TheFIRE (for "Fully Integrated Robotised Engine") is a series ofautomobile engines fromFiat Powertrain Technologies, built inFCA'sTermoli,Betim and also inDundee, MI (only in 1.4 Multiair versions) plants. It was designed by Italian designerRodolfo Bonetto.^[1] It was constructed by robot assembly plants ("Robogate") to reduce costs.

The FIRE series replaced the old Fiat100 seriesoverhead valve engines in the mid-1980s. Mechanically, they are simplestraight-four engines with fivemain bearingscrankshaft andoverhead cam heads.

Since 1985, it has been constructed in different versions. Displacements range from 0.8 to 1.4 L; 46.9 to 83.5 cu in (769 to 1,368 cc). In addition to the 8 valve versions, there are "Super-FIRE" 1.2 and 1.4 L; 75.8 and 83.5 cu in (1,242 and 1,368 cc)16 valve versions.

The "Super-FIRE" which uses 16 valves and was available in 1.0 L; 61.0 cu in (999 cc) (Brazil) and 1.2 L; 75.8 cu in (1,242 cc) (Brazil & Europe) displacements.

The 1.4 L; 83.5 cu in (1,368 cc) variation introduced in 2003 was available in both 8 and 16 valves. In 2005 Fiat introduced a version of the 16v incorporatingport deactivation (PDA) andexhaust gas recirculation (EGR). This unit is frequently referred to as the "StarJet" engine. One year later, aturbocharged variety of the StarJet was introduced under the name "T-Jet", and aMultiAir (adding electro-hydraulic intake valve driving, with variable timing, lift and profile) version was added in 2009, available in eithernaturally aspirated and turbocharged forms. It reached 190 PS on the Abarth 695 Biposto.

The FIRE was originally acarbureted engine, and later progressed tosingle-point injection (SPI), then tomulti-point fuel injection (MPI), usingsequential multi-port fuel injection (SMPI) today. It was used in the750 Formula in a slightly modified state.

Brazilian production started in 2000 with the "Super-FIRE" 1.2 16V (80 PS), was extended until 2006 with 1.0 8V (54 PS), 1.0 16V (69 PS), 1.2 8V (66 PS) and 1.4 8V (80 PS). By 2016, the two "last Super-FIRE" being produced in Brazil were the reworked (New pistons and crankshaft) 1.0 8V (77 PS) and the 1.4 8V VVT (90 PS), both running on petrol or ethanol fuels.

Starting in 2016, it was being replaced by theGSE (FireFly) engine family. Production eventually ended in 2021, after 23,233,856 units had been built.^[2]

As part of the June 10, 2009 Operating Agreement, Chrysler's commercial production of Fully Integrated Robotized Engine began in itsDundee, Michigan facility.^[3][4] Chrysler's first FIRE engine model, a 100 hp (75 kW) 1.4-litre FIRE with Multiair engine, was first introduced in Fiat 500 starting in 2010.^[5]
