Chip tuning for Smart ForFour 0.9 TCE 90 hp ECU
Smart ForFour (2014) 0.9 TCE 90 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG / Geely (с 2020 — JV) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 90 to 105 hp (+15 hp, +17%) and torque from 135 to 165 Nm (+30 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental EMS3125, Siemens/Continental EMS3140, Siemens/Continental EMS3150, Valeo V50.1. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 4 configurations · 4 ECU variants. A petrol engine built in 2014 — a Tricore platform without strong protection; OBD access works.
Smart specialises in micro urban cars (ForTwo, ForFour). The Smart #1 and #3 are the new generation of electric crossovers built on the Geely platform. Smart is a German compact-car brand within the Mercedes-Benz Group, and since 2020 a joint venture with Geely. AMG is Mercedes's performance division (since 1967), acquired by Mercedes in 1999. Low-output Mercedes petrol engines are naturally aspirated, so the gain is modest but safe. Maybach uses Mercedes engines for the ultra-luxury segment, with the emphasis on quietness and smoothness.
The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. On low-output Mercedes engines, Stage 1 is safe and does not over-stress the hardware. On naturally aspirated Mercedes engines without a turbo, the main effect is on throttle response. In the Mercedes city segment, Stage 1 is more about comfort and responsiveness than power.
