I Remapped My Abarth 124 Spider On My Driveway! First Drive Reaction

Рет қаралды 26,654

Күн бұрын

So finally the time came to add some more power to my abarth 124 spider. My abarth 124 spider currently has an abarthtuning.com sport cat and cross pipe. The abarth 124 spider also has a BMC air filter and upgraded coil packs. What was i hoping to achieve from remapping my abarth 124 on the driveway? I wanted to add a bit more power to compliment the already brilliant chasis the 124 spider has. In this video i show you the process of the remap and also the first drive with the new map on the Abarth 124 spider.

Can hear it getting through the Rev range quicker and especially when you change up, it’s on it straight away. Sounds great too! I Suppose 25bhp is going to make quite a difference in a 1100kg car. I got a similar remap through quantum for our transit custom camper van! The box looks identical, probably a generic bit of kit. I knew I wasn’t going to dyno the van but did some performance tests before and after: 30-50mph (3rd gear) was 7.31s, now 5.85s. (4th) - was 10.86, now 11.44 strangely. 50-70 (4th) was 14.52 now 8.88! (5th) - was 14.39, now 11.32. 30-70 (through gears) was 18.05, now 13.18s. Some absolutely huge gains, can now hold its own with cars where it struggled before. Great thing as you say about these is you can put it back to standard spec and there’s no silly box to install, fiddling on with wiring. Not a fan of hose piggy back boxes.

I’m 20yrs old. Will be a stage 1 remap. Standard power figures of my car is 171hp and 280nm. After the remap I should have 205hp and 320nm. I can’t wait to test her out after.

Brilliant daily and more practical that the 124, quicker still rear wheel drive only issue is it doesn’t sound great out the box due to OPF. Will need a good exhaust to fix that but other than that i trumps the 124
