The Volvo S40 2.4 D5 163hp is a 2.4L turbocharged diesel engine producing 163 BHP and 350 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 205 BHP and 450 Nm — a gain of around 42 BHP (26%) 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: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.. Older diesel: injector, turbo and intake condition can affect results; ensure maintenance is up to date.
Fuel economy note: possible improvement with conservative driving.
