General panda 1000 "fire" engine

[smokeme]

Could anyone list other cars that used/use this engine. I´ve notice that there is no performance mods for pandas. I´m more interested in finding a car with the same engine block but with a turbo setup.thanx for any help.

As far as i know they naver made a fire turbo but i might be wrong. its just the uno turbo is a totally different engine. but the 1L uno was a fire engine. i cant really tell you much more.

laters rich

The only one I know of is the Uno ...

yes, i have but i wanted to know for sure as some models weren´t available in some places but i can still get parts here. Unless someone knows of any exhaust manifold with a turbo flange that would fit with little/no mods. Thanx for the replies, great help

The old punto 1.1 uses this engine too and has exact same performance at the 1.0 panda @ 0-60

Hi there,

The only 1 litre turbo made by FIAT was the Y10 turbo - but it does not have a FIRE engine sadly. It is based on the 1049CC FIAT Palio engine.

Regards,

Martin

Which would almost certainly fit in the Panda, if you could find one.

My car already had it´s engine swaped once and i´m starting to think about a custom turbo setup but the carburator freaks me out (first car i own with a carburator)

Other cars i currently own:
1993 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo conversion-512HP at the wheels
1996 Opel Calibra 2.0 Turbo 4x4-378HP at the wheels

So what if i´m a turbo freak i want to see my panda with close to 100HP if possible.

The Y10 turbo engine is a real tight squeeze and not a job for the faint hearted. It's not the same engine block and requires significant reworking of other components like the radiator to fit. Very little resembles a standard Y10 under the hood.

Also spares are getting very scarce these days.

An italian tuner did the turbo conversion on a 1108fire unit, obtaining something more than 110Hp at the wheels...I'll post his website URL if I find it

Do I turn fast enough!?

Thanks a lot.But i´m trying it out using a custom manifold(moded stock stuff and some finesse) and a Subaru wrx turbo in a draw-through config, local turbo geek(turbo installer at a tuning shop nearby) quoted i should get over 100hp if the head can take it depending on how many times it overheated. This setup looks simpler though but a hot turbo by the rad would be a waste but it fits.

You'll certainly need to mod the brake setup.

I´m looking into changing the hubs(the ends that hold the wheels can´t recall proper name) and brake system off another car, i really fancy 4 wheel disk brakes.Any help would be appreciated i know it´s been done(5 bolt conversion with 4 wheel disk brakes)
