Tuning Tuned Bravos

[Fergie]

I know plenty of people have tuned their Bravos to around the 200bhp mark, but have many taken it further?

Or is this the domain of our punto / vauxhall / alfa friends that share alot of our engines?

To take it further you need to start doing quite a bit, new turbo, injectors, rebore, new pistons and rods, cams. The far more expensive and complicated things, not worth it for a 1.4L in a Bravo. There is a fiat 500 build that was quite amazing, he used G-tech and reached 260hp-300hp on a 500 Abarth weighing less than 1000kg.

Yes, one of the cheapest ways to make a car faster is to make it lighter - simple power to weight ratios and the Bravo isn't exactly light...
