Chip tuning for Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDI 90 hp ECU

Kia Ceed (2007) 1.6 CRDI 90 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Hyundai Motor Group group (Корея, 1967). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 90 to 145 hp (+55 hp, +61%) and torque from 235 to 325 Nm (+90 Nm). ECU — Bosch EDC16C39. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2007 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.

The Stinger is Kia's performance saloon with a turbo V6. The EV6 is Kia's flagship electric crossover, built on the E-GMP platform. GT is Kia's sporty trim package. The Hyundai diesel range is shared with Kia and Genesis within the group.

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. Low-output Hyundai engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe. On naturally aspirated Hyundai engines, the main effect is on throttle response.
