ECU Mod for FL SLK200

[Guest sociex]

My first post after the site revamp...yeah it's been a while!

Anyway, just got my ECU reflashed today by Dave of OBD Tuning (he drives a GT3 with his company decals, can't miss him haha), so I thought I'd share my experience. Dave met me at my office car park at noon to "download" my ECU settings, and came back at 6pm to upload the new "map". It took less than 10 mins each time, the best part being that it was done in a day and I didn't even have to drive out. Total damage = $990 (I think the usual price was closer to $1,300).

Dave claims a 30 hp and 50 Nm torque increase, which would equate to over 210 hp and 300 Nm for an FL SLK200. I didn't get in much mileage today (just the drive home), but the power gain was definitely noticeable. Engine felt more willing to rev, throttle was more responsive. Additionally, I did notice slightly improved fuel consumption despite revving the engine at every opportunity. Will probably be able to verify this after more time behind the wheel.

Anyone know a good straight road for hard driving? =)

Hi sociex,

Congras man.....210hp and 300nm.............wow

any dyno done before and after? cool man

it seems very impressive just for an ECU tune alone without upgrading any other hardware like a bigger pulley and headers / exhausts...........(well done man)

PM me your number then i try to jio a few SLK280 (231hp and 300nm) and maybe a stock (z4 205hp and 250nm) and we can try a straight road just to test test the 210hp and 300nm

vroom vroom.........

congras once again.......

cheers

[Guest ehwwong]

yeah, very impressive.. count me in (w204) if want to test.

[Guest sociex]

haha yeah i'll try to make it for the next meet up. HP and torque gains were quoted by the tuner, take it with a pinch of salt as I haven't done a dyno run yet...cheers!
