Chip tuning for Fiat Argo 1.8i flexfuel 139 hp ECU

Fiat Argo (2017) 1.8i flexfuel 139 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 139 to 150 hp (+11 hp, +8%) and torque from 190 to 210 Nm (+20 Nm). ECU — Marelli 10GF. 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.

Fiat is one of the founders of Stellantis, formed by the merger of FCA and PSA in 2021. 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.

Within Stellantis, ECUs are standardised across platforms, so some files work on Fiat/Citroen/Peugeot. The Fiat community in Italy offers a large pool of ready-made Stage files for compacts and the Ducato. On mid-range Fiat petrol engines, Stage 1 delivers a noticeable gain. 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.
