Chip tuning for Renault Captur / QM3 1.5 DCI EU5 90 hp ECU
Renault Captur / QM3 (2013 - I) 1.5 DCI EU5 90 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance group (Франция, 1899). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 90 to 110 hp (+20 hp, +22%) and torque from 220 to 250 Nm (+30 Nm). ECU — Bosch EDC17C42. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. A diesel built in 2013 — the Tricore ECU era; OBD flash works on most production revisions.
The Renault range covers compacts, saloons, SUVs, MPVs and commercial vehicles. Renault was a pioneer of compact common-rail diesels in Europe.
Within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, ECUs are partly standardised, so some files carry over between brands. 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. 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
How many horsepower does the Renault Captur / QM3 1.5 DCI EU5 90 hp reach after a remap?
