Chip tuning for Mercedes SLS 63 AMG (6.2i) 571 hp ECU

Mercedes SLS (2010 - C/R197) 63 AMG (6.2i) 571 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart, EQ) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 571 to 595 hp (+24 hp, +4%) and torque from 650 to 670 Nm (+20 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch ME9.7, Siemens/Continental VGS4-NAG2, Siemens/Continental VGSx-NAG2. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 3 configurations · 3 ECU variants. The 2010 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.

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. The AMG 'one engineer, one engine' principle means each engine is built by a single craftsman whose signature appears on the plaque. Maybach uses Mercedes engines for the ultra-luxury segment, with the emphasis on quietness and smoothness. AMG engines are a well-known base with plenty of headroom for Stage 2.

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. On Mercedes up to the recent generation, Stage 1 OBD flash is available. Bench reading is a mandatory procedure for modern AMG models.
