Mercedes C63 AMG – Bespoke Stage 1 Performance Tune

Posted on by Ciaron Mckee

This Mercedes C63 AMG, Naturally Aspirated V8 came in for a Bespoke Stage 1 Tune on the Rolling Road. As it is only a naturally aspirated engine we were not expecting massive gains but noticeable enough for the customer to be happy.

So we manoeuvred the vehicle up onto the rolling road and securely fastened the vehicle down but allowing enough pull for the vehicle to stretch it’s legs.

After running the vehicle stock after numerous runs it was to be expected for this vehicle running around 500BHP and 650NM give or take depending on engine temperature and ambient air temperature.

After then we plugged the laptop in and started downloading the Original Software from the ECU using CMD Master – OBD2 (Only genuine, fully licensed and fully up to date hardware used here at Dyno Remaps).

From then, we loaded the map into WinOLS and started performing the necessary changes and requirements to this vehicles to tune to get it to where expected. Having done numerous amounts of these vehicles now we know what to do and what to expect.

Once everything was done and saved, we then written the new file and software to the ECU once again using CMD Master – OBD2. We then get back into the vehicle and do some more runs to see what the car was running after our modifications to the software. Just as expected it was running around 528BHP and 686NM give or take on temperatures and airflow.

Porsche Cayman S in for Stage 1 Bespoke Tune

Posted on by Ciaron Mckee

This Porsche Cayman S came in this week for a Stage 1 Remap after giving us a call and speaking to one of Experts with years of experience and with a honest quotation given on results as remember this car is naturally aspirated so the gains are aspected for a naturally aspirated engine but, noticeable.

Let’s move on to putting the vehicle on the rolling road and making sure the vehicle was fastened down securely. Also with this vehicle with the engine being at the back and the radiators to the front we had to make the cooling for this vehicle was setup correctly.

The first run, we pulled a few stock runs on this vehicle to calibrate the rolling road to suit the Porsche Cayman S. Once we where all setup we where ready to do a full power run and see what this car pulls stock. So after a few power runs stock we found this Porsche is running very fit and healthy and pulling 298.27 BHP and 346.46 N.m.

Let’s move onto pulling the cars and engine information from the ECU, we only use Genuine, Licensed Master Tools here at Dyno Remaps. The tool of choice for this Porsche Caymans S was of course CMD Master OBD2 to download the file from the ECU.
Once we downloaded the file we then loaded into WinOLS to start tuning this car bespoke to its Live Data and information gathered from the Stock Runs. All the modifying, mapping and information changes are done! Let’s get this new file loaded on to the car and get some power runs under its belt and see what we have gained with our Bespoke Tune.

Viola, the car pulled 316.19 BHP and 370.31 N.m tuned with our Bespoke Map and was exactly where we expected it to be with it being naturally aspirated. The power increase is nice smooth incline all the way across the power curve.
