Kia Venga 1.6 CRDi Stage 1 Remap
On Kia Venga 1.6 CRDi 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. 1.6 CRDi engines with 115–128 bhp reach 145 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +30 bhp (1.6 CRDi 115hp). Pick your version in the table below.

How a Stage 1 remap works on the Kia Venga 1.6 CRDi
Stage 1 recalibrates rail pressure, injection duration, boost and the torque limiter. Variable-geometry turbo versions respond particularly well; low-rev torque fills out noticeably. On automatic and DCT cars the torque limit is respected.
Pre-remap checklist
- DPF load and regeneration history.
- EGR valve and intake soot.
- Boost leaks and actuator.
- AdBlue system on Smartstream versions.
