SL55/63/65/R230 AMG: Turbo Size's and Make question?
I had previously sent my ECU only to Renntech. Tune was ok and was getting 550hp at the wheels. But the Eurocharged tune added 15 more hp and 100 more lbft or torque (on 91 octane). Car feels a lot more aggresive. But still totally smooth when you want it to be.
Sound8, if you are looking for a little extra, try to get Jerry for Eurocharged to come to the UK. You car will be custom tuned on the dyno.
as an add on my gearbox is based on a Maybach 62 and already upgraded so the issue wasn't anything to do with the TCU it had to do with the ECU something was hitting some limit to let the car go to limb mood
For me, your choice to not offer proof (none), reveals what you said in
your original post as either just an opinion (worthless), or slander...

It matters not what your other threads are. We are here.

I for one will wrap-up what you've said about Speedriven--and "leave it".
Thank you

One more thing I wish Speedriven a good business and hopefully continue with making monsters and providing the 1000whp dyno someday

Just for your info I have chipped in that's man value and well being by paying for his product where he has failed to give back to me or pay me back

Just wanted to say thanks to speedriven and inform everyone they did an awesome job tuning my s600 and did it for half that of renntech... they did it right and it was back to me the day after they received it..car was only down for 3 days..and i will definitely use their company again..

good luck and hope for you guys all the best
people with S600's shouldn't talk much about few hundred dollers difference for a tune! This is a high end luxury car not a cheap wanna be ricer car!

"Those that don't respect others, lack respect for themselves."--A. Lincoln
Not to insult you, but just stating Facts: In just a few posts, you've revealed yourself to be an exaggerator, financial-retard, hippocrite, and insincere liar

a.you stated to Igor that you've got a tuning shop that never, EVER
fails their customers. Really?! Is that, In Your Dreams Tuning Werks?!

What part of planet-baloney do you live on dbason!? Sounds like you
need to get off "dbase" pipe!

b.you believe that because you paid double than Cpt.Joe1983, that you
are much smarter than he.
Well, my first cell phone in 89' was a Nokia "brick" that costed me $3,000 U.S
My last cell phone an iPhone cost me $199.
So in your figuring, that Nokie brick must have been better?

My first plasma tv costed me $9,000 years ago. My last plasma costed
me $4,000. So my $9,000 old tv is better!?
Hey, let me sell you my old Nokia and Plasma for twice what I paid---then....you can feel smarter than me.

c.you're a hippocrite. You say that your negative post was just you, "given
my experience...". Then, with your other mouth, you say of CptJoe's
positive Speedriven post, you're trying to " pick there name up
"So your "experiences" are to be respected, while other's experiences
of Speedriven are to be devalued?! Ohh...sorry

d.you're an insincere LIAR. You said couple times here, "I wish Speedriven
a good business!
wasn't aligned with your "good wishes" of Speedriven. LIAR!

In closing, every word you spew, just keeps showing what a liar, hippocrite,
exaggerating, financial-retard you are. Sorry, that's just the facts

-R
of Speedriven, under: 805whp V12 from Speedriven
From original post. Enjoy
:Here is another graph,

This car is getting more and more interesting to drive.

And how DARE YOU disrespect others--again, as you said "Ricer"!?
I'd rather be a "Ricer", than an exaggerating, hippocrite, financial-retard,
that is lazy-minded and an insincere LIAR


Get off dbase pipe

I have stated my bad experience with them and i DO wish them good luck but they will never get business from me again. I would like to point out something to you, do you see that dyno sheet you have posted thats a potential 850-870WHP pull, but cuz of the limitation of the ECU you can see how the limitation kicks in at 105mph and then starts picking up again! reminds me of how my car was before going into limb mood felt really strong and then something kicks in and take out all the power, had to switch her on and off to get her going properly again. and this is still not 1000WHP!
I would request that you would be a little more mature and stop attaching names that do not reflect on me or my personality, I have respected you through out this conversation and i would expect the same from a mature person.
It's faaaaaast

dbase pipe,
Please send documentation from dictionary showing that calling
out your injustice to Cpt.Joe and Speedriven , your exagerations, your hippocricy, your elist attitudes, your insincere lying---is called, as
you state "immature".

You are giving me such great laughs
with what I see as pure NARCISM on your part. You actually called yourself, "mature"!?

Get off your high-horse and off dbase pipe

Hey, news for you: a big bhp motor---doesn't make you a big man

...and it sure doesn't make you "mature".

Thank you for being such wonderful entertainment.

Hi Juha,
I know this video from Youtube.
My SL600 is sold and I drove it to 330 KM/H = 205 MPH with GPS. It was limited at that speed. Completely unlimited I think it would have reached a few little KM/H more, because it was still accelerating on plain street.
I am very curious how much my SL65 will achieve. I am sure it is quite a lot faster, because of the Power-Difference and it is not limited at 330 KM/H...
This is going to be FUN.
P.S. In an older thread I loaded up a screenshot of my Garmin-GPS with V-Max from my old SL600
https://mbworld.org/forums/sl55-amg-...r-eyes-15.html
much difference, with an increase in boost of course. I need this before
approaching anyone.

I have an BMW M5E60 and I think it's a little faster than ECU tuned SL600.....
I'm gone test it this summer.... they are a little different cars at the power band and the M5 is better to handle and drive in high speeds..... thats my opinion.

Was your SL 600 tuned? Which companies tune the mercedes V12 engines i Germany?
I don't mean Brabus, Carlsoon or AMG.
I want the Black series but is so expensive to bring it to Finland.
The car cost about 200 000 Eur there and before I have it here I must pay at least 120 000 - 130 000 Eur taxes on that price.
Thank you.
Juha
This "whose better" crap is really tiresome. No one is perfect, no one gets it right all the time, and the tuner you think is amazing may be outdone the next day...at which point you will run over there and claim the new guy is the best.
Whats embarassing is that MB tuners are actually so far behind compared to domestic and import tuning entities that have been making big power for decades.

Hello Juha,
my SL600 had a good ECU-Tune and some minor changes. Nothing really special.
In Germany there are some good little tuners who work behind the scenes.
If you are really interested for your own car, maybe you can PM me.
M5 E60 and Sl600 are two completely different cars. For me the Power Delivery in the SL is much better and more impressing because it is so smooth, quiet and effortless. But this is personal taste.
Until a M5 is not heavily tuned, a tuned SL600 should be faster from 200KM/H to V-Max.
The Black Series is a very rare and expensive car. Maybe if money would play no role I would buy one.

But I want a Convertible and a tuned SL65 is also faster in Topspeed because of the much better Aerodynamics. SL65 Black Series needs approx. 1000 HP to reach 350 KM/H. (see MKB-Video from Papenburg/Germany)
"...No one is perfect, no one gets it right all the time, and the tuner you think is amazing may be outdone the next day..."
"...Whats embarassing is that MB tuners are actually so far behind compared to domestic and import tuning entities that have been making big power for decades.
As for "embarassing...", that's an interesting point of view.
Personally, I can see why you'd think that. For me, we started making
big horse power EVEN before there was import tuners on the scene.
Yet, I think the MB tuners are beholden to the law of "economy of scale",
not so much that they can't keep up with import tuners,ect.
My view is: there is simply more people with imports and domestic
cars---that can afford the cars and tuning.
My first Chevy Cheville costed me $5,000, so I could afford to dump $40K into it.
As opposed to a BMW or MB starting out at $45K, before any goodies are added...
So said differently, how many Hondas and Chevy's are out there vs. BMW's and MB's?
And, many BMW's and MB's come purrty fast already, which shrinks the prospective upgrade market too.
Just my .02 cents.
And THANK YOU for helping dbase pipe come to REALITY

PS you can't read Dyno's what you're seeing @ 100+ mph isn't ECU limitation
it's called a Dyno SPIKE... Reseach Dyno Spikes before flappin' ur gumsEDIT: Another Speedriven Dyno you failed to find 831 rwhp = 1,013 Crank HP & 1,104 crank Torque..
Stage 3 Turbo kit on LOW boost & 93/100 octane mix

If they ran 109-Q16 even on LOW boost it could make 900 rwhp etc..

The torque-curve in the second diagram is very unusual for a V12-Biturbo.
Getting over 700 ft-lbs after 4.300 RPM ?
Can anyone explain, why it differs so much from the first diagram which offers nearly the same Peak-Power but with a completely different torque an HP curve?
Not sure why this thread got quite so dramatic, but I would say ECU and TCU tune are always a good first, after that many people have different preferences. I use mine as a vacation car and don't want heat soak when it is getting ran hard so I went the bigger heat exchanger route, I know speedriven says if you upgrade the intercoolers you can get a bit stronger tune as it should compensate for additional heat. I have also heard that many people like the upgrade of an LSD because it helps stabilize acceleration, but the 65's have a 30% lock up rear I believe, so this may not be as high on the priority list, but toe links can help if you have a lot of "wiggle"
I hope this helps, and geez what a bunch of drama this thread became, we don't need to disect every post to make a mountain out of every ant hill, and on the other side, this is a forum used to spread car knowledge, we are talking about nuclear secrets, everyone needs to take a zanex
I had a "good" experience with speedriven, almost great. They got my ecu/tcu tune back in a flash, and even retuned my TCU for free when it got replaced under warranty. I would call them great if they had a dedicated contact person-emails, calls, etc.

what you show or don't show, on pump gas or tequilla
Your alledged hp on alledged "pump" gas isn't THE POINT

Point is (prior to your exaggeration, hippocricy, slander, narcicism,
elitist attitude, and insincere LYING) : that folks are asking for "what
to upgrade next", and Speedrivens as you said, "Proof" of 1,000bhp

Well, I for one----got my PROOF, as many did here

So don't get off topic, NO ONE asked you about your alledged HP.
Oh, and get off "dbase" pipe
Hey guys I was trying to figure out what to do, I been trying to eject the CD changer but it won't eject.! What can I do...can it be the fuze or electrical? Please help...I want to keep it original nothing new..

Only explanation I have is it's a stage 3 turbo kit @ LOW-LOW boost (prototype in testing faze) possibly moving the Power Band much higher in RPM band vs other Speedriven dyno's ref in this thread are on Higher boost etc my best guess

& now claim knowledge of what Dyno Spikes are etc
vs politely acknowledging someone ANSWERED your belligerent misinformed cries for proof of 1000 rwhp...
And sharing my dyno was so you can see how a V12 with GT30's should look like no spikes
