Comparisons are calculated from our own recorded Stage 1 figures.

The Mercedes-Benz C 160 (1600cc) - 129hp is a 1.6L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 129 BHP and 210 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 175 BHP and 310 Nm — a gain of around 46 BHP (36%) and 100 Nm (48%).

This engine has moderate remap suitability, with gains weighted towards torque — you will notice the difference most strongly in mid-range pulling power and in-gear acceleration. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.

Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. Unusually high gain for NA engine: treat as an estimate and verify against the exact engine variant.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.

All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
