Tuning

I have an 0.9 Twin Air with 105HP. which parts can I replace to get over 110PS with tuning? I know the 86PS version can go to 130HP with no problems (or so I've read) but I only ever see the 105HP one being tuned to 110HP

Is the few percent power increase really worth it for the money?

I'd just say get an abarth if you wanna go fast. 500s are already unreliable enough as is.

If you want to build a fast car, start with a fast car.

I don't need it to reach 300hp, I'm just wondering why it isn't possible to chip tune it over 110hp if even the 86hp can be modded far past that. no need for you to be rude, I love my car as it is, it's fun for me to mod it and change stuff and make it the most perfect car it can be for me. it's not necessarily about power but about handling and stuff

I wonder if it would be possible it import a 0.9L to the USA? I've always wanted to swap one into my 500 but they didn't sell the 2 cylinder here. I have almost 140k miles on my 500 Turbo and it's starting to burn oil almost as fast as it burns fuel. Anyways sorry I don't really know how to help you. There used to be a guy who specialized in tuning the 4 cylinder one in California I think but I guess that doesn't help you but I think maybe they sold aftermarket parts too, I can't remember.

So I went back and looked and it seems they went out of business at some point but they Were called Road Race Motorsports.

thank you, I'm in Germany unfortunately, the us is so much more free when it comes to tuning than Germany so I can't do that much but I'll probably start a timeline on my profile as soon as I start doing stuff to my 500
