Computer Chips

**jcllee** · 05-08-2006, 09:00 PM

Hi, I'm a new member here!!! I'd like to know if anyone had added a "computer chip" to their C230 Kompressor yet? Will it mess up the original software? I currently have a 2000 C230 Kompressor, Special Edition..

jnolte's provided a good starting point, but if you use the search function on the site and look for "c230k chip" you'll find threads with more in depth information as well as the impressions of a couple of folks who have put chips on the cars.

BTW, do you have any pictures available of your car? Esp, the interior. If it does indeed have the steptronic transmission, it would be quite a rare sight.

Also, before deciding that a chip is what you really want, perhaps we should take a moment to think about your specific goals for the car. With a goal in mind, you can best evaluate the options available to you.

I think bc24's car is like that too.

welcome to the site.
in earlier threads we've discussed the potential of having a tunning chip for a kompressor engine. and it's a lot more potent than doing the same to a non-k engine. so if u do want more pep to the car, this can be a way to go. do a search, there's plenty of specific info in this matter.

you better have someone else do the work for you. if you can't figure out how to use a search button highlighted in red, you'll probably not be able to chip your ecu.

just playing. welcome.

I have a 1999 C230 Kompressor.. with a Tuner-Werks chip.
I had upsolute, but got it redone by tuner-werks.
upsolute was very good indeed.. noticed a big difference. but with the tuner-werks there is another difference. seems to pull harder.. maybe just me!

but the whole point of a chip is to replace the stock software, or modify the stock software in your ECU. by remaping fuel curves and timing. so I guess you can say it kinda messes up you origninal software!.. but in a good way. you can also have it returned to stock ecu programming as well.

if your going to get a chip, I would recommend getting a pulley kit to spin the supercharger faster.
you wont see that much of an increse with just a chip alone on our cars (M111 kompressor) running stock boost of about 5.5psi, with a retuned fuel computer wont net very many gains (about 10-15hp and 15ft lbs of torque at most) noticable none the less.. but if you get a pulley kit and bring boost pressure up to around 11psi, you can maximize the output and power with the fuel computer)
hope this helps you out.
heres the link for the tuner-werks site:Tuner-Werks

**jcllee** · 05-09-2006, 08:01 PM

hey, guys

thank you for helping~ I guess I'm not confident enough to add the performance chip yet before I heard from you. My Mercedes mechanic didn't recommend me 'cz he doesn't want me to break my car by adding some chips.......but he didn't know I usually drive 80-90 mph on freeway in LA........hehehe.......especially after I test drive my friend's red Audi A4 1.8T Quattro "Ultra Sport Package".........his Audi can reach 200HP after the chips.......it felt like my 185 HP MBZ is a little slower....

I'd like to go for the chips at evosport.powerchipgroup.com if nobody has anything wrong w/ their car after adding the chips.

Any other good place you would recommend for Mercedes chips?

Thank you,

I'll try to take pic. for my special edition in the day time....(it looks like the C32 AMG interior before they change to the new C-class)

GO~ GO~More horse power~:bunny:

Thank you~ thank you~ I guess your "c230 chip" helps a lot....I was not familiar what to type in the search before...so I can't find the info. I need.......now I do see a lot of threads there...thanx:silly:

Yep, don't worry though, as you're not the first n00b who needed help with search terms to find what they're looking for.

Looks like you've managed to survive your first CLUB 202 hazing...Welcome, and enjoy your stay
