General My 1.4 16v Cinquecento Development thread

haha.. no on them plugs

I have an excuse tho.. STILL waiting on my exhaust manifold. With eurostyling going belly up, it had to be ordered direct from the factory.. which is taking ages, and then it needs coating. argh.

 

[randomizered]

Aye, it'll be worth the wait though

What coating you having? Mine now has a coating of corrosion lol

 

[arc]

i'm having the outside cermaic coated (satin black). should keep engine bay temps down, exhaust temps up, and not adversely effect the manifold like the exhaust wrapping did.

Fantastic read. Especially since Oldschool showed up in a transporter the other night and deposited a stripped out Cinq rolling shell in my garage.

 

[arc]

well thats induction sorted!

 

[randomizered]

Lovely fit

You running a feed to the filter inlet?

 

[arc]

yeah i have some ~110mm ally ducting, but there is no bumper on it atm. Just before the bumper goes back on, i'll fit the tubing and tie it to the mesh.

saying that, the inlet manifold isnt actually bolted on there.. bolts aren't here yet.

 

[arc]

when turning it over the day, noticed the crank sensor wasn't registering.. got a new one fitted today, and checked - all a ok. thats all the electrics working

 

[blu73]

What you got left now mate??

gonna have to change your sig soon

 

[arc]

lol that sig is really old. car was on SPI and stock ECU in them shots

still left to do...

bolt on inlet manifold (when bolts turn up)
fit exhaust manifold (when manifold turns up)
fit radiator and cooling system (cannot be done till above are complete)

er.. that's it.

 

[randomizered]

I ordered some of them bolts as well, as they were titanium....mine haven't turned up either.

Getting close

fancy a showdown at york dragway at some point during summer arc?? interested to see how spi turbo setup stands up against one of these....... seeing as i have my NA cinq sat around not doing much these days

 

[Slosei]

From what i got told at work the company who was bringing supersprint in have gone bust, i know you said there getting it direct though

 

[randomizered]

Yeah, Eurowhatever went bust, but gazzella import direct

 

[arc]

huzzah my manifold is in the UK and should be at camcoat tomorrow :slayer:

 

[randomizered]

Excellent

I've been rewiring mine a little today to finally tidy it up Make sure you make it nice and neat to start off, else you may leave it a mess for a year and a half lol.

Kristian

 

[arc]

its semi neat. i've just fitted the inlet etc and got the thottle cable an all on. in theory, if i turn the key now, it'll fire up (albeit VERY loud and fire coming out of the head). fuel system is holding pressure at 3bar and all sensors check out.

 

[Slosei]

Start it start it lol

 

[arc]

Start it start it lol

haha.. no!

:slayer:

 

[arc]

£400 later... :shock:

nice to see it doesn't go as far under the engine as my last one, should be able to pivot where it needs and not stress it.
