coupe turbo engine > stilo abarth
I have never done it but the lump drops in easy enough. Its the electrics that are the difficult part :bang:
There was a topic on here recently wasn't there? Either that or it was on the Fiat Stilo OC site!
Also, I'd class that thread as the 'easy' option.
Would involve far more work (basically I don't think its ever been done :chin if not fitting an engine that is not already part of the Stilo range.

if not fitting an engine that is not already part of the Stilo range.so its never been done but its doable just the electrics thats difficult to do thats the jist im getting ?

oh it's doable if you've got around 3-5k to spare (depending on your technical ability) and are willing to pay over the ods to insure your hotrod
im not the one with great technical ability to be honest, it would be my mates garage that would do it, im just trying to gauge how difficult it would be , cost etc. can you tell me what exactly would i be paying 3-5 grand for if its just going to drop in?
All you keep is the shell.. You replace everything else.. So work out the cost of getting a complete donor vehicle, dropping everything but the shell from yours and then grafting everything on.. If it were easy (or practical) everyone would be doing it.. As it is, you have a site full of people (and some here have a lot of expertise and skill) but no one has done it.. Although a few Greek guys have/come close (and did quite a few swaps.. but i think money/skill was no issue there). Beyond that – use search dude.. You are not the first person to pose this question
fair enough mate thanks for your help
As said in the thread I linked you............It is a pointless exercise......Other than the expertise it won't be worth it in the end unless you keep the car in the family.....Insuring it will be pretty much impossible as you will need an engineers report to say it's good then all the necessary paper work...If I were you I'd get somet like a Schui as they're around 4k going up.
These are the facts abarth/schui 170bhp group 15ins 4k going up
Coupe turbo 2l 220bhp 20v on a V plate 1.5k then the work and extras and 3k won't cover it
Just buy an abarth/schui

i already own an abarth mate (manual not silly speed), was after some more power without having to change the car but looks like i will have to search elsewhere

I wasn't trying to put you off or anything just saying that it will be pointless and you'll be just throwing money away. Why don't go down the route of a remap?
yeh i hear what your saying mate and your exactly right i just wasnt too sure what it would cost etc. its already remapped and gsr'd

In that case I think you're done the only other thing you can do is strip down to shed weight but again it won't be much of a car after. Go get yourself this or this or this they are what I'd call sex on wheels
nice motors out of my price range on those specific ones though tbh not sure how much mine would fetch now actually i would guess about £3500-£4000 (its a black 05 abarth on 33k)

Whatever you do best of luck with it and always glad to be of any help
novitec (Germany) used to do a supercharger for your engine (however to get any sort of decent boost you would need the complete kit with pistons rods etc. if not looking to rebuild the engine - you should be okish up to +20% although your engine is a bit old.. unless under 10k the company won't do the install sfar as i remember + it won't last long without serious mods to the innards) if you're interested the kit was about £2500 - £3000 (am quite certain you can get via a special order as long as you agree to no warranty of any kind)
I spkoe to a mechanic at a fiat dealer today.. he said it shouldnt be too much of a problem, he's gonna get sum stuff together and give me a call
really? thats cool let us know how you get on mate , post details
