    F160 ECU Tune

  • Advertised gains are estimates of HP and Torque “at the engine” calculated from gains as measured on a Dynojet Dynamometer in ideal conditions and typically show the largest possible change.  Actual gains are dependent on the following: Learn More about Crank HP Vs Wheel HP

    Model – Manufacturers use the same engine in multiple model vehicles and often times they are in a different state of tune, for example: 2008 C63 and a 2008 CLK Black Series.  Both have the same engine, but the C63 has 451hp while the CLK63 has 500hp.  Naturally the C63 will show more gains as it starts at a lower level.

    Model Year – Similar to above, as time progresses, Manufacturers tend to slightly increase power output via software from one year to the next or offer “Performance Packages” with increased power.  The engines remain largely unaltered and as a result, final tuned output remains the same, while the gains are lower as the starting point is now higher.

    Fuel – Fuel quality is HIGHLY important with performance vehicles.  Low quality and/or low octane fuel will greatly impact engine output and potentially even engine health.  Top tier brand premium fuels should always be used to achieve the best results possible.

    Drivetrain – All wheel drive has higher drivetrain losses than rear wheel drive.  This results in lower numbers when testing on a chassis dyno.  Wheel/tire size and weight will also impact chassis dyno results

    Weather/Conditions – Temperature, humidity, altitude, and air density all impact engine performance.  Heat, high humidity, and thin air will all work towards reducing engine output

    Engine Health – Higher miles tends to result in increased build up and lower compression which can and will impact engine output.  Properly maintained engines will have better performance than abused or neglected engines.

    Supporting modifications – The highest power levels require supporting modifications.  Depending on the engine, this could mean forged internals, built transmission, upgraded fuel system, 110+ octane race fuel, etc.

Product Description



The F160 is Maserati's own twin-turbo V6, a 3.0-liter, 60-degree unit engineered and built by Ferrari, using its own block and vee angle distinct from the Ferrari/Alfa F154 family despite the similar-sounding code. Ferrari built it to genuine performance standards, and it shows: across the Ghibli, Quattroporte, and Levante it makes anywhere from roughly 330 to 430 PS depending on trim and generation, real power backed by hundreds of thousands of miles of proven, hard-driven reliability. That combination, Ferrari engineering wearing a Maserati badge, is exactly what makes this V6 special.

Weistec applies that same Ferrari-grade discipline to the calibration: a software-only recalibration, validated to OEM standards, that leaves every factory protection (knock sensing, thermal management, OBD diagnostics) fully intact and every factory component exactly where Ferrari put it. The payoff is substantial: from 345 to 495 horsepower and 369 to 500 lb-ft of torque, a genuine leap that turns an already serious V6 into something else entirely.

Complete The Upgrade

An ECU tune alone won't remove all factory limits or fix how power reaches the ground. Add these to round out the upgrade with no limitations.

What is a CPC module?

The CPC (Central Powertrain Control) is a separate control unit that manages things like the active exhaust valves, radiator fan, intercooler pumps, and speed limiter. On many newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles, it also houses torque limiters that can hold back an ECU tune from reaching its full potential.

What is a TCU tune?

A TCU (transmission control unit) tune delivers faster, firmer shifts with higher line pressure, reducing clutch slip and increasing the transmission's torque capacity. It's a worthwhile upgrade on its own, or paired with an ECU tune for a fully sorted powertrain.

Good to Know

  • This is a reflash of your original module, not a stand-alone unit.
  • Power gains vary by vehicle, modifications, fuel, and operating conditions (ambient temperature, altitude, etc.).
  • New or upgraded spark plugs are always recommended when tuning.
  • Product may not be emissions compliant. Check local laws prior to installation.
  • Always use a battery charger during programming.
