My New Puma Project

[hirsty_5]

ive just fetched my new puma (2nd one) going take some work but while looking under the bonnet ive seen a "pumabuilt sticker" on the the silver rocker cover is there any ways i can find out if at some point in its life it has been rebuilt by puma build

 

[Neil]

Give them a ring?

PumaBodge do sell their stickers online as well - it may be something as simple as the last owner putting it on there themselves.

I should imagine they just serviced it or changed the cambelt at some point (which might be usefull info) rather than rebuilt it

I wouldn't like to see the bill if they did rebuild it

Don't listen to Neil... lol, we all have our views on PumaBuild, I for one do like them but yes, sometimes their prices can be a bit... flamboiant.

There are a few ways to tune the 1.7 Puma... you can tune to 290bhp but with some drastic modifications.
You can turbocharge it, supercharge it, add Nitrous or add ITB's for a few ideas, or swap the engine.

 

[hirsty_5]

i see will is there any engine which is worth swapping too but one that you dont have to change the engine mounts (nothing to major

 

[Flying Scotsman]

with any engine change youll be looking to change the engine mounts

Dude.... if it were that easy everyone would have one..... I know of a place that will do two kits. 1st @ £3500 exc mapping 2nd @ £5250 exc mapping.

Or you could do the research and build your own.

haha true true next question is; how hard is it to fit a fiesta st engine into my puma :grin:

 

[Dannyeff]

why the fiesta st and not the st170? from the focus

 

[Flying Scotsman]

May i ask whats wrong with the puma engine... lol

 

[Dannyeff]

good point ... mind you what would you rather 150 or 125? ... or a few mods to get it upto 155.

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Well mines a puma engine and its at about 150 now... and going up to 200 in a few months...
