Hi All,

I'm going to get the UPSOLUTE Chip put into my car, but I need to find out the ECU number. Where is the ECU located in the car?

Thanks

 

how much hp increase is the upsoulute chip?

 

and more importantly how will it effect the rest of your systems?

price?

 

Hi Rincewind,

I was told from a guy from Upsolute that it will increase at least 30HP. ON the Upsolute Website Database, it shows it will increase up to 40HP, but he said it safe to say it will make 30HP increase.. Not bad...

It costs $370US installed... I live in Vancouver, but I'm gonna go drive down to Seattle to get mine installed..

Oh ya, it also increases Torque by another 30-40ft/lbs.

All I need to do is find my ECU and BOSCH number if I can find the bloody thing..

 

wow not bad

how will the chip effect the rest of your systems tho?

 

what i mean exactly is how will your trans be effected by trying to handle the new hp increase. etc. along with any other possible systems prematurely wearing faster then norm cause of the chip upgrade

 

Well the Chip itself is undetectable by MB service so your warranty will not be affected..


All cars that leave the factory are detuned.... The chips just allows the car to run at normal settings.... like Trottle response, Higher Boost if its a kompressor, and also tunes the timing...

It will hardly wear out the tranny and engine. If you're wanting to keep the car for like 300K miles, then don't get the chip.. but if u're willing to sacrifice 10% overall life of the engine go for it.. get the chip..

All other operations of the car will remain normal...

Remember, for all normally aspirated engines the HP gain won't be as big.. Probalby only 8-10HP Max

 

8-10hp is still good for only 300 bucks.

i removed my spare tire today and woo my car feels faster!

 

will the ecu remove the 155mph limiter on the car

 

not that i'd ever go that fast of course

just wondering

 

Actually that is a good question. I do not know at this point if it does. I'll post that question to Upsolute to answer.

Just add me on MSN if u have one..

i want to remove my spare too, im just afraid of getting a flat...then what would i do?

 

oh btw rince, your car is very very very clean. even though it's stock, it looks better than mine for some reason!

 

just clean it up real good with a wash, polish, wax.

park it in some nice area with a decent backdrop and take pics with a good camera

 

18x8 amg mono's soon!

and amg c36 exhaust/muffler/resonator!

 

ok sooooo...what do u do if ya get a flat?

 

1-888-for-mercedes (free road side assistance)

just tell them you have a flat and dont have your spare on you
and you need X size wheel + tire.

or maybe have them pick you up, drive you home, load the spare, drive back, and have them fix it

 

my batterry died once when the car was in my garage at home
and mercedes road side assistance drove to my house... the guy was there in like 5 mins and when i asked how he got there so fast... he was like oh i just put in your address on my command unit and it told me where to go!

 

thats ****in sicc, but 1-888-for-mercedes is a lot of numbers can you break it down for meeeeeeeehhh???

 

look in your manual u should have a sticker or card that tells you to call 1888formercedes. if u didnt know its free roadside assistance that covers everything from flats, towing, jump start, low gas, etc. for the life of the car...

 

The UPSolute is great!!

Good choice, are you going to Bahn Brenner to get it?

If so check out their Corrado, that thing is fusking sweet!!!


John.
