Sprinter 213-313-513 130 BHP Stage 1 Tuning

When tuning your Mercedes Sprinter, you’re not only looking for a nice power gain with smooth and progressive torque delivery but you’re also looking for maximum reliability. That’s where we come in. Whether it’s your work van, a camper, or a minibus our Stage 1 performance software is designed to stay well within the limits of stock components whilst delivering the best possible performance without any compromise on reliability of the engine.

The Delphi CRD2.35 ECU is a complicated and sophisticated system with many levels of ‘tuning protection’ within the software. Through painstaking research and development work at HDI Tuning we’ve learnt to overcome all of the software limitations whilst retaining the factory torque modelling structure. This means we can deliver extra torque and power compared to others whilst maintaining perfect driveability and without needing to cheat the ECU to achieve that power.

For Auto models we found this makes the vehicle a lot nicer to drive as the Auto gear box ECU does a much better job of choosing the correct gear, there’s also no need to constantly change down a gear when power is required as it’s available throughout the entire RPM range.

Our Stage 1 remap for your 130 BHP engine is simply a factory upgrade to the 163 software and will deliver 360Nm of torque. This is a very safe level of tune, but we actually recommend taking our more powerful stage 2 software which is of course perfectly safe for this engine.

Sprinter 213-313-513 130 BHP Stage 2 Tuning

The stage 2 remap gives us a much bigger power gain, it’s just like a Stage 1 remap would be on the identical 163 variant. The stage 2 remap will deliver 208 BHP and a lovely torque increase to 460Nm. Although this seems like a big jump in power, it’s an easy gain as the 130 BHP engine is simply down-tuned from the factory. Both engines use the same ECU, same turbo, same injectors etc.

You can program the ECU yourself using our online remapping service. For this we recommend to use the Kess V2 tool. With this tool you can you program directly over the OBD port. Please be aware, you will need to use a battery support tool as programming takes a very long time and with the ignition powered on the various systems will draw a lot of current and quickly flatten the battery.

Programming Methods – OBD programming or Bench Programming

Programming via OBD Delphi CRD2.35

  • Obtain a suitable programming tool: we recommend Kess V2, Bitbox or AutoTuner tools
  • Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
  • Connect to the OBD port of your car, make sure you have backup chargers to the vehicle battery and the laptop battery. This is VERY IMPORTANT, the sprinter can draw over 20Amps with the ignition on and can quickly go flat. We recommend to use a specialised battery support tool.
  • ID the ECU and then take a read of the ECUs flash memory.
  • Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
  • Send payment through our webshop.
  • We will modify the software and send back to you. This normally takes less than 2 to 3 hours during working days.
  • Using the same tool, ID then write to the ECU. This will overwrite the ECUs flash memory, it’s important not to interrupt the process. If you encounter any problems we can fix the ECU for you so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.
  • Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!

Programming via KTAG Delphi CRD2.35 (not recommended)

  • Order a suitable tool such as Kess KTAG, or much better is an original Flex motorsport tool.
  • This ECU is difficult to open and difficult to bench program, as such it is not advised for beginners.
  • Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
  • The ECU must be removed from the vehicle, and then the tabs on the lid can be carefully pried open and the casing of the ECU removed.
  • Using a pogo spring probe connect to the ECU board, power the ECU to the ECU connector plugs as described by your programming tool.
  • ID the ECU and then take a read of the ECUs memories for a backup (please save separately, and not as a combined file).
  • Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
  • Send payment through our webshop.
  • We will modify the software and send back to you. This normally takes less than 2 to 3 hours during work days.
  • Using the same tool, ID then write to the ECU. This will overwrite the ECUs memory, it’s important not to interrupt the process. If you encounter any problems we can fix the ECU for you so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about (You can always repair an ECU if you take a full BDM backup of all memories).
  • Straighten the lid on the ECU and seal with a little silicone.
  • Refit the ECU and start the engine.
  • Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!
