Cinquecento Emma's Turbo Progress Thread!

[jamie86]

I'm sure that em's dad knows a thing or too bou turbo engines people

Em all starting to come together nicely

On the flywheels I know that I found one flywheel I had was a slight dif bolt patern to another and 1108 and 1242 ones are different weights..

Get some pics of your core plugs up

This is not about an argument.

Emma's dad certainly knows a company that used to be called Rovercraft. It was run by two brothers. They did Paris Dakar race preparation amongst other things. They were very well known in their days. The were racing themselves.
One day one of the two brothers saw the other one die crashing with over 160mph into a barrier. I knew them both quite well. When I speak to him today I speak to a broken man who feels guilty, because something broke that shouldn't have done so because it was overlooked.

Why is it that guys like you need to see someone die before you take things serious?

I get what your saying, and i am taking it seriously, i will find out if what has been done is safe. As it happens we have a spare flywheel if it has been done wrong.
thankyou for your concerns

Rather than trashing Em's thread any more why not just discuss my attitude via PM if it's really that much of a concern to all of you lot

Its not that, I felt there was a lack of understanding going on, that's all

Apologies to Em

back on subject. ford zetec pistons with a little machining to spec fit the fire engine. better piston then the fiat one.
flywheels in race trim are about 3.5kg in weight. fiat challenge run at 5kg. they need extra fasteners to stop them moving. dowling is one way. another area that makes good power is sorting the crankcase out.

It's already been mentioned that they ain't fiat pistons going in there though.

The PCD on the flywheels can differ, if yours does get redone Emma and you find the spare flywheel you have is the wrong PCD, I have a couple of spare ones that you are more than welcome to.

great thread emma.hopfully one day i'll give my turbo the same level off TLC and you can get me cheap pistons too

Theres a lot of what about this and what about that going on on this thread when all Emma was doing was trying to update on what was happening with her car, some may not even have known that she bought a poorly hi-boost turbo and in so doing is keeping one of these rare breeds on the road, something I think she be applauded. Its not for me to mention her Dads background but he is an engineer for one of the worlds most revered engine builders, everything from road cars to F1 so has many years experince of developing, racing and rallying cars.

So lets watch and listen to see what other tricks up his sleeve he deploys on this engine in his quest to make it powerful, reliable, tractable, and ultimately faster than mine, his prime objective really, lol

Now where do i get that reprofilled cam and an exhaust to suit a turbo engine from again

Might be a bit of a stupid question, but would the 'Cosworth engineer' that Aaron sometimes refers to and Em's dad be the same person? :chin:

How much power and torque are we looking at getting from this lump?

Thankyou Aaron xxx
This is true my dad has tricks up his sleeve to hopefully out do Aaron's turbo, that even i dont know about, probably because he doesnt want to give Aaron any ideas,lol

Yes that would be correct

Umm hard to say at this point but would be aiming for around the 120bhp mark if possible!

novitec quote 118bhp from their high boost 1242 turbo conversion, so i would say 125 is achievable with a few other mods. :slayer:

and more, Sam got a quote from I think Turbo Technics who say they can get it up to 200bhp, now that i would like to see!

dont need a turbo to acheive 120 bhp out of the 1242.

So that's what that other 1108 was for :chin:

 

[foxyemx]

That was just at a guess, could possibly be more than 120bhp, but as Aaron said the torque is the more important factor!

 

[mase]

Yeah, but with a snowballs chance in hell of matching the torque

and it doesnt go psssssssst :slayer:

 

[mase]

stop your bitching boys or i will be seriously editing this to get it back on topic

 

[mase]

ok people..... ive got rid of all the off topic crap on this thread in an attempt to keep it to the original topic.

a thread for emma to post the progress of her turbo restoration... simple as that.

any problems... PM me!!!
