Kia Sportage Stage 1: 140 hp → 181 hp

Factory output for the Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi VGT is 140 hp and 305 Nm. A Stage 1 remap targets 181 hp and 404 Nm — 41 hp (+29%) and 99 Nm (+32%).

Those are the figures we work to on this engine. They are a starting point, not a promise: the number we hand back is the one your car makes on our dyno, measured before and after on the same day, in the same conditions.

What 41 hp changes on the road

A turbocharged petrol responds to a remap mostly through boost and ignition timing. Taking the 2.0 CRDi VGT from 140 hp to 181 hp, with torque from 305 Nm to 404 Nm, sharpens throttle response and shortens the gap between asking for power and getting it — the car stops feeling like it is thinking about it first.

Gains of this size (+29%) are normal for this kind of engine on pump fuel, with no hardware changes.

What Stage 1 involves on a Kia Sportage

We read the ECU, log the car as it stands, and put it on the dyno to confirm the 140 hp baseline — a tired or faulty engine gets diagnosed before it gets mapped, not after.

The calibration is written for your car, not pulled from a file library. We adjust fuelling, ignition timing and boost pressure, then re-run the dyno to verify the 181 hp and 404 Nm figure and check knock, lambda and temperatures under load.

Turnaround is same-day for most cars. Stock file is archived, so the car can go back to standard whenever you want.
