Built 1.7L Piccolina 1.0.4.1

The 1.5's slightly bigger but much badder cousin

    So, you think the 1.5 is too weak and doesn't rev out high enough, eh? Now introducing the Autobello 1.7L F4. This engine is the product of your uncle Jim spending long nights in the garage neglecting the family, trying to squeeze as much power out of the 1.5 block as he could. And after much trial and error with a side of re-making parts, he's done it.

    STOCK BLOCK:
    Single Carb:


    Dual Carb:


    Dual Race Carb:


    Blow-through Turbo (10PSI):


    STAGE 1 BLOCK:
    Single Carb:


    Dual Carb:


    Dual Race Carb:


    Blow-through Turbo (10PSI):




    NOTE: You will have to watch temps, just as you would with the stock engines.

    good engine for a race piccolina car . the only one issue is when you throttle a lot to long you damage the pistons and lose power. can you fix that ?

      Actually started working on a fix almost immediately after I uploaded this (aka when I noticed the issue), and I'm currently running it through its paces to make sure that it doesn't immediately destroy itself while also making it like stock engines in the sense that you still have to watch temps when you're pushing it.
