Tuning and Customization
Check out this brief montage of constructing our previously printed air intakes in metal. Some people like the aesthetics of metal better, and while 3d printing is getting better by leaps and bounds there are still some areas in which metals will outperform 3d printed parts.
TunedMercedes has just announced two new products, a jackstand printed in PC. Perhaps more interesting for MB Performance DIY a MAP Sensor mount. This connects to an air filter to eliminate unfortunate CEL or for the construction of a new air intake.
The Calimafde LLC which operates the TunedMercedes offer manufactures all products locally and offers other manufactures goods drop shipped directly from the manufactures. We do not maintain an inventory of others products. We do not sell any downpipes in the state of MD, NY, or CA. Catted downpipes are available […]
One question I have seen a few times today is about how to tell if your car was previously tuned. There is a way to do this which involves an actual read of the ECU (not virtual read) and then matching this against known factory software, for example in ecm […]
we have a couple of results a few clients shared this weekend of our calibrations. first is a dyno from a stage 1 cls550 second is a video of race presumed in mexico
The difference in oxygen density between 70 and 100 F is .07 kg/m3 The difference in volume delivery between a 3″ and 4″ diameter tube is nearly double. Additionally, the length of tubing decreases volume of flow according to Cullen and Koss. Therefore a shorter tubing intake with greater […]
The old adage of trying to get cold air no matter how long the piping and how many curves takes a back seat to direct flow with greater filtration ability when you are working with boosted and intercooled cars. https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCzRMSYaXLkSqofiVN9PPm6w
3D printing improves by leaps and bounds. While still lagging behind cast and milled metal and carbon fiber eventually these gaps are going to be very narrow across the board. 3D printing allows the creation of items in ways which traditional manufacturing is unable to replicate and therefore we may […]
p1ce7, p1ce6, p1ce8 are just some of the codes some other aftermarket air intakes will throw. This is often due to the vacuum pressure being lower than anticipated at WOT. While these codes are generally harmless and just indicate some values are outside of what the ECU thinks they should […]
MB is rumored to confirm the V12 engine will stay in production which likely implies a new generation of V12 based on two M256 inline 6.
We have Mercedes Map Sensor Extenders similar to A 278 150 60 20 available for $10 each. We use these for our own air intakes and offer them to others to use as well at a good price.
A little roll race possibly in mexico of a CLS63 versus an M550i.
ChatGPT told me I should upload more of our client cars…
One of the most effective upgrades to the power of an M278 engine is adding M157 turbos. In this short video we will talk about the process, expected power output and life expectancy at that production level.
If you are considering buying a MB with an M157 or M278 in 2025 you may want to consider purchasing a 2016+. These have upgrades to the cylinder lining and the valve seats.
