies some religious qulaities though... are you sure it wasn't a manger and you were waiting for three wise mechanics? :devil:

Slight delay, Desy is moving workshop so Monster remains tucked up safe and dry in the paint shop. On the plus side his new place has a ramp so finishing the remaining pipeswork will be much easier.

Just placed another order with ASH for some more aluminium sections. Once again £1.25 shipping and no V.A.T.

In the mean time I'm after a rust free sunroof, Monsters is a little worse for wear, in fact all Seis this age seem to have crusty sun roofs but not Cinqs .

If anyone has a clean one they would be happy to ship please let me know.

Also a nice mint silver Cinq came up with 23,000 miles in the local classifieds over Christmas. I was tempted by but resisted, one project at a time and I'm running out of parking spaces.

 

[trogdor]

Yes the sunroof on my 2001 sei is also a bit crusty! Woukd like a fresh one at some point, buts its way down on the list of priorities. The dead fuel pump is at the top of the list at the mo.

Have enjoyed this thread looking forward to more updates hope the delay is not too prolonged!

 

[Honeymonster]

2 weeks at most no need to worry.

Have you seen the price of a new sunroof and that's on an outdated EPER

I'm sure I read somewhere that Cinq ones are the same, I have a clean spares 899 Cinq with one. I can't get to it at the moment but when I can its got to be worth a try!

 

[centoproject]

i think they should be the same cp advises you to buy the cinq

 

[Honeymonster]

cp advises you to buy the cinq

I actually have a full spare Abarth body kit in silver and boxes full of Cinq spares (including a manifold and a turbo), however if I do another small Fiat it would have to be something like this:



I'd like to do a project that is actually worth more than when I started for a change... lol
