After the rear bumper is removed there will be a grommet on right side(passenger). I sneaked it from there and then continued through the rear right side quarter panel and then i found an opening through the back firewall. :)

@@AMGChronicles1 okay thanks. Will give it a try!

Thanks mate, glad that you found the content useful. My contact info is in the about YT page. I do this for fun so I will try to get through everyone at some point :)

check out their page. There few cool options that you can add such as upgraded actuator which I got and thermal coating which I also got. And they happen to future this project on their website as well. www.turbokits.com/2015-2021-mercedes-c450-amg-c43-amg-turbo-upgrades-by-turbokits-com.html

Thank you. This is why I created this channel to help the Merc community and the ones who are willing to get their hand dirty :)

Agreed, I will experiment with some 3D printing and once I find a way to make it as OEM as possible I will make a video about it.

Ive cleaned the engine bay with soap and sprayed bunch of water everywhere. Then I used the leaf blower to evacuate most of the water. Have not had an issue yet. Done that 8 times since i got the car.

Soon, intercooler video will be done and to the passenger BOV, I will talk about it when in upcoming videos for maintenance

@@AMGChronicles1 Thanks, because I will be taking the same aftermarket intercooler that you have placed in and also I will be installing the BOVs and a video will help me a lot. Can't trust any of the "mechanics" around here to bleed the system properly...

Thanks, this is why I created this channel, to be honest I just went with the flow. Never done this before and no mechanic will take the time to record the steps. Also it would be much easier to take the engine down but I decided to take the longer route. Happy that you enjoyed the content. More to come :)

I'm not familiar with code. What is it for?

@@AMGChronicles1 Turbo 1 Underboost

I could, everything cost money so I have to budget for all these parts and not to mention balance family life, work and hobbies

I have installed pre-facelift S63 AMG coupe (the "scratchy" m157) exhaust on my S450 coupe (after the secondary cats) and left the flaps permanently open because the AMG ones are vacuum actuated and mine are electrical. The car sounds good even with the primary and secondary cats on. Planning on removing the secondary cats (actually it is just a filter for EU models) and keeping only an H pipe there, like the pre-facelift S450 (the S400). My advice is if you are putting C63 AMG (performance) exhaust, you an keep the flaps open, not a big deal. I have no drone and the car is not raspy or anything. Can send a video.

I would assume so, but to be sure I would contact weistec support to confirm. Another idea is to find someone with c450 or c43 and take some measurements of the original Intake.

Can you send me a picture. Email info is the channel description

@@AMGChronicles1 unfortunately it’s all back together but it looks normal, but the 10mm won’t grip or catch because it’s stripped, irs like a circle shape now

Gotta drill it out until it collapses in on itself​@@Boosted.450

@@c43sedan happen to you too?

@Boosted.450 No, that's what must be done to remove stuck bolts, every other method is a waste, you just get 3 different sizes of high end drill bits and work your way up until it disintegrates, the hole you drill will spit out material until the screw comes apart. You must buy a new bolt

Great question, video is coming out shortly, I just swapped the the speed and rpm dials from c63 cluster. I had it coded but it got replaced when the new tune got uploaded. Speed doesn't read correctly after 80mph at the moment but not to worry because I will cover the infotainment system to 2020 model so everything will get replaced again 😉

@@AMGChronicles1 like an oem 2020 digital cluster? If so that would be amazing and a full step by step install would be greatly appreciated

@Boosted.450 yes all oem , the cluster, bigger display, infotainment and newer versions steering wheel. Everything will be programmed and retrofitted

Glad you liked it!

Not sure to be honest, I can ask and I will let you know

There is one already, check out the other build series where I talk about the intercooler and its issues

Mine got to 5k but we are working to move it even higher. Tuner is working on a new files soon and video will fallow after that.

Intercooler is already installed. Ive talked about it in the build series. Check them out. I do have to make a separate video on it soon.

@@AMGChronicles1 oh okay I didn’t know that. Which one did you get? So far the spool intercooler seems to be the best

@@hectorgalvan4700 I went with CTS Turbo Intercooler

Usually, people just disable the stationary rev limit (typically 3000-5500rpm depending on the car) and allow the car to hit the actual rev limit (in this case, somewhere around 7000rpm)

@@tescoshortage Yep, i was just being facetious lol

;) not all the way but close.

Weistec have already done that. Visit their web and check out the dyno results

👍🏻 Do you know if those intakes fits the 2017 SLC 43 AMG?

@@MarMPB Not sure but shouldn’t be any different slc43 engine is slightly smaller but it should fit

@@MarMPB You know Im not really sure to be honest. The best thing is to contact Weistec support on this one. Unless you are willing to make it work :) and show us how it done.

Soon ;)

Do you some who has done it, if so have they documented the process

I will reach out and see what they have to say. I've ordered a new air inlet duct and I will try again.

Intake is great, I would do a dry fitment on the first part of the intake where the vents attached to the front support. Check out my intake video, where I show a small issue. Otherwise it an amazing intake

got them from www.ctsturbo.com/product/cts-turbo-high-flow-cat-set-for-mercedes-benz-c43-c400-c450-e43-e400-e450-with-m276-engine/ Also the links to all the parts should be in the video description. Dont forget to tune the car if you get the cats installed otherwise it want make much of a difference and you will have a check engine light as well.

Probably, but check weistec.com or send them an email to make sure. Engines are the same, but I'm just not sure the way it attaches to the front support bar.

Great question, I will make a video about it tomorrow. .. did not ran into any issues during installation, but you will need a rivet tool.

Made the video for you .... let me know if you have additional question. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLyfZbiBy5fWooE.html Hope that earns me a subscription :)

It is my dream car as well... I don't think I would ever sell it.

;) when I find safe place I will post numbers

agree he’s putting up number u can with stage 1 on 93 , and he on hybrid turbo needs new tuner

Afraid to push it further just for a few more HP.

@@AMGChronicles1 they’re safe up to 500whp/tq so you have a good amount of room but it’s up to you

@@Boosted.450 on pump gas? or ethanol.

@@AMGChronicles1 e30 blend (e40 with upgraded pumps) or race gas

Agreed!

I think so too!

;) we can agree to disagree on that one.

In a perfect world yes. Car is lowered and is not possible any more

2016 c450 amg or according to mercedes, now known as 43 amg. ;)

@@AMGChronicles1but thats not the same, c450 has a 7 Gear and the c43 9 Gear Speedshift

@@C43BEAST Microfiche does not show it as c450 amg anymore. While i was at the dealer I asked them "are you sure we are looking at the same parts" and they told me that within Mercedes there is no difference anymore. So not sure what to call it anymore :)

First ones of the 2016 C43 hav3 7g box

I would presume I am. Tune suggest that if I mix E85 (up to 4 gal) and the rest premium, it should bring me up to E30 and that would be good for the engine.

@@AMGChronicles1 420 whp w/ turbos all those support mods on e30 is terrible number ( no hating ) is your tuner keeping it on low boost ? u should be makin 490whp on that set up , ik it save to keep right under 500whp

@@AMGChronicles1 i’ve ran e30 on my 43 i put 4-5 gallons. but if ur not tune for it ion think i makes huge diff with 93 oct tune ,

We can push for even more but, we have to consider that I would like to have this as daily and abuse it as much as I want. If we push too much and I break the engine then it defeat its purpose. At some point I will build the engine to support 5-600 hp or more so I can enjoy it without the worry of breaking it.

I can confirm with the tuner, but I would assume it is. Otherwise not sure why he would suggest it.

Also, please talk about your wheels set uo. You got'em on point!!!👍👍👍

Thanks a lot. That is why I created this channel and no one had detailed content about the C43's... Plan is to be OEM + build, I dont wish for this to get out of hand and have some crazy mods that are impractical for a daily.

@@pablorafaelhernandez4228 So the upcoming episodes that i will be working on is the wheels and suspension, gauge cluster and infotainment system and overall maintenance procedures.

@@pablorafaelhernandez4228 Im trying to create content as fast as possible, manage my regular job and my family. :)

Alright man, I'm already subscribed! The stance in your car looks very good. Going further will be stretching it, so the OEM+ look is the way to go, I think. I tried installing the 63's wheels on my and the look improved, but is missing that tucked look. Thank you for taking the time of doing this and sharing it with us. Keep it up! 👍

Yes it is the factory ecu, but I don't know which software is used to tune ecu and tcu.

:) we will find out of one way or another.... I am a bit worried but I trust the tuner. As long as you don't introduce all the torque at once, then I think it will be reliable for a while.

I have a 2017 SLC 43AMG with a stg2 tune, inbox BMC air filters and direct downpipes. My tuner is probably the best in my country and did all my cars (and a lot of much more special super cars), so I trust him too. The thing is on the SLC, although he got an excellent 70+ hp in the mid range rpm, on the top rpm the car only gets like 30hp more than stock (only 400hp at the engine). He said that he can’t go higher because there are signs of starvation of fuel! I never heard of that. People talk about connecting rods failure only at over 500hp like you said. Do you know something about that starvation risk problem? I’m a bit frustrated with that result because my 2019 911 got over 100hp at max power on a conservative tune for track days!

@@MarMPB I think he is running out of fuel and having less fuel it means it lean. That can cause extra heat on the pistons. According to my results im at 440 at the wheels, so add another 18% loss on the 4 wheel drive, the engine should be around 519. Tuner does not want to go beyond that because of the fuel and the rods. I would say stay withing the limits to be safe.

@@AMGChronicles1 Thanks! Sure. Safety is always priority. But I wonder if bigger capacity injectors could solve that. That W.3 Turbo Upgrade is very tempting…😈

Thanks, I opt-in to keep original exhaust because it sound so good already. But I got other mods coming in the pipeline such as retrofiring the 2019 infotainment system with digital cluster.

yes I bought a c63 cluster and swapped out the gauges. Also need to small tune for that because the speedo will not read correctly afterwords

@@AMGChronicles1 amazing. How difficult was the swap and did you program it yourself or did you bring it to a shop?

@@drivescene6747 I will make a video about soon, showing how its done on the old cluster. And yes had to bring it to tuner to set it up.

@@AMGChronicles1 sounds good, looking forward to it

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wawa wewe

Estimated 580 at the wheels on dynoJet... Cant push it too much because the engine is still stock and need to go on E85

Aways a good idea
