Chip tuning for Abarth 124 1.4 Multi-Air 140 hp ECU
Abarth 124 (2017) 1.4 Multi-Air 140 hp — sports petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis (тюнинг-суббренд Fiat) group (Италия, 1899). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 140 to 195 hp (+55 hp, +39%) and torque from 230 to 300 Nm (+70 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Marelli 8GMK, Marelli 8GMK.Fx, Marelli 8GML. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. TCU units on this engine: ZF 9HP48, ZF 9HP48-948TE — each is calibrated with a separate file (torque limiter, shift maps for Stage 1). In the CHIPOK database: 5 configurations · 5 ECU variants. A petrol engine built in 2017 — a Tricore platform without strong protection; OBD access works.
Abarth has been part of Fiat (now Stellantis) since 1971. Abarth is Fiat's performance sub-brand, specialising in hotted-up compacts. The scorpion is Abarth's signature logo, a symbol of its aggressive character. The factory Abarth calibration is sporty, yet there is still headroom for Stage 1. Abarth builds high-output turbo-petrol engines based on Fiat units.
The Abarth community is a performance niche within the wider Fiat scene. The Fiat community in Southern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Mid-range Fiat engines are a high-volume chip tuning subject.
On mainstream Fiat models the TCU rarely needs calibration below Stage 1+. Fiat uses Aisin automatics and its own automated gearboxes. Dualogic is Fiat's badge for its automated gearbox.
