MK1 Uno Turbo i.e

thought i'd put up a thread on my uno, i've owned it for 10 years now my god time flies lol some might remember it from "back in the day" msn groups turbo collective when i first had it!

its come a long way since i bought it way back in 2003, now running punto gt1 management with a seb chip, wms 4 pots, oz lightweight wheels,
I will be having the uno mapped by fcp later on this year hoping for 200bhp+

got a few new bits for it already this yeah and will be looking to beat my current best of 14.6 down the 1/4 mile!

i love your car mark it looks mint.

do you still have that punto ecu how to guide mate cus i think i've got all the bits for it now.

do you still have the standard turbo on it or have you upgraded cus i'd like around 200hp in mine too.

doody just make a start with it and i will help you on here, on your mk2 it would be easy and you could do it over a weekend if you have all the parts,

i dont have the guide anymore but i can write another one i can remember it all, you wont get 200bhp with the standard turbo, mine has a stage4 turbo dynamics hybrid,

have a look on puntosports forum a good turbo for yours would be a md103 they are good for nearly 200, there was one forsale on psc, http://www.puntosports.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?129524-Punto-Gt-MD103

i'm going to start doing stuff to the car next week hopefully.
i'm getting the bubbles sorted then i'll have a go at the engine and brakes.

i got all the bits needed from the puntosports forum a couple of months ago so i can't wait to start this.

are you going to fit punto gt brakes doody?

went up tp my garage where the uno is kept yesterday and started her up first time since about november last year it needs a good clean and a polish was covered in dust, fitted my new set of wheels, i really like them and think they suit it, going to get the rear bumper painted soon,

got a list of things that need sorting mainly the brakes! even though it had a new master cylinder a few years back they have always been pants so going to get hold of a pgt servo/master cylinder and get it fitted!

Mark, any chance you can list whats needed for a PGT conversion? Im thinking of going Omex but if the PGT can be done quite easily ill go down that route.

Yeah we could do with a how to guide as that section is still empty on this forum

Cars looking great btw,the brakes fill the wheels perfect

yeah i would also like to do the conversion so a guide would b great i did message you mark but you never got back to me

I'll get a guide written up and post it on here

I'm still not convinced about the PGT management set up against the standard UT one, but I'm all ears ?.. Let us Know how you get on with Punto master / brake servo Mark?, as I've got a near complete PGT i'm not sure what to do with

i already have them fitted mate but the brakes are still pants.

i was thinking of using a master cylinder and servo from a mk2 punto cus the brakes got much better from around that sort time.

What Discs and pads are you guys using?, i've got grooved discs front and rear with hard ebc pads, on standard Mk2 brakes with braided hoses and they work real good, they do like to be warmed up a bit, also worked a treat on trackdays too

mine are standard uno turbo rear brakes and standard punto gt front ones.
i don't get enough feel from them.
my last UT had standard everything and the brakes were much better than what i have at the minute.

that sounds weird! youd think punto brakes would be better

I changed my rears from standard discs to grooved and they bite loads better

might be worth trying different dics / pads

i was thinking the grooved discs, i'll try anything to make them more positive though.

bought the uno back out of storage, insured it with adrian flux all mods declared on a classic policy for £150 which im very happy with, car drove fine back home brakes are still toss as per usual, have ordered a wideband which i will fit soon as it arrives,

hopefully be taking it to a psc rolling road meet next weekend for a power run

a few pictures of it clean, i really like the wheels

Looking very clean and a very nice uno what power are you hoping of?

i'm hoping for 160-170bhp, its only running a seb0 chip and thats what they are rated for, will be getting it mapped at a later date hoping for over 200

went along to the punto sports club rolling road day, car made 163bhp@7200 rpm, ran it at about 17psi and according the rolling road operator the afr were spot on,

I was expecting a bit more after all the work you've done Mark.. Whats the next move?.

i was really happy with it, that power is about right for the seb0 chip but more importantly it isnt running lean the ecu is fueling properly, i didnt turn the boost up more because there was only enough time for the one run,
next i want to take the fuel tank off and replace the pump and fuel pipes as they look really old and are way past it, would like to replace the tank with a plastic one it looks really rusty and there was spots of fuel on the floor underneath it when i got back home,

its leaking a bit of oil as well from i think the rocker gasket so will replace that too,

found out that my pace intercooler had a big hole in it which explains my funny idle, and poor boost control!

fitted my un painted front bumper, took a while to find one, skirts and arches are yet to go on also, im going to be sorting out the rear arches at the same time as fitted the new trim,




got hold of some new parts, bosch 044 fuel pump, 330cc injectors, gt2554r turbo, dr evil elbow, cosworth 4x4 intercooler and a set of federal 595rsr tyres for the front,

where did you find the bumper mate
