Turbo Build Ep. 4: Starting the Bravo TJet Turbo Panda 100HP

After months of work, years of planning I finally attempt to start my project Fiat Panda 100HP with a Bravo 1.4 TJet turbo engine for the first time. All of the electrics seem to be at about 90%. There are still things that need to be sorted out but all in good time and there will be more videos to do with Abarth parts ;)
Hope you guys enjoy!

mi piacerebbe sapere più dettagliatamente come hai fatto con la ecu e l'impianto elettrico ? ( I would like to know in more detail how did you do with the ecu and the electrical system? )

[@davidelliott5843]

My 100HP had a fuel problem after a long lay off. I pulled every fuse and every relay but never found a fault. Later that day it just worked and has done ever since.

[@Pandamime]

Sometimes the injectors can get stuck. Giving them a little love tap gets them working. Or could have been the pump being stuck

[@mathewrobinson9399]

Gotten any further with this? I watch with great interest.

[@Pandamime]

Yes, I have a good few more videos lined up. Overall, the car is up and running. After that it's just things to make it a bit more reliable and fine tuned. However I cannot drive the car too much as it still needs to be made road worthy which is what I am currently working on

[@mathewrobinson9399]

Pandamime brilliant. I’ll look forward to it. Strongly considering doing a similar conversion to mine

wow!your smile is gold! when your turned the key and it starts!. I have a black Fiat panda 100hp, and love it! greetz from the netherlands! wil follow your project!

[@Pandamime]

I was just very surprised nothing blew up xD

[@chrispietersen804]

MIGHTY CAR MODS! LOL, hey Pandamime, just quick question on the wiring? Can you tell me why you decided to go with the 1.1 loom? Would the 100hp loom not suffice? Anyways, how sad that you had to strip apart all of your hard work again, sorry bout that man! That smile tho when it started! hahahahah, that's like prime footage right there ahahah

[@Pandamime]

I was going along with the idea of putting in both the bcu and ecu from the a500 so I was adapting the looms for all of that but there are massive amounts of things to consider and it's just a waste of time. Then I had found out that I can virginize a TJet ecu and use that but by that point my harnesses were just mash potatoes. I couldn't find anyone that would take out the wiring from a breaking 100hp so resorted to a 1.1/1.2 loom. Was hoping for 1.2 as they are 90% the same but again, couldn't get one. Finally someone had a 1.1 so there was a fair bit of adapting involved there too but as you can see, managed to get it running. Yes, you can use the 100hp original loom, you just need to adapt the ECU plug so that it uses the TJet ecu plug and that's essentially it. Thanks Chris :)

​@@Pandamimeso if you customize tjet ECU to fit into (in my case) Punto II plug it will run and connect to bcu and all that CAN shiut?
