Mercedes-Benz R 350 BlueTec Stage 1 Remap
On Mercedes-Benz R 350 BlueTec diesel engines a Stage 1 remap recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. No hardware is changed and the original software is backed up. The same engine is sold with different stock outputs across generations, so the gain depends on your version.
It depends on the generation and the stock output. 350 BlueTec engines with 210–211 bhp reach 270–275 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +64 bhp (350 BlueTec 211hp). Pick your version in the table below.
