Pre-Dyno Inspection: Setting the Stage for Success

At HD Tuning, we believe in meticulous preparation to ensure optimal results for every vehicle that comes through our doors. Before commencing the dyno tuning process, we conducted a thorough inspection of the 2012 Mercedes Actros to ensure it was in good condition and suitable for the procedure.

With the Actros passing our rigorous assessment, we were ready to proceed and unleash its true potential on our in-house bogey drive dyno.

Custom Dyno Tune

Once the Actros received the green light, our team strapped it down onto our state-of-the-art dyno, preparing to extract the power hidden within its engine. Before making any modifications, we ran a baseline test to establish the stock power and torque figures generated by the vehicle at the wheels.

The initial dyno run revealed that the Actros was producing 318.5Hp and 1414.9Nm of torque at the wheels. Comparing these results to the factory flywheel figures of 510Hp and 1844Nm, we observed a 60% driveline loss in power and a 30% loss in torque.

With these figures in mind, our skilled technicians delved into the Actros’ Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to perform our custom dyno tuning. By fine-tuning various parameters within the ECU, we aimed to optimize the truck’s performance, driveability, and fuel economy.

The moment of truth arrived as we completed the custom dyno tuning and prepared for the final test run. The anticipation was palpable as we unleashed the Actros’ reinvigorated engine onto the dyno.

The dyno sheets displayed astonishing results. The Actros, now fine-tuned by our experts, roared with newfound grunt, showcasing a remarkable increase in both power and torque. The horsepower surged to 406.9Hp, while the torque soared to 1725.4Nm. This translates to an astounding power increase of 28% and a torque increase of 22% compared to the baseline figures.

The Actros was now a force to be reckoned with, its performance optimized to deliver exceptional power and acceleration while maintaining superior control and improved fuel economy.

To provide a comprehensive overview of the transformation, we present the Flywheel Power/Driveline Losses graph. This graph captures essential data, including the dyno results at the wheels before and after tuning, the percentage increase in power and torque, the rated flywheel power and torque from the factory, the driveline loss percentage, and the estimated flywheel power and torque after tuning.
