C300 turbo
So the tuning has turned out to be a bit more challenging than initially expected..the ecu of these vehicles are very complex..the final tuning is going to be tackled mid January..so hopefully we’ll have some final numbers soon

the spoiler is from future design ..all the carbon parts on the car came from future

Future design

I originally had 235”s up front and 265”s out back but after lowering the car I had to go to 235”s all around because of the offset of the wheels..my tires are right at the edge of the fenders

Wheels


If I change my wheels again I’m going to 265”s out back again
but as you can see here there’s just no room to go wider due to the fenders and offset

Heres my newest addition to the car

Custom carbon wheel

that’s ****ing lit. I was going to invest in 245s in the back but honestly with stock suspension I think 265s will fit; am I right? Also as far as your exhaust and the back fire you’re getting in the video what would you suggest for my w205 if I want that amount of backfire?


this is what my car currently sounds like without the mufflers and primary resonator: when shifting with the paddle shifters I sometimes get a loud backfire but it’s not quite as consistent as I’d like it to be. Possibly open down pipe?

Tires
you can actually fit 275”s under the stock suspension with the proper offset ..265”s are no problem

the c63’s come stock with 265”s out back and the c63’ is the same as our c300

if you want the consistent “burble” or fire it’s really about the tune

take it to a good tuner like amr and they can load a fire breathing tune into it with the exhaust you have

Catless downpipe would help but I don’t think you’d really need it

wait til you see some of the fire breathing pics of my c300 that were captured while it was on the dyno

everything will I’ll be posted once the tune is done

C300
I actually JUST dropped my c300 off at AMR again today for what I hope is the final tune

they think they have the mapping figured out so we should be able to get a solid high boost tune on it

if all goes well I’m hoping to get it back by Friday this week!

fingers crossed

in the meantime ..check out this bad boy ..900whp c63s they’re tuning up at AMR

Has anyone run just a methanol kit without upgraded turbos? I currently have a catless dowpipe with a cutout.

i don’t think you’d see any benefit or gains from a meth kit on the stock turbo

from what I understand the meth is really used to lower the intake charge/temps ..with the stock 12lbs it wouldn’t give you anything
my meth is tuned to inject at around 12-13lbs +

This big turbo upgrade by turbokits is making 25+lbs of boost in my c300

900 whp must have been a typo.........with those compressor housings 900 whp is never going to happen, they simply are not able to move enough air

unfortunately we had some bad weather in the northeast that affected the power in Connecticut this week ..so amr lost power for a few days ..which affected the tuning

I’m hoping they’ll have the tune wrapped up by Monday or Tuesday

Aj, been following this thread for awhile. My compliments and congrats to you on your project.
Starting the same here, ordering turbo upgrades, snow meth kit, and burger air intake from Jesse for my C450AMG then ship to AMR. Currently have AMR’s stage2, weistec DP’s, awe track exhaust. Wanted to ask if you had any thoughts or suggestions on how your project went so far with relation to needing other internal engine upgrades to compensate for the higher boost levels?
Again congratulations to you all, and thanks for leading the way!

thanks!

AMR has been great as well as Jesse ..your 450 is going to be a rocket ship!

AMR really knows what they’re doing and can see any signs of internal motor stress or Malfunction while tuning ..so I wouldn’t worry about the internals for now. Rob at AMR mentioned that they’ve been able to make some pretty killer output from the platform you’re starting with.

I also have a 2015 Jeep SRT that I just had a new turbo motor installed into..it’s not quite done yet but when I get it back I’ll be bringing it to AMR for some fine tuning!

That is great to hear AJ. Thanks and I look forward to working with them as well. Once you get those final dyno numbers, I am sure everyone is eager to see those, don't forget to post please :-)
