Abarth 124 Spider QV Swap and Built Engine Updates

[@richard0707]

What's the status on this engine swap project?

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

We got our hands on the timing plate and we’re moving forward. They’re is a post in the community section with more info as well as on Instagram. Thanks for watching.

[@Skulljeep00]

Still nothin posted on it?

[@RadDadisRad]

YES!!! I’ve been waiting, and not patiently.

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

Leland Holton me too lol

[@jord9261]

Leland Holton patently???

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

What you should do is a V8 from the Maserati coupe that came with the manual transmission

[@DrDD-pw8wn]

The hardtop is incredible, it just enhances the lines of the car. Real sleek.

[@TheGlant]

You blokes would be great to hang out with, this vid showed the true fellas behind p&p.. very natural vid...great to see.

[@Captivateitmedia]

Noticed you added the original carbon hard top, but you didn’t point out or leave a link to where you got/bought it from, can you help us fiat owners out with the details to get one as well, and cost associated? Thanks

[@Captivateitmedia]

Seems you have the REAL carbon hardtop for your fiat... how did you obtain one? As I heard it can only be purchased from Italy... what was the cost and above all. Shipping it to Canada. I’m in Ontario, so a little closer to ship to I’m hoping. Cheers and keep up the great vids

[@finyoung1261]

Would you possibly be able to squeeze a maserati 4.2 or 4.7 v8 into one of those, I thought it would be a fitting host

[@davidpaulin]

@10:04 Overall shape of the car reminds me of a FD rx7. Pure sexyness

[@tommyd237]

I’m kinda liking the hard top. What do you think about making it body colored? It may give the car a larger appearance... maybe? Great videos, keep up the good work, looking forward to more 👍🏼 Good luck 🍀

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

Thanks! I think I would like it a lot better body coloured. The car is going into the body shop next week to clean up a hitch mark from a blind pickup driver. I’m thinking of having them paint it while it’s there.

[@SlumRacing]

I have a giulia qv in texas, I'm south african. This guys sounds south african. I'll send my car to him when things are ready

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

Slumdog214 yes he is. He's also brilliant and loves his Alfa's

[@mrl9337]

Is that the DG Motor sport hardtop?

[@bradmuller903]

You got sidetracked with the Fiat Dino and never got to talk about the Lancia Delta, such a shame, or "for shame" for Saffa John.

[@kidoctane]

Hey, did l pick up on an underlying Aussie ascent from John (Group 2) ??

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

Joseph A his accent is South African

[@kidoctane]

@@PistonsAndPetrol Of course ...... Thanks it was bugging me

[@divace73]

great work, really enjoyed this video, spotted the fiat dino straight away

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

Thank for watching! Group 2 has some fantastic projects on the go.

[@verrinne1]

Ive been wanting to go by group 2, ill have to do thar soon

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

verrinne you should. It’s a rad shop.

[@verrinne1]

@@PistonsAndPetrol once i get my 1st gen escort running hopefully this week i will

[@id744]

I just saw on your insta that it is a DG top. Sorry to hear you dont really care for it. Looks fantastic.

[@patrickbateman9887]

@Pistons & Petrol Does the hard top reduce the cowl shake?

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

I was so irritated with the excess road and wind noise from it that I never noticed. I took it off and put it aside for now.

[@7hatsunemiku6]

i came solely for the abarth and its not shown driving i cry

[@ChiaRC]

Woot update

[@Eyepatchfilms]

Headroom more or less with the hardtop? My head already touches the soft top

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

There’s a bit more room for sure.

[@Eyepatchfilms]

@@PistonsAndPetrol That's awesome. Thank you!

[@bdi3798]

@11:40 is why this swap isn't gonna get anywhere - engines can't run on hot air alone.

[@nikolac290v7]

Come mai non pubblichi piú niente da 2 mesi ?

[@UmmmmRamos]

I’m so confused as to why you keep on working on that engine... arent you swapping it regardless? Save the headache and the money and just do the swap no?

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

UmmmmRamos just to kill time. I want to get the 1.4 out of my system before we start the good stuff.

[@UmmmmRamos]

Pistons & Petrol I’m interested in getting a 124 Abarth but after watching your vids I’m kinda scared for the Multiair engine... I actually have a Multiair engine in my Dodge Dart and haven’t had issues, then again it’s stock, for the 124 I’d be happy with 220-250 whp. Do you think that can be achieved reliably?

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

UmmmmRamos it’s possible. That’s exactly what my last 124 was an example of. 247 whp, ran great. My 500T was great as well. 260 whp. They can do it. That said, lemons obviously happen. 🤣

[@UmmmmRamos]

Pistons & Petrol oh so yours was just a lemon. Just the luck of the draw I guess I hope I’m a lucky one

[@SlumRacing]

My dad owned the 1986 gtv6 3.0 made only in south africa

[@mario20033]

So this project died before it even started like most of the projects do?

[@mgamma5001]

Dude is that the Stock GT carbon fiber top?.... Sweetness!

[@furtivedig]

abarth 595 and 695 come without multiair in Europe...perhaps get one of those heads and say goodbye to headaches ;)

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

furtivedig that’s definitely in pipe

[@furtivedig]

@@PistonsAndPetrol NICE!! the peeps at abarth pushed the 695 engine considerably. I have a feeling they knew what they were doing when they chose the multijet over the new arguably more advanced heads. I ll be tuned

[@johnserrano2774]

Who makes the hardtop?

[@XoXDanteXoX]

Very very nice job! 👋 from Italy 😊

[@rafaelangeloterorodriguez6404]

Para cuando en pista para ver los tiempos del abarth

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

rafaelangel otero rodriguez as soon as it’s done we’re hitting the track. I’m very eager 👍🤣

[@PinaGt001]

Im sad, didnt see the lancia integrale... 😐

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

Pina GT my camera died to quickly but I’m heading back there very soon with more cinematic intentions.

[@tyhumann826]

Valley crew???🤔

[@shaniranikauboj]

So 2.9 in QV can go stock to 700hp... Whooa.

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

Shanirani Kauboj my intake manifolds are ported and polished and I have modified turbos for aim for 700

[@josephandreuccetti8043]

Why on earth doesnt the alfa come with a manual in the united states

[@kaiwenli3432]

emmm why don’t you just get a stage 2 cam then

[@PistonsAndPetrol]

K Li never try aftermarket parts when you’re not 100% of the fix.

[@philipsalazar8428]

I think it’s a click bait no qv swap just 124 spiders with bigger turbo

[@donwarner6925]

Anything deeper than a 9...
