Chip tuning for Lancia Thema 3.6 Pentastar V6 285 hp ECU
Lancia Thema (2011) 3.6 Pentastar V6 285 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis group (Италия, 1906). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 285 to 300 hp (+15 hp, +5%) and torque from 353 to 370 Nm (+17 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental GPEC2, Siemens/Continental GPEC2A, Siemens/Continental NGC5. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. TCU units on this engine: ZF 8HP45-845RE, ZF 8HP50 — each is calibrated with a separate file (torque limiter, shift maps for Stage 1). In the CHIPOK database: 5 configurations · 5 ECU variants. The 2011 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.
Lancia is an Italian carmaker from Turin, founded in 1906. Lancia has historically specialised in compact cars; in recent years only the Ypsilon remains, sold in Italy. Lancia shares platforms with Fiat within Stellantis. Lancia's petrol range consists of compacts based on Fiat platforms. Lancia shares ECUs with Fiat within Stellantis.
The Lancia community is a narrow niche, mostly in Italy. On older-generation Lancia models, Stage 1 is done via OBD without bench. High-output Lancia models are rare in the current range.
Lancia uses automatics and automated gearboxes from the Stellantis platform.
