I have a 2012 C63 Coupe that ive owned since last August. Its Artic White exterior with Porcelain White Interior and Carbon Fiber Trim. Through out this time ive accumulated quite a bit of modifications to the car to get it to the beast that it is today. Previous modifications i had on the car before this latest round of mods are

Exterior :

-20% tints
-Blacked out Grill/DRL/Window Trim/Rear Spoiler/Amber Corner Lights
-"Black Chrome" C63 + ///AMG Rear Emblems
-19 inch Forgestar CF10's wrapped in Nitto NT05
-Retro Fitted Factory Halogens to 5000K Morimoto HID Projectors thanks to fellow forum member "Thrilla" that walked me through it step by step
- White powdercoated Calipers with black AMG logo

Performance :

- Eurocharged Handheld loader with V4 tune
- Quaife LSD
- ROW airbox with charcoal delete and BMC Filters
- Evosport UnderDrive Pulley
- Girodisc 2 Piece Rotors with Girodisc Steet/Track Pads similar to ferodo ds2500
- Secondary Cat delete with Straight Pipe Vibrant Bullet Resonators
- MHP 180 degree Coolant Thermostat
- MHP Thermalnator gaskets to stop heat transfer from head to intake manifold
- Thermal/Radiant Heat wrap of Intake Manifold, Airboxes, Intake Tubes, Intake Y Pipe that connects airboxes to Intake Manifold
- Weistec Billet Catch Can

I can review each individual part but it would be a long read and id lose most of you in the process so if you have any questions about these mods let me know and ill give you my honest feedback. My car dynoed at 470WHP on a dynojet on 50 degree very low humidity day on the northeast(sea level) so before you call BS they were GREAT conditions and i will post my sheets. Point is car ran good and was a Beast.

I ran into an issue with my original shop that i will save for another day so i looked around for a new place and it was clear Bergen Imports was the place to go. Harry was very professional and gave me full confidence handing my car over to him. He showed me his array of tools from the latest xentry MB/AMG computer programs to his knowledge of exactly what was needed for my car. One example was previous shop said my MCT trans just needed regular MB Fluid but Harry showed me documents that it was a special Blue oil specifically for the MCT transmission. So long story short he was Knowledgeable, Straight forward, and didnt promise the world cant ask for much more.

This Round consisted of

Exterior :

- Revozport RBSII Big Fin Diffuser with Ground Effects Panel
- Mode Carbon Lufstrom Front Spoiler

Performance :

- MBH Tri Y Headers, MBH Catless Midpipes, MBH X-pipe
- SLS Spark Plugs (One Step Colder)
- Eurocharged Headers Tune with new increased 7500 RPM Redline
- C63 Black Series Oil Cooler with Modified Air Duct/Brackets to fit non BS Bumper
- C63 Transmission Cooler
- Using SDS to enable "Desert Mode" That kicks radiator fan in at earlier temp
- Using Xentry to enable Auxillary Side Oil Cooler by Passenger Wheel Well to kick in at lower temp.
- Replace Driver Side LSD Seal that was leaking due to install error of original shop
- Full Oil Change
- Full Trans Oil Change/ Service
- Quaife LSD Oil drained and filled with 75W140 Redline oil


REVIEW :
Harry had all this work done in about 8 days simply incredible turn around time especially with the Grade A quality work done all at a fair price.

- MBH Setup - WOW ! What a monster the amount of mid range and top end power this car makes is incredible. Its an absolute monster on the highway the power delivery is viscous and only gets better/faster as the revs climb. The X pipe added in the low/mid range torque it "lost" from the big 2 inch primaries and the car takes off from any rpm and pins you into the back of your seat. We all know how brutal the sound is i dont have to do to much explaining on it. best part is ZERO drone on the highway in 7th Gear and as soon as you dip into the throttle its roars. The M156 is truly an animal when fully uncorked what an N/A powerplant so happy i got to grab one and experience the last of the Mohicans. im totally satisfied with the power and if i get bored im sure Weistec can throw me a bone

EuroCharged - No surprise here these guys just do the right thing and kick *** like its normal. I was happy with my non header tune and am ecstatic with the new header tune. Part throttle is smooth and WOT is perfectly linear from my world class Butt dyno. They also got the MCT working amazing the upshifts at redline are lightning quick accompanied by a loud pop that we all love from the MCT. Downshifts are crisp and smooth no jerkiness. The new 7500rpm redline is great and the power still feels like its climbing all the way up there plus its great to have that cushion when driving in manual mode so you dont bounce off redline.
A great breathing N/A 11.3:1 compression ratio 6.2 Liter V8 with long tube headers and fully catless exhaust spinning to 7500 rpm thats what i call an Eargasm im sure you can imagine.

SLS Spark Plugs - This was necessary since i increased over 100 wheel horsepower from stock so a colder plug was the smart thing to do. Obviously i cant feel the effects but no doubt the idle is much smoother and im sure its helping the engine run strong and healthy

Cooling Mods - Anybody with a Facelift C63 that pushes their car hard knows how awful the cooling capacity of these cars are. Within a few minutes of driving the car hard with WOT runs and constantly keeping the revs high id be able to get the car to over 250 Degrees. Keep going at this level for a bit longer (15-20 mins) and BOOM almost 280 degree oil temp and limp mode. It was like a **** star that went all softy after 10 mins No Good. Even when i had the thermal wrap, thermostat, and gaskets the car would still get there to quick for a supposed "sports coupe". The combo of the new BS coolers, earlier fan activation, and higher quality (Total) oil finally solved my biggest issue. Ive had the car for about a week now and Sunday i took the car out to push its cooling limits. As hard as i tried i could only get the oil to 235 degrees max and it would come down FAST when i got off it temporarily. AMG obviously did their homework with the black series to solve this issue. Harry/Bergen Imports had to modify the air ducts that route air to the oil cooler because of the different bumper of the Black Series. I also didnt do the BS Aux Oil Cooler just the main central one so harry went to a Hydraulics Machine Shop to get a custom line made that had the right fittings pressed into them to connect BS main oil cooler to Stock non BS c63 Aux cooler.

Overall im very happy with the latest round of mods and cant thank Harry/Bergen Imports enough for their quality work done in a short amount of time. Keith/DadsC63 also helped me alot on the BS coolers and found me the supplier so big thanks to him aswell. So i bit the bullet and became the guinea pig for the Black Series coolers on a C63 coupe with the stock bumper/ bodykit. I think anyone else that has done it also did the BS bodykit so now you guys that have a c63 and just want the cooling capacity of a BS know its doable ! Just dont do the Black Series auxiliary cooler that needs the BS Bumper. Its also not needed the temps are rock solid so all you need is the center coolers. Let me know if you need any additional information.

I will post pictures later today when i get to my home computer

Awesome job, I have a few friends with C63's that suffer from the overheating issues when driven hard, I'll pass the details on over to them. Any more details on where it was mounted and which air duct was used to route air to the BS cooler? Thanks!

Hahaha nice, but you should've went to bruce @ TTM

Jk

I'll have to look into the BS Oil Cooler because 280 degrees on a sunny day happens too often for me...

Great write-up. Your car looks incredible and with those mods I'm sure it will perform just as good as it looks. Harry is a great guy and does exceptional work. Good to see another one of his customers on here.

noodleman

Ezec63--good job but when are you going to get serious about your mods?

Amazing activity. Is your front grill painted, wrapped or bought?
