The RENNtech R1 Performance Package is the perfect entry level performance upgrade for the E 63 AMG. With the combination of the RENNtech ECU Upgrade and the latest, 3rd generation Diverter Valve RENNtech is able to add up to 91 HP and 155 LB-FT to the 5.5L V8 BiTurbo engine (compared to RENNtech rated stock performance). The addition of the upgraded diverter valve helps the engine to handle boost spikes in high boost pressure applications better. A surplus of boost will be released to the atmosphere and the turbocharger can be supplied with air quicker after the shifting process. This helps to eliminate the 'Turbo Lag'.
The R1 performance package increases performance to 696 hp and 801 lb/ft at the crank, without sacrificing daily driver comfort or reliability and offer huge gains across the entire RPM range.
Due to increased power and boost levels, 93 Octane or higher gasoline has to be used with R1 upgraded RENNtech vehicles to avoid damage to the engine. States known for poor fuel quality have to be supplied with a lower power setup. Please call for details and Race Fuel options.
R1 Performance Package includes:
- RENNtech ECU Upgrade
- RENNtech 3rd Gen. Diverter Valve
- BMC High-Flow Air Filters
Notes:
- The R1 Pkg requires an additional core charge, which will be credited upon return of OEM turbo tubes to RENNtech. The tubes have to be returned in good condition. Deep scratches and dents will void the credit.
- We have found the M157 engine stock performance numbers vary from the baseline figures claimed by Mercedes Benz. We typically see higher baseline numbers than claimed by the factory.
- Power gains are calculated based on stock numbers measured by RENNtech.
- Crank Performance Numbers are calculated with a 17% Drivetrain loss on 4MATIC vehicles.
- Our numbers will be dependend on conditions and fuel quality. 93+ Octane gasoline is mandatory with this Performance Package.
- States known for poor fuel quality have to be supplied with a lower power setup. Please call for details and Race fuel options

RENNtech has become the premier Mercedes-Benz specialist and Hartmut Feyhl himself is regarded by many as USA’s foremost authority in Mercedes tuning. His vast experience comes from 12 years spent at AMG Germany before serving as the North American division’s Technical Director. Prior to the tuning company’s merger with Mercedes-Benz in 1999, by the request of AMG Germany, Feyhl branched out on his own to start RENNtech and service the existing AMG North America customers.
Performance without compromise. This is the foundation upon which we have built our reputation. Established in 1989 by Hartmut Feyhl, RENNtech has evolved and grown from servicing AMG’s customers into the foremost authority on tuning and customizing AMGs and Mercedes-Benz. RENNtech also offers tuning solutions for Porsche, Audi and Bentley vehicles, along with other European luxury cars.
Over the years, we have developed high-performance products for virtually all Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles. Some of the most notable among these are the 200 mph RENNtech E7.4RS (which claimed ‘Fastest Sedan in the World’ honors by Car and Driver Magazine in 1996) and the more recent 945 LB-FT 5.5L V8 Biturbo RENNtech R3+ Monster. Each of these vehicles are just a sampling of what RENNtech has achieved, featuring extreme performance, upgraded aesthetics and a fit and finish that rivals factory vehicles.
We design, engineer and manufacture our proprietary line of tuning products in-house at our facility which features a full fabrication and machine shop with CNC and rapid prototyping capabilities; in-house performance dynos, complete engine management and software tuning capabilities along with a complete service/repair/installation facility and a full-time design, engineering and sales staff.
Our headquarter facility is located just north of the Palm Beaches in Stuart, Florida
