What do you have left to do? Were you able to get the e55k pulleys you needed?

After i'll start the car only tuning, then when everything will go right i'll work on cooling. today i almost finished everything but did not start it yet, monday will see.

I'm so excited to see this thing fire up, I can only imagine your anticipation.

Today i got time and finished everything then i fired up the engine, everything went good, next week i'll do some runs and we'll see...

MIKESV8

videos of engine running?

loudandheard

No CEL and no issues so far? I guess it's time to rename the beast the C37 AMG, lol. I expect with a tune and if everything is all good, you should be seeing 450+ whp, hopefully more!!!!

Not yet, i must see the boost but only thing missing now is an air filter that fit on my Tb where there is a small area, then i'll take it for some runs and i'll check what will be the boost with the 180mm pulley which is now on the car.


i forget to take video, on monday.

Video cold start up:

i am now waiting Jerry to reply and send me a tune with max fuel to test, cause i test the car now with 550cc, at 2000rpm wot the car detonate severely and afr at 19-20. I think i need 800-1000cc injectors.

How easy was it to remove those sidewalls that seperate the engine and the battery?

Robert AMG

Only 4 bolts after you remove the plastic cover that is below the windshield.

MBfinatic

hmmm Ok thats great news..

Did you do the looped fuel rail, suppose to help quite a bit. I'm sure you'll get it all sorted out.

I try to never post, but this deserves major recognition. Someone had asked me if an E55 blower swap was possible and I replied no just two weeks ago.

I have a 3.7 Block and 55K pistons on the shelf just waiting for when I finally manage to break my C32 in a way which I cant fix.

All of this is being lurked next to the Options C38 which is the title your car deserves if MB can call that other car a C63!

Congrats on the baby girl as well.

P.S. I have Eurocharged LTH who else is in that club?

I didn't do the fuel rail, i don't see that we need it like the E55 cause we have 3 injectors on each side not 4 also i'll install the bosch 044 fuel pump in line after the stock pump.


Thanks, here in Lebanon we are 2 with LTH me and "Ali Saklaoui" who is also on the forum and Jake owner of Eurocharged also and now we knew you have a set.
if you have time to read all this thread you can see that i ended up with n/a 55 pistons, the 55K pistons will make lower compression ratio(below 8).

the looped rail applies to any engine not just the v8. as the fuel hits the end of the rail the pressure builds backwards causing a pressure drop at the back of the engine. i prototyped the looped rail for bruce at ttm for the last 6 months pr so. initial install fattened the tune up 2 full afr points and with the finished product and fuel pressure sensor installed i had better readings. prior to the install i showed 58 psi at the end of the rail. after the install the psi showed a more accurate psi of 56 and at wot i now see 53 psi at 16 lbs of boost. without the loop i would be thinking i had 58 psi all the time

good info, maybe the bosch 044 will help.

I have Jake's it was part of his upgrade path to the E55.

I dont mind under 8:1 I am running E85 now and fighting fuel pump issues. Once they are solved I have 4 barrels (who wants one?) of Ignite 114 Red that I am either going to run straight or blended with E85. Then stacked pulleys or I am really liking the blower swap. I run a 185 now our mod lists were almost the same until you pulled this one...

I really suggest you look into the oil cooler mod Options did to their car, when I lost a head gasket @ 97k from a blown IC I swore it was the oil cooler and have not liked it since.

Race fuel help if you have high compression ratio.

Today i remembered that i have a tune with more fuel that Jerry sent me before, i loaded it on the car and wow the car run well, i did 3, 4 runs 2nd and third gear, the car need fine tune and more fuel but now it is drivable, it is a beast, spinning tires all 3rd gear.
i ordered today an air filter that sit on the tb, this is the only place i can put a filter for now also i ordered a bosch 044 inline fuel pump.

i am now on stock pulley.

I thought about the fuel setup, my setup will be:
Fuel tank(Stock pump) to outside regular fuel filter (without regulator) to Bosch 044 inline pump, then fuel rail (injectors), then fuel pressure regulator (in the engine bay after the fuel rail) that regulate the pressure before it, and finally from fuel regulator to return line to tank.
like that all injectors get same pressure.

This is simply insane! So glad that some people take their MBZ to the next level!

it's been more then one month now, i was very busy, i did a little work on the car and today i fired up the car again, all i did is the fuel system and modified bigger intake manifold, i ended up with looped fuel rail and bosch 044 pump along with stock filter/regulator, i couldn't fit an aftermarket regulator after a lot of work i don't know why maybe there is another regulator in the fuel tank but i couldn't regulate the pressure: ( i didn't touch the tank)
system now: stock in tank pump- bosch 044 outside pump- stock filter/regulator- looped fuel rail (550cc injectors).
