yikes i seen talks of ppl putting 5cyl turbo's into tipos, does this actually work? i love the sound of the 5cyl but i much prefer the roar of the 16v though!
yes,the 5 cylinder has been done,and the coupe complete dash goes in too.ive heard though its not a good conversion.:) the video car is def a 16v engine.;)

just in general really. thats madness lol. i had a 1.4 ie turbo in my last tipo and that was fast enough!
quite agree.the thing for speed gets me down sometimes.people spend so much time and money shoehorning engines,and then finding the car is crap to drive,take the punto 2.0 16v turbo conversion.the shell is not man enough for the job,and the car does not drive well at all.best to improve what you have already got or put in a next size engine like 1108 - 1242cc.or 1.4 - 1.6 say.horses for courses.:)
 
Even though it got beat in those vids it can still shift!!! :)

noticed on the right hand drive car,no oil pressure gauge reading!
the 5 cylinder turbo should really of beat those cars.i think that car had problems somewhere.:)
 
The Tipo in the TipovsGolf vid didn't even look like it tried, furthermore on the other vids on the Tipo just driving with the cam on the speedo it started rattling but not a speed rattle, sounded like an engine rattle :confused:

Of course I am going to defend the Tipo, The 2.016v can beat a Golf GTI, maybe not easy but it can do.


Motor, year, BHP, 1/4 mile seconds, 1/4 MPH

VW Golf GTi 16v 1993 150 16.4, ?

american spec cars i think.my old white 5door [Jreg],would eat golf's easily.even sorted a hard driven BMW 325 sport.standard car but very early one.1991 model which was reputed to make 155bhp.it was very quick.
 
Hello.
I know it's been a while scince last post on this subject.
I've just entered this forum a few moments ago and do I see???
This Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole is of my good friend (we live in Israel)
This car is hard modified. He spent over 20000$ for tuning.
It runs on Garret gt40 turbo. Haltec ControlUnit, Dry NOS system, all inside of the enginge is upggrated to hold about 350-400 bhp.
He broke trasnmission 3 times and now he fitted the one from fiat Coupe.

It is really fast car, belive me I've tried it.
Me my self have an stock 2.0 16V 3 doors Tipo 1994.
This car bit many Imprezas, Evos and so on here...
Also we have some tuners with Ford Cosword running about 500bhp (the guy worked 5 years in NASCAR in USA) those are out of legue
