Punto (Mk2/2b) My Punto

[ChrisUK]

peter told me there is no point in turboing this engine as everything inside would need uprated

Or I could find a scrapped t-jet and take the whole engine?

ya thats what he said dont turbo your engine its **** get a t-jet and we can turbo that

 

[punto_matt]

Why would you get a Tjet and turbo it? lol Tjets are already turbod

A Tjet lump has been dropped into a mk2 already anyway

Linky? :worship:

 

[punto_matt]

Not online sadly. Its a mate of mines mechanic that has done it. Works for Fiat so got everything he needed cheaply.

grande punto abarth turbo

 

[punto_matt]

So what you meant to say was you would buy a Tjet lump and swap the turbo for an abarth turbo not that you would turbo a Tjet.

ya. he said that would see over 190bhp easy. but iv gone of the idea now think if im going to be paying someone to put new engine in might as well put a coupe one in

 

[punto_matt]

Might touch it. Injectors wont be able to get anymore power after that.

A coupe engine would make it totally undrivable other than a straight line. Im not sure about were you live but I have lots of corners and bends all with rather prickly hedges on each side :nerner:.

i guess your right but i cant get all that power out of my head:worship:

Dont get why people are so obsessed with stick a 10year old engine that weighs a tonne in a punto when you could put a Tjet lump in and see 250+bhp if you were willing to spend the money on it.

becouse a 1.4 runing all the power is going to use alot more petrol and is not going to be very reliable with over 200bhp where as for a 2l 20v that much power is a walk in the park

Lies, They will use similar amounts of petrol and the 1.4 while cruising using low boost on the motorway could see 40+mpg which is impossible in the Coupe.

 

[punto_matt]

Your proof of this is where exactly? Or you just guessing?

well its just a guess really but can you really see a 1.4 being reliable with all that power? such a small engine with 250bhp has just got to be ask for trouble

 

[punto_matt]

Its fine talk to peter about it. If you do it on the cheap and dont maintain it properly then obviously it wont be reliable but i know what i would prefer to have in the front of my car a brand new engine with 250bhp or a 10+year old one with the same power.

Re: My New Punto

very nice

how easy to take stereo out, i need to replace my standard one

Get some removal keys and slot them in and it should be fine. 5 minute job.
Nice car, Chris.

Not when done properly. look at the Mitsubishi Evo VIII MR500 which has 500bhp out of a 2L.

 

[tim1989]

ok i guess im rong then owell im use to it by now still got along time to go before peter is ready to do the t-jet anyway think it was about 2months ago now he said i would have to whit 6months before he has work everthing out
