Hi everyone,

Some of you may have seen the C63S we tuned last week with PP-Performance. That was a stage 1 tune creating over 100whp in the mid-range and over 175 ft lbs of torque.

Delivered to us today is another C63S which will receive the following:

* Full Frequency Intelligent valvetronic exhaust with catless downpipe
* PP-Performance Stage 2 ECU tune
* KW V3 Coilovers
* BMC Air Filter
* Eurocharged Stage 1 Cooling Upgrade


We hope to have everything done by the end of the week. I will make sure to post the results, dyno sheets and sound clips for all of you to hear. Anyone local feel free to stop by and check it out!

UPDATE: Engine is out! Take a look at the progress so far!

Why drop the motor??
Is this necessary when installing DP's on the M177?

AutoTalent

Makes it a lot easier.

AlexZTuned

So if we purchase your DP's, are you recommending that we drop the motor for installation? That's the first I've heard of anyone doing that -- I thought the transmission could be pulled for install?

Really a shame that it's so difficult to install a simple set of downpipes on this car... the labor alone is going to cost nearly as much as the downpipes.

The GTS has the same problem. Removal of DP is a pita on these new cars.

agree

Its very easy if you cut them bad boys out

Are they so fat? jeez

AlexZTuned

But then you ruin brand new OEM downpipes that are probably worth well over $3k with those pricey catalytic converters. That's not really an option for people that want or need to return back to stock at some point (whether it be for a dealership visit, or reselling the car).

Considering the hot V setup, you'd think swapping downpipes would be a simple 1-2 hour job, not an entire engine or trans pull. Swapping the turbochargers looks to be a far easier job!

Great pics !

Can anyone tell me if the two outer heat exchangers are for the intercooler system and if the central are the engine/trans/condenser?

AutoTalent

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! This car will be complete by tonight. We will have it run on the dyno and I will share the results with everyone in the morning. Stay tuned!

AlexZTuned

The ones in the middle are the water-air intercoolers (red arrows) -- I believe the outer heat exchangers on each side are to cool the coolant for the intercoolers.

AlexZTuned

Sounds angry! What were the numbers and do you have a baseline?

AutoTalent

Car baselined at 453. PP needed to correct something on the tune so we are still waiting on final numbers!

Oky

Did you guys ever finish this up? If not, I would love to come by and check it out.

AutoTalent

The car is still here. Customer went out of the country for a month so we have a little bit of time with it. We had to take the ECU back out for a correction. Feel free to PM me your contact info and we can talk further!

Is the KW Suspension available in the US yet? I called the US office and they had no parts numbers in their system since it was only tested in Germany.

AutoTalent

Yes it is. We have installed over 5 kits already.

AutoTalent

Sorry for the delay guys. Will have this dyno sheet posted shortly!

UGOTMOPPED

Any updates

Chris Estes

has anyone tried or will removing the turbos make the DP removal/install easier?

AutoTalent

Here is the dyno sheet guys. Very sorry it took so long. We have been inactive here for a few months but are now back!

Are those numbers ATW ? great gains if so
