How to increase the power of the 105 hp Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9 Twinair and the 120hp Mito 1.4 TB 16V

The little Alfa Romeo sports car, the Mito, is certainly a successful product, and the common-rail diesel engine version can be spotted easily on the road. Today, however, we will discuss two of the turbocharged petrol versions that are very different from one another in terms of displacement, power, and design: the Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9 Twinair with a power of 105 hp and the Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4 TB with 16V cylinder head and power of 120 hp. Now, let's find out how to tune them easily!

 

How to tune the 105 hp Alfa Mito 0.9 Twinair to increase its power?

 

First, let's see what this engine looks like. It's a rare (unique?) twin-cylinder gasoline engine supercharged with a turbocharger. Some people joke that it's a lawnmower engine, but it's not! It also has a fair amount of power. It develops 105 hp of maximum power at a speed of 5500 rpm, while the maximum torque (here is the catch) has a value of 145 Nm expressed at 2000 rpm. When driving, the engine is idling up to 1500-1800 rpm, and after 2500 rpm, it starts to push as it should with a very distinctive sound. Since the mass is over 11 quintals, the 0-100 takes nearly 11.5 seconds, a value that for an Alfista is not very exciting. Don't worry, SELETRON can fix it!

 

How much can the power of the 105 hp Alfa Mito 0.9 Twinair increase?

Installing the specific kit that we have developed for the Alfa turbocharged 2-cylinder engine (i.e., the Alfa Mito 955 version produced from 2008 onwards), you can immediately get a 24 horsepower increase with 29 Nm more torque, bringing the maximum engine torque to 174 Nm, a much more respectable value to move the more than 1100 kg of the Mito. In fact, the engine changes completely, as does the acceleration (much more effective), the pick-up, uphill driving (also with a full load), and, surprise, even the fuel consumption. If you know how to use the gearbox and the gas pedal, you can save money on gas! From 2000 rpm, when the engine enters in torque, the thrust becomes effective up to the limiter, and the Mito gains that dose of sportiness that you need on an Alfa Romeo, albeit a small one like this.

 

How does the 120hp Mito 1.4 TB 16V drive at standard settings?

Although heavier, the Mito 1400 turbo offers a different performance, and we are talking about the "less powerful" 1.4 turbo. In fact, the maximum speed is around 200 km/h, and the zero-hundred sprint requires less than 9 seconds. The standard power is expressed at 5500 rpm (120 hp) while the maximum torque is 206Nm available at a speed of 1750 rpm, before what happens on the twin-turbo. This engine also seems idle at lower rpm, but this is normal. However, the thrust, even before the intervention of the turbo, is more full-bodied, given the much larger displacement.

 

How much does the power of the 120hp Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4 TB 16V increase?

With our tuning, which we remind you is non-invasive (and requires just the insertion of some connectors to the engine wiring that are identical to the original connectors and easily identifiable thanks to custom instructions and complete with photos), you get great increases in torque and power. The maximum torque value spikes to 247 Nm, a value worthy of an excellent 2500 aspirated gasoline. The maximum power benefits from an increase of 28 hp. The 1400 16-valve turbo pushes with force from 2000 rpm up to the limiter with an excellent progression in all gears. Here too, if you are careful with that right pedal and use higher gears, you can increase the distance per liter, optimizing fuel consumption.

 

Alfa Mito tuning and accelerator pedal chip tuning modules.

For these two variants of the Alfa Mito, a chip tuning additional module is also available in the catalog that makes the engine response much more prompt. The device, the PEDALBOOSTER, does not increase the engine power (to increase engine power and torque, you have to order the CHIPBOX kit), but it eliminates accelerator pedal lag. This kit is also very easy to install and does not require any modifications to the engine. Just hook the original connectors on the accelerator pedal sensor, and the Mito becomes more reactive and snappy... and, dare we say, sportier! The accelerator pedal module can be set to various driving configurations, so you can adapt it at any time to how you feel and how responsive you want your Mito to be.

 

Control your Alfa Mito's responsiveness from your Smartphone

That's not all. Now you know that you can adapt your Mito's engine response to suit your needs using the TOUCH version of the PEDALBOOSTER through a small wired console with a few buttons. Instead, if you order the CONNECT version of PEDALBOOSTER, you can choose the engine response you want directly from your smartphone! Just install the SELETRON APP, and that's it!

If you want to increase the power and torque of your engine and get a really sporty response that is adjustable to your liking, put both the CHIPBOX and PEDALBOOSTER kits in your cart. We will deliver both these high-quality kits directly to your home. They are both made in Italy but appreciated all over the world and arrived covered by warranty and complete with clear and simple instructions for a quick DIY installation. Everything can be returned to factory conditions quickly and without leaving any traces; a very clean job with maximum reliability!
