Tuning the Fiat Abarth 220whp!
Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2014 5:24 am
As some of you may know I have been doing a lot of work tuning the new Fiats, specifically the Abarth, although I am also working on the 500T and 500L.
The hardware I am using is the South African Unichip system. I am doing the software portion, meaning the actual tune. I have been very happy with the quality of the hardware and the flexibility of the product.
So far we have release three official tunes, each with various options. The take the car from about 165whp up to as much as 220whp. The system connects to the factory ECU and harness and is plug and play. The best thing about the Unichip system vs most flash tuners is that the tunes can be updated with relative ease, and the system can store up to 5 tunes as once and be switched from the driver's seat.
We are currently working on using this same system for the new Alfa Romeos that are hopefully coming to the US. I feel our work on the Abarth is giving us a good head start on using Unichip with the new Alfas because they use the same basic engine.
Here is a stock power run:
