Petrol · 2.0 litre · Maidstone, KentKia Optima 2.0T remap255 to 285 bhp with Stage 1 software. The figures, the parts and the other engines in this car, on one page.
A Stage 1 remap takes the Kia Optima 2.0T from 255 to 285 bhp and from 350 to 420 Nm: 30 bhp and 70 Nm more, on standard hardware. On a turbocharged petrol the gain comes from boost, fuelling and ignition timing recalibrated within the limits of the standard turbo and injectors. It is done in a visit at our Maidstone workshop and the original file is kept, so it can go back to standard.
