We have started working on VR570 Power Stage for 63 AMGs. This package will add software and HiFlow Exhaust Manifolds to VR530.

First prototypes should be ready by next week.

Vadim, your quest should be 750hp for the 63's lol.

JK man, this is fantastic.

Vadim @ FD

One step at a time.

NORTH 44 C63

Hey Vadim, I have the 530 kit from Vic already and now waiting for my C63 to arrive in September/October. What kind of gains do you think we could see with the the 530 kit + software tweak??

This is going to be a fun year!!!! Can't wait.

Thanks

MB Fanatic

I want to make the SL63 the next project car and to be honest I wonder what the tranny can handle.

Vadim @ FD

I have dynoed C63s yet.

Tranny should handle around 600 lb.ft. of TQ. We can also upgrade them.

Vadim @ FD

One side is almost done.

Can't wait! So with the enlarged carbon fiber airboxes in addition to the VR570 we can expect about 590hp?

BoBcanada

good question!!!

Vadim @ FD

Yes!

Hey Vadim,

So will these be shorty headers or high flow manifolds? Or is there no difference in this case? The picture looks more like a header.

Either way I'm getting this upgrade.

Vadim @ FD

These will be more of a header.

There is an extra 1/2'' of clearance that allows us to make a header vs. manifold.

Goatspeed

cool, is the price going to be comprable to the 55's?

Vadim @ FD

Yes, not too far away.

Any idea on when these airboxes will be available????

WOW 570HP! It sounds good.
Is this enough to compete with M5(top end speed) or CTS-V(drag races)?
Just curious.

Vadim @ FD

With 570 HP E63s will not have any problem keeping up with new CTS-V. As far as M5s, both cars are very close stock.

Here is the picture of passenger side that is done.

Goatspeed

Looken good Vadim...but I'm pretty sure that tape won't hold





J/K!

Vadim @ FD

Are you kidding me? It is made from unobtanium. I have to cut it with my laser vision.

What I mean to say was that the bends have been profiled. They will be welded next and than the fixture will be completed and test set made to be tuned and dynoed.

Will it be noticeably louder with headers?

MB_Forever

Vadim, you made my day man....... I couldn't stop smiling for the first 10 minutes reading your new word....

Vadim @ FD

Soundwise, headers do not make much difference unless they are combined with aftermarket mufflers.

Hi Vadim,
I have a couple of questions for you that you may or not be able to answer given that you've said you havn't had a chance to dyno a C63 yet. But, with a few people having dynoed the C63 right around 380rwhp, it seems the C is in fact making around 450hp as claimed by the factory. So, with the VR530 and VR570 based off the 63 making 505hp, I'm assuming for the C63 with both of these kits we would be seeing apprx 515hp?

Or given the fact the C63 is detuned, would we likely see greater gains from the VR530 and VR570, and instead of say a 65hp boost like the other models would achieve, the C would gain more?

Basically what I'm trying to determine is, how do we get the C63 onto a level playing field with other 63s, and then tune the engine from there to see the same hp results

Vadim @ FD

These are the same questions that I am looking to answer. As soon as baseline C63 and load E63 software upgrades into it, I will have an answer.

Hopefully, as soon as next week.
