Turbo-Charging F.I.R.E Engine.

[The Riddler]

Hi guys,

I owned a Seicento 6 or 7 years ago when i passed my test, i'm now back in the market for something cheap and cheerful, and would have another Seicento in a heartbeat. I have been trying to find info regarding turboing the F.I.R.E engine, but apart from site wer ppl talk lyk dis, i cannot find much, so does anyone have any experience or useful links?

Also, is it worth swapping to the 1242cc Punto engine before starting any major work? I plan to turn it into a little weapon at some point, a fun little track toy.

Probably best to sign up to the Fiat Forum, turbo-charging the Cinq and Sei is a relatively common upgrade. Van Aken used to fit turbo conversions to these, you might be able to pick up an already converted car if you are lucky.

Yeah, i heard of the Van Aken conversion when i had my first, but been only 18 it wasnt worth the risk or extra insurance money..

I'll register on the fiat board over the weekend and have a nosy, Thanks.

Anyone else with experience?
