🐂 Fiat 124 Spider Vs Abarth
Small turbo upgrade = more usable rev range on the street. Large turbo upgrade= better for drag times. A turbo upgrade needs to be supported by thoughtful, targeted mods that allow you to get the best out of it (increase in cooling, increase in airflow, increase in fueling, increase in rev range, tuning.)
The 2018 Fiat 124 Spider Convertible is a Fun Little Rear Wheel Drive sports car that tends to offer the fun of a Porsche 911 but at a fraction of its price. It is powered by a 1.4L Turbocharged Multi-Air Petrol Motor delivering 160 HP and 184 lb-ft of torque at a starting price of $24,995. The 2018 Fiat 124 Spider Convertible is available in 3

Something that still puzzles me is why Fiat UK and Fiat US have specified and are marketing the 124 Spider differently, at least as far as Fiat vs Abarth versions. Here in the UK the Fiat 124 Spider engine is rated at 140 bhp whereas the Abarth 124 Spider is 170 bhp, and as far as I can tell the difference is due to a different map for the ECU
Abarth appeals to someone like me, who never really paid much attention to Fiats before but fell in love with 124 Spider. Although I am an existing FCA owner I could be considered a Fiat “conquest”. Abarth’s role is to help 124 Spider expand its traditional owner base, by making its performance and styling potential stand out more obviously.

With the Abarth package, the 124's softer suspension is exchanged for a set that works better in the corners. The exhaust is modified as well and horsepower goes up. The problem is that the
The MX-5 has a better engine character for extremely sporty/track driving, especially with the updated engine. The 124 can have more power added to it very easily with a flash tune and maybe an intake and some injectors. Basic stuff. If you want big power you can throw in a larger turbo and all that business.
With a useful boost in power over the standard Fiat 124 Spider comes a modest increase in pace. The Fiat’s 0-62mph time drops from 7.5sec to 6.8sec for the Abarth 124, while top speed grows by

The simplest way is to install a piggy back tuning box and an electronic throttle position enhancer. They are marketed by Fiat specialty retailers under various brand names. Cost is in the neighborhood of $800. Installation is relatively simple, completely reversible, and leaves no telltale signature in the car’s ECU.
Not particularly quick. Expensive to buy. Although it’s very closely related to both the Fiat 124 Spider and the Mazda MX-5, the Abarth 124 Spider represents a separate take on the roadster
