best mods for making power with m156

Guys I need your help,

i've been seeing some m156 c63s making good power on the dynos on instagram as well as random YouTube videos. I have a m156 e63 and I'd like to start doing what's needed to make it even faster. Can you guys kinda give me a road map to what I should do? Thanks!

M159 or M157 swap. Nothing else you can do to your car

Row airboxes, headers, tune, then swap it with a 2.0 turbo. Jk

Upgraded header bolts.

What happens with these cars is that the engines actually make so much power from the factory, that as exhaust gas is being pushed through the headers, overtime, the bolts begin to stretch and such, a gap between the block and the headers begins to open up and a lot of power is lost by way of zero back pressure.

All you have to do is order and install the new bolts, and you'll notice an immediate increase in throttle sensitivity and feel as the turbos no longer have to spool the supercharger to create boost in the vacuum.

EDIT: Okay that was fun, but headers and a tune and you'll be all smiles.

2013 E63 had a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8. You won't find much help here - cars in this forum are all powered by the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8. You might try the W205 forum (the newer C63 turbo v8s) at https://mbworld.org/forums/c43-amg-c...-amg-w205-187/

So you're trying to mod your 2013 m156 e63?

Sounds like you already have.

"Making more power" doesn't necessarily translate into a faster car. You can try weight reduction / un sprung weight reduction. Drive line improvements etc. All which should net a "quicker" car.

Tune, ROW, Flex Fuel = 470-480whp (roughly a 90whp increase over stock, takes 2 hours to install everything and you can do it all yourself if you're handy). If you want to get over 500whp, just add injectors and long tubes.

I own Eurocharged ATX, PM me or call the shop and I'll make you a killer deal

Thanks
