Cos maybe I am being dense here but I see a lot of "we can customize", which is cool, but Im not entirely sure I get what I can do and how I can customize.
Theres not exactly a menu here to pick and choose from.
So what did you ask for?
Am I wrong here or do others feel the same way?
Despite my reputation lol Im not being cranky, Im just unclear on exactly what the changes are and how we can dial these now and seeking some guidance.
I was on the updates for life program, but for reasons others have mentioned already I am ok with this charge. My thought is that it would be very fair to think of it as "for the life of the model run". Once something isnt produced anymore you are really going above and beyond to be working on updates.

I pm'd these questions (just waiting for a response) but I will also put in here in case someone else has similar questions/thoughts.
Hi Eurocharged,
Background:
- I have the v5 tune
- 2013 C63 P31
Rev Limiter -
- The rev limiter being raised to 7500. Will this affect how/when the car auto shifts?
- Will the fuel cutoff still work or is that disabled?
- Will the power be distributed differently, like whats the purpose of having higher rev limiter?
- Whats different about this tune, is there more fuel/run richer being supplied to make the flame?
- What are the guidelines in order to make the flame happen (rpm med/high then let off?)
- Is this any extra or more from the v5 version of the burbles/popping?

the rev limiter being raised does make the gears hold longer, you make 0 more power at that RPM it's basically flat lined. It does help with shifting a tad because normally instead of shifting say at 6950 or whatever it does, it'll shift closer to the 7xxxx you use.
You can run 8000 RPM actually perfectly fine
Fuel cut off gets hit more often i'd say with the RPM set higher because you're trying to force more down the cars throat when there is nothing more to give

need some clarification
does the v6 tune include more than 1 tune at the holiday price of $75?
for example, i would obviously take the increase in power and better fuel maps, etc.
not sure of the benefits of increasing the limiter so i'll probably pass on that...
now when it comes to this flame tune and the burble pop tune... would that mean 3 tune files... 4 with ethanol?
1 - normal v6
2 - flame v6
3 - burble pop v6
4 - ethanol v6
questions about the ethanol kit... if you have the ethanol tune... do you always have to be using e85 or can you switch from 93? or does the tune need to be changed each time different fuel is used... or is there like a daily driving ethanol tune and a more aggressive ethanol tune for the track?
is there a package price if you purchase the ethanol kit and the v6? or is the v6 thrown in with the ethanol kit?
i also found this old thread with someone posting about the possibility of using ethanol... someone posted all this info about the dangers of ethanol... i don't know anything on the subject so just curious...
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...hanol-mix.html
and finally... i would gladly pay $75 for a tune that will get rid of this awful random hesitation/bogging that keeps happening since v4... although v6 and those extras would be great... i would rather have a v5 that fixes the hesitation...

I ordered the V6 with the pops, stock rev limit. I will see how it is vs the V5.

Ok, may I ask you what you asked them for?

I asked them for stock rev limit and some more burble and to keep the cold start - those seem to be the 3 things you can configure.
The flame tune will throw some flames if you have no cats, for those with cats it just let's a little unburnt fuel into the exhaust to give the burble, not sure how configurable this is.
A little more rev limit might help on the track to save a shift maybe, but don't see a lot of reason to have it on the street.

Agreed, it sounds horrible on it and that's the only thing I don't like about the new Merc GT-R.

BTW I just finally learned how to do a 'multi-quote' and not only is easy as all get out its a wicked time saver! For a guy who loves to learn, I sure do it slowly sometimes.

I got a reply but all came up was my quote/message I sent them. Is any one else having this issue with their private messages?
Edit: Seems the answers where right next to the questions and my dumbass didn't see them lol.

They may have used a symbol in their reply. Some, like the less than greater than symbols (can't use em here lol) cause formatting issues and can make everything that comes after disappear.

Wheres all those bark memes when you need them?
Seriously guys, a tune doesn't make your car fart more unless they run it rich, they say they run leaner so it won't pop more just because of that. Running leaner too makes more heat
If you want more "barks farts crackles and pops" just straight pipe the car and buy some ROW boxes, it'll do all that then some even when you're doing 5mph
this car will shoot flames without a tune as long as you have the proper exhaust setup
whats next? Do we get vTec anytime soon?

im just trying to save you guys who own a stock car some money. If you want more pops, delete your cats and straight pipe the car from the headers back to the exhaust for under $500 or just remove your secondaries
you can even buy the straight pipes from a guy on this forum for pretty cheap and it will produce 100x more "pops" then any tune will

- What are the guidelines in order to make the flame happen (rpm med/high then let off?) only guideline; needs to be catless
- Is this any extra or more from the v5 version of the burbles/popping? This is extra, burbles and popping on deceleration from above 4000 rpm.

It's a naturally aspirated car so it doesn't heat soak and it pulls all the way to redline, so extending the rev limiter out further allows a higher hp gain. This is only true if Eurocharged is advertising gains all the way to the new revised rev limit, which they are not. If there are no gains, then this comment is false and is meant to brush you off. The purpose of the raised rev limiter is when you MANUALLY shift at a higher point, your next gear will land at a higher RPM point making more power.
- Whats different about this tune, is there more fuel/run richer being supplied to make the flame? Again, irrelevant, there are so many maps modified to get this to happen and to explain to people how to shoot flames in a tune would take forever. I love how EC is calling your question irrelevant when they don't want to answer the question. A flame tune requires MORE fuel to be used to shoot out the flames, that requires RICHER tune.

Got V6 yesterday and drove the car to work this morning. Stock revlimit, added pops and whatever.
The throttle response seems smoother, downshifts sound the same. The added pops I could only tell when in manual mode, getting on it and then letting off the gas at high rpm there are a few pops. That does not continue as the revs fall, seems to be just when letting off throttle at high rpm.
Worth the upgrade? Sure? No real concernable difference but $75 for a claimed 5 to 10 hp from a trusted company seems reasonable. Going to the 1/4 mile track with the car for the first time this weekend. May make some runs with stock/V5/V6. Trying to stay consistent using race start and see what the times/trap speeds show.

Going to put in mikes power pipe tonight (straight no H) and see if the pops are any different without the secondary cats.
Worth the upgrade, not a huge difference, but worth it to me.
Props to Eurocharged for still upgrading the tune on and engine that Mercedes has moved on from.

Realistically, in a car where you can spend $200 on a start button (and a group of guys that will pay that) how much can you expect for $75?
Add in the fact that this is the 6th version of this, and there really cant be that much more to wring out. $75 is a tank of gas here. Ill spend that kind of money just for the fun of trying something new. Do I expect a huge difference? Nope, but it'll be fun to try.

you guys weren't seriously expecting a ton of pops from a stock car were you? please tell me no.
I learned this in like grade 8 shop class, what are they teaching people these days

no ***** it's going to pop more with no cats ...i thought every man on the planet knew this the day they turned 12 and ripped a dirt bike 80km into a ditch
2004 Viper SRT10 pops and gargles as revs fall through gears. Stock cats/aftermarket exhaust.
Planing on leaving cats in the C63 but will most likely be putting in eurocharged Xpipe to replace the resonator. I expect it will pop and gargle more.
