Thats slightly less ugly than a normal one, which is quite an achievement!

133 has the looks but needed a turbo/bigger engine for sure. @bloke turboed his lads one though and made decent power.

I did contemplate actually buying another 133 but with a wrecked engine and swapping in the 1149cc, sounds backwards but with relatively few mods the d4ft is making more hp and loads more torque than a 133 but would have the better chassis, seats and stereo to start with.

Sorry if I'm reviving or derailing a dead thread (not read to the end yet, spent the past 5 days reading bits at a time after coming across your youtube, so much to go through), but does anyone know anything about swapping a D4FT (1.2 Tce) into a Twingo RS? Straight fit?

I ask because my past 5 years of Twingo RS ownership have been a joy and I'd love for this to be my 'forever car'. It's gone from my daily to a weekend car already. I'm just about to rollover to 100k though the chassis still feels fresh as a daisy (undersealed it, replaced struts, brakes, tyres, belts etc when I got it at 80k). I am considering getting a backup engine before early 2010s stuff becomes hard to find. D4FT's seem to be plentiful and cheap compared to K4M RS's, and there seems to be no information on whether any old K4M 16v will do providing RS intake manifolds and cams are swapped over.

D4FT is tempting me for the price, availability, torque, remap gains, tuneability, economy and *allegedly* 40kg lighter

Either that or just keep on truckin with the current engine till it dies and get it resleeved with fresh pistons.

@crewtube has fit a d4ft into a non GT. Into an RS wouldnt be a problem and you keep the benefits of the RS chassis

Twingo Thread 'John's £150 Twingo Extreme Trackday Project'

Oct 21, 2021

Hi all,

Been lurking for a while but have been following Adeys adventures over on the Twingo OC facebook group and has finally prompted me to make an account and join as i'm on the edge of making a very dumb (?) decision with my poverty spec Twingo 1.2 EXTREME 60. I'm not sure whether this is the right place so please let me know if I should move to build threads/questions.

Long story short during lockdown I picked it up as a non-runner for £150, it had been off the road for years and I thought wouldn't it be a great idea to make it into a low power toy for some track days, driving flat...

Should go into an RS fine, hubs/driveshafts may be different but that's speculation.
