    300hp is just the beginning on these engines.
    4-500hp has been done.

    I had a 20vT back in the day and loved it...and the stock 220hp felt quick....this will be a rocket ship. Just need to be careful going 'round corners as it's still a Tipo underneath!

    All good but i dont get how increasing the power will add anymore strain on the timing belt. Unless you replace the valve springs with a stronger ones, the torque required to turn the camshafts its basically the same. The thing that will def see more strain is the clutch

    • @CarLos-yi7ne

      Well, the belt was just outdated: normal maintainance.

    Using the OE side mount intercooler won’t yield that power for long, as it will suffer heat soak.
    Which in turn leads to higher cylinder temps, no apparent mention of the fuel pump wiring mod.
    On a hot summers day when being pushed will probably lead to det, and the end of that car, never mind the MOT that missed a whole bunch of corrosion.

    There was loads of fiat coupes with way more power than this back in the day.
    These cars can handle the extra power reliably well.

  • @davidstuart4915

    these were routinely tuned over 300bhp back in the day and turbo swaps over 400bhp with std internals and tranny

      Mine made over 342bhp in 2009, 416bhp in 2014 and just made 448bhp in July. Plans for well over 500bhp in the next year or two 👍🏻

      Whilst I agree about the 300 hp statement, sticking with the crappy side mount intercooler won’t make this one reliable long term.

    @michaelhartman851 Рік тому +1

    The torque number is the most impressive, you need to realize most turbo 4 cylinders like Hondas that make that kind of power would be under or around 200 lbft of torque which is why they are so slow off the line then start to scream as rpms rise.

      Really ? I've been lucky enough to own Porsches, Corvettes and various Honda V tecs, and I've always had Fiats as working machines, always treated like mules. With some I have traveled more than 400,000 km without ever having problems, both petrol and diesel. Now I bought myself a 16V turbo fiat coupe with over 300hp as a Thrack day car.
      If by chance it breaks I will let you know. Let's not trust Fiat so much... 👋
