Renault Clio (2023 - V (II)) 1.0 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 120 hp (+30 hp, +33%) and torque from 160 to 220 Nm (+60 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental EMS3141, Siemens/Continental EMS3161. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 4 configurations · 2 ECU variants. A 2023 petrol engine — the latest era of encrypted firmware; OBD access is available on production units, Bench on sport models.

Renault shares platforms and engines with Nissan, Dacia and Mercedes (through technical partnerships). Renault's petrol range is shared with Nissan and Dacia within the Alliance. Modern Renault Sport models usually require specialised tooling. Renault Sport RS uses high-output turbo engines for its performance variants.

On modern Renault models, Bench is often needed for the top models. 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.
