Remapping Data - Engine Remap Performance and Torque Gains

Remapping the Iveco Daily (2016), 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP.

On the Iveco Daily (2016), the 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP responds to remapping mainly through extra BHP, broadening the usable rev range, with power up 25% to 145bhp and torque following at a gentler 18.8% to 380Nm.

As a naturally aspirated petrol, gains are more modest by nature, and this impressive improvement is best appreciated as sharper throttle response rather than a transformed power band. These figures apply to 2016 models.

  • Power: 116bhp standard, 145bhp after a Stage 1 remap.
  • Torque: 320Nm standard, 380Nm after a Stage 1 remap.
  • This is a power-led gain: BHP increases by more than torque, widening the usable power band rather than boosting low-end pull.
  • This is a naturally aspirated engine, so headroom beyond Stage 1 is limited compared with a turbocharged equivalent.
  • As a petrol engine, the practical benefit is mainly felt as sharper throttle response and a broader power band.
  • These figures apply specifically to 2016 models.
  • These are Stage 1 figures only, achieved without any hardware changes.

Questions about remapping your Daily 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP

How much power and torque does a Stage 1 remap add to the Iveco Daily (2016) 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP?

A Stage 1 remap typically takes the Iveco Daily (2016) 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP from 116bhp to around 145bhp, and torque from 320Nm to around 380Nm. This is a impressive gain achieved entirely through software, with no hardware changes required.

Is the Iveco Daily (2016) 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP a good candidate for remapping?

Generally, yes: as a naturally aspirated engine its headroom is more limited, though a well-executed remap can still sharpen throttle response, and the impressive gain shown here reflects that. The main caveats are condition, not the engine itself, a healthy service history, no outstanding fault codes, and (for diesels) a clear DPF and EGR are what actually determine whether this particular car is ready for a remap.

Will remapping affect the warranty on my Iveco Daily (2016)?

A manufacturer can only void the parts of a warranty that the remap directly affects, not the entire vehicle, under the Consumer Rights Act and EU Block Exemption principles. In practice, on a Iveco Daily (2016) 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP this usually means engine and transmission-related claims are the ones worth discussing with a reputable tuner before booking.

What should I check before booking a remap for my Iveco Daily (2016) 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP?

Before booking, confirm the tuner uses a custom or bespoke file rather than a generic off-the-shelf map, ask whether they do a pre-remap health check, and check service history and mileage on your specific Iveco Daily (2016).

What's the difference between a Stage 1 and Stage 2 remap for the 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP?

Stage 1 is software-only and is what the figures on this page reflect. Stage 2 builds on that, but on a naturally aspirated engine like this, the scope for a Stage 2 remap is limited, since there is little forced induction to work with, so it is a separate conversation with a tuner rather than an automatic next step.

Will remapping my Iveco Daily (2016) affect my insurance?

Yes, always, a remap is a modification and must be declared to your insurer regardless of size. Given this impressive gain on the 120 2.3 Euro-6 116HP, expect a likely premium increase, and it is worth getting a quote from a specialist modified-vehicle insurer before booking the remap itself.
