this, even though i don't plan to do any mods, it's just interesting to see.

Xtyper,

Spit the beans man!!! you got the whole forum eagerly waiting for the results/updates on your MHP tune. The last thing we heard from you is that you were getting your MHP tuned ECU back on Monday (delayed already from last week). Let us know man.

My ECU just arrived back this morning. There was a slight delay because Andy noticed a loose connector on my ECU board and was nice enough to take the time to fix it for me.

As for the results, I haven't had a chance to install it yet since I was stuck at work late today, but will definitely do so tomorrow. Once I get some seat time, I intend to write a full review of the new tune covering driveability, shifting, and power. I am also still planning to hit the drag strip again this Friday night at Famoso to see if I can better my last run, despite the forecasted worse DA.

woow impressive lets see the results !

and thanks for doing this !

xtyper

No problem, glad to help the community make informed decisions.

And if anyone out there in SoCal (I'm in San Fernando Valley) has a Vbox and is willing to meet up so I can use it for some comparo 60-130 runs, let me know!

C63newdude

I am willing to send you a G-tech Pro for you to use for like a month and check your own results if you want to.

xtyper

Thanks, that's very nice of you. What G-tech Pro model is it? Would the results I get from it be considered an "official" 60-130 measurement? The instrument I've used in the past is the Racelogic PerformanceBox that retails for $499.

i have a vbox but i dont like sharing

Sirex63

haha the thread is not about 360 and 180

in the UAE we say 360D

But i got ur point and ur right

_AMG_

Dude, You resurrected a thread to tell me this?
BTW genius, math is universal 360 is 360 and 180 is 180, be it in the U.S or be it in the Middle East.
Are you retarded or something?

Sirex63

i just passed by it
i wasn't talking about math !
i mentioned that in the middle east they just say 360 instead of 180

_AMG_

No worries man.
Dont worry about it.

any updates Eric?

xtyper

Not yet. Never got the 2010 up and running with the MHP tune, and haven't had the chance to tune the 2011 yet. I'm in contact with Andy regularly though, so only a matter of time. Will definitely post a thread though once I do to report my feedback.

Did you trade your 2010 for a 2011 since the original post in August?

xtyper

Yes.

Did you pay taxes on the full value or the trade-in difference?

You might ask for it sans that glob of black epoxy.

You have to do a baseline dyno run (stock) and another with just the tune. I would be curious to see your results. RET in Downey is always a good option if you cant find one near you.....good luck.

xtyper

Exactly the route I intend to take. Thanks for the referral, but I actually have an independent dyno shop local to me I like to use, called Specialty Z. Now that some cool weather has set in, I will try to get over there this week for some baseline pulls. Stay tuned.

Why do You need the VIN code to the new ecu? Could you just keep an oem ecu and have a second ecu with tune?

hhughes1

The ecu has to be paired to the vehicle and it can only be done by a dealer or an authorized service center with access to the MB server. There are some serious issues with several "spare" ecu's not be able to start the car after being tuned so I would stay away from the idea right now.
