it's the lightweight S/C pulley - not a crank pulley

using the resident AMG expert at the local MB Dealer, he's worked on them before and knows the tricks to installing

gotta love a tech that loves his work

when you put the pulley on did you have to change the belt size?
if yes what is the # belt you went to. ? jim

I had a Eurocharged stage 3 package sitting in my garage for over 6 months before I installed it. Not a big deal. Good things come to those who wait.

This!


Plus, hes been waiting patiently for his tech to free up some time in his schedule to make this happen....


So... Toad... You should measure how much tread you have left on your tires, and log it along with AFRs, EGTs, IATs, boost, etc.

I need to start logging! I'm sure everyone will

but what's the quickest way to get going? Bluetooth OBD2 with iPhone/iPAD?

I wouldn't put those colder plugs in unless you are doing more mods like exhaust and throttle body soon.

i think the rule of thumb was every 75-100HP added, you drop down one coldness level in plugs...

granted I haven't logged, so I am going off tribal knowledge on here...
i'm assuming that the pulley (which equates to a 168-172 range crank pulley for power) and the tune would bump power ~60-70HP; other minor adders like freer flowing filters, TTM scoops (for air at speed) - i'm pretty close to the 75 mark

but in all seriousness - what's the concern?

A tune + SC pulley won't give you that much hp. Maybe 40 - 50hp. Filters 0hp. You won't gain total 50hp. Get a header if you want some power.

just going off the EC website, it shows ~60WHP difference from pre-pulley to post pulley/tune


maybe as FTP develops their headers

Very hard to believe 60WHP but who knows ! Post Dyno when you install it. This is interesting and I might do the same.
