hello and greetings from norway!

i just bought my first coupe yesterday and was wondering what light tuning i could do to this car? was thinking chip,and upping the turbo boost, what is the turbo pressure on a stock engine?

i bought a coupe and got a second car with it for parts:)

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Forum.

I've kept mine standard, but then, I'm an "old fart".

Where in Norway are you located? I spent 6 weeks in your beautiful country in 2000 and that is where I saw my first Coupe, albeit a 1.8 16v, in the Oslo Fiat dealership.

You will get lots of useful information and help on this Forum.

Hi Krish,
Welcome to 16vt ownership.
Look after it, they are getting rarer.
Look at the '16vt knowledge' thread. Maybe contact FC performance. Post queries on the forum. All of the knowledge is here.

thank you!
i'm living in Molde, it is north west of oslo, a 6 hour drive::)

got some more questions, i was browsing the knowledge thread, there was mention an EVO chip, but i cant find a place to buy!

and i have asked fc performance but they are not answering:/ how is it to chip these? do i have to send my ECU in? since i live in norway these cars are rare.

i also is in need of a good boost controller and a new dump valve, but i cant find any sites that sells them..

thanks for answering and sorry for bad english:/

Your English is great, probably better than mine anyway. Evocars chip is not fantastic. I have one and a dink chip in my glove box, ran them both for a while. I may be wrong but i dont think evocars are still producing the chip and havent for some time. FC performance will remap your own ECU as will others. They can do it remotely, one UK tuner even flew to Norway to do someone's old lancia running a lampredi.
FC performance are very busy at the moment. He tunes alot of other cars these days ford cosworth and the like. Try the FC performance Facebook page. I think that's where most people get hold of him.
My 16vt is in there at the moment.
The greddy profec b spec 2 boost controller is the way to go or similar. Some like the manual ones but for ultimate tweaking. The electronic boost control is the way to go, try e bay. You should be able to pick up a cheap 2nd hand unit and install yourself.they are common place in the Japanese tuning scene.
Dump valve, if you want a steel one then bailey dv26 maybe???? (It's been a while since I bought and installed mine)

More importantly, check the condition of the turbo, install a boost gauge and make sure all is running well before delving too deep into the mods.

What's you budget for mods?

then i will look for the boost controller:) the car has not been running for 3 years, so it feels a little slow:/ a renault megane flew past me, and i couldnt drive past him.. lol xD

but tomorrow i will do a motorflush, check the dump valve, clean airfilters and such.

thanks for answering!:)

i do what it takes, but i want only light mods.. aka chip, exhaust,boost controller and such.

even my audi b8 1.8 tfsi with chip is MUCH quicker right now:/

I would start with fuel pump upgrade + wiring mod, FMIC, combo camshafts( Coupe NA Intake Camshaft and Coupe 16VT Intake Camshaft installed as Exhaust Camshaft), 3" Exaust. You don't need to spend money for aftermarket boost controller if the pierburg is working fine. Your car ECU can be remaped with it and you can gain 250-260hp with those mods.

thanks😀 i also found a chip i think,lying in my car, i dont know what it is but it says kh b9306 nm27c256q150

anyone know what that is?

Hi Krish, apologies for the delay, I have been in Germany this last week tuning cars. I think I have answered you on Facebook, but please let me know if I have missed your contact.

before start with tuning works ,be sure your car is fine
first check the bearings in the bottom end of the engine
this engine suffer of bearings and cambelt failure
so second do a cambelt change, third the oil
10w 60

and after a proper chip tuning,exhaust and free flow filter
and you will have real 250cv

Hi, got a 94' 16vt in Oslo😉

If it's not been running for 3 years definitely get it serviced to make sure it's running at its best. Then it will be ready for the light modification, although you may find a reasonable performance increase from changing all the filters, oil, spark plugs etc
