Congrats. Great video. Many thanks for sharing. I have the opportunity to swap my current engine M272.940 (231cv) 3.0 to M272.969 3.5 (305cv). Did you change your ECU or not?
Great video! I have a question... in my case I have a broken M272 2,5L model year 2006 and I want to swap it right into a M272 3,0L from a donor car (C Class C280 model year 2009). Do I have to on into any modification? Mountings? Accesories? Harness? ECU? In terms of computer, key, ignition map, etc. Thanks!
Nope theyre all the same the only thing you have to do is get the ecu thats in your car now mapped for the 3.0 tune. I sent my ecu to mercedes swap shop and got it changed from a 2.5l map to a 3.5l map
@@Moneygrip I have a W211 E350 and was told all I need to swap to a M273 V8 was the engine and the ECU from an S Class, E550, or CLS550 with the same V8. All other components are compatible. They've done write ups on the swap at the Benzworld forum...
I got a blown motor on my c230. I have a donor engine( same engine ) . I don't have the key for the donor engine. Would I just swap the ecm from the bad motor onto the donor engine and the key will work?
@@Moneygrip i was thinking the same for my 2011 GLK 350 but i dont got the time, but tbh i wish there was more mods for the m273 like i wish they upgraded the m273 with all the stuff with the sl350's m272 and have it make more power, the m273 i feel as if its capeable of like easy 500hp NA
@@Moneygrip ya know i was thinking about actually modifying a m273, theres a spec sheet of how they made the sl350 m272 have a higher rpm, might take a look maybe i can copy paste what they did to the m272 sl varient to the m273.
Thanks for the inspo might do this
What harness did you use your c230 harness or the 3.5 harness
Theyre the same harness theyre the same engine the difference is on the inside i bought a brand new c230 harness from the benz dealer

@@Hammersmith954 no 716.6 6 speed manual
@@Moneygrip so it won't line up if I swap to a 3.5?
I was so ready to order a 3.5 motor..
@@Hammersmith954 it doesnt make a difference what transmission you have
@@Moneygrip ok so E350 2010 3.5 . I will order it..

Where did you tune the ME so I can tune them as well
