11.84sec new best for 1.5Phase Willall Racing tune

"New World Record benchmark for A45 performance on a stock other than for Willall Racing Phase 1.5 tuning system equipped A45. Three 11 second passes back to back shows the true potential of these little cars as a genuine giant killer when tuned correctly. Well done to our Victorian client Chris for driving the car superbly and consistently across the day."

Look up their Willall Racing Facebook to keep up to date with progress.

Sweet! It's was only a matter of time before 11s were hit. The M133 is quite strong.

Very nice.

Weight reduction? And I assume race gas?

What MPH were the traps?

Phase 1.5 has the following features -

- Full system power is available using Caltex Eflex i.e. biofuel E85

- Fuel types (98/E85) can be switched on the fly

- Expect around 246awkw when running Phase 1.5 on 98 octane fuel( Australia)

- Expect around 260+ when running Phase 1.5 on Eflex

- Other high octane fuel maps will be released for world markets where Ethanol fuels are not available

- All existing Phase 1 systems CAN be upgraded to Phase 1.5

-Plug in tune

-Willall Racing high grade cnc aluminum inlet & filter.

Sorry to burst the bubble but this wasn't on a drag strip ;-) it was a 400m temp setup...

Not here to disrespect other tuners, just here to make sure people buy product based on fact...

Oh yeah and it was on E85 and Yokohama tires.....just saying....

Wow, usually less grip on temp track as no rubber down.

I would certainly go for the best over counter pump gas & street tyres if I spent money on tune & was racing.

E85 makes a huge difference.

Who cares about the fuel or tires? I do however agree with you on your other point. The part that voids it for me is that it was not achieved on a drag strip with official 1/4 mile timing equipment...pretty much a worthless E/T in my opinion. Could have been a rolling start or a downhill run, absolutely pointless and misleading to call this a record.

I agree 100% with you all. This weekend he is going to the strip so lets hope it is as good as they say. Anything in the 11's would be good.

On the Willall Racing Facebook they say the E85 is good for about 14awkw compared to our 98 octane in Aust.

I care about the fuel used. I will never run E85/100 plus octane on a daily basis. I am mostly curious about straight pump 93/ full weight results as that is how I will run my car.

You will NEVER see a world record pass or any vehicle based on those stipulations so why did you even click on this thread??? Did you honestly friggin think someone ran an 11.8 in a CLA with a tune and pump gas????? SMH

Interesting times ahead for the babe AMG

I've been waiting for sometime now to see what the latest advances from Willall produced, granted it all needs to be "officialized" but the power and torque output numbers obtained by that phase 1.5 tune and the A CLass AMG's AWD should surely see 11's eventually, if not there's a full phase 2 tune coming

I believe we'll eventually see an OEM 11sec A Class AMG not too far down the track anyway as AMG are prepared to hold their position on top and stay ahead of the pack in this end of the market segment mainly to compete with the impending VAG groups release of their own AWD 2.0ltr 4 cylinder 400+BHP pocket rockets.

Oh ye of little faith. Wait until I get my actual tune done. Corn doesn't solve anything except in the short term.

I think 11.9 might be possible on 93 octane in the right conditions considering Rebellion ran a 12.07 (tune only) in less than ideal conditions.

As above, it will only be a matter of time until one of us crack the 11's given that 2 tuners have done 12.0 with just Stage 1 on stock pump fuel (not E85).
Willall's Phase 1.5 should have the upper hand with their tune on E85, but let's see it done at a proper track guys and not at this Geelong place (seen below)...

Not looking for world records.

Though I could hold a world record for pump gas, full weight, and street tires.

I clicked on this link as tuning for this platform is rather new, and enjoy following the progress. It is always better to confirm than assume. No need to get flustered.

Any progress on this msk74717 ie. has he run yet on another race track ? Calder raceway not too far away from Geelong would be the perfect strip


As for E85 I'd have to agree with posts above, certainly would not use it to any great extent I've tried the lesser E5 and E10 on one of my turbo petrol vehicles and only on a single tank I noticed it started chewing up anything that wasn't metal that it came into contact with, apparently it can also leave or create unwanted solid deposits in the cylinder chambers.


Fuel type/s aside it's awesome to see the A Class AMG's hitting the 11sec bracket

Apparently it rained last Sunday at Calder so no go & no word of next attempt.

Maybe someone else will step up before there is fine weather in Melbourne.

If I had a 45 AMG and with the Willall tune I'd love to oblige, I live very close to Calder park raceway and have spent lots of time on the drag strip there with various cars of mine


I was actually expecting Willall themselves to do some quarter mile passes with their own cars to promote their own tuning product/s, AFAIK they have/own 2 A45's so it would make you think why haven't they done some track work with the latest 1.5 tune


They're certainly well into it with all of their other tuned vehicle types especially the R35.

I have ridden in the Weistec CLA45....wait until they release their tune and other parts. Their car is probably already a mid 11 second car but it has more than a tune

Weistec will have real tune, not a piggybackfrom what I understand but everything is still in test stages, they are pretty careful before they release anything to the masses.

Jailbreak Tuning/HG Motorsports already have them beat. I'm getting it put on next week to give a full before and after review.

For release time yeah, but I think what jr is referring to is outcome. Look at his numbers all from Weistec. This is still new and I wouldn't jump on anything just because it came out first. Good luck with the tune. Anxious to see the results. I'm gonna wait to see what the competitors come up with. I'm certain there will be a lot of options come spring.

It's cool. My buddy is the owner of Jailbreak. I've got faith in his work and he welcomes the competition. I'll let you guys know results as soon as it's on.
