Why is AMR even being mentioned in this Thread? Obviously if we can afford a $1400 tune from Dinan, a couple hundred more we could easily buy the AMR. Two totally different applications and the AMR promoting nonsense needs to stop in every tuning thread. Not everyone wants to send off their ECU, I mean WTH, it's really getting annoying.

MrMeth90 - Please post your impressions, thanks!

lololol
i def will.
And I agree, we all know the results of each tune available. It’s been talked about 10000 times. The Dinan numbers were the numbers I was looking for for this vehicle. I’m sure I will enjoy the results.
Ill let you know what it gets here and I make time for the install.

subzero05

+1 totally agree!

MrMeth90

For those curious...the ship date has been delayed. Won’t ship until 10/30. I still don’t think it’s a guarantee at this point but I will keep you posted.

I am on the fence myself about choosing a tune and am very interested in the Dinantronics unit, it sounds very promising.

subzero05

yep I vote the Dinan unit as well.

I’ll likely go this route, based on initial user reports.

Gidrow

Without local support for a ECU tune it is either Dinan or BMS for me, the user feedback will help with my decision as well. I am also interested to know if Dinan has plans for a stage 2?

CClement

I'm also very interested in hearing the results of this!

DinanCars

No plans for a stage 2 at this time. More power would require hard part upgrades which don't seem to have any real demand (at least in any meaningful quantities) in the MB world. That said, depending on the success of the first couple MB products will indicate if its worthwhile to pursue hard parts further. We have been pretty surprised by the market in general thus far.

What the MB really needs are some good suspension mods but they are un-sexy and don't make you go vroom vroom so people tend not to care about them. Which is a shame since those can make or break a car's fun factor.

My apologies for not knowing this lingo. But what do you mean by hard parts exactly? Like pistons and connecting rods?

DinanCars

Physical parts in general; exhausts, intakes, intercoolers, turbos, etc. Stage 2 in Dinan land would typically be associated with an upgraded intake. Stage 3 with an intercooler/heat exhanger. Stage 4 with big turbos. Each hard part allows for more air to be flowed (or temperatures to be reduced in the case of stage 3) and hence more power to be made. Bit of an oversimplification but the point is the same.

CanadianLP

Thanks for the 4 stages explanation

Star4life

well sounds like you should get to work on stages 2-4 dinan

MrMeth90

Can anyone send me a picture of this part?
the install directions are not very clear. But they said it was an “easy” install.
Thanks in advance

it’s a 4 pin connector but I can’t find anything like that under the hood!!

MrMeth90

I figured out the install.
The installation guide doesn’t mention that the fuel rail sensor is underneath the “air box” it says underneath snorkel.
So after lifting the airbox I was able to find this sensor and bypass it.
The harness they provided for the fuel rail was slightly incorrect. I had to shave down some of the plastic in order for it to fit.
That sucked, but it’s okay.
The rest of the install was extremely easy.
I regret to say that I installed my snow tires yesterday so I am not trying to burnout the tires and fully enjoying the upgrade
I do feel the difference so far.
I wish I could give more feedback on the top numbers but until the summer tires go back on I won’t truely know.

Did you have a Sport? I noticed very little with it.

MrMeth90

its the elite dinantronics. Like the post states?

removedCFGaccount

I am asking you to compare the apparent effect.

MrMeth90

Never had it

Will you be installing it, or using a shop?

2017-c43-coupe

No dealers in my area so I will self-attemp and report. I think Im the third person to receive this unit

removedCFGaccount

I have one a mile away but the yelpers have crucified them.

MrMeth90

Mine needed alterations.
Let me know if you need any help.
One bit of advice, it says to remove snorkel, when you do this you will need to lift the airbox as well. Everything else is VeRY easy, but the connector for my fuel rail sensor was not right. If you find that piece won’t fit into place immediately the. Check the notch, you may need to alter it as I did.
