Chip tuning for Renault Magnum 480 DXi12 480hp (353kW) 2250Nm ECU
Renault Magnum (I) 480 DXi12 480hp (353kW) 2250Nm — mass-market diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance group (Франция, 1899). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 480 to 550 hp (+70 hp, +15%) and torque from 2250 to 2590 Nm (+340 Nm).
Renault is a French carmaker, founded in 1899. dCi is Renault's signature designation for its turbo diesels. Renault was a pioneer of compact common-rail diesels in Europe. Renault diesel engines are also used in Nissan, Dacia and Mercedes (the Citan/Vito run Renault engines).
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. Top-tier Renault Sport engines sit at the power ceiling of the French mass market.
