oooooooooo nice spec list, what you recon 200bhpish if not alot more lol

i had a friend with a gt3 with 190ish and that went like stink would love to see this on the rollers, would certainly have to make sure it was strapped down lol

Cheers mate not sure on power really as i think the fueling is right out as its still on standard turbo so should only really run upto 170-180max but should be alot quicker with the t25 200hp+ safely hopefully

the t25 and 315cc's are all thats really needed to see 200 easy as you have everything else lol god i love the PGT's lol i would love to have one but i know i would end up with it wide arched and a 20vt under the hood lol

yea i know mate...yea you should do a nice 20v turbo one though lol

dont give me ideas lol cos i am already on the verge of selling the beema and getting a mk1 punto lol

go for it lol would be very very fun at the least

Really good buy by the looks of it good spec looks great the bumper and grill suite it really nicely suspension sits perfect

Nice one mate looks really well lovin the front bumper

cheers boys i like the mean look, people gona look and go wtf is that lol

They certainly are you'll have to change your name too no sporting now

Yea I know...what should I call myself though?

aaahh mate thats stunning! love it! and a great spec list too

colour is rare dont think ive seen one that colour for ages

thanks

Jason

Cheers Jason now contemplating on what is better for performance and low cost my future plans list or a map???

well the bigger turbo and injectors will give you alot more than any map on the current setup, that is if the GT ECU can be mapped at all??? or is its chip only?
Either way you wouldn't regret the turbo upgrade. There are however better turbo's available now that would be far better for the GT for example my GT1752 turbo has a bigger compressor and wheel with a smaller turbine making it spin up alot quicker than the T25 while flowing more air making more power too which equals a quicker road car if fitted to the GT against a T25 GT Punto, although there may be even smarter choices for your engine.

I always feel the T25 was made for slightly larger engines than our smaller capacity, you get good power but i can imagine the lag would be a little annoying.
You should bring it along to Noble's with us soon before you go further to see where its at and if its all healthy then go from there?

Thanks

puntosporting2000 Yea I know...what should I call myself though?

Hows about Punto GT (Turbo) just a suggestion

the ecu is a removable chip and if i remember right the seb4.11 is the best and there anit a better one, if it does have seb4.11 then it has been set-up to run a t25 or similar so it will actually be running bad at the mo on a stock turbo

Right checked the ecu defo a seb4.11 inside so need the upgrade to the t25 really also car hasnt sold so very very very f***in pissed if i turn my boost up would this help the air to fuel ??????

the problem with just turning the boost up you start to over work the turbo and your inlet temps might start to creep up as the turbo is working alot harder thus heating up alot more safe bet would be to meet me somewhere and get the standard PGT ecu i have lying around and see if it runs better on the stock chip and then once you get a T25 slot that on and put the seb4.11 ecu back on

could do mate but my t25 is being worked on at the moment...would the standard ecu you have work on mine?

I personally wouldn't go swapping anything around without visiting a rolling road for a check that the fueling is okay in doing so, especially swapping ECU's and what not

Better safe then sorry......piston's work better without holes haha

Jason

looks pretty tidy that man, i think the plate does it for me HAAAAAA

hahahahaha very true jay, unfortinatly my knowledge on the GT engine is limited as i never got as far as running one just the setting up fase when i was going to stick one in me cinq, your running forged internals and if you have got you T25 on way then i would say just drive it very carefully until its ready, then stick the T25 on and pop along to a RR and get it checked to see how its running and get it set-up accordingly just to be safe

cheers boys i will do, and thanks for the comments too...i like the haa aswell, yea defo need to go to a rolling road mate to get it setup...the tubby is at 17psi at the moment so surely if i was to run around 20psi it would help the ratio of fuel to air??? I know its no good for the turbo and engine etc etc but its not going to be running that for long just until the 25 goes on so would that not help at all???
