2010 Fiat Punto Evo Turbo
1.4 Multiair Turbo
1 of 22 puntos ever produced with this engine in 3 door version (originally bought in Switzerland, same price and spec as Abarth Punto, but I prefered the low-key, less boyracey look of this compared to the Abarth). Has full leather dash and alcantara headliner compared to full black carpet in Abarth.
~ 200 hp / 330 nm
Garrett GT1446 Turbo, 1,6 bar / 23.2 psi, upsized intercooler, K&N intake, remap
(tiny little turbo dies at the top end, so I prefer to run it at 1,5-1,6 bar, otherwise the powercurve drops drastically after 5600-5700 rpm). It can keep lower max boost until 6200-6400. Call me a puss*, but I use this car 90 % in town, and I don’t want to go big turbo, because I enjoy the low end torque, and not having to wait for boost build up. With the current setup I have max torque all the way between 1950-5300 rpm.
Btw I NEVER race this car. Mostly show car, and weekend car, just for crusing, occassional enthusiastic driving.
200 cell-cat, fully open exhaust, no mufflers
300 / 260 mm vented, drilled disks, 2 piston calippers.
8x18 ET35 wheels all around with 205/40 tires. 8,5-9,5 wheels to be fitted soon.
Fully adjustable suspension, bushings, upgraded sway bars, slight camber,
Mostly stock body, Lester rear diffuser, Maxton design front skirt. Stock side skirts and subtle roof spoiler
Every option ever available in a Punto, double sunroof, 9 speaker high-end stereo, etc etc.
Comments
Jesus that sounds good! o.O
Wow, so clean but so mean! Very nice work there mate!
How does it pass the emission tests?😂
But really hot ride bro!
200 cell cat, emissions hasn’t gotten any worse
Niiice, how much did it cost?
23.000 Euro when new, now worth around 10.000? Not really keen on selling it, few people would buy something like this when you can get an E46 330i for the same price..
Awesome car!
This is just the business
sweet ride bro. i always love Punto. I still remember the first time I saw the old HGT.
btw, how reliable is your car?
Not being a fanboy or anything, but I really cannot say anything bad about modern(!!!) Fiats, or italian cars in general.
Engine is bulletproof, you can go up to around 300-350 hp just with bolt-ons. Turbo, clutch, transmission have to changed of course but the block can take a lot of pressure. Electronics are from Bosch which is funny since everyone makes fun of italian cars being unreliable. (at the same time some german cars use Magnetti Marelli electronics :D)
Only thing to look out for is oil!!!! Always change it and the oil filter every 5 - 10.000 kms / 3 - 6.000 miles!! The complicated multiair intake can get stuck open when engine isn’t cooled down properly after heavy use. Costs ~1.000 Euros to replace.
Other than that my cars windscreen washer cable is leaking somewhere, but I couldn’t care less about since I don’t use the car in bad weather, and I clean the whole windscreen at petrol stations if needed :)
Really beautiful
Nice ride man
how fast?
Don’t really care too much about it, because only the old 5 speed gearbox can handle the torque, and it’s a wobbly old gearbox, you cannot really rush it. 0-100 kmh is around 7 seconds, top speed, gear limited 225 kmh
