What do you drive when you need to get down the street with your kids in record time, just before the ice cream parlor closes? Well, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG BiTurbo might just be the correct answer.

article says 113 trap... should be 133

chiromikey

Mods?

gaspam

thats the car in the other threads about stock turbo M5 results.... it got precision tuned, downpipes and meth

chiromikey

And R888s. So it's tuned for meth and not just running it for cooling?

gaspam

yep tuned for meth now... previously when it ran 10.9 @ 128 it was not tuned for meth and was just using it for cooling, from what i understand

also from what i have read, the meth tune is not that aggressive (not advancing the timing a lot) so that if meth fails and failsafe fails, the ecu still can compensate and pull timing enough to protect engine

chiromikey

Nice!

gaspam

the tuner is kevin baldi and instagram kevin_doesnt_lift and has some pretty stout results from what i have seen... definitely impressive

Fairbird

good , similar to mine but no meth no triple 8 no prepped track .

cocobeex

but i think he is on stock turbo !?

Fairbird

Idk , 133 on stock turbo is very very impressive

chiromikey

It is on stock turbos according to the tuner. Tune, DPs, meth, tires only.

Fairbird

Mine was 10.9 tune only not sure mph , stock tire . 0.3 seconds still great for stock turbo

Gets out of hole nice with not such an ideal tire/wheel combo.

Impressive.

cocobeex

but yours with turbo upgrade ran 10.7/ 134 ??

I guess turbo upgrade doesn't really help in 1/4 ?

As of right now... we're not really sure what turbo upgrade helps. There are quite a few turbo upgrade options out right now, but not many of them will show the results. People can talk all about methanol and how risky it is, but upgrading turbos on your car without proper tuning is risky as well. As far as I'm concerned, this seems to be the best setup (for the money) right now for the M157.

cocobeex

would you please, educate me on the risks of Meth/injection ?
Appreciate it!!!

does the renntech turbo upgrade have proven results?

i thought we were saying in the other thread that "e French" was so quick at the airstrip event because he was running renntech turbo upgrade?

Amg63-

what tire upgrade did he do on his 10.9@133mph run? I too was very impressed how hard he launched it.

Im guessing stock tires can never do that even with 4matic?

chiromikey

I'm sure he was running R888s for all his runs...

kponti

Efrench did not have a turbo upgrade, just a tune

kponti

The answer is simple, it's a white tuned AMG, those are automatically 2 to 3 mph faster than the rest

gaspam

he had a hidden turbo upgrade (probably stage 1 renntech turbo, not stage 2), its been discussed many times... the numbers results in his 1/2 mile events back up upgraded turbo claims (162-164mph 1/2)

do the math, he beats :
-mclaren 650s with little problem and they trap 135-138 in 1/4
-lambo huracan with no problem and they run 10.6/133 stock
- BMS terry burger M5 shop car that traps 127 (beat this car by bus lengths)

how does a tune only e63 beat cars that trap 133-138?

i cant wait to get my W4 kit and call it "tune only" and set all sorts of "tune only" records lol

efiftyfizzle

You might set all the "tune only" records because their last turbo kit (w3) is just about as good as a tune only car.

Amg63-

thank you. So he had a turbo upgrade that clearly is much faster than tune only.

So why is everyone saying no turbo upgrade gives this car any significant power gains over tune only on stock turbos??
