Fiat Uno Turbo ie modification letters
- Letter from Paul Allen:
There are loads of modifications you can make on the Uno Turbo i.e. I
have an 88 F reg with a FSE boost valve, K&N induction kit, Janspeed
exhaust (3.5" * 3") and Dump valve. With these mods I eat R5GT's for
breakfast. You can purchase these items at any motor sport shop for
around ?500. I am soon to get a superchip aswell. By the way does
anybody know where I can either get a white dial kit or the LCD dash off
a Strada Abarth?
Cheers
Paul

mine has all the basic stuff like the exhaust, air filter..etc. i've gone on to change the cams and also an uprated intercooler. throw in a blow valve and additional fueling quartz and ur uno will be screaming at 1.3 bar at least. (of course with the bleed valve).However, i'm desperately looking for a clutch (fast road performance) to hold and tranfer the horses effectivly to the wheels.....any suggestions? By the way mines the 1.4ie mk 2.

SuperChip to start with, 1400 gearbox, Bigger wheels (do not go to 17")
Hybrid Turbo (expensive) Good exhaust etc etc etc

Letter from Trevor:
1. don't put your dump vavle in the same positon as the one in the photo. Not very effective + the car might not idle properly, place it as close to the pendulum chamber.
2. If changing the clutch try and purchasing the orginal Fiat clutch, why not lighten the flywheel at the same time....trust me try it...!!!!
3. Starting problems..?? no spark at the plug+ no fuel pump working....??? check the connection behind the air flow sensor (just after the relay).
4. Hybrid turbo....???? yes if ya wanna eat porsches, cossies, M3 and Intergrales..... (universal Turbo's do a wicked hybrid). I personally will testitfy slaughtering them at the lights..even giving them a slight head start.....hehehe
5. Exhuast....hhhhmmm Scorpian if ya wanna get pulled and like blue smoke comming out... magnex and Remus...a more safer& better option (more money though).
6. whoops maybe this should have been first...???? Deck the car if ya wanna live....
I did own such an Uno Turbo(mk2) with the above modification ....but had to sell it due to fear of losing my life and my licence...(chicken I hear ya say)...
But not to fear .....hehehehe...I bought another one... (mk2) its black...Radius r1 wheels 7x15 ...with toyo 195/45/15...(lowered by 35mm,even more when I sort the arches from rubbing out) magnex exhuast... electronically chipped (boost is automatically raised in 3rd,4 and 5th gears...
soon to be purchased hybrid (only way to go...!!!) lighten flywheel (will be the 3rd uno I've owned with that mod done) clutch....and maybe Nitrous....
