MB-BOB

I don't understand this "locked" business. As noted before, my completely stock 2001 C320 revs all-the-way to 6,000 rpm, with or without dyno mode engaged. And there is HP in play, as it continues to pull between 5,000 and 6,000 (not alot, but some).

Are you telling me the 2005 3.2L is restricted to 5,000 rpm? Or that it is restricted to 5,000 rpm when at a standstill (not in gear)? I'll admit I've had no reason to rev it that high sitting still in the driveway.

The 3.2L is a pretty ubiquotous engine, used in practically every MB chassis (in Europe) through 2005. So there's nothing special about it. Not trying to argue. I'm just trying to understand.

dyno mode? is that where the esp and abs is disabled? where you can press the reset stalk/button til it beeps then shuffle through the steering wheel menu??

Nick, Jose,

I guess you guys don't have the dyno charts for the C230 M271 yet otherwise you would have posted them, but out of your experience can you estimate the gains could be roghly the same 20 hps at 6000 rpms? Or it would be more like 10-12 throughout the entire range?

Nick@JleviSW

You are looking at about 10-15HP gain. We can also tune it based on whatever mods you have so as to maximize any gains.

Where exactly in the Bay Area are you guys located? I wanna drop by sometime soon maybe.

Nick@JleviSW

We are located in the South Bay near Saratoga however, we don't have a retail location at this time. We are in the process of opening up our new facility this spring.

advans

thanks drex!


also, back to topic, nick/jon, did you guys recieve any east coasters interested yet.

Nick@JleviSW

A few yes but none of the GB participants.

Does anyone know how easy/hard it is to remove and replace the ECU? I'm not in CA, currently in DC.

mig888

Of which engine?

tommy

No, it's pretty easy. You just have to have to stop your windshield washer arms halfway, so that they're pointing straight up, to access your ecu. Then it's just unplugging harnesses, and you're done - piece of cake.

Nick@JleviSW

Yep it takes about 10-15 minutes max and we can guide you through it!

tommy

The only real problem I've had is that is with my clamshell (the two pieces of metal that come together to encase the ecu), the closing tabs are starting to come apart. Now, I've got a 2002, so they may have changed how the clamshells come together (VWs use screws, like a normal company would), but that's an issue - I'm probably going to have to get a new clamshell if I do any more ecu tuning.

That also means that after you open it up, it's very hard to get the ecu package to look virginal again, which might be an issue for those still under warranty, if that's a concern.

EDIT: Nick, also you should fix your link in your siggy - the "http://" is listed twice, which is leading to an error.

$700 for the C32? Where did you get this price?

mig888

That's a group buy price - a 25 head minimum I believe for the east coast only :\.

ultraman206

thx mig888. east coast only? damn.

advans

yeap, apparently i'm trying to gather a minimum of 25 east coast heads.

Nick@JleviSW

It appears difficult to get 25 people all setup. If you want immediate gratification, we are running a 10% off special on Speed Innovation software.

eunosracr

What kind of gains should be seen on a 2006 C230 v6?

Nick@JleviSW

You should expect ~15HP increase.
