fair play in that .

If you're looking for torque in the lower RPM range, as well as top-end power, it might be worth swapping the turbo for a supercharger - no lag, and boost at any RPM. Should work great on this engine, and not overly expensive, either. Check out Jonik's channel - he supercharged a 1.2l Punto, but the same principle applies to your car. th-cam.com/play/PLjv9Ckvex8O4vkEH0MeBFhz89MlPRSXAW.html

Cant remember if you already installed a reinforced main shaft but u will need it with all that (2 sexy) power. A mechanic advised me time ago on the fragility of og ones after i've breaked one on my ex 169 re-map 1.3mjt 4x4. Dont know if can fit but a nice solution would be put shaft and differential from a Fiat Sedici 4x4, is not so much longer than a panda and on that veichle was capable of full traction till 60/70 kmh!

Love it! Panda 4x4 outperforms CyberTruck easily on rough terrain LOL.

Great video!

Brilliant. You’re brave lads doing that trip 👍👍

Hey Aron, just seen one of the later episodes, rear axle up grade that’s got to be on the cards as the one of the next crazy modifications. Great project and looking forward to seeing you around,

I’m not sure the bump stops are really necessary and it will restrict the wheel articulation.

I love your panda, couldn’t get a 4x4 panda, so bought a 1.3 diesel and love it

Its a real shame that Fiat tends to destroy all the good things that does…instead theybprefer to follow Stellantis in their self destructing path.

Great videos!!! Lovely car

La colonna sonora di Toy Story uno dei cartoni più belli 😂😂😂😂

Dai perdo daiiiiiiii!!!!!! Ora alzati e cammina 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Piccolo demonio italiano 🇮🇹😍

Lo vorrei montare sulla Panda di mio padre visto che nn ha ELD, come ti trovi con il prometeo?

Amore a prima vista 😍

Panda piccolo mostro !!! Io ho sia il vecchio modello tutta modificata che la uso x andare a caccia visto che vivo nelle montagne, e la seconda serie !!! Macchine diverse ma tt due bestiali 👍🏻😉piccoli capolavori italiani 😉

On the engine mount, you need to put a 12mm shim under the rubber section as the whole mount needs to move up. As it is, the rubber is pulling onto the body. Also, the nylocs need to be on the mount on the body, not the engine. Cool build though.

Always dreamed of a panda 4x4 or Fiorino with a 1.4 T-jet. Sleeper things.

Awesome dude, best of luck. Cant wait

Just seen this, really interested in this. I am hoping to do an upgrade on my 4x4 . I most of last year restoring it. Already done a few mods , engine this year

A simple alcool based defrost liquid would have been: - more quicker - more effective - prevented re-frost - more safe for glass integrity .... it is not a smart solution using gas.

Going to be awesome

Swapping it out for a tjet is technically easier however given the driving characteristics you are probably going to be after it's not going to be what you want in how it delivers the power. Might want to consider a modified mjet to give you the lower end range and torque. Won't be much more difficult than a tjet (Mechanically easier, wiring.... There may be challanges.)

Small caveat about the power difference of your 135hp engine and 150hp engine! Both engines from their respective cars are slightly different. The Abarth uses the vl37 ihi turbo and the cams are slightly different compared to the Bravo engine! The Bravo uses the vl36 turbo if I am not mistaken. Some slight differences so you will definitely need to dial in the ECU specifically for your engine setup. On a side note, given that your head was shafted on the A500 TJet, it is a good excuse to throw on the 100HP head (cams mainly). They are slightly more aggressive vs the TJet cams ;)

Can you still have air conditioning after a T-Jet swap? Btw i owned a Bravo Sport and the best mod for that 150 hp T-Jet was a Celtic map. Took it from 150 to a 180, but it completely changes the character of the engine. Stock map will stop pulling at 5,5k rpm and really after 5 it's already dead. Celtic map (or any tune really) will make it sing and pull HARD to 6, that's what gives you more power. Remember, it's torque that kills engines, gearboxes and differentials, not power. Really doesnt matter if you have the stock 135hp, 150hp, or 180hp tune, you are still gonna make basically the same (about 250nm) at lower revs. The Bravo was a quick car with even the stock tuned 150hp t-jet, the Panda i bet will be insane with the same amount of power but 25% less weight 😂.

don't you already have a 100BHP engine swapped in? This could be overkill!! BUT entertaining for a TH-cam channel

Very usefull information, thanks very much! With that wiring harness adapter, is it possible to make a conversion on a stock 1.2 Panda 4x4 that has the interior loom of the 1.2 4x4 and not the 100HP?

why didnt you replace valves and refresh the head? buying an old engine is buying unknown. huge power losses are due to poor valve seal, which youd need to address if you were refurbing the head...

Everyone loves Pedro ❤

PanDAKAR 😀

Dont swap engine. Rebuild yours and put a turbo on it. Stock turbo, just lower the compression with bigger head gasket

Umm yes!

You do what I will do.. if I had Your opportunities. Fingers crossed!

I believe the 1.4 tjet conversion will be easier in a 312 panda than for yours 169.. also it will be better for reliability on a Diesel panda 90hp as those came with the C510 gearbox rated at 200NM of torque which is roughly the torque of your 135hp abarth engine.

Brilliant video! Thanks for documenting so much technical info. Its really helpful. Also, with a full Abarth car you can swat seats and badges!

Same thing happened to me with my 100hp… cambelt snapped 2weeks after i bought it. All I did was buy a decoke kit and had an engineer rebuild the head with new valves. 40k km later and it’s still running perfectly…

Was this before the prometeo machina mod or after? Or due too?

an amazing amount of work. Thanks for documenting it all with the links. Makes Pedro un 4x4 único in the world. so much work though for the average Joe. I think I'd go for the 20mm and slightly bigger tyres/wheels due to budget and the fact that in Spain, tyre size above +3% or lift above 3cm requires an engineer's report to get it through an MOT (ITV Spain). The UK is far more 'backward' in that sense, which is great news for 4x4 lovers!!😄

Loved your Spain series. Really wish we could've met up. I added a link to your channel and a couple of video clips in this Panda 4x4 Review and Interview with the owner in Spanish Just published yesterday. I've added English subtitles (the auto ones were crap!). Here you go. th-cam.com/video/WMNfGH_zFew/w-d-xo.html

Where can I order?

Go pedro,,panda power

Yeah move that thing quick because I tell you what you'll get a crack if you don't😮

The quickest? Dude nearly needed the whole day... Much quicker and safer ways. Your glass damaged for sure.

Or just pour room temperature water on the windows?? Works alot faster too 😂

A few kettles of tepid water does the trick.

I just use the car manual at a horizontal angle it is by far much quicker and less likely to cause a cracked window!

Very risky 😂
