General New member: Tjet to Abarth project

[Smoorebert]

Hey everyone,

I'm a new member located in Australia. I am working on a project of converting a TJet sport to an Abarth as we never received the Abarth Puntos in Aus. I have seen a few questions regarding a project like this and thought I would share my progress so far in case anyone has any questions regarding mods and replacement parts.

Mods so far:
Abarth 595 engine swap
Airtec FMIC
BMC Intake
Abarth 18inch esse esse wheels
Koni special active dampers
Eibach pro lowering springs
Brembo Brake big Brake kit
Abarth decals
Evo tail lights
Abarth evo kick trims

In progress:
Configuring Abarth Instrument Cluster after fitting
Sabelt seats in storage awaiting brackets to be fitted

Let me know ow what you think and I'd you ahce any questions about specific mods please let me know.

That's amazing, this is how I dream of having mine done. I think now you just need the actual Abarth GP bodykit, and it pretty much an Abarth . Great job.

Nice ride mate. Looks fantastic. The engine swap is the easiest way to go but idk what turbocharger does the 595 have.
Was your stock engine? a tjet120? I didn't know you got any fiats in AU!

The body kit are the hardest parts to get as there are none in Australia. They are rare as it is but even rarer to find with shipping to Australia. That is next on the list though.

It's running the standard IHI turbo for now. I'll be getting a custom GTX2554 installed on the near future once I have enough of the supporting mods (hence the larger FMIC). Need larger injectors, MAP sensor and oil pan first.

Australia got the Fiat 500, Punto, Panda and 124. The only Abarth models we got were the 595/695 and the 124. The stock engine was a TJet 120.
