Nope.

FIRE = Fully Integrated Robotised Engine

Have a look at this...explains it a bit http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/ajwebster/eng.html

The 999cc uno engine was also a FIRE unit, the Bravo 1.6 is a FIRE unit as well.

All Fiat engines are now FIRE engines, not only are they built by robots they are designed by computers for optimum use of space and 'apparently' designed to make repairing them easier, its what the integrated part is all about.
