Chip tuning for Kia Ceed 1.6i 90 hp ECU
Kia Ceed (2012) 1.6i 90 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Hyundai Motor Group group (Корея, 1967). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 90 to 140 hp (+50 hp, +56%) and torque from 140 to 250 Nm (+110 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental SIM2K-140, Siemens/Continental SIM2K-141. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations · 2 ECU variants. The 2012 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.
GT is Kia's sporty trim package. Kia shares platforms and engines with Hyundai and Genesis. Kia is a Korean carmaker, part of the Hyundai Motor Group. 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. Low-output Hyundai petrol engines are naturally aspirated city units, so the gain is modest.
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. On older-generation Hyundais, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. Low-output Hyundai engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe. On naturally aspirated Hyundai engines, the main effect is on throttle response.
