V1 Integrated into rearview = $3500

I'm a little surprised the ECU Tune only gives 12 torque and 10HP.

Good find! I hopeful this parts list will continue to grow.

 

not MAC friendly lol

 

 

I am using a mac right now

 

ECU tune 10HP for $1300?!!!!! that's not even 5% increase......... not worth it.

 

I figured it out for macs..It's not firefox friendly (super lame). It works in Safari though.

 

super rip off mods

$900 for braided brake lines and new brake fluid? wtf

 

I heard they kiss you first and cuddle after

 

No reach-around?

The ECU upgrade sounds about right for a naturally aspirated engine. I think the tune on these cars is really good form the factory. One thing I notice about chipping a non-turbo is the throttle response is improved.

 

That's like half the gains for twice the cost I'm getting from Speed Innovation ECU tune....

18HP and 24TQ. List price is $699 .

I'm in a group buy for $490 installed.

Also supposed to get 15% better gas mileage and yeah, throttle response is vastly improved.

 

Ya, but they are special racing brakelines.

 

hey AZN

didn't someone said the POWERCHIP ones is cheaper and increase up to 20HP?

 

for my special racing c300

 

Was it cheaper? I thought the Powerchip more expensive? Link the thread?

Edit: From Powerchip website...

------------------------------

In standard form, the C300 3.0 produces 228 hp and 221 lb.-ft.

Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to between 241 hp and 246 hp, and it's torque to between 234 lb.-ft and 238 lb.-ft.

The price of the Powerchip is USD $690.00.


-----------------------------

so gains of 13-18hp, 13-17torque. Less than the ECU tune and more expensive. But at least it's a chip and you don't have to worry about dealership reflashing over your ECU. Speed Innovation does provide protection against that though and will reflash for free.

 

AZN

just talked to BEN at powerchip. he said their chip will get the numbers up to 284HP and 273 ft lb. is that higher or lower than Speed Inn? He also said he will do group buy discount.

 

hmmm, that's way higher than the ecu tune and pushing C350 range. That's not the advertised gains on the powerchip site though. +56hp +52torque is an AMAZING gain from this though. I'd like to know what kind of pricing and if that's including install cause if it's under the $690 range...$12/hp = win

 

those are c350 numbers.

 

you know, as I was posting, I considered that it might be. Otherwise, I'd be doing that immediately

 

hey AZN

I just talked to EUROREV, who works with Speed Inn. I can get a cheaper group buy price. $450 for more than 5 people. you wanna go with me?

 

that website is rip off

 

what website?

 

ecu tuning = void warrenty

 

i did with my E320 when i 1st got it. MB dealer never detected it.
are they able to? And even if they detected it. can we just deny we ever did anything to it?

 

Not necessarily. Some dealerships will be quick to toss every blame on the ecu tune when trying to claim warranty, but I've been asking around and one of the more mod friendly dealerships won't give you crap about it.
