Chip tuning for Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp ECU
Fiat Argo (2017) 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis (бывш. FCA — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) group (Италия, 1899). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 73 to 80 hp (+7 hp, +10%) and torque from 95 to 107 Nm (+12 Nm). ECU — Bosch ME17.3.0. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. A petrol engine built in 2017 — a Tricore platform without strong protection; OBD access works.
The Fiat community in Italy and Eastern Europe generates a large volume of chip tuning on compacts. TwinAir is Fiat's signature designation for its two-cylinder turbo engines in the micro segment. MultiAir is Fiat's intake-valve control system. Fiat shares some ECUs and algorithms with Alfa Romeo and Lancia.
On pre-2017 Fiat models, Stage 1 is done via OBD without bench. The Fiat community in Italy offers a large pool of ready-made Stage files for compacts and the Ducato. Within Stellantis, ECUs are standardised across platforms, so some files work on Fiat/Citroen/Peugeot. On naturally aspirated Fiat engines the main effect is sharper throttle response. Low-output Fiat engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe on them.
Frequently asked questions
How many horsepower does the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp reach after a remap?
Stage 1 chip tuning on the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp boosts engine output by 7 hp: from 73 to 80 hp. Torque rises from 95 to 107 Nm (+12 Nm).
What changes in the Fiat Argo ECU after Stage 1?
Stage 1 is a software optimization of the factory ECU firmware of the Fiat Argo with no hardware changes. The injection, boost, ignition-timing and torque maps are reprogrammed. The gain is +7 hp with no hardware changes.
Is Stage 1 worth doing on the base Fiat Argo?
Yes, Stage 1 on the low-output Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp delivers a moderate but genuine gain — without overstressing the hardware. On base naturally aspirated engines the effect is felt mainly as improved throttle response and a stronger mid-range.
What is Stage 2 for the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp?
Stage 2 for the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp is Stage 1 plus hardware changes: a downpipe, a larger intake and a performance intercooler. The gain is considerably higher, but it requires professional component selection.
What ECU platform does the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp use?
The Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp is fitted with the Bosch ME17.3.0 ECU. The read method depends on the unit's protection: OBD, Bench via BDM, or Boot mode.
Does the factory warranty of the Fiat Argo remain valid after Stage 1?
After remapping the Fiat Argo, the official factory warranty on the engine and gearbox is lost (this applies to any manufacturer when the ECU is modified). CHIPOK guarantees the quality of the calibration and free revisions.
How long is the wait for a Stage 1 remap for the Fiat Argo?
Reading and writing via OBD takes 25-30 minutes on the Fiat Argo. Bench reading (BDM/JTAG) takes about 60 minutes plus refitting. Remote file processing at CHIPOK takes 5-30 minutes.
How do you roll back to the factory firmware of the Fiat Argo?
Before Stage 1 the original of the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp is read out and saved — returning to the factory state is possible at any time.
How much does chip tuning the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp cost?
The remap price for the Fiat Argo 1.0i flexfuel 73 hp is dynamic and is calculated in the CHIPOK calculator based on the selected options. A credit-based payment model, with no subscription fees.
