Fiat Grande Punto 1.9 JTD Stage 1 Remap
On Fiat Grande Punto 1.9 JTD diesel engines a Stage 1 remap recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. No hardware is changed and the original software is backed up. The same engine is sold with different stock outputs across generations, so the gain depends on your version.
It depends on the generation and the stock output. 1.9 JTD engines with 120–130 bhp reach 160 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +40 bhp (1.9 JTD 120hp). Pick your version in the table below.

How a Stage 1 remap works on the Fiat Grande Punto 1.9 JTD
Stage 1 recalibrates rail pressure, injection and boost. With its durable block the engine responds well; the mid-range torque gain is clear. On 16-valve versions the condition of the swirl flaps affects the result.
Pre-remap checklist
- Swirl flap mechanism on 16-valve versions.
- EGR valve cleanliness.
- Boost leaks and variable-geometry vanes.
- Dual-mass flywheel and clutch.
