It's Continental ExtremeContact DWS all season tires.

hyperion667

what kind of numbers do you get with a stage two tuned 550?
your car looks nice

cocobeex

The tech was saying should be around 580-590hp / 660-670 torque.

But I think that's really a optimistic number.

Gotta get it on dyno to see the true number.

But from my BUTT dyno, it gain a lot of power no doubt.

hyperion667

jesus.......that's a lot of power, more than my 63.....a sleeper for sure...and have you modified your exhaust or is it fast and silent?
would love to see some acceleration vids

cocobeex

It's loud...

hyperion667

sounds nice, thanx for the video......looks like a good place to rip

1) The car is absolutely gorgeous, WOW
2) Are those Verde Axis 20s? Can't quite tell what wheel design it is but it looks prefect
3) Is that the sound from just catless downpipes? Or is it the full M278 Downpipes and Exhaust kit from Weistec that's around $6000 USD?
4) I know you're 4-Matic, but are you staggered? Those tires look wide as hell out back, like 285s

cocobeex

Haha ~ True, never say never...

Actually, This car still have room to upgrade on performance.
But....its kinda overkill.
The tech said this car can be tuned to 650hp/715tq by upgrading xxxxx...
But i really dont want to mess up the drivetrain. Unless I upgrade to Bulletproof Transmission...etc.
Also, thats like burning money into a whole new level. lol

Hopefully, that itch never come!!

cocobeex

1. Thank you Thank you!!!
2. Those are Niche Misano Rims 20''
3. The sound is coming from Muffler delete and Weistec DP&MP package Catless.
And yes, thats the one $5995 on their Site. (But I bought it off from a member here. Saved whole lot $$)
4. Yes, it is staggered. Rear is 275.

hyperion667

man, have you done anything to the suspention or brakes?

Airmousam

Coco, car looks and sounds awesome, nicely done!!!

Tonycpa

I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised How do you like the ECU Tuning Group (ETG) tune? I see they are priced similarly to OE Tuning.


Agreed. To go to Stage III is approx $20,000+ for the upgraded Garrett turbos, installation and misc upgrades to handle the POWA. Economically, the cost of the HP/TQ increase doesn't make sense.

cocobeex

Hmmmm.........
It's equipped with Airmatic. It's kinda soft actually.
I really want to upgrade the suspension too.
But I couldn't find anything to replace Airmatic.

As for the brake...
my friends told me I really should upgrade it too, before I kill someone or myself...lol
I was eyeing on Brembo package. But it is so Damn expensive. Maybe I will upgrade it next year.

cocobeex

Thank you!!!

hyperion667

yeah, need more braking power to stop......all that power, enjoy the ride

cocobeex

I am glad they have people locally, So, I don't have to ship ECU out anymore.
And the guy is really knowledgeable. I Love it.

I would only spend that kinda of Money on E63s later. To make it ultimate MONSTA

Tonycpa

Couldn't agree more. The first thing to do is find a highly reputable one-stop performance shop that specializes in MBs, and has been in business for at least ten years, close to home and do not let anyone else touch the car EVER!. Smart man.

When I got those quotes for Stage III they told me the same thing and I agree with them and you. There are much better solutions to making that power if that is your goal. I am also planning on building a 2016 E63 S in the future. I thought I saw an article on the front page of the forum stating that 2016 is the last year they will produce the larger displacement 5.5L Biturbo but I could be wrong.

AMG is switching to a 4.0L Biturbo ... https://mbworld.org/articles/amg-det...t-best-engine/

How SOFT are performance engines going to become ?

cocobeex

I thought that new engine will only be seen on the new E generation.

If I am really getting E63 later, I am gonna get 2014 or 2015 E63s.
1. Price is right.
2. Stock number is already pretty amazing.
3. With all the matured tuning upgrades. I feel more confident

hyperion667

^I went from a 550 to an E63 also.....but then I upgraded again to my current CLS.....current models really have big TQ and power, I don't like the 4M though.....no burnouts lol

AMGAffalterbach

Yeah but with 4-Matic you can smash anyone off the line with all season tires lol, I'm excited what the new 4.0TT has to offer the E-Class. It is virtually lag free from what I've heard, turbos are easily accessible, sounds amazing, and is just the ultimate evolution of the 8-cylinder. Audi had it right quite a while ago too, two super high output 4-cylinders stitched together that are an effective 2.0L a piece. The M178/M177 are - according to Chris Harris - super stout, the block is able to hold 1800 psi without issue. That's insane.

Tonycpa

I wouldn't consider anything other than E-series from MB only because I prefer the lines of the AMG E63 S 4 door sedan over the AMG CLS63 S 4 dr coupe. However, both the 2016 AMG CLS63 S and 2016 AMG E63 S have identical HP/TQ numbers stock 577HP/590TQ and their prices are very close as well ($102K for the AMG E63S and $108K for the AMG CLS63 S), so it's just personal preference between those two, both are amazing (I just think a coupe should have 2 doors, but that's just me).

Yes, the AMG E63 S 2014, 2015 and 2016 with a RENNtech Stage I tune for $3,500 will put us at 669HP/734TQ without any other upgrades (identical for their tune on a AMG CLS63 S). For $3,000 a Weistech Stage I tune will provide 608HP/660TQ..

Tonycpa

The 2016 AMG models are all 4MATIC now, right (at least I believe the E63 S and CLS63S are)?

I would never drive anything but AWD after having experienced it in my E550. I'm happy to see AMG go that route.

I am sad they intend to decrease the displacement from 5.5L though. Damn, enviromentalists.

Tonycpa

Yes loud and sound sweet. Just found part 2 of your clip on Youtube
