Chip tuning for Smart ForTwo 0.9 TCE 90 hp ECU
Smart ForTwo (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 historically used Mitsubishi and Renault engines. Smart is positioned as an urban premium micro-car brand. Smart specialises in micro urban cars (ForTwo, ForFour). The factory calibration on Mercedes petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. Шифрование Mercedes — одно из самых жёстких в индустрии, особенно на современных AMG-моделях. AMG is Mercedes's performance division (since 1967), acquired by Mercedes in 1999.
The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. On Mercedes up to the recent generation, Stage 1 OBD flash is available. 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.
