Technical Fiat Coupe engine, want to install into Uno Turbo
I think the 1.6 engine was fitted to the 2wd HF Turbo. All Integrales as you said were 2.0 litres.
ive heard that the 2.0 16v engines go in to the uno's. my mates friend has done it.
This is what I have
MK2 Uno TUrbo
- The head is a bit worked on - not by someone in Cape Town but by myself - 8Years ago
- Motor wise is Std - std pistons, valves, ect. -
- Std Injectors
- Std MerelliBox - Spark -
- Aftermarket Management - EFI Mr Turbo - replacement for the Airflow Meter -
- Turbo - T2.7 Garette boosting .9B -
- s.m.a.r.t Dumpvalve
- Inter Cooler - LandRover Deffender -
I raced the BMW M3 V8 Friday night and it was big sports,,, 1st,, 2nd and 3rd I was in front with about 2 car lengths,,, 4rth my clutch can't keep up - slipping -
Picks
Nice race.
But come on be real .. the M3 is stock.. I used to play with Sl65Amg's V12 - Bi Turbo (yes they make 1000nm) Up till 200 he could not catch me, but after that the shoebox characteristics of the uno just does not work.
If you are going to race a Sport saloon or any supercar, make sure its only till the end of 3rd gear :devil:
That way .. you cant lose

SL65 AMG???
****! lol :slayer:
Im betting his traction control was loving that! lol
The uno chassis as we can all see wasnt designed for the 20V engine but that problem is that the MASS of the engine will upset any form of front balance
Ask any Vauxhall/Opel Nova/Corsa driver
There was a 280BHP touring car engine'd Vauxhall Corsa (500BHP/NM Ford Saleen Mustang killer though!) where i lived and when he was under hard braking the front was "Bobbing" excessively
A combination of the extra mass and hard spring/damping rates contributed to that effect
By all means try the combination but its might take some time to "iron out" any issues

The uno weighs 800kg, roughly making 300hp. thats around 350hp per ton.
The Sl weighs about 2 tons and makes 610hp. that leaves the uno with a higher bph per ton ratio.
from the dig the SL is quicker with the aids like DSC and T/c but after 2nd gear the uno gets going very well to its redline in 4th at about 220kph.

the added weight wont do any chassis good. ive seen 3sgte engines in uno's
makes a good drag car, but for track days it will understeer like mad.
leave a stock uno turbo motor inthere .. just boost it.. 300hp is more then enough.
Think of it as a Vauxhall Astra VXR ....

Lol, a mate of mine has the Nurbergring Edition VXR, i blipped it a few times on the spot........sounds like a 1.2 Clio/Corsa with a big exhaust!
I wasnt impressed!
The only way that a Physicly bigger engine is benificial would be to mount it further towards to centre of the car
i.e down and back, like most racecars but remember race cars dont have to make previsions for space and bumps
Thats where average Joe makes the mistake, a race car is optimised within given restrictions...........a road car isnt! (No implication that im higher than average joe......well i wouldnt be at uni otherwise pursuing it if i didnt want to learn more! lol)
Steve mate some videos would have been quality! :devil:
