Tuning and Customization
As Mercedes shifted into forced aspiration engines cooling became an issue intake air temperature (IAT), heat soak, and more were only exacerbated by tuning. Tuning Superchargers or Turbocharged engines often looks at increasing the amount of compressed air into an engine. Compressing air, as we know physics today, will always […]
You may have heard about UPD air intake spacers, or Cold air intake (CAI) spacers, or VRP air box risers. Let’s answer three top questions about them. What are they? In various Mercedes engines the air intake is actually fairly good, especially when blessed by tuners such as brabus. However, […]
With the introduction of the turbocharged Mercedes Engine line up beginning with the v12, v8, and v6, it was realized that there were more impactful gains to be made from simple ECU tuning than in the past. The levels of ECU tuning were no longer 10-30HP and quicker response, but […]
