  • It's time to start TUNING my Mercedes-Benz A45S AMG! We head down to EST to have their custom Stage 1 installed, before getting the car onto the dyno to see the power gains.

    Great video, the tuners explained the challenges nicely.
    So ecu/cpc/tcu tuning with some mods - at least dump pipe- is the goal.
    My question, what about the 4matic+ system? Tune it to be more rear wheel biased lile xdrive or even E63s like. Tuning the twinster/rdu on the FocusRS made a huge difference to the driving experience.
    It does not all need to be about power.

    These cars seem to be already maxed out from factory. I think power figures on stage 3 won’t be significant as the previous model in terms of huge gains over stock.

    From the long term perspective would you not be better doing all the modifications at once? As I understand it from this excellent video the down pipe is now going to be the next restriction (which you’re planning on changing). If you’ll need t/ intend to do more tuning via the ECUs when that’s changed isn’t a stage one in effect money / dyno time wasted? Obviously going straight to stage two or even more would cut down on your content and also need a larger initial financial investment…

    • @CaptainBosh4

      Just an easy way to make more content, do it all separately and make a video for each. Otherwise agree would make sense to do all in one go.

    Great video ! Am going to watch your progress avidly, especially as I’m not brave enough to void the warranty on my own A45S ! (I also find it quite rapid enough already, stock, - just wish it sounded better, so might just risk an exhaust mod alone)

  • @martinrodger9565

    Looks to have gained 17hp recorded @ wheels from your standard runs and then an extra 19hp flywheel hp through a drag increase from an ecu tune. Looks odd.

    Why don't you spin all 4 wheels? instead of just the ones in front? it's a 4-matic.
    Do you do it to get a better result?

    • @monraypretorius3585
      @monraypretorius3585 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's because the 4 Matic system is an on demand and not always on all wheel drive system i.e. it's not always all wheel drive like cars such as Subarus for example.
