oh by the way im curtis im 22 and from kent

that's a tight fit for a 20vt lump

Now THAT is what we needed at Ten of the Best to compete against the Vauxhall and Honda boys in a straight line

Nismo's right - wouldn't want to drop a nut or bolt down the front of there....

What Turbo would you guys recommend for 350bhp, I've heard fcp turbos are very good?

yes www.fcperformance.co.uk has a good selection of turbos for the 20vt and best place to get the car remapped when you have finished with the upgrades or a gt28rs or rsr will get you into the 350bhp mark with supporting mods .

Awesome mate thank you for the advice I think that's is where I'll be going
! When looking on the Internet many people say use 10/40 is that correct?

I use 10w60 fully synthetic oil in mine and have done for a few years now .

Depends on the mileage - like Nismo, I also use 10W60, but my engine has done a lot of miles. 10W40 is OK for engines with a healthy oil pressure when hot (eg over 2 bar)

Cool thank you, when really warm engine runs just under 2 bar sometimes after a hard drive.

I've got a gt2560r with a billet compressor wheel would this be any good for this car? Forge actuator all ceramic coated etc

Cool thank you, when really warm engine runs just under 2 bar sometimes after a hard drive.

Leighton (from FC performance) would be best to answer that question, but from my own experience, that turbo feels a bit small for your power ambitions

Curtig, welcome along, have you just bought this car? It was causing a stir on FB. looks really nice.

22!!!!!!!

I feel old

Thank you guys for advice and welcome! I feel old at 22! I'm definitely going to go with a fc performance turbo now no adaptions straight swap etc! Yes the car was a good friends of mines dad he spent 4 years doing the conversion and now has other plans love puntos lol I also have another punto gt in project which is on the punto forum curtig 280bhp 1.4 incase any of you are on there you can view it.

Oh guys squeakey brakes mine are terrible, what's the secret with Brembos lol

Hi and welcome Curtig

Turn the music up or brake harder....

What discs and pads are you running?

If it was me mate I reckon 350bhp is pushing it with standard internals .

id be happy with 220bhp in the punto :D, power to weight would be a killing machine

just wondering has anyone tried one of these ? hybrid internals for standard coupe turbo with billet compressor wheel. it interests me as the tubros are the right size for 270bhp+ so its the internals which are upgraded.

Those cars look great Curtig. :-)

thank you bruce01 lol

Awesome Curtis

Thanks , believe it or not the cam belt is really easy to do lol I I have more pictures but it takes me ages to get them on here. If you want me to send them to you over facebook I'll be more than happy

Email what you have with a brief history and I'll start a thread on FB, it might not be Coupé but it's running with the heart from one so that's ok by me

Blimey! Bet that shifts!

Did you get my email? Fitted the gearbox seal today, missed the old girl drives really nice waiting for a call back from fcp performance
