Panda tuning time

[Guest]

Well the warranty runs out on the panda early March and I have been researching some upgrades for the little 8V engine..I'm thinking punto 75 cam and 40mm throttle body and building my own induction kit for her..found a company who will make the hose as long as I can supply a tooling for it..not ***  by the way.. [and to me that no bother at all thats the easy bit] lol..

Dilemma I have is finding the 75 cam and finding a company who do the throttle body boring out ..could use Tricker I know but the currency exchange at the mo has put that one on hold ..anyone know of a good engineering company who do this kind of work..?

Zorst is already done and it has given me an increase in the torque band.. mandrel built by longlife and available through nuova 500 shop.. later on I have plans to fit the 4/2/1 manifold from the punto 75 and sort a sport cat at the same time..final part will be the mapping which also concerns me cos there are so many cowboys out there..

www.guy-croft.com probably the best as he used to be an engineer for the Ferrari F1 team. Fiat/alfa/lancia twin cam specialist as well. Got 74bhp out of Huws 1108 fire engine (without touching the cams or head).

Thanks for that Mrs Pint..will keep dear old Guy in mind for further reference ..I do look regularly on his site.. today I sorted the prototype induction kit for the panda ..one that doesn't become a tarmac hoover if it should rain like some that are around.. ..will start on the tooling very shortly [working off the prototype hose ]and then get it to a company I have found who will produce the one piece induction hose for me..I took the panda for a quick blast..10 miles in all to get her to relearn the fueling and for a prototype the results were nothing short of amazing considering it hasn't been mapped..
