Remapping the Lancia Phedra, 2.0 JTDm 136HP.
On the Lancia Phedra, the 2.0 JTDm 136HP responds to remapping mainly through extra BHP, broadening the usable rev range, with power up 21.3% to 165bhp and torque following at a gentler 17.2% to 375Nm.
Turbocharged diesels are the classic remap candidate, and this impressive improvement is felt mainly as a stronger mid-range, with less need to work the engine hard to access the extra performance.
Typical remap gains for the Phedra 2.0 JTDm 136HP
Standard vs Remapped
Standard vs Remapped
- Power: 136bhp standard, 165bhp after a Stage 1 remap.
- Torque: 320Nm standard, 375Nm 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 turbocharged engine, which typically means further headroom exists beyond Stage 1 if hardware is upgraded.
- As a diesel, the practical benefit is mainly felt as stronger pulling power for towing and motorway overtaking.
- These are Stage 1 figures only, achieved without any hardware changes.
Questions about remapping your Phedra 2.0 JTDm 136HP
How much power and torque does a Stage 1 remap add to the Lancia Phedra 2.0 JTDm 136HP?
A Stage 1 remap typically takes the Lancia Phedra 2.0 JTDm 136HP from 136bhp to around 165bhp, and torque from 320Nm to around 375Nm. This is a impressive gain achieved entirely through software, with no hardware changes required.
Is the Lancia Phedra 2.0 JTDm 136HP a good candidate for remapping?
Generally, yes: as a turbocharged engine it has the headroom to respond well to a quality remap, 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 Lancia Phedra?
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 Lancia Phedra 2.0 JTDm 136HP 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 Lancia Phedra 2.0 JTDm 136HP?
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 Lancia Phedra. For a diesel like this one, also check the DPF and EGR are in good working order, since a generic remap on a struggling emissions system is where problems tend to start.
What's the difference between a Stage 1 and Stage 2 remap for the 2.0 JTDm 136HP?
Stage 1 is software-only and is what the figures on this page reflect. Stage 2 builds on that, but on a turbocharged engine like this, Stage 2 usually adds further gains but requires supporting hardware such as an upgraded intake or exhaust, so it is a separate conversation with a tuner rather than an automatic next step.
Will remapping my Lancia Phedra 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 2.0 JTDm 136HP, expect a likely premium increase, and it is worth getting a quote from a specialist modified-vehicle insurer before booking the remap itself.
