Who has used Punto GT3 management on their Uno?

Thinking of buying a local low mileage PGT3 as parts for my Uno.

Is the PGT management a good move?

Liam

I'm going to go down that route with mine but I'm going to use gt1 ecu.

You need to talk to mark, he knows what to do. Also there are a few guys on the punto sports form that can help.

Ok cheers. Who's Mark?

Oops sorry St1allstar

Ok cheers.

its easy to install ,i have gt1 fitted on my uno ,get an ecu etc an ill show you whats what if you get stuck

Cheers dude. I now have the car and will be stripping it over the next couple of days.

Did you use the fueling and the ignition?

Liam

yes i used gt coil pack an injectors ,take all sensors of gt an the phase sensor ,i used all the pulley to an the bracket for the trigger sensor ,here a wiring diagram

Ta. That diagram is scary...

if the only reason to fit the punto gt engine is because of the ecu then dont bother everything that is needed to make the ecu work fits onto the mk1 block,


you said to start with you had a mk2 engine? is it a mk1 bottom end with mk2 head and cambox?

its always been a debate on which block is strongest but i know someone who has a punto gt producing 335bhp and 299lb ft torque with a gt3 block,

if your current engine is in good condition then just fit the ecu and all parts onto it,

i use punto gt flywheel and genuine valeo clutch

gt injectors fitted into mk1

intake pipe to fit air flow meter onto standard mk1 turbo, think i still have this somewhere

punto gt air intake temp sensor fitted into mk1 inlet

gt throttle position sensor fitted into mk1 inlet

wires need to be swopped round as throttle opens other way on the gt

my uno made 163bhp with a big hole in the intercooler using a seb0 chip, importantly it was not running lean

the gt ecu is a big step up from stock mk1 or mk2, pulls hard all the way to the 7400rpm limiter

punto gt centre driveshaft needs to be used to mount the alternator and waterpump from gt

coilpack is mounted on the end of camshaft where the distributor used to go, you need the mount from a 1.6 engine as on the gt it is mounted on the block

knock sensor is a straight fit,

phase sensor is a straight fit, needs to be aligned properly though

all gt pulleys need to be fitted and the plate which mounts the crank sensor, gt aux and cam belts, use mk1 tensioner

you need to fit gt cambelt covers to be able to time the cam pulley up, some gt pulleys are 180 degrees out

hope this helps all who are doing the pgt conversion

I want to use the best stock parts which is why I'm debating over PGT/Mk1UT block.

My current engine is Mk1 block with Mk2 crank and Mk2 everything else.

Is that 335bhp Punto on stock internals?

My engine is in good condition so I guess the best bet is as you say, PGT management, flywheel and clutch.

Thanks for the pics. Good photos always help.

no the 335bhp punto is gt3 block, forged rods, hayabusa pistons and 78mm crank so its stroked to a 1.6

I've been considering this conversion for a while and like collecting bits for a future project / mod

So the GT1 Ecu is the easiest one to go for as no imobiliser.

But later cars seem more common, any reason why you couldn't use all the bits (except Uno bottom end / head) from a GT3 car (sensors , inlet mani, Afm etc) but use the Ecu and engine loom from a GT1?

Or is that just complicating things?

Just i'd rather break a running car then buy an unknown pile of bits
