Tuning Abarth turbo

[Kurtis]

as Matt says, the turbo on the 500 Abarth isnt changed on an ss upgrade

He's also right in saying that the Bravo 150 And Grande Abarth share the same turbo, these also fit the New Lancia Delta 150

The Mito 155 and 500 Abarth Share the same Turbo

How are you getting them from an upgrade when the turbo you are selling does not get upgraded to anything bigger on the cars that it is on? IE the A500.

 

[welshlad]

these turbos come off mito,s not 500s.

 

[adamcot]

these turbos come off mito,s not 500s.

Can you get an upgrade pack for the Mito

 

[welshlad]

strictly speaking no but the customers buy the turbos and we fit them they are the same turbos as the ones fitted on the ess model made by garret .GT 1446

 

[punto_matt]

So what else do you change then if you are fitting the SS Garret turbo?

Post 101, he works for a Fiat/Alfa/ parts department Turbo off the 500A and the Mito 155 is the same but different to the AGP turbo.

 

[welshlad]

What ever the customer wants .

 

[punto_matt]

What ever the customer wants .

So you use the standard manifold do you?

 

[welshlad]

no the garret comes complete with the manifold and cat. due to the garret being 1.5 bar not 1.3 and having variable boost.

I actually have a mito 155 turbo coming in, would have been here today but Fiat decided to put a front wheel hub flange in the box :|

Would anyone want pics for future reference?

 

[ChrisUK]

hmm flange.... :slayer:

been doing a bit of research and found that AHM ( I think ) afla tuners have remapped a mito TB 155 to 180 + so all is good I suppose with a good exhaust system and gsr induction kit you could add 5 - 10 bhp maybe ???

 

[Kurtis]

At work were currently upping them to 170bhp

 

[punto_matt]

You map them at work?

 

[tzagasdog]

One thing that you might not notice is that GPA has different camshafts than tjet 120, so tjet with VL38 (abarth turbo), without any other mods, will produce around 170bhp (with a remap of course)

 

[Repsol Joe]

Right been along time coming but its finally done. VL36 turbo fitted, forge actuator fitted and remapped today. 164bhp and 210 ft lbs will get the RR print out up soon. its made a hell of a difference but was hopping for a bit more.

 

[Thunderchump]

Is that just a new turbo actuator and a remap? Thats not too bad!

 

[punto_matt]

You need an exhaust and an Intercooler. They will be highly restricting it atm.

 

[Repsol Joe]

exhaust and induction next on the list but i'll have to save up a bit now. the torque is actually 230 ft lbs
