If only someone saw that coming and created a site with a vision for the boosted future... Oh wait ;)

I think people have just become spoiled with all these recent big displacement motors. The M156 was a friggin big block for christ sakes...People are going to have to get ready for all the smaller displacement high revving FI motors that are going to become commonplace with all the EPA guidlines.

Bump for a great event!

Im signed up as well :) C63 Coupe - 470 WHP

Check with Gintani -- Make sure the pumps are capable of pumping enough fuel & were designed for ethanol use. Also, I have no idea what specific injectors your kit is using, but I know the most of the ~650 BHP kits use Bosch injectors, which I don't believe were designed for ethanol use (look into Injector Dynamics/Fuel Injector Clinic & see if they make anything that'll work on your S65)

I have no clue I'll need to get more info.

what kind of pumps? how is it routed?

If the car is lighter the 4.0 will be fine. You can get a lighter Benz with the smaller motor that almost offsets it. Look at the drag race video between the A45 AMG with a freaking 2.0 liter four banger versus the M157 CLS63 AMG...

Since my pumps are upgraded I think all I need to do are the lines? I hope so.

Ahhh so your the vtt 135, I was wondering who that was. Nice!

Well I'm sure that AMG is going to do exactly what YOU want LOL. The 4.0L TT will be highly tunable and probably be able to rev higher than the 5.5L motor. Don't get your panties in a bunch until it actually comes out.

Great post, just as I thought.

Do you have any idea how simple it is to remove the ECU from the M157 ? It's located right on top of the motor and literally takes a couple minutes to remove. I agree the handheld tuner is great, but if you want a tune right away, pop yours out and send it to Weistec :D

one that i build you;)

Anyone know what the E92 M3 fuel system would need to be 100% compatible?

I'm genuinely interested in what you have in your stable.

I don't see anything wrong with a 4.0 liter V8 twin turbo personally.

I do NOT want a 4.0 liter engine. I want a 5.5 liter engine. If I wanted a 4.0 TT, I would have bought the S6. AMG can shove this M177 in a chick car. Give me the M157 in a lightweight C63 with 4matic and a DCT. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/scoop/new-mercedes-c63-amg-get-40-v8 http://blog.caranddriver.com/mercedes-amg-developing-twin-turbo-4-0-liter-v-8-for-next-gen-c63-and-sls-replacement/

This event will be the beginning of a new era for our area

Now you changed your avatar again asj;dlfkjasl;fjkal;skdfjl;

Then fuck the bickering and drama I'll settle for having exclusive turbo upgrade content and everything else is irrelevant. Respect. By the way, something like that drives more traffic than sponsoring any event that is over after a day whereas that content is cached by google forever. Just something to keep in mind people.

@BAD430BENZ I agree with you fully, I even still maintain that he will have a good product, but I was just stating the obvious as to why everyone feels he's not proven "yet". I don't know what his hurry is and problem is with the comment because at the end of the day he's not even taking orders right now and by the time he starts taking them there's a good chance he will get the "proven" status. If I was hating I would be bashing the product rather than saying it's going to be great and that he just needs to remain patient with the whole proven thing. I'm not sure why he resorted to personal attacks on me since that's what children do when they have no basis for an argument, but I do indeed find it pretty hilarious. I don't even care who has more toys or whp, but Tony seems to enjoy stepping down to that level. I don't bother to even start listing things up trying to increase the size of my e-penor, this isn't about me vs. him at all. We should stick to the topic at hand rather then getting into childish arguments, the other vehicles that I have are irrelevant in this matter and him as a VENDOR asking a CONSUMER to go have an e-penor measuring contest is ridiculous. If a patient came into my office and I asked him when's the last time you performed surgery with a broken hand and no sleep would I not be a moron? Whether he acts like a self-entitled prom queen or stays off the forums and let's the proof remain in the pudding has no bearing on the end result and I still hope that he can transform the platform and I do truly and honestly want him to be successful in the endeavor. At the end of the day progress benefits everyone including myself.

OKAY.... Although we use so much ethanol here on everything we build we should have our own station on site. I currently do not agree with 90% of DI owners to use it, until there is a better solution and REAL flex fuel strategy. With not knowing exactly what Ethanol content you are running it really cannot be tuned properly. The 10% of people I would say go for it are guys who are familiar with using it or people that are very involved with making power with their cars at the expense of anything. The maintenance required to run ethanol is increased. And as long as you are educated on it and perform correct safety precautions, while keeping your fuel delivery system properly maintained you will never have an issue. I have not tested all the lines yet on the n54, but most so far are 100% compatible. We have a nice solution to the upgraded lpfp pump line popping off however and have tested heavily with ethanol on the n54. Along with the vargas hpfp and rail. We really need a larger turbo car here to have more information on the limits of the upgraded fuel system. Although I know e85 is far superior and safer than using water/meth, the n54/55 platform is only on the brink of being able to properly use it. Therefor use at your own risk and take the time to learn about ethyl alcohol

Feel free as always!

I possibly could help with this exclusive.
