722.9 TCU Tuning - US Tour - Coming very soon to a city near YOU :)

Finally!! 722.9 TCU Tuning is coming to the region near you! This is for ANY 722.9, Including Non-AMG cars, torque converter cars, and older models with a 722.9, including PFL W204 C63's. We can done custom TCU tuning as well, along with CLK Black Series trans software.

The Basics:
- This is not a "NEW" product, just newly available to the masses. It's been well proven and tested for many years.
- Designed to be safely within the safe hardware limits of the transmission
- No change to daily comfort
- Increases Line Pressure
- Increases Power Holding Capacity
- Increases Torque Limiters in All Gears
- Reduces Shift Times


The overall result of this is a better driving performance experience, as the ECU and TCU work in harmony to deliver the power you want, when you want it. The TCU tune works with any tuned, modified, or bone stock car (and it's a fantastic first mod). Your car will be quicker, more responsive, and much more enjoyable

So far we sessions set up in:

- Chicago,IL

- Costa Mesa, CA (SoCal)

- Burlingame, CA (Bay Area)

- Baltimore, MD

- Orlando, FL

- Cincinnati,OH

- Las Vegas, NV

- Seattle, WA

- Phoenix, AZ

- Omaha, NE

- Minneapolis, MN

- Detroit, MI

If you're located in the Northeast or Tri-State, message @5soko and he can get you squared away.

Go visit www.eurochargedatx.info to sign up for your region and put down your deposit!

Any questions at all can be posted here, or directed to me. You can also call the shop if you like - 512-777-2799.

Intro price for the TCU tune is $1,800 - NO other costs or fees involved. Deposit is $300 and is credited towards the cost . Once we've visited your region - the normal price kicks in.

Quick Note - Chicago, Burlingame, Baltimore, and Costa Mesa (SoCal) only need a few more cars each to set dates. So if you're close - let's get after it

Thanks!

Dave

Hey Dave,

Would the TCU tune reduce the shift lag when using the paddle shifters? I feel like my car likes to daydream for a second (sometimes several seconds) before shifting... Finally with the EC V7 tune, when I revert my car's EC v7 tune to stock every 2 years, would this overwrite the TCU tune?

thank you!

1) For the first question - I can't say that it will quicken the "lag time" between your "request to shift", and the start of the "shift event". It will however 100% quicken the actual shift even, which will greatly improve your experience

2) Flashing the ECU with a MyGenius will have no effect on the TCU software - so you're totally safe there

Good questions, Thanks!

Sorry if I'm just missing it somewhere, but do you have dates for the different locations? Or is that dependent on number of registered cars?

Thanks!

We won't be setting dates until the roster for each region is full and we have deposits. It's a significant investment to get out there and do the work, so we're looking for 10+ committed folks. Once we get close to that target number, we'll set a date and purchase plane tickets (probably will be 2-3 weeks of lead time - giving everyone plenty of time to make the necessary arrangements . Depending on the needs of the specific regions - we can accommodate whatever lead time is required to make it work.

Good question and thanks!

Is there an option to go back and forth between factory and tuned?

No, but just out of curiosity - why would you want to? Honest question

Thanks!

What about adding a dyno day? I’ve been after Jerry to do dyno day out here in NorCal to optimize my E85 kit.

On a PFL trans, same benefits? What will be perceived difference between sport and the other ones I never use. 😛
Thanks Dave!

Probably won't have time for a dyno day sadly - but the TCU tune will certainly wake up your car. It's killer on converter cars since you'll now be able to run up on the stall and launch the car fast and hard! It's actually REALLY great!

Everyone love it, and may said they would do it before an ECU tune if they could do it all over on a stock car.

You will notice a difference in shift speed and firmness between the modes.

Hope all's well! Get yourself on the list

Thanks!

Dave

Who is doing the work of the tune and who actually gets paid. Eurocharged of Cincinnati is closest to me and I'm interested but after being blown off by them I really don't care for them to profit anything from me.

I know it sounds kind of dickish, but if they didn't want my business then why should I give it to them now?

Omaha, getting closer. Too bad the Mercedes following in Kansas is a bit on the older side. Might have to make a trip if nothing else comes closer.

We are paid directly (through the website) and although we (Dave and Adam) are part of EC ATX, we are more of the extension for the tuner in Germany during these specific sessions - the host shops are kind enough to let us crash them for a day or two

For what it's worth - I'm sorry you had a bad experience over there.

Thanks!

Dave

Sounds like a great opportunity for a cruise!

Thanks!

Gotcha, Thanks for an Honest answer.

I can't help but want to try so I'm in!!

Also, I don't think I've seen this questions touched on. It works and does help for PFL so 08-11 years but how does it handle PFL not having a S+ mode, are there any major drawbacks or is it still just not having a launch mode and what not? Not sure if that question is even able to be answered.

Do appreciate your time and attention to this project. Looking forward to everyone's response and turn out.

The lack of S+ and RS on PFL cars is not a big deal... we have done very exhaustive testing on all launch modes and launching the car on stall (MCT cars too, even though its not really a "stall") is by far the fastest way to get out of the hole, with or without a TCU tune...

Looking forward to it as well! I can tell you that it's REALLY brought up the spirits on the M157 crowd - and a breath of life to their platform that has been stagnant for a while... I feel it will be similar to the M156 folks, giving you the ability to shave a good chunk of time on your ET's and just make the car much more fun to drive!

Thanks!

Looking for 1 more in Beltsville, MD and 2 more in Burlingame (NorCal), CA to set those dates.

Bought tickets already, so we are 100% for Chicago and Costa Mesa, ready to buy em' for anywhere else that wants to join the party

Have a great afternoon!

Hey Guys,

Is this ECU upgrade something that will be finding it's way to Eurocharged in Toronto at some point? Or will be available as a caned tune? I'm very interested in this but am deployed in the middle-east until the end of the year so traveling to the US to hit up one of the events isn't an option.

Cheers,
Steve.

Great news, Steve! Toronto **IS** able to do the TCU tune - so just get in tough with them when you get back!

Thank you for your service!

By chance how many are still needed for Cinc. ? If one wanted to could we switch desired places if one is willing and already put deposit down?
