Chip tuning for Kia Rio 1.4 CRDI 77 hp ECU
Kia Rio (2017) 1.4 CRDI 77 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Hyundai Motor Group group (Корея, 1967). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 77 to 115 hp (+38 hp, +49%) and torque from 240 to 300 Nm (+60 Nm). A diesel built in 2017 — the Tricore ECU era; OBD flash works on most production revisions.
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. The Hyundai community in Eastern Europe and the CIS does a large volume of diesel chip tuning.
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.
