About the remap

Stage 1 optimization for the Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132hp increases power from 132 to 144 hp (+12 hp, +9%). Naturally aspirated petrol engines have limited scope for power gains, but optimizing ignition and fueling maps delivers a smoother power delivery, more responsive throttle, and a noticeably more pleasant driving experience.

The remap is performed on the Bosch MED17.9.8 ECU via the OBD2 diagnostic port – no ECU removal required. Results are verified with a dynamometer measurement.

Every vehicle undergoes full diagnostics before and after the remap. We keep a backup of the original ECU calibration and guarantee the option to revert to stock settings at any time. JVK PRO is a professional chip tuning service in Riga with 16 years of experience.
