Dacia Sandero 0.9 TCE Stage 1 (90PS / 5-Speed Manual) - Reviews | EMS3150

This Stage 1 calibration for the Dacia Sandero 0.9 TCE transforms the factory tune into a lively street performer without sacrificing reliability or drivability. By carefully reshaping the turbocharger’s boost pressure curve, lag is virtually eliminated—spool is faster, response more immediate, and torque delivery feels seamless from idle through the mid-range. Fuel injection tables have been completely rewritten to optimize atomization and combustion efficiency at key RPM bands, smoothing out transitions between load points and reducing hesitation under load. Ignition timing has been advanced in safe margins, unlocking a noticeable 15–20 Nm bump in torque while maintaining safe cylinder pressures and temperatures. Load and smoke limiters are recalibrated to allow fuller throttle openings without excessive smoke, giving a cleaner exhaust note and more confidence under acceleration. Secondary systems such as EGR flow and DPF regeneration thresholds are adjusted to reduce soot accumulation and lengthen regeneration intervals, preserving emission compliance in everyday driving. Gearbox adaptation tables for the 5-speed manual transmission are retuned to match the enhanced torque curve, yielding crisper, more precise shifts and reduced shift shock. Whether crawling through city streets or merging onto highways, this map delivers a stronger, smoother, and more engaging drive—installed easily via bench or OBD tools supporting Continental EMS3150.
