Chip tuning for Genesis G90 5.0 GDI 426 hp ECU

Genesis G90 (2015) 5.0 GDI 426 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Hyundai Motor Group group (Корея, 1967). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 426 to 440 hp (+14 hp, +3%) and torque from 520 to 540 Nm (+20 Nm). ECU — Siemens/Continental SIM2K-260. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2015 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.

The Genesis range comprises premium saloons (G70, G80, G90) and SUVs (GV60, GV70, GV80). Genesis is positioned as a Korean rival to Mercedes, BMW and Audi. Genesis is the premium sub-brand of the Hyundai Motor Group, launched in 2015 as a standalone brand. Hyundai's factory calibration is mainstream and leaves headroom for Stage 1. T-GDI is Hyundai's badge for its direct-injection turbo petrol engines. The Hyundai N-series are sporting turbo engines for the i30 N, Elantra N and Kona N.

On older-generation Hyundais, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. The Hyundai community in Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Within Hyundai Motor Group, ECUs are partly shared, so Hyundai files often work on Kia. Top Hyundai N engines sit at the power ceiling of the Korean performance segment. The N-series confidently reaches Stage 2 with hardware.
