Technical punto tb on cinq

[levemircento]

I read somewhere that a punto [60?] throttle body fits the cinq, and is slightly bigger, would that make it slightly more powerful? would it work with a mckcrich chip [when I get one] and most important at the moment, will it work with standard chip? use more petrol??

Nero has one on the 1242 engine, works fine with the standard Cinq ECU, never tried a McKritch chip.

Alaina has a 32mm TB and a mcKritch Chip. Works fine.

what size is fitted to cinq as standard? if I get a punto one, do I need to get the inlet manifold as well? are they matching?

 

[GhostWKD]

its a bolt for bolt for the 32mm throttle body just make sure you get the punto spacer too as the cinq spacer will be a 30mm bore

the standard cinq one is 30mm and the 60 is 32mm, doesnt sound like much, but like tesco, every little helps

So what Fiat supplies the 38mm one that's bolt for bolt but missing 1 or 2 vacumn take offs?

 

[GhostWKD]

the punto 75 throttle body i think is the 38mm, but its not a bolt for bolt, not too sure exactly whats involved as i just havnt got the concentration at this time on a sat morning but info will be about somewhere

Sigh,

2mm is better than nothing but most people go for Trickers 40mm TB conversion
Believe me it is well worth it check out the classified's

 

[fingers99]

I'd not pay ott for one -- there's a 36mm one from a Pug/Citroen which, IIRC, will bolt straight on. Secondhand, maybe 30 squid. From memory fixitagaintomorrow and foxyemma are running them.

 

[cheeqic_nto]

Anyone know exactly what french car it's from?

The one on Emmas turbo Cinq is from a Citroen Zantia 1.4 Reflex IIRC, I got it from scrap yard for £10.

So best trying any 1.4 PCG car you see.

Got mine from a Pug 106, i 'think' it was a 1.2, but the TU3M engine uses a mixture of Weber and Bosch TB's. They look very similar so make sure when you remove it that it is a Weber.

i don't want to start a new thread ,

Do you know where i can get a gasket for the insulating spacer from the punto 60 tb ?
, well it says in the haynes to fit with a new gasket, but i just phoned a few motorfactor, they don;t seem to have them ot heard of them.

cheers

Cut one from gasketpaper or use silicon gasket kit.

If you are a member of ClubCento then Fluffy (Mick) can get them, I bought mine 2 weeks ago for 98p, but thats for the 36mm version.

Failing that, get a sheet of gasket paper and make one yourself as Turbociny says. Its easy to do and very useful stuff to have about.

Don't be tempted to use normal silicone sealer, this is not petrol resistant. Proper liquid gasket is fine though.

 

[ycming]

one more question,

when changing the 30mm tb to the 32mm, do i just change the bottom half and keep the same top half ??

is that true??

cheers

 

[ycming]
