Engine reprogramming in Morocco, we explain it all!
The start of the new school year in September is the perfect opportunity to share Shiftech's upcoming projects, and in particular an important milestone: the arrival on the African continent with the opening of a new centre in Marrakech. After Belgium, Luxembourg and several centres in France, Shiftech is opening its centre in Marrakech. The new centre focuses on engine reprogramming in Morocco, with a Rotronics 4-wheel drive power bench and engine mapping adapted to local conditions. The aim is clear: to offer Moroccan motorists the same quality standards as our Moroccan centres.

Engine reprogramming in Marrakech
The Moroccan automotive market is experiencing growing demand forpower boosting in Marrakech,engine mapping optimisation and high-performance vehicle preparation. The Shiftech Marrakech centre meets these needs with tailor-made solutions, identical in method and rigour to those applied in our European centres.
Adaptation to Moroccan fuels and climate
Our engine engineers adjust the engine maps in Morocco to ensure lasting performance. The quality of the fuel, with octane ratings (SP95/SP98) lower than in Europe, requires specific calibrations to ensure reliability. The heat of Marrakech calls for optimised management of intake air, turbo pressure and ignition advance. As E85 is not available, FlexFuel conversion is not offered for the time being. Finally, the older and more varied fleet of vehicles requires greater expertise in engine diagnostics and the choice of performance parts.
Example of savings: Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90
Among the most popular models in Morocco, the Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 is a perfect example of the benefits of Shiftech engine reprogramming. As standard, this petrol engine develops 90 bhp and 160 Nm of torque. After Stage 1 optimisation, power rises to 120 bhp (+30 bhp) and torque to 220 Nm (+60 Nm). These gains translate into sharper acceleration, better acceleration and more dynamic driving, while maintaining moderate fuel consumption. Thanks to a fuel map adapted to the local fuel and climate conditions in Marrakech, the Shiftech-optimised Sandero offers an ideal compromise between performance and reliability.
Data | Before reprogramming | After Stage 1 reprogramming |
---|---|---|
Power | 90 bhp | 120 bhp (+30 bhp) |
Torque | 160 Nm | 220 Nm (+60 Nm) |

A high-performance reprogramming centre
The centre is equipped with a Rotronics Autoscan 4WD power bench, identical to that used in Europe, which provides precise and reproducible measurements. The latest ECU reading and writing tools ensure reliable interventions, while proprietary maps developed by our engineers guarantee optimisation consistent with local conditions. Every engine reprogramming in Morocco is carried out to the same exacting standards as in Europe.
Services in Marrakech
in Marrakech, Shiftech offers a range of services dedicated to automotive performance and aesthetics. Drivers can choose from Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3 engine reprogramming, designed to safely improve power and torque. The centre also optimises automatic gearboxes and installs performance parts such as intakes, intercoolers and exhausts. Each vehicle can be evaluated on the test bench in Marrakech, which provides a detailed report on the gains achieved. Last but not least, the range also includes cosmetic services such as PPF protective films, ceramic treatments and tinted windows.
Sourcing performance parts
Because importing parts into Morocco is more complex, some orders may require extra time. To minimise waiting times, Shiftech groups orders together, guaranteeing the availability and authenticity of components.

Communication and openness
The centre is launching an Instagram Shiftech Marrakech to share local news: engine preparation results, dyno runs, events and behind-the-scenes information. The official opening will be marked by a competition, offering two enthusiasts the opportunity to discover the world of engine reprogramming in Marrakech at first hand.
Shiftech Marrakech has established itself as the new benchmark for engine optimisation in Morocco, combining technical expertise, innovation and results measured on the power bench.
