PRESSERtech tune review

[Angel]

Give them a call and email them all mods on the car currently with photos.... works very well.

I am calling them today after work or maybe during work lol..... I need to take pics of the car with the mods. I am hoping they pick me lol I want to do it.

So when someone says they talked to you all and you said you're already working on a stage 3 tune that was just b.s.?

Is stage 2 what eflyguy has?

Possibilities of a stage 2.5 that will bridge the gap between the tune that made 60 hp extra and one that requires turbo upgrades?

Looking through the thread, it was said PresserTech has been busy working on a stage 3 tune, but it doesn't say for the Stinger. Then Todd clarified they are working on a Stage 3 tune for the Mercedes AMG S65.

I had a similar convo with Todd, so I am certain this is the case.

If I lived closer than 1,400 miles (a lot closer), I'd be full-throttle in for the Stinger stage 3 development! I just can't get enough of this car...

 

[eflyguy]

If I owned or was planning to own (vs. lease), I would too. I'm just in "wait and see" mode, not because I've had any issues or have any concerns, but I have to believe something better will be coming from the mothership.

Hey guys! We are here. We have been swamped with an in house stage 3 build on an AMG s65. We tell our high end clirnts about the stinger gt all the time. You all will see write ups on our website after the new year when we update our site! Hope everyone had a great holiday and you all have a kick ass new year!

Are you guys also doing anything for the 2 liter motors?

We were discussing tuning options for the Stinger on a Stinger forum. I don't think that was the case. I think it was a lie from a bloviator wanting attention.

Anyway, it's good they are planning to take the platform further. The more options we have the better. I'd really like to see a non-turbo upgrade/more aggressive version.

@eflyguy which stage do you have? Are you just reflashing to stock at the end of the lease?

Gotcha!

I don't plan to reset, who would know (or be unhappy) anyway?
I really don't know how to define stages without other mods, but Todd said it's Stage 2 from a programming perspective.

I will say, if there is no significant platform change, such as larger displacement and/or turbos, I might buy this one at the end of the lease. I am thrilled with the car in every way, and the tune absolutely made it even better. I would then be inclined to go nuts on additional mods that are not really suited to a lease. Until I lost my drivers license, at least..

I still need to meet up with you and see what this tune is all about. Nice review!

If you're AWD, would be fun to go to "my friends private driveway", and use my data logger to compare straight-line runs..

We have the same cars. GT2 AWD!

Guys, two questions. Is it possible to have different maps for different fuel. Let's say comfort map is for 91 octane fuel and sport map is for 100 octane fuel ?

Also is it possible that I read my ecu and sent the file to you. You modify it and sent it back to me. And I flash it myself (reason for this, that I live on the other side of the world) ?

Hi please email us at service@pressertech.com or call us at +1.770.648.0500. We will be happy to discuss options for you.

Ill bet the stage 3 mod for the AMG costs almost as much as we paid for our stingers !

Kam.....you're using second semester words he wouldn't "get it" lol

 

[washguy]

As an ex-BMW addict in recovery, the Stinger is the automotive equivalent of a nic patch. Owned E92 M3, E92 335i Dinan, V10 M5, and also spent considerable time behind the wheel of an Audi R8. And now, when I hop into my GT2, do you suppose I miss any of my ex's? Not a chance.

It's a chilly 52F this morning in Edm, and my PresserTech tuned Kia, with an 1/8th tank of 100 octane race fuel, is a savage creature. Hats off to PresserTech for the great service, and for developing a powerful and refined tune that feels absolutely OEM. If Kia does decide to produce a higher performance version of the Stinger, they ought to benchmark it against PresserTech.

I'd be down for spending a week or so in ATL for a tune.

How does this tune with straight Canadian fuel?

Will keep you posted. Only been running the tune for a few days, and when I replaced the ECU my tank was full of race fuel. Will run a couple tanks of 91 through it just to experiment. This thing's not my daily driver, so I can afford to supplement low octane pump gas with obscenely expensive race fuel.

Update: Couldn't be more pleased with the Presser tune. 5K on stock plugs and nary a hiccup. Runs so strong on 91 that 98's rendered moot. As a former owner of M3 and Z06 I'm still shocked at the power this thing makes. Also, just took a rip in a 2017 RCF and was totally disappointed. Cheap cramped interior and just uncomfortable in general. Great sounding engine that pulls hard, but has nothing on a Pressertech Stinger. Our beloved Stinger is one special car gentlemen.

Dang, thanks for the update! I just assumed this thread had died and everyone forgot about it.. So did you just send your ECU to them and have them flash it with their canned tune, or did they whip up a custom map just for you? Did the throttle response change or get wonky, or does it feel nice and smooth like stock? You said OEM plugs, are they gapped? Any other upgrades you have on the car?

Sorry for all the questions! Haha.
