Technical Putting some extra "juice" in a Tempra

[tempramental]

Hi everyone,

I would like to share some ideas for spicing up a Tempra. Any comments?

Thanx

Which engine does you car have?

 

[tempramental]

It's a 1.4 liter engine fitted with a carburettor (78 bhp). Runs OK, but could need some extra power. Any ideas?

Check out the pictures of my car under the title "Pictures of a Tempra" at the pictures forum.

Thanks!

I think you could try with the usual jobs...enlarged carburettor, cotton air filter or a complete induction kit, new camshaft,i.e. a C&B one...they're fine[8D]

Hi Dario,

Thanks for the reply! It seems that maybe the best solution to more horsepower is actually changing the engine. I've been looking at diferent engines from the Fiat group (Fiat and Lancia). I've been told that a Alfa engine is to complicated to fit in a Fiat due to engine fixing points. Possible engines to fit in a Tempra:
- Fiat Coupé 2.0 20v Turbo (220 bhp)
- Lancia Thema 2.0 16v Turbo (180 bhp)
- Lancia Delta Integrale

The only "changes" my car's engine has right now is a cotton air filter from Sparco, Bosch Super 4 spark plugs and a exhaust from Remus. All the rest is standard.

Keep on posting the replies! [8D]

Hi,

The usual mods are a cotton air filter (you can really notice the diference in the engine behaviour and particulary in the engine sound ). Try some performance spark plugs and a sport exhaust system. This will all give you some extra horsepower without any risk, and you can fit it yourself!

The ultimate change would be fitting a new engine. I almost succeeded in getting a Ferrari engine from a Lancia Thema 8.32, but unfortunatly the engine had two broken pistons . The guy was willing to sell the whole car for 75 Euros!!!
