Yes it has a new bearing and to raise the redline you just need an ECU tune.

That's a good question - I'm curious to see the answer.

If Jerry has unlimited access to all of the TCU code, he theoretically should be able to customize a TCU tune to suit exactly whatever a client is looking for. Of course, such customization would likely cost more, as it's more labor-intensive than simply flashing the already-finalized product they have available.

Good, thats one less thing to get. I realize the ecu is altered to raise the rev limit. I am meaning whether the TCU changes gear at redline regardless of what redline is set to or whether it just bounces off the limiter (not ideal from my personal point of view).
I would pay a little more for that one feature but I guess if its a whole heap of work for them then it is not important. It sounds like the tune itself will make pure auto mode ideal anyway. With the stock setup I knock it into 1st when I am taking off around a corner. Otherwise it changes to 2nd mid corner (when not accelerating much) and then isn't really interested in going back to 1st when you floor it.

Does anyone know if they are working on remote tuning? I am guessing the eurotuner unit would not work with the TCU via the diagnostics port?

Yes they are, have pestered Jerry a couple of times. At the final stages of remote compatability was the last answer I recieved.

But,I have no idea if it will be the cable or eurotuner for the TCU tune. Also with your suggestion regarding the CPS, I went with the OEM one, I will give that a shot first, then try the aftermarket if no improvement. I dont know about NZ but autohauz is much cheaper than AU. Also quaife for Australasia is based in NZ mate, thats on my shopping list for next year. Cheers,

I don't even bother trying to find parts in NZ or Australia for that matter. I order everything from the US. Even if they are available locally (almost never) it is usually cheaper even with shipping and exchange rate to get them from the US.

Good to know about the LSD. Hope the CPS works for you. At $40 or so its worth a shot anyway.

just wondering, if u already have the ecu tune done, will the tcu tune add more hp on top of that or simply for the M mode

AMG3.2

I don't think the TCU tuning adds any horsepower, I could be wrong though.

Miniac

Very interested in finding out when this is will be ready to ship. Just need to change the oil in the supercharger first

tw2

It will not add any power. It will give you a faster car though, faster shift times etc lead to better use of the power you have.

Just bought the sc pulley kit + tunes with HE. Can't wait until they arrive.

Miniac

If I got the full setup would I be able to go to the shop in Plainfield and get my tcu tuned instead of sending it in?

loungn14

tcu has to go to texas, we only have 1 set of equipment to get it done. (its expensive)

Hello ! well I'm still new here after going through various topics on this forum even though they were posted ages ago
I have C32 AMG 03 stock, and I have been going with Jerry via email for quite a while before I proceed with my purchase of 65mm Pulley and ECU upgrade with amazing response from his side and I'm still working on acquiring the whole cost in order to proceed, but I have few concerns if you can help with it would be great !
- would ECU and pulley upgrades affect the stock engine heat exchange ? is it mandatory to upgrade my cooling system ?
- as the car is now pretty much 14 y o, would this tuning affect the Supercharger/engine lifespan ?
- will I face transmission complications ? as I previously changed my torque converter..

Thanks alot ! and remember it's my first post ever here :P so plz feel free to guide me

Regards,

At least a divided cooling system will help, more boost will mean more heat.

In theory the smaller pulley would cause the supercharger to spin faster so it may decrease its lifespan, but you will most likely not be on the rev limter full throttle all the time. There will probably no adverse effects.

Transmission on these cars is usually pretty solid, though I don't know the condition of yours particular. My guess it should be fine as the shop most likely checked the trans when replacing the converter.

tw2

I would upgrade the heat exchanger and get a new pump if it is old. The newest Bosch 010 is the way to go. Even with the least aggressive pulley you are still putting 18psi through the engine. Not a small amount. Transmission will be fine, they use it in the V12 biturbo engines. Of course transmission problems and wearing out can happen at anytime regardless, best to save some money away for these unfortunate occurrences.

Mostafa.mck

well thanks alot guys for the useful feedback ! i guess i will go for pump change at least, but in terms of separate heat exchange I will drop it since no EC here in my country and I'm doubtful that I find someone who can install it properly (unfortunately)
Happy holidays to all
cheers,

tw2

It is very easy to install. If you are slow, careful and follow the instructions you can easily install heat exchanger, pump and isolation kit. I wrote a DIY thread on how to do it a while back for the C32 https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...n-install.html
I like the PLM heat exchangers, you can get them shipped internationally from ebay.
