What makes the Citroen DS3 special
Citroën DS3 tuning: the Racing and the THP family
The DS3 Racing was a limited run of roughly two thousand cars from 2010, rated at 207 hp and 275 Nm. With the GAN GT the DS3 Racing reaches 242 hp and 355 Nm. These are the stated gains for this engine type, not a dyno reading of your car.
Citroën DS3 tuning with a tuning box also covers the standard THP: 150 hp in 2010 and 2011, 156 hp from 2011 to 2014 and 165 hp from 2016 to 2018. The Racing is quoted at 207 hp, though some sources give 202 hp for the 2014 and 2015 cars. The Performance of 2016 to 2018 has 208 hp and 300 Nm. The catalogue lists the Racing with 200 and 207 hp.
From Citroën DS3 to DS 3
The DS3 is a three-door hatchback on the second-generation C3 platform, and a cabrio followed in 2012 and 2013. It reached the market in 2010, received a light facelift in 2014 and was built until 2019. In 2016 DS became a brand of its own; the car lost the Citroën chevrons and became the DS 3.
The DS 3 Crossback, the SUV that followed in 2019, is not in the catalogue. In Germany about a quarter of the DS3 registrations were diesel.
Petrol and diesel engines
The 1.4 VTi makes 95 hp from 2010 to 2013, and the catalogue lists it as 98 hp. The 1.6 VTi has 120 hp, and the PureTech 110 with 205 Nm arrived in 2014. The diesels range from the 1.4 e-HDi with 70 hp to the 1.6 BlueHDi with 120 hp; the BlueHDi 100 came in 2014. The diesels work with the GAN GT.
Citroen DS3 chip tuning: questions
DS3 Racing tuning: 207 hp or the 208 hp Performance?
The 207 hp figure is for the Racing from 2010. The Performance is not in the catalogue. The Racing is matched to the GAN GT, which is rated at up to 30% more power for turbo engines.
DS3 THP tuning: 150, 156 or 165 hp?
By year: 150 hp means 2010 or 2011, 156 hp means 2011 to 2014 and 165 hp means 2016 to 2018. Each is listed separately, and the GAN GT covers all three.
Citroën DS3 chip tuning for the 1.4 and 1.6 VTi: what does the GAN GA+ offer?
The two VTi petrol engines work with the GAN GA+, which is rated at up to 12% more power. The GAN GA+ also offers up to 15% lower fuel consumption with an economical driving style.
Tuning box or ECU remap for a DS3?
Unlike an ECU remap, which rewrites the factory software, a tuning box sits between the engine sensors and the ECU and adjusts their signals. Your manufacturer's warranty is preserved: the ECU software is never changed, and the module can be removed at any time. The module comes off in about a minute, and once it is removed no traces remain.
Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?
Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU remap without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
