Tuning tips for the Fiat Grande
We like the Grande and with a few of our Grande tuning tips we are sure you will have a fantastic car. Better than what Fiat ever intended!
Available in standard form with power of upto 132bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Grande. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 145.2bhp to 224.4bhp which seems almost too good to be true but is possible if you have deep pockets.
To go over the 100bhp per 1000cc limit you would need to be running a pretty serious forced induction setup. If you head for a maximum power figure you need to expect a lot of unreliability. See this link for more details on Engine Tuning
Fiat mods should include an engine swap to provide a better base to work from. The ’132bhp Grande Puntos’ is a real gem in terms of power. There are some star performers in the Grande line up. With a few mods you will make yours a road scortcher rather than just a hot hatch.Top of your list for tuning mods will be a sports exhaust system, a fuel boost valve (for a snappy throttle response) and a good quality induction kit.
The Car Tuning Guide recommend that on the Grandes , you get a fast road cam. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.
The most powerful Grande Punto in our database offers 132 bhp.
