Out of boredom and curiosity, I took the Benz out today and strapped it on the rollers for a dyno run at GT Auto.
Well, nothing to shout about on the power it made. It cannot get any sadder to see a 2.4 liter V6 engine to produce such pathetic figures, sigh.
It is even lower than my stage 1 turbo kit, this car is definitely going nowhere with such a heavy body.
And now you know what wonders can a simple bolt-on turbo kit do to your Toyota Vios, the Benz actually has no chance at all against the Vios turbo.
But looking at the flat torque curve did somehow put a comforting smile to my face though.
Thomas was looking for the RPM signal
A very sad 137.13 PS / 17.89 kg-m
Well that is because GT Auto will be offering ECU flashes for European cars very soon. And this Benz could be one of the project cars.
Stay tuned.

ccs,
i see you were really bored!!!
afr is pretty spot on too...is it a 1.8 supercharged motor?
hi bro,
yeah im indeed very very bored, toby just sent the car to ah heng only today for the pipings to be done.
if you take a closer look at the afr, its actually flat at 14....lean man....
the car is a 2.4 v6 NA, thats why i said the power output its damn pathetic haha!
wao......crazy enuff to play european car concurrently XD
no lah bro julian, not playing european cars.....bank account is currently negative already....:(
CCS,
Do you think GT Auto can possibly do a ECU re-flash/tune a Mitsubishi I (HA1W)?
Hi J,
Yes they are able to do a flash and tune for the HA1W, its a Colt right?
Around RM 1.5K can be done complete if not mistaken.
Chew Soon
I'm afraid its not a Colt. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_i)
I hope you don't mind checking it out for me. Wouldn't mind investing in a Standalone ECU if they are capable of doing it.
Hi J,
Yup its OK the flash works for the Mistubishi i as well.
It depends what your mods are man, there are still limitations with the stock ECU with flash as you can't add in any extra inputs/outputs and other stuffs as increasing the size of the maps.
personally, i would go with a standalone ECU anytime. good long term investment.
would you be free to drop by GT Auto and talk to them directly? im not the owner therefore i cant do much besides sharing information with you.
but i dont mind making a new friend though, we can go for a drink :)
CCS,
Thanks for the quick reply.
If you do drop by SG, i would be more than happy to bring you out for a cuppa.
In the meantime, my car gets its regular fix at Garage R and they have mentioned that it is "impossible" to tune/re-flash the ECU etc. So if you're certain that GT Auto can sprinkle some fairy powder on it, I will be more then happy to drive down and let them have a go at it.
Hey J,
OK, just finished talking to Toby. He tuned a couple of HA1Ws before so he's sure its definitely possible to tune the car.
Is yours an auto or manual transmission? With turbo I assume?
By the way, checked the link you gave me. Seems like the Mitsubishi i is using either 3B20 or 3B20T?
By the way, think we can arrange for you to drive the car down. If can please shoot me an email so I have yours, and can take it off from there.
Cheers! :)
Sorry my bad bro haha, GT Auto laughed at me.
HA1W is your chassis code, the engine code should be wither 3B20 or 3B20T :)
CCS,
Thanks! So it shouldn't be a problem right? Any rough price estimation?
P/s: Sorry, I couldn't find your email anywhere.
its listed in the contact page up there, anyways here it is :)

Hi CCS, have dropped you an email.
It has to be Toyota Vios
