Chip tuning for Smart ForTwo 1.0i (smart) 71 hp ECU
Smart ForTwo (2000) 1.0i (smart) 71 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 71 to 79 hp (+8 hp, +11%) and torque from 91 to 106 Nm (+15 Nm). In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations. A petrol engine built in 2000 — the era before widespread firmware encryption, OBD flash without complications.
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. Smart historically used Mitsubishi and Renault engines. The AMG 'one engineer, one engine' principle means each engine is built by a single craftsman whose signature appears on the plaque. The Mercedes petrol range spans compacts, premium saloons, SUVs, roadsters and AMG flagships. The factory calibration on Mercedes petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1.
Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. In the Mercedes city segment, Stage 1 is more about comfort and responsiveness than power. 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.
