Fiat FIRE engines

The Fiat FIRE gasoline engine series has been produced since 1985 and during this time has acquired countless models and modifications.

Fiat FIRE 4-cylinder gasoline engines were first introduced back in 1985 and have become quite widespread in almost all models of the Italian concern. There are three modifications of these engines: atmospheric, turbocharged and with the MultiAir system.

Fiat FIRE atmospheric engines

In 1985, the 10-liter engine of the FIRE family debuted on the heel of the Autobianchi Y1.0, which eventually turned into a huge line of engines ranging from 769 to 1368 cm³. The first internal combustion engines came with a carburetor, and then versions with single injection or injector appeared.

The design for that time is typical: a 4-cylinder cast-iron block, a timing belt drive, an aluminum head could be an 8-valve with one camshaft without hydraulic lifters, and in newer versions a 16-valve with a pair of camshafts and hydraulic lifters. The most modern versions of the internal combustion engine had a phase regulator and a system for changing the intake geometry.

This family included a huge number of power units ranging from 769 to 1368 cm³:
