The MG ZT 1.8i V4 160hp is a naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 160 BHP and 215 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 180 BHP and 270 Nm — a gain of around 20 BHP (12%) and 55 Nm (26%).
This engine has limited 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 moderate, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
