Hyundai and Kia with Kefico SIM2K-510 – Software tuning is now available at GeneTiC Motorsport
Software Tuning for Hyundai and Kia Vehicles with Kefico SIM2K-510
The GeneTiC Motorsport Team
GeneTiC Motorsport has added support for the Kefico SIM2K-510 ECU found in Hyundai and Kia vehicles. For owners of compatible models, this opens up new possibilities for engine software tuning.
If you are considering tuning your vehicle, please send an inquiry to GeneTiC Motorsport. We will first examine the specific ECU and its software to determine exactly what options are available for your version.
What the new support offers
Two modes are available: OBD (with virtual read) and "OBD on Bench" (with an actual read, used when a virtual file is unavailable). Unlocking occurs automatically during the first actual read or write operation.
OBD tuning is performed via the vehicle's diagnostic port, while "Bench" tuning involves working with the ECU directly on a workbench. "Virtual Read" utilizes an original file from our database, selected based on the ECU's identification data. An "actual read" extracts the data directly from the ECU itself. For this reason, it is helpful to let us know if the vehicle’s software has already been modified. Applicable Models

This table shows a selection of applications. The model name alone does not guarantee compatibility; the specific ECU and software version must be verified.
Considering Chip Tuning?
When inquiring about chip tuning, please let us know what aspects of the vehicle's performance you would like to change. For example, are you interested in improving acceleration response, or do you have a specific power target in mind? This allows us to tailor the tuning to how you use your vehicle.
The vehicle's technical condition is also an important part of the discussion. If there are any warning lights, a noticeable loss of power, or previous software modifications, please mention these when making your inquiry. This helps determine whether diagnostics or repairs are required before proceeding.
Power and torque figures are discussed based on the specific engine and the chosen tuning setup. The availability of a new protocol does not guarantee identical results for every vehicle on the list.
Time Required
According to test , the estimated time is approximately 5 minutes for reading and 10 minutes for writing. These are distinct operations involving the vehicle's computer. The service includes preparation, diagnostic checks, and the actual tuning process. The turnaround time is determined once the specific work required for the vehicle is established.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know which specific computer (ECU) is installed?
Not necessarily. Simply provide the vehicle's make, model, year, engine type, and factory power output. If you have any existing diagnostic data, please include that as well. If needed, we will guide you on how to identify the specific ECU version.
How do I get a price quote?
Let us know what kind of modifications you are looking for, along with your vehicle's details. Once we verify compatibility, we will define the scope of work and provide a specific quote.
