I have a 1.4 16v, was thinking about trading in for a t-jet. Would it be worth it?

General T-Jet Performance Stats
Probably but the TJet isn't strictly a FIRE unit, although I think its basically the same engine however its classed as a TJet engine not a FIRE engine.
Also referring back to my original post I did say the 1368cc was the biggest FIRE engine in terms of bore and stroke therefore the TJet doesn't really apply to my argument since it has the exact same bore and stroke as the N/A 8v.
Anywho, :whogives::Offtopic:

As far as I have ever been able to work out the two are identical in all but turbo size and engine map. Opens up a nice upgrade path for 120 owners.
As for the fire thing; my understanding is that the modern 1.4s (inc t-jet and multiair) are derived from the fire but are not true fire engines.
Now who's going to fit a 170bhp multiair head to their punto???
12 seconds? :O definately doesnt feel like that to me. Suppose im not counting when accelerating. Will have to try and count on my way home.
id say not depending how much you can get one for. Are you looking for a quick car in general or just a quicker punto?

Quicker Punto lol, I've seen a red tjet a year newer mines plus its only done under 13,000 miles, car for car I'd pay £2500 to it
Incorrect,
The Abarth and Bravo 150 lumps are the same, different Cams (definate) + different Turbo I think hence the different powerbands. I would expect maps to be different based on the different amounts of air/fuel required also.

Ok so cams as well, all minor parts; fundamentally they are the same engine.
Minor part.... wouldn't work without it...
Also a limiting factor to how much power you can get out of an engine
I will agree the rest is very similar though

A minor change rather than a minor part.
I've hunted for comparable performance stats for the m-jet. I can only find the usual 0-60 and max speed which I'm sure everyone has seen anyway. Shame, I was up for some friendly m-jet bashing!

My T-Jet is a lot quicker than the above stats, still factory. Just added gsr induction and now a little quicker and has a nice 'shhh' between gear shifts

i don't think it is as standard mate, it feels quick but i think thats just down to the torque when its on boost.
i remember pulling off from a junction next to a private taxi (1.9cdti) i had my foot to the floor and barely pulled away from him
Every car seems quicker than it is, you're only really shown how quick it really is when something tediously average (i.e diesel Insignia) shows it a clean pair of heels.

I struggled to pull away from a pasat bluemotion recently when exiting a dual carriageway roundabout. I bet that thing weighed 300kg more and gives close to 50mpg too.
I struggled to pull away from a Ford Ka that was falling to pieces...then it passed me.
I've given up pulling away from anything, just enjoy my reliability, comfort and rattles in the slow lane.

My Abarth feels quicker than my dads boxter S, its not.... just the torque is more a rushed delivery due to the turbo, more frantic and urgent and less controllable as well.
But I can safely say its more "fun" to drive
