Fiat coupe 20vt
Fiat coupe 20vt
I got this back in May been collecting bits for it.......main dealer items the timing belt has gone
One owner from new
Totally std
66k on the clock with history but belt change
Just had a spare head skimmed reseated the valves
Alloys will be back from refurb next week
The plan for it is black leather already had it, replace rear brakes, paint calipers red, replace exhaust as tail pipe is missing.
Engine will be getting new big end shells, refurb'do cylinder head, timing belt kit, aux belts with all pulleys, water pump and full service.
Get the few small dents and paint sort

Re: Fiat coupe 20vt
Sounds like a nicely sorted motor.
Do you plan to keep for a while or move straight on ?

Re: Fiat coupe 20vt
I had a few hours down the workshop yesterday morning got the head off the plastic tensioner had broken up and was in the timing belt cover.
Had to look after the kids in the afternoon so I rebuilt the cylinder head swapping over studs, cams, inlet manifold with injectors and new water pump then timed it up with cam locks
The exhaust manifold has a crack in it so will weld it for now as the spare one is 90 miles away in storage

Re: Fiat coupe 20vt
the 20VT's are buggers for cracking manifolds as i'm sure you're aware. I too welded mine up for the 145 conversion, as far as I know it's still on there so they can last a while after welding..

Re: Fiat coupe 20vt
I've spent the morning down the workshop cleaned the front if the engine, fitted new auxiliary idlers/tensioners, timing belt kit, silcone hose of death, cylinder head, cam cover, coil packs and inlet manifold.
Re: Fiat coupe 20vt
Had 3 hours down the workshop welded the manifold, put auxiliary belts on, bolted engine back in on it's mounts, fitted turbo, clear side repeaters, bailey dump valve and bolted small bits on.

Re: Fiat coupe 20vt
Well finished putting it back together on Monday morning but has the keycode light on tried all the normal tricks to clear it but still on.
I've sent my spare ecu off to have it set to a Virgin ecu as I've lost the chip for it
So hoping to have it back for the weekend
