After months of work, the Super Seicento is FINALLY ready for some more power and what better way to do that than with a 1242 engine swap? It's the moment we've all waited for!

I can't wait until I can get a 1.2 (or even a 1.4 tjet) in my Seicento! Maybe then she'll get taken more seriously because the stickers are a big mocking point for everyone else to attack mine, maybe with a bigger engine it will prove them wrong! Until then though 'Scrapbook Sally' as she's known still puts a huge smile on my face even though I am still learning.. I'm super jealous of the super seicento now!

Nice mod. My Punto was originally a 55s with the same 1108cc engine as yours and now I also have a 1248cc engine running on LPG. I want to get a 6 speed gear box. I am swaping the exhaust in October when I go home with John Ashley 4-2-1 manifold and Pipercross air filter. My exhaust is a european homologated rally exhaust from CSC, hand made in Italy but because it has 2 silencers, its not too noisy. I want to get the Abarth body kit, TA Technix coilovers and either Compomotive MO1571 15inch or Butzi Odin 15" wheels and as soon as I can, paint the car then I will call my project "concluded" but there is always bits and bobs to do. Need to replace my windshield as it has some scratches and want to polish the rocker cover (think thats how its called), and the battery support. Regards

do you have an oil catch can or on oil seperator fitted in. I have a 1999 fiat seicento sporting and i am thinking of putting in an oil catch can to help the throttle and the intake being clean.

Would barely fit and would be a pain in the arse to fit 😂 but cheers dude 😁

@miralemnermina142 6 жыл бұрын

You can put camshaft from punto mk1 75, also put oil catch can. If you want to put turbo, you are safe around 1.0bar (I've seen ones runing on 1.3 on stock engine). You should also get that 1.1 ECU remaped because punto has rev limit at 6500rpm while stock seicento one has rev limit at 7000rpm but still I've seen stock engines that revved to 7500rpm (not smart but still) and built one that revved to 9000rpm (and it didn't take a lot of work to do it)

Hi there. Did you change the coil pack in the interests of reliability as opposed to necessity ? Did the standard ECU require no mods whatsoever ? In other words- aside from the belt issues- did it run just fine ?

@MillerCorner 2 жыл бұрын

It ran spot on, the coil pack was a "while we're there" job 👍🏻 the 1108 ECU takes about 100 miles of varied driving to learn the new engine, after that it'll be a bit more economical and smoother

I'm assuming you bothered to Dyno run the car pre and post engine swap. What gains did you get?

@MillerCorner 6 жыл бұрын

Sadly didn't have a chance to dyno pre swap - as much as I wanted more power, this is more a "butt dyno" car, more about fun and feel than outright huge power. Dyno run may be coming soon, though...

@philipwithington69 6 жыл бұрын

So I appreciate the fact your modding this little car. I had one, they are very slow. There are a lot of factors, however the 1.1 engine had around 55bhp the 1.2 8v was around 60 bhp. At the flywheel, for me personally that's not enough of a gain. I'm very interested to see what you do next. Forced induction anyone?

@MillerCorner 6 жыл бұрын

May or may not be more tuning to come on this engine 😉 they key number isn't the power, though, it's the torque - this engine makes considerably more torque throughout the rev range, making it useably fun

@philipwithington69 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah I'd like to be proven wrong, but maybe an extra 10 ft lb in torque. Before you factor losses in the gearbox.

@@MillerCorner , I understand what you're saying, and I'm not trying to take the Mick. The only reason I say this is, there must of been a better way of getting more performance other then a rebuilt short block, where the entire engine and gearbox has to come out. I remember when I had my first car (rover 213) to get more power out of it, I went to the local "aftermarket performance" shop, they told me a Weber twin choke carb would be best. I paid less then £150 for the carb, took it to a mate who fitted it and got it working for another £20, I then took it to a rolling road place 15 miles up the road who spent a couple of hours making sure everything was installed proper, and then tuned it on the rollers, which cost another £60. The car was completely transformed! When I took it easy the car was better on fuel, and top speed went from 105mph to 120mph. All of this was done in less then an afternoons work!

only been watching his vids lately as i was looking at one for a cheap bit of fun and his seems cool, but other than being a lower mileage engine, this engine wasnt much of an upgrade. i owned a mk2 punto with the same 1.2 and was decent for 60hp, but this guy couldve got the punto sporting engine. still a 1.2, but has over 80hp, so wouldve been much better. turbo kits for these cars were riddled with problems. i havent watch that many vids, so i dont know how much power hes managed to get since this video. the cars are super light though
