Fiat 500x Lounge
Hello, my name is Amber and I am from North Carolina. Recently, I bought a 2016 Fiat 500x Lounge Sport AWD which has a red exterior and a chocolate interior. I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge about this car? Can you suggest any upgrades that work best for it so that I can maximize its power?
 
Hi there, which engine do you have in that?

ECU Remapping: One of the most effective ways to increase the power of your Fiat 500X is through engine tuning or remapping the Engine Control Unit (ECU). This process adjusts the electronic parameters to optimize the air-fuel ratio, ignition timing, and, if applicable, turbo boost pressure. It can result in a noticeable increase in both horsepower and torque.

Air Intake and Exhaust System Improvements​

  • Performance Air Intake: Replacing the standard air intake system with a high-performance one can help your engine breathe better and more efficiently. More air means more power, especially when combined with other upgrades.
  • High-Flow Exhaust System: Upgrading to a high-flow exhaust system reduces backpressure, allowing exhaust gases to exit the engine more freely. This improvement not only increases power but also enhances the exhaust note of your vehicle.

Turbocharger Upgrades​

  • Since your Fiat 500X Lounge Sport AWD likely comes with a turbocharged engine, considering a turbo upgrade could significantly boost its performance. A larger or more efficient turbocharger will increase the amount of air pushed into the engine, significantly enhancing power output.

Intercooler Upgrade​

  • Upgrading the intercooler can improve the efficiency of your turbo system. A more effective intercooler cools the air entering the engine more efficiently, which increases the air's density and allows your engine to generate more power safely.

Suspension and Brakes​

  • Suspension Upgrades: While not directly affecting power, upgrading the suspension components like shocks and struts can improve handling and stability, allowing you to better manage increased power.
  • High-Performance Brakes: With increased power, you'll need better stopping power. High-performance brake pads, rotors, and even brake kits ensure your upgraded vehicle can stop efficiently and safely.

Tire Upgrades​

  • High-performance tires will complement your power upgrades and improve traction, handling, and safety. This is crucial when you modify a vehicle for more power, as the tires need to handle additional stress and performance demands.

Hi -

The engine I have is a 4-Cyl, MultiAir, 2.4L. Thank you for this information I am looking up parts and the labor cost now. Which will be best to start with first or the lineup doesn't matter
