General performance figures for>

[Alex22]

Both the Mk 1 and mk 2 uno turbos.

Can anyone help with this>?? cheers

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

mk1 was 8.3 0-62 and 123 top speed and mk2 was a little slower at 8.7 0-62 but a top end of 127mph. but these are onlt bod fiat figures! lol, find an uno turbo that does this nowdays and u got a **** one lol

[Alex22]

cheers man so your sayin they should be quicker than stated??
Is it easy to get bits for a turbo to modify it??

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

yeah, they feel loads quicker than that standard. just put a bleed valve on and turn the boost up to 14psi as the uno turbo are blueprinted to run this as standard but only run 7 psi cos fiat decided that was enough.

getting parts is fairly easy mate, don't worry about it. but then again there aren't as many parts/spares/tuning parts floating around as there are for renault 5 gt turbos.

but if u want a rare hot hatch then u gotta expect this

hope this helps

Like with most cars like this carefull what you get though for instance most 5GTT's are shagged these days.....

Look in the classifieds i want that uno

 

[Alex22]

I'm not after a Bladdy 5! lol!

Cheers for your help guys

after an uno mate? nice one! me too again lol.

if a nice 1.1 comes along at the right price im gonna have it. ide love a turbo, really would but cant afford the insurance on my minimum wage...


i was behind a turbo the other day doing 60 (so was he) and a gap cleared infront of him and he accelerated away at the same speed i would if i was in second!... crazy power

 

[whatoncewas]

Hey, the 1.1's decent too.

I completely ragged a Corsa today. It was the type of Corsa with huge bodykits, wheels and exhaust. Probably loads of MDF sound install too which adds lots of weight. Either way there was 3 of us in my Uno and I left it twice. Once from 20 off the roundabout and then after it came right up my arse top-end from about 65.

A1 Stirling Corner area if anyone knows it. Was great fun.

 

[Bushboy]

yeah i want a 1.1 cause i dont really wanna go down in engine size. ive got a cinq sporting at the moment and love the speed compared to my old 1.0 uno.

i wouldnt mind a 1.4 non turbo uno but there so hard to find now ide be better off with a 1.1

R5s are lot faster off the mark 0-62 in 7.3 seconds due to their light weight but in 3rd gear an Uno Turbo will pull away extremely fast and obliterate the R5 as i found out last night whilst racing my best mate with his R5 GTT which he has just bought.
Just goes to show you Cant Mess with The UNO TURBOS!!!!! By the way he was running about 1 bar maybe more of boost and i was running standard boost as i'm still running in my new head gasket. But even with simple mods K&N induction kit, Exhaust and Dumpvalve i still kept up with him without really trying hard either so very pleased about that. Just goes to show that a simple tune up and good set up of the car is more important than having Loads of modz really...

[Alex22]

Nice one mate

wha u say is true> my cinq can eat most 1.4's!! which is pretty cool

 

[whatoncewas]

er, a VW Polo G40. **** over the R5's and Uno Turbo's.

 

[jamie86]

Did I miss where someone asked what the G40's like?

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

well, if u modify a uno properly then u will blow alot of cars away due to the power delivery and their gearing and abilitly to rev to 7500rpm!

best cars to blow away are posh nob cars like lotus elise (all show no go) hehe

but book figures for these cars a polo g40 is quicker (but im not scared of them )

 

[The Negotiator]

It's a misconception that the Elise is all show and no go, it's got a 0-60 time of 4.9 (111s) to the highest which is 5.6 (type 25). A sub 5 sec 0-60 isn't no go, well, at least not in my opinion. This before we even consider tuned ones remember.

 

[jamie86]

I was quite impressed by the handling of an Exige as well...

But this is starting to go off topic now!

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

lol ok ok, so they are go but i have put a couple to shame and he was deffo trying and he was laughing in disbelive as i flashed him over on the duelcarrigeway lol! he was only about 25yrs old the lad that was driving it too!

Dunc

 

[whatoncewas]

But then, when did anyone ask about R5's?

Any car you modify enough will be fast. My neighbour's modified G40 is so quick there's nothing on the road he's raced that has beat him. Ok, that doesn't mean anything, but then equally he wouldn't be scared of racing an Uno Turbo. He'd beat one, easily.

0-60 is useless anyway. Let's talk 0-100mph, 1/4 mile and 1 km sprint's.

 

[jamie86]

0-60 useless nah!

Depends on the situation i'd dare say you couldn't do 0-100 in many places without getting stuck in traffic!!!

Hasn't been beaten?! Either he hasn't raced many *fast* cars or he's an extremely good driver!

Thr R5 comments were part of a comment on uno's iirc.......

 

[F R O S T Y]

Polo G40? Dont make me laugh! Sure they are quick cars, Like the smaller brother of the corrado G60 and supercharged i believe. They are extremely rare too just like the Uno Turbo but every1 knows that VEE DUBZ are built like tanks and basically they are heavy cars. An Uno Turbo due to its power to weight ratio will obliterate a polo G40 easily. I've whooped one who tried it myself. Gotta say it was a good race but after 110mph i was gone. The Polo just isnt in the same league in my opinion. But I am an avid VEE DUB follower myself and would be interested to know what mods ur mate has done to his. If its as quick as you say sounds interesting.
