Chip tuning for Renault Captur / QM3 1.5 DCI EU6 90 hp ECU
Renault Captur / QM3 (2013 - I) 1.5 DCI EU6 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). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch EDC17C42, Bosch EDC17C84, Siemens/Continental SID310. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 3 configurations · 3 ECU variants. The 2013 generation — mid-generation diesels on the EDC17 platform with OBD reading support and no need for Bench.
Renault shares platforms and engines with Nissan, Dacia and Mercedes (through technical partnerships). dCi is Renault's signature designation for its turbo diesels.
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. Low-output Renault engines are city-segment units; Stage 1 is safe. On naturally aspirated Renault engines, the main effect is on throttle response.
