i30 1.6 CRDI 90 HP (EDC16C39 / SW 10SW028687) – Stage 1 – +37 HP

The Hyundai i30 with the 1.6 CRDI 90 HP engine is one of the most popular diesel engines in the compact segment.
Known for its durability and economy, it is often too relaxed to drive.
In fact, this engine hides enormous potential that can be safely exploited thanks to individual modification of the Bosch EDC16C39 ECU software .


What did we gain after the modification?

Already in series production the unit shows a slight excess of power compared to the manufacturer's declaration.
After individual tuning of the ECU (SW 10SW028687) we obtained a stable and fully safe increase:

Parameter In series After modification Increase
Power (hp) 90 hp 127 hp +37 hp
Torque (Nm) 235 Nm 305 Nm +70 Nm

The effect is felt immediately – the car accelerates more smoothly, responds faster to the gas pedal and maintains better elasticity from just 1,800 rpm.
By optimizing torque maps, fuel doses and boost pressure, driving becomes more comfortable without increasing fuel consumption.


EDC16C39 ECU modification process (SW 10SW028687)

The Bosch EDC16C39 controller is a classic, proven control system, widely used in Hyundai / Kia vehicles.
In this project we performed:

  1. 🔍 Initial diagnostics – checking logs, injection corrections, boost pressure and EGT parameters.

  2. 💻 Reading ECU file in bench mode,

  3. ⚙️ Stage 1 file processing – proprietary calibration of moment maps, SOI, DOF, LDR and AFR,

  4. 📈 Dynomax / Dynomet dynamometer test – confirmation of stability and effects.

Thanks to individual ECU calibration, the power increase was achieved without exceeding the factory EGT and boost limits , which guarantees full safety of the engine and turbocharger.


Effects after Stage 1 modification

  • 🚗 Much better flexibility at low revs,

  • ⚡ Significantly stronger mid-range,

  • 🔧 Stable operation and no smoking,

  • ⛽ Possible fuel consumption drop when driving calmly,

  • 💨 More enjoyable, more dynamic driving characteristics.


For tuners and workshops – file processing and Hyundai file service

We offer chip tuning files and a full online file service for workshops and tuners working with Hyundai / Kia.

  • 💾 Ready Stage 1 / Stage 2 / ECO files for EDC16C39 controllers,

  • ⚙️ Individual processing of ECU files ,

  • 🧠 Log analysis and corrections for a specific copy,

  • ⏱️ Completion time: 30–40 minutes ,

  • 📊 Files tested on Dynomax / Dynomet dynamometers.

We prepare each file manually – without ready-made drivers, while maintaining safety and full repeatability of effects.
