Are you planning to have it tuned? I have it scheduled for tomorrow. It feels fairly fast to me stock but there are some great gains to be head with a tune.

The engine is definitely limited by its open deck design and cast rods higher up, but I think AMG could easily have pulled more power out without hitting their warranty thresholds

Huge gains. Personally I think AMG detunes it to help keep the hierarchy with the c63. If they mct’d this car, and launch controlled it, it would be beating c63’s off the line stock (it pretty much already does on non prepped, average launches) simply cause it’s AWD.

Just got my eurocharged stage 1 and k&n filters and my best time out of 5 was 4.39 break boosting at about 1800 rpm with tc off in 68 degrees (20 celsius) and 85% humidity. What was the weather like for you? I hear it affects performance. Wondering if its worth it now to do the downpipes and intakes.

To be quite honest I’m not very impressed by the Eurocharged Canada V4 Tune. So far I’ve raced a 2015 C400 with a kleeman piggyback tune that claims 420hp/430 torque and lost by a car off a dig. Also raced a 2018 C43 dme stage 1 tune claims 460hp and got smoked.

Interesting. They do have some quick cars in the leaderboards even in Canada. I might book a dyno timeslot to see how much power the car is putting down.

Thanks, those are great times. Are you just running a tune or anything more? Were the times achieved in cool temp?

i had v4 file before & my car was slower on it. Now i have a custom EC map and OPF delete which gained 20-25 whp and tq across the whole rev range.

i did several roll races vs my friends 2019 standard E63S wagon vs mine, and he barely pulled a full car length by 130mph. Up till then it was a bonnet then half a car ahead.

I'm not an expert but I believe the E400's (and C400's) actually have a different compression ratio in their engines and are overall designed for less performance. Similarly, the E400 is heavier and likely has different limits applied to the drive train which tunes cannot necessarily overcome.
Also, without launch control, in all of these cars the driver is one of the biggest factors. The fact people with the same tune get wildly different times shows this. So practicing your launch can definitely help.
Your best bet is to find another E400 or see if there are some E400 times posted with specific tunes to make sure yours is running as it should

Your car does not have an OPF. OPF's are particulate filters introduced on European cars exhaust I believe MY19 onwards. I don't think it applies to Canadian cars, but regardless it would not be on a 2016. If you want more power you can go stage 2 and get some catless DP's
