How hard is it to remove the governor chip in a E55 and what does the car top out at? I have heard the S55 will do 178 without it but wasnt sure about the E55.

Thanks

I think Brabus might have more info on this topic. As far as I know however,
the only way to get rid of the governer is to replace the entire chip. Otto

I've had my E55 to vmax @ 158-59 mph. It was still pulling! I imagine it would top out in the 160's for sure. The S55 engine is basically the same. I find 178 mph a bit hard to believe, especially in a larger car than the E.

www.renntechmercedes.com can remove the top speed limiter. Good Luck!

My understanding is that you can not eliminate the top speed governer, just raise it's limits. I think Renntech raises it to about 190.

If you remove that line of code in the software, other systems, such as abs and esp will create an error code. These ecus are all linked together.

Thanks you guys for all your help.

You can remove the VMax without causing any other problems. Kleemann is the only company that I'm aware of that can remove the VMax, however I wouldn't doubt that Renntech and/or Brabus can as well.

Wetterauer can also remove the speed limiter. Their price is $995 at www.chip-tuning.com .

I see that you are getting a MH-Dezent quad exhaust. Who sales MH-Dezent stuff in the US.

What are the aspects, ie. quality, sound, power, etc. and your personal view of your RB Tech exhaust? Thanks.

Do you have a website with pics of your car?
