im confused. the actual engine in cinq sportings is called a FIRE engine, its like Honda have VTEC and vauxhall have Ecotec and rover have the K series, Fiat have a FIRE engine

 

[lewma]

Except the vtec is half if not three quarters more powerful than mine! gutted

Almost. FIRE stands for Fully Integrated Robotised Engine, I actually remember when Fiat introduced it as my friend at the times mum bought an UNO when theyt first came out, think I was about 12 at the time, FIAT claimed it used something like 25% less moving parts that a conventional engine therefore the theory was less moving parts, less things to break, meaning higher reliability!

Honda's VTEC stands for Variable Timing Emissions Control, where the engine alters the lift & duration of the cam to gain high power at high revs but fuel economy & good emissions at low revs.

Don't know about the Vauxhall engine.

I think you misunderstood me, i was only indicating that a FIRE engine was a type of engine that fiat made, just like honda makes a VTEC engine.....

i didnt mean it was the same as in variable valves etc...

Is it not obvious what ECOTEC on a Vauxhall engine stands for.

I know it's considered rude to reply to your own posts, but I suppose I had better admit to a Vauxhall dealership now.

LOL @ D!!

Seems everyone I talk too says the old C20E engines were much better then any of their new stuff.
