The Kia K5 2.0 T-GDI 245hp is a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine producing 245 BHP and 350 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 300 BHP and 450 Nm — a gain of around 55 BHP (22%) and 100 Nm (29%).
This engine has moderate remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
Considerations: Turbo petrol: fuel quality and cooling can influence repeatable performance.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
