Chip tuning for Mercedes Actros OM471 SCR 12.8 (EU6) 449hp (330kW) 2200Nm ECU
Mercedes Actros (I (1995+)) OM471 SCR 12.8 (EU6) 449hp (330kW) 2200Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart, EQ) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 449 to 505 hp (+56 hp, +12%) and torque from 2200 to 2540 Nm (+340 Nm). The 1995 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.
The Mercedes three-pointed star symbolises dominance on land, at sea and in the air. 4MATIC all-wheel drive is Mercedes' signature system, fitted to most models. The Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Daimler AG until 2022) comprises Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart and the EQ line. Top Mercedes diesels sit at the power ceiling of the diesel segment, and Stage 2 requires hardware. The factory calibration on Mercedes diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1 while preserving engine life. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Mercedes diesels.
Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. Bench reading is a mandatory procedure for modern AMG models. Top AMG engines sit at the Mercedes power ceiling, and the gain is significant. AMG engines are a well-known base once hardware is added (downpipe + intake + intercooler). Brabus is a premium alternative to AMG for the top models.
