Hi I'm Brett new to the forum I have a fiat seicento sporting I have owned the car for some time now and ready for more power I wanted to know if i can use the 1.0 connecting rods in the 1.1 engine making it over square but can I also use the 1.2 mpi intake manifold seeing that the one on my engine is plastic and the 1.2 mpi is aluminum if I'm not mistaken

Don't know if even an option to swap rods on your model, but if so it involves the crankshaft as well.
I have done that trick years ago on Fords to increase capacity in my case, but it does mean crank and con rods.:)

Probably best to get advice from the Seicento section as not my area of knowledge.
Generally performance is gained by more capacity, improving flow of gas through engine, so porting, cams, manifolds, exhaust, etc.
When you have got to the limits of that, then bigger injectors to put more fuel in and modifed ECU to get the max. benefit of your mods.
I am not sure if sporty cams are available for your engine these days, but others may be able to advise.:)
