About this remap
Kia Ceed 1.6 T-GDI 201 bhp Stage 1 — what changes
The Kia Ceed 1.6 T-GDI 201 bhp (2019–present) leaves the factory at 201 BHP and 264 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.
Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the 1.6 T-GDI 201 bhp powertrain (petrol). The result is 254 BHP and 393 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
