New Plugs Purchased And Ready For Full Service At MB

So I visited the new facility for their spark plugs in which I am getting the B service ( 40,000 ) miles, but I only have 19,000 miles, LSD, Transmission and Brake services and must say they have a pretty nice setup.

I was given the tour of the new facility, but of course was not allowed to take any photos of the shop. Saw their white 2014 E63 with 1,000HP and am impress.

Hmm, projected tip iridium's. Not my first choice, but close up the gap and will be fine I'm sure...at least for a while.

Would you mind what you mean by closing up the gap? These are pregaped as what I was told for the M157? Are you saying use OEM pregaped specs.?

Many thanks.

Anything that says pre gapped should always be checked. Not sure what weistec sets them to, but I'd run them at .022.

Thank you. Is .022 factory spec? Tune spec or base off experience?

No. .022 is a reasonably tight gap for high boost applications. Oems usually .032ish.

Thank you. Just asked my SA to gap it at .022. Hope with all the services I am getting done, my car will drive like its on butter.

I actual only had 6,000 on my Renntech spark plugs, but figured since Im getting everything else service at the 50% discount, might as well change new plugs.

Back to the drawing board for me. I think the Weistec is the Bosch version of the NGKs used by Renntech in the past.

I wouldn't worry too much. When I visited Weistec yesterday and saw their white 2014 E63S with 1,000hp at the wheel, it has the same plugs and was told dyno and drag times will be out next month with specs. so I was comfortable using these plugs.

Oaky. Gapped the new plugs at .022 instead of .024 which is what they gapped it at will help.

LSP getting flushed.

I don't know about you guys. Lately with my IPhone, I can not write a post unless it's replying someone post? Thus replying mine OP.

Is the 1000hp white E63 the W4 turbo package? I'm still waiting to hear back from Weistec with performance and dyno figures for the W4 package.

Yeap, that's the one. 2014 E63S lowered with HRE wheels. They wouldn't let me take photos of their new shop floor, but I must say its impressive. Got 2 GTS, one getting a fully rebuilt engin and transmission on the rack, lots of C63 and a few E63.

The E63 with the 1,000hp as I was told will be having a press release later on this month with performance date and dyno figures.

They worried about the competition spying on them or is the Cold War still going?

Lol. They can smell AMS a mile away. But to fair, they have not official launch this beast with full press credits. It'll give them a little time to fine turn the car before performance data are released which I'm sure it'll be impressive.
