Tuning and Customization
Spark plugs actually have a temperature range that they are designed to operate in. A colder spark plug doesn’t fire colder, but it does help evacuate heat from the cylinder head faster. Pressures with emissions and finding the right balance between a spark plug that will burn fuel completely even […]
While the electronics in the aftermarket android setups are fairly good although I would use a usb dac or sound card and usb external dongle for wireless apple car play or android auto. Both of those usb dongles are superior than the stock implementation. Although, I feel that the internal […]
As the push for ever increasing fuel economy has pushed engines to be more efficient and use innovative technology we may not otherwise see, there are some configurations of Mercedes that run a dual battery set-up with one battery primarily, to my knowledge, to power start the engine and power […]
Against the backdrop of a struggle toward a more enlightened view on race Harpers Ferry West Virginia is an intersting location and in general an interesting state. West Virigina of course broke off with Virginia and the south I believe for the expressed reason of the slavery. Harpers Ferry was […]
As an introduction to different tuning stages I thought of a piece that would cover things broadly and then an individual piece for each level describing perhaps what it would entail for different cars and etc. This is the introduction to the tuning stages vernacular. In general many people describe […]
Mercedes in Germany and I believe from the USA are available debadged as a factory option. If you are like me you ask the dealer to take their sticker off. One of the reasons you may wish to do this is for the lines. While the original Mercedes lettering is […]
I’ve often read the term pre-tune checklist on various posts across facebook groups, forums, etc. One of the items that you may want to consider is replacing your Mercedes battery, regardless of how it tests if it is over six years old. There are two batteries on many late model […]
Alibaba for some reason will not sell to me. This is by no means an endorsement for anything other than browsing in fact I would go with a reseller often like DMP for your Screens. That being said. Checking out Alibaba and entering your common model code and year can […]
Many AMG’s come standard with IWC clocks. IWC is a fine German manufacture of clocks and watches. IWC is perhaps best known for their ingenieur line which this particular IWC MB clock is related. Background on IWC IWC ingenieurs are individually tested like Rolexes. These tests cost money and check […]
There are some options shipped, and I’m sure can be fabricated, that either seek to upgrade the air intake tubes or replace the Mercedes units which can get ripped. One option is using VRP or similar air intake tubes. Take this a step further by using wrapping the aftermarket metal […]
The Air suspensions in Range Rovers have been modified for years. With links, later with GAP IIDtool and dealer programming to raise the height. The links are apparently super easy to install. But the computer way allows you to continue to run the car in an OEM fashion. For Mercedes […]
Adding dynamat sound deadener to the trunk of your mercedes can help cut down on road noise and make your subwoofer sound better.
Replace Rear Door Speakers and Remove Rear Door Card in a C218 W218 X218 Mercedes. I didn’t see this video posted anywhere but it is different than the front from the outer card in. Outer most door card no access panel, an additional screw, more wires to unhook versus the […]
2000+ Mercedes owners have a option of upgrading their Mercedes Command Screen with something more modern. My car had a 7″ screen in it, which was fairly good. Not bad. I wanted to keep what the stock unit could do because it wasn’t bad. But I found myself becoming addicted […]
One way to upgrade power on a (non-amg) M278 is to retrofit AMG turbos into the M278 engine. People on MB World report they bolt up directly and just need a tune to work and also routing of liquid cooling. One issue to anticipate is the M157 turbos have coolant […]
