2003 C230 Kompressor Coupe, 2003 E320, 2003 Chevy Corvette Z06
Look at what I made Thanks to Jon from SD Tint for the idea The rig is sick and only cost me 5 bucks









What you will need:

3/4" PVC pipe
2 U-Bolts
4 Wingnuts
1 1/4"-20 screw (to mount camera)
1 1/4" nut

Mark holes where U-bolts will clamp around your headrests, then drill. Drill mount bolt hole when pipe is clamped into headrest save you the hassle of trying to get the camera straight. Then paint it or whatever to make it look clean

LATEST MOD ! ! !


POWERCHIP ! ! !






The car is uber times better It was tuned to all my mods so I definitely feel the the effects of the header back system I got Tons more torque, no exact number but I would now like to to dyno it to see the numbers. The final drive feels like it was tweaked a bit because my gears seem to be a hell of a lot longer than they were before. The car pulls much harder and pulls constant throughout the power band which is what ive always wanted out of this car Overall I am a very satisfied customer with Powerchip Its still adapting so I gotta drive it around some more but right now I am very pleased with the results

did you get this done in person?

anyway that they work remotely?

since we both have headers, exhaust and sprintbooster on our manual 2003's... maybe i can get the same tuning that you have... hmmm

edit: their website says:

"In standard form, the C230K Sport Coupe 1.8 produces 253 hp and 139 lb.-ft.

Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to between 273 hp and 278 hp, and it's torque to between 150 lb.-ft and 152 lb.-ft."

that doesn't sound right

I think those numbers are if you were to set the engine to conform with 93 octane as opposed to 91. I really want to dyno and see the numbers on paper, but for sure there has been vast improvement in performance for sure when driving it Especially with the headers, the numbers should be much greater than with a m271 without the headers with this tune. The shop I took it too removed the ecu and sent it to Powerchip and there they tuned it according to the list of mods I gave them. So they set the fuel ratio accordingly to run a little more rich (I was running a little too lean to run efficiently )

hmm...i think it works for the square looking interior of the 201, 202, 210, etc even the 204, but doesn't look right in the 203. very cool tho.

hmmm. . . perhaps. . . but i would really have to design it well to go around the jackpoints and cut holes out so my puddle lights will shine through. I wonder if it would look right since the side skirts are kinda rounded

Just had a dyno night with SD Tint I think im pretty happy with the results with an estimation of about 110 rwhp to go off of :drive:

Here is a video:



Here is the dyno spread sheet:



I gained more power with the K&N air filter out of the car :ohnoes:
