Chip tuning for Mercedes Actros OM473 SCR 15.6 (EU6) 517hp (380kW) 2600Nm ECU
Mercedes Actros (I (1995+)) OM473 SCR 15.6 (EU6) 517hp (380kW) 2600Nm — 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 517 to 577 hp (+60 hp, +12%) and torque from 2600 to 2900 Nm (+300 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.
The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. In the Mercedes commercial segment, Stage 1 focuses on torque. 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.
