The Kia Carnival 2.9 CRDi 185hp is a 2.9L turbocharged diesel engine producing 185 BHP and 343 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 210 BHP and 440 Nm — a gain of around 25 BHP (14%) and 97 Nm (28%).
This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with gains weighted towards torque — you will notice the difference most strongly in mid-range pulling power and in-gear acceleration. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
Considerations: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
Fuel economy note: possible improvement with conservative driving.
