Contrary to all the 'Fiat' remarks about being unreliable and blowing up, Coupe tuning has come a long way in the last couple of years. The top tuner in the UK, Barbz from Torque Italia, has build some amazing engines.
There are currently 3 Coupes running close to 600bhp in the UK. A 2l, 2.4l and 2.5l. The 2.4l and 2.5l makes the power with relatively low boost at 1.8bar. I wanted to keep the 2l platform as it's a shorter stroke engine and can run more boost. I'm currently running a Precision Turbo 6262 @ 2bar and it's deceptively quick.
All the engines in these 3 cars are fully forged, but the rest of the components are stock!! Mine is running stock cams, stock head gasket, stock head bolts, stock manifold, stock block etc.
It goes to show how good these engines actually are.
