C43 AMG 2017 Chip Performance ECU
Hi guys,
I just bought a new C43 AMG coupe 2017 and want to chip the ECU to increase original HP and Torque, I know there is a lot of Performance shop outside but could you tell me which one is the best quality/price ratio performance kit ? I'm in Montreal and want a DIY kit that I can install myself if possible
regards

Like with any high performance vehicles and tunes, to optimize the maximum performance, higher octane gas is a plus, but not necessary. Higher the octane, easier for combustion. We have customers running on 91 right now for daily usage and switch to 100 octane on car runs/track and the vehicle performs well.

Brabus is a global brand, so they build based upon what the world offers. Just the US, we get lower octane gas, kinda crappy.

Thanks for your response Speedriven1, when I say DIY, I mean I want, if possible, a plug and play system like the Barbus one or RaceChip Ultimate or another system ... what do you mean by send the ECU to a Tuner ? I have to remove it from the car and send it to a shop ? how long it takes for that ? I'm in Montreal, Canada and I presume of course that I can't drive my car until that period
please give me some details, improvement ? costs ?

I overnighted it to them and they had it programmed and shipped out the same day they received it, so my car was only down for 2 days.

JB1 is what you're looking for.
I've had it on my 450 since June/July and put about 10K km on it.
It has worked flawlessly for me. I can have it on/off in 10 mins including the open hood, lock car for 5 mins before unplugging everything. Just don't try to do it after driving since everything is quite hot in there.
Will you be getting the power of a true tune, of course not, but that is to be expected at a fraction of the cost.
Will you feel a difference? Absolutely.
Stock, everything is too smooth. The car is fast but there is no drama, no push.
With the JB1, you get a bit of push into your seat.
It has gone through summer and winter so far, no issues.

Can anyone here confirm which tune does and does not eliminate the crackle and pops in S+ for the C43/450? I've heard that a handful of tunes have done so. It's the only thing holding me off on the purchase. That and the 5yr prepaid maint i have with merc that will flash my ECU to stock every year...unless one tuner offers free shipping on retunes...

Our tune does not eliminate the crackle and pops. We love it to much to get rid of it.

The JB1 word in my previous post is the link.
I trust the company enough. They've been around long enough in the BMW and then VW world which is where I come from. I haven't come across anything negative to put me off of their products.
Bottom line is, OP asked for a DIY kit which at this point his only option is piggy back. There are no tune at home kits. ECU needs to be removed and sent out which for someone living in Canada means long downtime or expensive shipping costs.
I have been using this for awhile now and put enough KMs on it with 0 issues. I've been to the dealership multiple times as well and I've removed it easily.
Crackles and pops are still there. I run 91 octane. I can switch to map 2 and run 93 if I wanted to.
The unit cost me under $500. How much is that brabus kit?

That route serves a purpose if you are looking for the absolute cheapest solution (which is totally fine) As far as quality and maximum performance an ECU tune cannot be beat. Also ECU removal is not complicated it takes literally 2 minutes and as I mentioned, my car was only down for 2 days while my computer was getting programmed and shipped. As far as expenses I liked choosing AMR because they pay to overnight the ECU back to you, so you only pay to ship it to them. I know the OP wanted a DIY kit, but it was worth mentioning the options. There is nothing wrong with taking the piggyback route, but just know what you are getting as well as what the other options provide you with in comparison.

Keep in mind there's also the USD/CAD conversion for OP which bumps up the cost quite a bit.
Anyways, to answer OP's question, if you want a piggy back tune, I highly recommend the JB1.

From my experience it does not void warranty. I have gone in for service and updates and have had no issue. I do not know if all tunes are like that or if it is just AMR. Also it does not effect the life of the car because it is running at maximum efficiency. This is why gas mileage increases and so on and so forth because it is running more optimal than the factory file. Again I do not know if other tunes are this way, I just know how mine is set up. When I did my research though, I noticed other companies were just focused on the power number and how much boost they could run. What made me choose AMR is because they look at every aspect of how the car drives and improve it. Just casual cruising feels great and it still makes an immense amount of power lol
