Dacia Sandero (2008 - I) 1.4 MPI 75 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance (через Renault) group (Румыния, 1966). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 75 to 80 hp (+5 hp, +7%) and torque from 112 to 120 Nm (+8 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental EMS3132, Siemens/Continental SIRIUS 32. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations · 2 ECU variants. A petrol engine built in 2008 — the era before widespread firmware encryption, OBD flash without complications.

Dacia is a Romanian carmaker, founded in 1966 and owned by Renault since 1999. Dacia uses Renault engines and platforms. Dacia positions itself as an affordable alternative to Renault — the same quality at a lower price. Low-output Dacia petrol engines are naturally aspirated city-segment units. Dacia uses Renault's TCe turbo-petrol engines.

Within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, ECUs are standardised, so Dacia files often work on Renault. The Dacia community in Eastern Europe and the CIS enjoys a large library of ready-made Stage files. Low-output Dacia engines are city-segment units; Stage 1 is safe.
