Chip tuning for Kia Picanto - Morning 1.2i MPI 84 hp ECU

Kia Picanto - Morning (2017) 1.2i MPI 84 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Hyundai Motor Group group (Корея, 1967). A petrol engine built in 2017 — a Tricore platform without strong protection; OBD access works.

Kia is positioned alongside Hyundai, with an emphasis on styling and a sporty character. 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. 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. On naturally aspirated Hyundai engines, the main effect is on throttle response. Low-output Hyundai engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe.
