Cinquecento my green cinq project.

[ycming]

what do you do or use to polish it?

 

[centoproject]

long proses i use a small grinding stone to flat it out (remove pits) then gradually work up the wet and dry using a compound as a lubricant then go on to the buffer with different mops and compounds

noticed a small discrepancy in the FPR the one on the rail is from my p85

Ah that is interesting, still like I said don't waste any time making my regulator shiny matey, I'll be using one of these



I was going to use one of these and my external regulator



However it was cheaper to buy the regulator than the adaptor .

It's also a much neater and less fussy solution. I have an inline fuel gauge to set it up.

Anyway keep up the good work that rail is already looking extra shiny and a million times better than it did before, you're doing an amazing job on it.

I hope you're happy with the brackets. Don't forget to send my regulator clips back as I'll still need them.

Cheers

 

[centoproject]

just cleaned it to look at info lol and were did you get the in-rail regulator from and will doo

is this it ?

That tis the fella, I know he's cheap and cheerful but worst case scenerio I'll have to wind him open and use my external, either way it's cheaper than an adaptor so a no lose situation, oh and he's shiny red so he'll make my car go faster. :yum:

 

[centoproject]

off topic update but i've purchased another engine it is a nice platform for a turbo its an old design but light has a sequential gearbox and it's a long stroke oh and its oil cooled it was cheap ish so lets :worship: its ok

this is not to say the 1.2 16v turbo is not going a head

 

[Honeymonster]

Hmmm oil cooled with a sequential box, must be a motorbike I guess.

 

[centoproject]

correct lol gsxr 750 engine

 

[centoproject]

got the diff out of the old punto box going to look into making a drop in gsxr bike engine conversion kit without cutting anything of amd so it can be returned to a standard car no welding that's the plan anyway

 

[Honeymonster]

What year is the motor fella?

 

[centoproject]

1987 lol its and old one

 

[Honeymonster]

Hmmm this one:

Engine Type: 16-valve, 4-stroke, DOHC in-line four
Power: 106.00 HP (79.04 kW) @ 10500 RPM
Torque: 73 nm (53.8 ft. lbs.) @ 10000 RPM
Displacement: 749.00 cc (45.70 cubic inches)
Compression: 9.8:1
Bore x Stroke: 70.0 x 48.7 mm (2.8 x 1.9 inches)
Fuel System: Carburetion
Ignition: Full Transistor
Cooling System: Air/oil-cooled
Gearbox: 6-speed (1 down, 5 up)
Final Drive: Chain
Dry Weight: 176 kilograms (390 lb)

So lighter than a standard motor but a bit less torque.

Being carbed it would be a nightmare to turbo unless you went injection.

Should go well in a light car though and be good fun.

Don't forget you will need to fabricate something so you can have a reverse gear, starter motor is a common option, just don't try and reverse up any hills.

 

[centoproject]

yep that's the beast lol and yeh going injection and as for reverse eather the starter motor method or worm gear method for a bit more control

 

[centoproject]

the engine has arrived it looks in very good condition and i have turned it over and all sounds good

 

[centoproject]

this engine is immaculate only 7.000miles and i believe that the lobes are still perfect






:slayer:

 

[Honeymonster]

Damn that looks clean inside. You're gonna need a big oil cooler.

 

[centoproject]

yep and ye my intentions are a bank of oil coolers also there is another plus reducing compression ratio is very easy due to the fact the barrels can separate therefore all i need to do is raise barrels from the base no need to mes around with HG

 

[Honeymonster]

 

[fishboy123]

When u finished u can have a turquoise cinquecento to do if u like. haha

Great job by the way, wish i could do this.

 

[ycming]

Look at the picture with both cam in it, the top cam, on the right hand side, it is clear that is not as polished as all other lobe?

But this is gonna be a tidy tidy project!
