Technical Punto MK2 simple but effective engine modification ideas needed please.

Slight overstatement lol

The plastic throat under the throttle body is stripped back to the green seal and straight through (as much as possible but only comes in 3 parts) to the other end. The throttole body itself has a cone duct (65mm) fiited to the body with a 80mm honda civic type R induction hose and a reducer http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k274/P0EN1X/CivicNeck.jpg
(80 to 65 originally but curved out with a stanly blade at the rear of the neck to be able to fit the retainer ring in place) Under extreme exceleration the tubing rises so needed to build a braket (halfords exhaust bracket £2.79) to secure in place using the battery clamp bolt.

Hope this helps in clearing up what i meant, just though it would be easier to say bored out than say all this lol but its a lot easier to get a picture if i do explain myself properly,
My bad

Quick few things if anyone can help

1. Will i loose any protection if i paint the manifold heat shield red too ?
2. Do i need to mask anything off when cleaning and painting the clapers and drums (never painted them before)

Cheers

The red pipes connect to the pin beside the throttle body the otther is just a hose for show (had some spare what else to do with it)

The forced air is only ever forced when im driving as the filter sits on the end gap at the top of the bumper (theres only 20mm between the end of the filer and the bumper) so air is forced into the filter the faster you go(theoreticly)

Man im taking over this thread, sorry :idea:

anyone else got any more engine mods to increase performance of the 1.2 8v?

Also with regards to Fiat-Pheonix, is that the best place for the induction kit to go as doesn't the GSR kit go to the side in the wing as this is the coldest place or am i mistaken? Are GSR kits simple enough to fit aswell?

Cheers guys,:worship:

Head work
Re-profiled cams
Re-maps
Exhaust
Lightened valve train.

The best place is as low down as possible, but in the right position to prevent water suction and decreasing air pressure. You can fit it yourself, but it is very tight and you might use certain words due to frustration till you have placed it right.

the crank case pipe will fit better when the right conectors are in stock. its law now that crank case must be vented back into the induction
