The engine of choice

I have narrowed it down to 3 engines to use in the Cinq

MR2 (Turbo and Non-Turbo)

or an MGF


I will buy a whole car and use the parts I need and then sell the rest.

What engine should I use and why?

I think the turbo maybe to much for the cinq....

K series is far more tunable, and far cheaper for parts when you break it. Which you will.

MR2 turbo/Celica GT4 engine but unless you pay 2k for the car you will more than likely end up with a dog so l would give the turbo engine a miss unless you rebuild it. Rev 1-2 220bhp and rev 3-5 is 240bhp. Would be stupid fast though a standard rev 3-5 turbo is 5.2 seconds to 60mph.

Non turbo wont go wrong and could pic a shabby rev 1 up from £600 with 158 bhp. (Rev 3-5 173bhp) Also some of the celica's use the 3SGE motor.

Aint got a clue about the rover engine.

Ill be keeping an eye on you and stu if l see you hanging around the back of my car the weekend lol.

what about a bike engine?

light weight and rev range is great

No because then he'd be copying me

Cos id be getting dead arms all day

Still won't be able to keep up with me though

weight is a factor

(as i sit here munching cheese and ham sandwhich)

however it is healthy because cheese is from milk, which gives you calcium and its on wholemeal bread which isnt bad for you at all

ok 2 bike engines

why not stick with fiat? uno turbo engine?

fix
it
again
tomorrow


id rather not.

decided due to cost factor - MGF

ok but K series can be had from any number of other poopoo cars. got 2 volvo turbo engines sitting here that'd do better 170bhp out the box, and yours for the princely sum of £300

use the disco, just do what Stu did at mallory...drive it bits start falling off and breaking all by themselves

I can't believe what he's actually gone for btw!

I got an MGF for the price of a turbo......

I got the whole car for practically £180

All the suspension is there in the right place (rear)

oh so you know what a track looks like at least

mgf engine may be ok as elises had them , but make sure it has the romote thermostat as thats why the k sereies had overheating problems .

although cooling wont be a prob in rear of cinqucento.

fixed your sig for you by the way

Fi-G 1.8cento
