Hey guys well im kind of surprised in a good way i guess lol. I dynoed the car last week and on a dynojet the car made 407 whp and 370 torque only mods done to the car are removal of charcoal filters and k&n replacements. I did purchase the car from a dealer in dallas with 5000 miles so im wondering if its been previously chipped?? We did a top speed run since and it reached 200+ MPH on the dynojet. Anybody have any idea if the c63 comes limited from the factory if yes what is the speed it is limited to?

Sorry about the iphone quality pics and video.

P31 car probably. Or it was tuned...


Probably a P31. I cant imagine how you could buy a CPO without the dealer flashing the ECU.

track_warrior

Any way to tell if it has the p31 package? It does have a lsd but the calipers are silver ??

propain

The invoice should have it on it. VIN also. Did you run a VIN check before buying for accidents? How much did you pay? I did notice the silver calipers. When you say "dealer" do you mean a MB dealer?

I think it might be tuned since its limited to 175 even if it has P31...plus p31 has red brakes.

btw your silvia is sick! big fan of those!

P31 has red brakes...

And no they wouldn't just flash the ECU for no reason... Why would they waste shop time for no reason?? Car gets looked over on a check list and is certified.

Looks like it is tuned.

One of you guys should dyno with stock filters then with K&N because I bet the differences would be negligible.

There is no question the ECU was modified in some way, if you are going above 174mph on the dyno. P31 would limit at 174 if I recall, only way to DE-limit is aftermarket. You likely have a tune.

Great numbers!

They would plug it in and check for codes ect. Also past codes from the previous owner. I'm sure its part of the CPO inspection process. Not getting matching firmware would be a reason to reflash it. To name a few.

Looks like the dealer just washed it and put it on the lot and didnt bother to inspect it due to low miles.

Merc63

Those cars are in and out of the dealer in a flash, they don't waste time messing with too much on it, especially at a busy dealer..

Plus the techs get paid an hourly rate per job, if they do it quicker, they make more money... so they are always looking to cut a few corners and get **** moving.

propain

Cutting the corner I agree.

Part of the CPO inspection however is (I looked it up) :

This is why I said it would have been re-flashed. Either way, he got lucky to get a CPO WITH a tune!

alrasheed1991

Tuned for sure

bluejae

now you need to find out who tuned it...

eurocharged is in houston, it could have been tuned by jerry on his occasional trips to dallas... might contact him and shoot him your vin#

track_warrior

Yeah thats what i am thinking, i did some research and it seems it was serviced at auto scope in dallas they are a eurocharged dealer. The autoscope guy told me he knows the car and he said it has a custom tune on it but said he could not give me more information without the previous owner giving him consent to do so. I just want to find out what kind of tune the car has.


Thanks man, here is a bonus pic of the silvia.

GREAT GOOGGLY MOOGGLY!!!!!

holy s|-|it.....i think thats my old car. my old car went to a dallas dealership. it had a eurocharged v3 tune and some kleemann manifolds. though they may have put the stock manifolds back on?

any more info on the car?

mine did have 5000 or so miles on it.

alrasheed1991

i think its your car haha

propain

Thats crazy...

Merc63

Nice to have a CPO'd car that had headers and a tune on it lol..

Just goes to show you never know what your getting..

Guy probably thought he was buying a stock car.

CELLryuu

also, i did service it at autoscope and it did have an lsd. man that is weird. i actually never wondered what ever happened to that car. i think i had the only pallidium silver 2011 c63 amg in dallas. i could be very wrong about that but i never knew of another one.

lol. it was a great car and ran like a top. glad someone else is enjoying it....if it turns out to be my old ride

and we have the same taste in cars.....i used to have an s14 silvia as well. had a sr20det red head engine dropped in it as well. one of my favorite cars i ever had. what a trip.

propain

Quite honestly I would return it knowing this info. No offense to the OP and I'm not trying to make him scared as I'm sure the car is fine but... well... Merc said it....


Cell pass on your VIN # to this guy in PM to verify.

CELLryuu

im out of town for the week at the moment. i do have the window sticker still. i cant verify it tell next week

propain

Was on your old registration card if you still have it also...

track_warrior

Black interior with dark wood? I purchased the car from straightline automotive in dallas apparently the dealer sold it to them and i traded in my q7 for it. This transaction was done around the 16th of december and the carfax showed you serviced it at autoscope so i called them up but they said it was chipped but could not verify any further information without the owners consent.

It all makes perfect sense now lol, i noticed the exhaust to be a little bit louder than a 2012 model i test drove at the dealer but said hum it might just be that they made the exhaust quieter for 2012, plus i also noticed a strong exhaust odor like when you run sport or no cats so that explains the manifold unless i have a leak in some place where they took the kleeman mani out. My other surprise was seeing the car top out at over 200+ MPH and putting down over 400whp. I also had a run with a 2012 c63 in town and beat him i was actually quite surprised lol. I wonder if there is an easy way of verifying if i do have the kleeman manifolds installed?

Ill send you a pm with the vin just to make sure it is your ex car. I find this to be great news since i was about to purchase the kleeman mani and was thinking about doing a tune and pulley lol. Guess i will save my money for some Vorsteiner goodies lol.

Even Money

You can't tell if the manifolds are Kleeman??
