Hi Merc Newbie Here

Hi all

Just bought a pre loved C250 Coupe AMG.

Want to find out everything about it and make it better.

[blackmercs]

Welcome! C250 is a good choice! Whats your mods plan?

[Kenyeokl]

No mod plans yet.

It's already chipped up by 20hp. Harmon Kardon, seats upgraded, keyless entry/ start.

What do suggest?

[blackmercs]

Post your ride photo? Seats upgraded from stock to sport?

Body kit, BBK, rims, AMG steering wheel, Comand Online, quad exhaust, air intake system, ILS headlights, lowered springs/shocks, ECU flash, etc.

Next upgrade is C63 Black series!

[Kenyeokl]

Thanks for seeing me up. It will take a bit longer for that upgrade

I'll upload a photo when I can.

Body kit (done), BBK (good idea? AMG, rims, AMG steering wheel (done), Comand Online ( what is that?), quad exhaust (maybe), air intake system (hmmm maybe), ILS headlights. (Done), lowered springs/shocks (a bit later), ECU flash, etc.

I mean....Body kit (done AMG), BBK (good idea? now AMG), rims (maybe later), AMG steering wheel (done), Comand Online (what is that?), quad exhaust (maybe, is it only aesthetic?), air intake system (hmmm maybe), ILS headlights (Done), lowered springs/shocks (a bit later), ECU flash(what does that do?)

ecu flash increase engine power  output up to 30% from paper

REALLY? I'm currently chipped up @ 221 bhp. So when flashed I'll be at 287 bhp (+30%)?

Sorry, I find that hard to believe.

That is what some tuners claimed.

I do have actual dyno reports of W204 2012 model C180 Kompressor with the following results:

Stock: 154Bhp / 230Nm Torque

Piggyback: 190Bhp (25% increase in Bhp)

Piggyback with ECU Flash: 215Bhp / 300Nm Torque (15% additional increase in Bhp)

 

Overall 40% overall increase in Bhp, 30% increase in torque. By doing both piggyback and ECU flash, you get the maximum output available that's available through software. The on paper dyno results are on par with the C250 stock. Subsequently, a new air intake system was added which increase performance even more by a few Bhp and Nm at even lower RPM. FC sucks though.

 

FYI, Comand Online = Mercedes Factory GPS system, Quad Exhaust (LTA Friendly) has vroom vroom sound.
