Uno 2.0 16V Fiat Uno Turbo from South Africa

[Hellcat]

What is the engine out of? Doesn't look like any 2.0 16v I've seen before.

:yuck:

It's a soul-less shell of a car then

I thought that originally but its not exactly like its trying to be true to the original at all and as he said, its got more power than the italian equivalent.. Fair play IMO, if your building a 2ltr turbo Uno then why not use the more powerful engine.. makes sense to me.

 

[Hellcat]

Maybe...

but why have an italian car without an italian engine. Makes no sence to me. May as well have just bought an MR2.

 

[blu73]

Yeh i know what your saying, it would be much cooler IMO to keep it all italian, but i don't think it a complete loss that its not. If it was offered to me i'd want it thats for sure and i'm sure it'd make even you smile if you were behind the wheel

Each to their own. I've driven some quick non-fiat cars and the engine note left me, well, empty. It just went brum, brum, brum. Without a doubt hes done well with the engineering - all credit to him for making it fit - but there is more to life than power and I'd have liked to have seen an italian lump providing the traction.

Hahaha.............found that funny for some reason

Im against engine conversions but its good to have variety, but to turn around say to someone "its the ********".........isnt really doing the car (from standard) justice

The whole "change the engine" thing says that the original engine was a pile of ****!

Well........ i think uno-jens has proved many, many, many people wrong!

Have you not had to really increase the chassis stregnth, my mum and dad used to have a friend with an uno turbo and he did minimal performance upgrades to it and the chassis twisted slightly.

Sup Fiat maties!!!

Long time no Smell. i sold the Uno to my Brother, and he is racing it now.

Fastest 1/4 mile time was 13.5sec flat by me.
We did some upgrades but the enfin is still standard.
180kw and 455nm torque...We love the torque in these engines.
Fitted a BiiiiiiiiG intercooler
Boost controller
Fitted Falken Azenis RT 615 Semi Slick Racing tires
Fitted a Roll Cage.

Thats about it...

[GTA]

Trus me...It is the NUTS after we got it back from Dyno Tuning.

240kw
440nm torque

and that is on a Stock standard Toyota 3S GTE engin with a Factory CT20 Turbo at 1bar boost.

Not bad at all. Now I'm just waiting to see what the 1/4 mile times are.
