awsome sleeper

 

[Jay Payne]

Some really great posts in here. Always room for more tho keep 'em coming.

 

[172Ben]

If you ever sell that get in touch Awesome, if FMIC was hidden that would be a true sleeper.

There is a green corsa round crewe running 300bhp, rapid!!

 

[172Ben]

Rear shot

Engine, this is the 1.4 k series Throttle bodied, 154 bhp, before switching all the same stuff to a 1.8vvc mems 3.

 

[172Ben]

How about a punto?

With a cosworth engine, running 557bhp before another remap, shud be 600bhp+ easy.

 

[kyle_sxi]

i think the shell of the punto would go before the engine lol

 

[172Ben]

There is a 4 wheel drive one aswell

 

[Craigie-B15]

AMEN xx .................

ah its not a proper sleeper the badge isn't standard

 

[cat171]

Cossie powreed punto wtf ???? Madness !! Never ever seen someone do that conversion before !

 

[172Ben]

Usually its fiat coupe engine into a punto, but they put a cossy lump in,lol!

 

[n0rm]

LOL at the turbo downpipe on that fiat.......about as restrictive as a nuns sleve...........

Ive never seen that either,or a fwd (transverse) cossie lump


Impressive, think id of gone 20v turbo tho in a fiat

Must be that size for a reason. The guy owns www.powerontheroad.org. Massive italian tuner so think hes done it for a purpose i imagine.

but also coz there is feck all room, still 600 hp tho

 

[n0rm]

the only reason its that small is because of the boost hose mate!!! its no use nore orimant!!! why not swivvle the turbo houseing and rerun the boost hose differantly!!!

eaither way bloody good tool tho

 

[rory182]

FPMSL at the Scandanavian Model A, what an awesome sleeper.

Love the secret misfire map lol genius

 

[kpowell911]

Just came out the gym and saw an awesome Metro lol.

1.1 Kensington, With a box of tissues on the parcel shelf, beaded seat covers, And a rude boy "walnat effect vinyl steering wheel cover"

Running a 1.8 VVC with 190bhp+

Spins in 4th gear he said

Only thing that let it down, It was his absolute pride and joy and in better condition than Rich's 182, He had spent nearly 5 figures on it he said, It had a full bare shell respray and nut and bolt restoration. It also had prisitine refubed GTA rims.

Could have done with rusty arches and 3 wheel trims FTW

 

[n0rm]

my mates f7r turbo powered R5GTT.....380 hp 2.7 sec to 60----11.2 qtr mile

 

[172Ben]

Thing is 1inch of zaust for every 100hp on a turbo is correct way of doing it, problem is, couldnt fit a 6inch downpipe in there :S

My punto ran 2.5 inch, some people ran 3inch with 200bhp and had problems.

I think its just to awkward like you said, no bloody room.

 

[john182rs]

I got toasted by a Nova last year.....god knows what it had in it but it was like a rocket!!!

was more than likely a calibra turbo powered item

There was some lad i used to talk to ages ago who had the calibra turbo engine in a corsa an it topped out at 169 on a private road of course.
Im currently in the process of planting the integra type r engine in the rear of a mini, keeping the ext standard. I was going to modifiy the clio to the hilts, but its cheaper to build a mini from scratch plus ill get more bang for my buck.

2 years ago it was on ITBs mate. Was about 120bhp so don't think it was this. Quite a few G40 polos up north that make excellent power to weight ratios though
