0-60mph in 17 seconds, 1 passenger, k&n panel filter in the wet at night, i think thats quite respectable

i wonder where you got that from ??? lol

It's worth bearing in mind that the FIRE engines are tuned more for mid range torque then for top end power. They're also designed to be economical rather than road burners! I've read that they are very under tuned in respects of what they are capable of. The good thing is that means long engine life, and I've seen a number of 130 - 140,000 mile Unos for sale still running fine.

Round town a 1.0 or 1.1 FIRE can easily keep up with most traffic, and the mid range torque makes it a very easy engine to drive relatively quickly in such conditions. That's something that doesn't show in the 0 - 60 mph time. Acceleration in 2nd or 3rd gear at urban speeds is pretty impressive, though once over 50mph it tends to tail off.

Alex is right in saying that the cam timing restricts the engine from breathing at higher revs. That's because the engine is designed to produce maxium torque at quite a low 2800 rpm, which is why the engine is so tractable round town.

Smokeme recommends a camshaft swop to make the engine breathe better. A Panda 4x4 cam will give the 1.0 litre 50 bhp, fitting a Punto 75 camshaft or even complete head is better still and could possibly take the power up to near 60 bhp.

One road test I read says that a 1.0 litre Uno should do 0 - 60 in about 16.5 seconds. It's not that quick, but it's round town that the Uno excels rather than on a drag strip!

Me and my mate spent one afternoon when we were bored trying this out. His Mk 2 uno 45 FIRE got aournd 17.5 seconds wheras my mk 1 45 FIRE managed just under 16 seconds on one run, with a bottle of that power booster stuff you get from halfords in it!

Times are probably pretty inaccurate as we used a stopwatch and stopped it at 60 (I believe 100km/hr is around 62, and 2mph makes a lot of difference in time when you get up to that speed in an uno!) I am also pretty sure the uno speedo's are only a loose approximation to real speed too!

My cinq can do it in about 14 seconds

0-60 in 13,5s
(two persons, full interior)

1.0 fire
little engine tuning:

sc sporting camshaft
head and manifolds ported & polished
air intake with cone air filter
free flow exhaust system

Uno Fire 999ccm – monopoint injection
0-100 KMH in 15 seconds (alone in vehicle)

Manually blocked magnetic pre-ignition set in distributor (magnet controlled by vacuum)
Not bad
Uno can go even faster down the hill

Fiat Bravo 1.6 sx 0 - 100kmph in 9.9 timed on mobile phone.

Re: 0-100kmh

Mine (45 FIRE) does it in 600 seconds, but only downhill, tailwind > 50km/h, driver and passenger flapping arms out of window.

Uno turbo MK 1
1.1 bar boost

7.38

with passenger

I'll do a 0-100t and 0-200k test later today and give you some results

here's my 45 spedo vedio...

one of my 70 kg friends was sitting beside me

i didn't make hard on 2nd gear only 60km and i shifted i usualy shift to third at 80.

and as u can see i didn't make exactly 100km/h it was 97 or 98km/h because the car front of me stoped for no reason i'll do it again...
i hope it will be better,,

Ok, in the turbo, with me (weighing a good 90kg) uphill in the dry.

9 seconds to get to 100kph, which is damn slow, until you consider that I was going uphill and that I had to contend with absolutely ridiculoud amounts of wheelspin through 1st and 2nd.

Was going to try the 200k, but not keen on doing it on the current tyres. Will get back to you some point.

31 Seconds. Fiat 126, 703cc. Quite a bit faster than most posted times and mine is unmodified, but in excellent tune.

took another stab at my 0-60mph tonight and i managed 15.16 seconds, 1 passenger and half a tank of petrol, gotta say that seems very good to me

again i did another run tonight, getting faster 13 seconds

lol, 13 seconds. whats the book time?, actually let me look

1994 fiat uno brochure says 0-62mph is 17.7 seconds for the 1.0L fire

0-100 in 6.93s - Uno Turbo 1301ccm 1.05bar on turbo, - larger IHI VL3, Totaly differend (huge and oppened exhaust), cold air intake system, larger intercooler.
0-160 in 14.56s - 1/4mile )

When I had Uno 999FIRE with carburettor, 15.6s 0-100. - no upgrades on engine.

Well just faster than a 1.6 corsa (which is listed at 9.0 seconds)

But that is with my 1242 cinque, see sig below

0-100km/h ~5 sec

My uno is not standard apart from cyl.displacement ie 1.3 l

Sorry, b ut that is totally bull****.
