Fiat 1.4 Turbo Stg 1.5 Engine

NOTE: What your application is, and model year. Example 2016 Spider 124. Put this inside the comments section or email us if you forgot. With the age of the Fiat 1.4 turbo engine we are seeing a demand for engines. heads, and performance applications and we have decided its best to put an engine together, that addresses the failure points of the 1.4 design. So, lets address those. Failure number 1: Valve springs. The factory valve springs have a very low "closed spring" holding pressure. This low holding pressure will cause valve "bounce" in higher RPM use, especially with the stock turbo. We have a new high rev kit that gets applied to all our Staged engines, thus it helps eliminate the burnt valves associated with the Fiat 1.4 turbo engine. Our valve springs are not heavy overloaded units when you open the valves, we retain 98% of the stock open valve spring pressure, but address the closed valve spring pressure, thus not putting any additional strain on the MultiAir unit. This is key in making a 1.4 turbo engine and MultiAir brick live a long happy life. Failure number 2: Hydraulic valve lash is set incorrect. Combine to much lash correction into the system and it overcomes the factory valve springs. So, combine proper valve lash, with upgraded valve spring, you have the best solution to address the number 1 failure of the 1.4 turbo engine. This is a 1 - 2 punch, to inherent failure point of the engine/design. Failure number 3: Heat... heat and more heat. The factory pistons love to eat the top ring land, tuned or not tuned, and the thermal barrier coatings help reduced ring land damage from to much heat. This has been a proven product for decades. Let get to the details now: King rod and main bearings. Hastings dual chrome rings (top and oil) with Napier 2nd ring/scraper Polished factory rods (beam polishing and piston pin polishing) with ARP 2000 bolts Factory pistons with thermal barrier coating Fresh hone on bore Balanced rotating assembly (prefer to have new clutch on hand for your build) Professionally assembled short block ARP head studs (because factory bolts are not longer available) Brand new Gates timing belt/water pump combo Modified oil pump with high pressure pump shim, this aids in MultiAir operation Mild port work on runners, throat, and under seat area High rev valve springs/retainers Custom spring seats with spring locators 3 angle valve grind 4 layer head gasket (copper coated) NA 1.4 camshaft (mild increase over stock, 15/20 WHP top end power gains) Valve cover and oil pan New MultiAir filter and Tork Motorsports MA springs (mandatory on all new engines) This is a complete engine less MA assembly/brick. We have options for refurbished bricks, and brand new bricks. What does all that mean above? It means years of knowledge, experience and multiple torn down engines to identify and sort the root cause of the engine failure. The simple thing like valve springs and spring seat washers, sure... it may not seem like a lot, but these two items alone, will solve 99% of the burnt valve issues that people experience with these engines. These engine do have a core charge, you must be able to return a core that is in good working order to our facility. We can facilitate pick up, but that cost will come out of the core price refund. What is a good core? One that doesn't have excessive bore scoring, excessive bearing wear, rod knock, hold in block, all the valves bent from broken timing chain, etc. Build time is 3 to 4 weeks, but we are doing our best to keep these in stock at all times. Note: If you want a block with new or refurbished MA brick, please order that from the website and we will email you to confirm you want it installed on your Stg 1.5 engine. What makes this different from the Stg 1 engine is the additional port work, upgraded camshaft, with the focus being under seat area and opening up the exhaust valve seat. This area of the exhaust side is the most restrictive part of the cylinder head.
