C350 Cdi remap

Just gave the car a run. The extra power and torque is very noticeable. Also Gaz, my revs go to 4,100 before gear changes.

You technically should change up 3400 rpm absolute max .

How do get it to change up early , flappy ?

Merc torque converter slush boxes aren't the most coperative to inputs when at or near wide open throttle and, seem to have an agenda of their own .

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

Thanks Gaz, l,ll use the paddles if l feel the need to go faster.

Looks good to me, here's mine for comparison (Wheel HP)

I shift up around 3.5k using the padles if i'm pushing on (gearbox sometimes thinks it knows better!)

 

[Gazwould]

Yep tell me about it , the gearbox ignores a flappy up change sometimes when pressing on .

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

I find that not accelerating on full throttle makes the car just as quick as its changing gear at lower r.p.m making the most of the low down torque.

 

[Gazwould]

My findings too and why I added a strip of excercice mat foam to the pedal travel .

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

Good idea.

 

[Gazwould]

10mm initially to prevent the double gear screaming wot kickdown on a low rpm torque monster , now drops just one


Then an extra 10mm to help the paddle shift upchange probability .

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

Thanks Gaz, l,ll look into doing that myself.

Hi Gaz, did you stick the foam on the bottom of the pedal or the top of carpet? Steve.

 

[Gazwould]

Vertical strip similar to these horizontal ones.

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

Great, thanks Gaz.

 

[Gazwould]

Enjoy your torque .

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

Will do.

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

When using the paddles, do you think some kind of audible gear shift alarm set to the peak torque might be a good idea? A lot safer than concentrating on the rpm gauge. Steve.

The ultimate solution for our TCU's would be






Sadly not available to us

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

Thanks Gaz, just did a search.Seems its mostly for Bmw,s.

 

[Gazwould]

How amazing it would be to have all that comprehensive adjustment .

 

[Steve Paul Thompson]

It looks like I,ll be getting a audible gear shift alarm then. Any recommendations?
