Chip tuning for Renault Captur / QM3 0.9 TCE 90 hp ECU
Renault Captur / QM3 (2013 - I) 0.9 TCE 90 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance group (Франция, 1899). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 90 to 105 hp (+15 hp, +17%) and torque from 135 to 165 Nm (+30 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental EMS3125, Siemens/Continental EMS3140, Siemens/Continental EMS3150, Valeo V50.1. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 4 configurations · 4 ECU variants. A petrol engine built in 2013 — a Tricore platform without strong protection; OBD access works.
Renault is a French carmaker, founded in 1899. Low-output Renault petrol engines are naturally aspirated city-segment units; the gain is modest. Renault's petrol range is shared with Nissan and Dacia within the Alliance. Renault Sport RS uses high-output turbo engines for its performance variants.
On older-generation Renault models, Stage 1 is done via OBD without bench. The Renault community in France and Eastern Europe offers a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, ECUs are partly standardised, so some files carry over between brands. On naturally aspirated Renault engines, the main effect is on throttle response. Low-output Renault engines are city-segment units; Stage 1 is safe.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Stage 1 effect on the Renault Captur / QM3 0.9 TCE 90 hp?

What does a Stage 1 remap of the Renault Captur / QM3 0.9 TCE 90 hp include?
Stage 1 is a software optimization of the factory ECU firmware of the Renault Captur / QM3 with no hardware changes. The injection, boost, ignition-timing and torque maps are reprogrammed. The gain is +15 hp with no hardware changes.
Is Stage 1 worth doing on the base Renault Captur / QM3?
Yes, Stage 1 on the low-output Renault Captur / QM3 0.9 TCE 90 hp delivers a moderate but genuine gain — without overstressing the hardware. On base naturally aspirated engines the effect is felt mainly as improved throttle response and a stronger mid-range.
What is Stage 2 for the Renault Captur / QM3 0.9 TCE 90 hp?
Stage 2 for the Renault Captur / QM3 0.9 TCE 90 hp is Stage 1 plus hardware changes: a downpipe, a larger intake and a performance intercooler. The gain is considerably higher, but it requires professional component selection.
Which control units is the Renault Captur / QM3 0.9 TCE 90 hp built with?
