Any updates ??

Nothing yet, not sure what to expect ?

I have asked to have the cam advanced for response without worrying about what it does to the top end.

It was suggested that with my set up , it would tune close to what I want on E85 but unfortunately that would only be used when available and that would not be too often. I want it to be as good as he can get it on 98 pump?

So I will wait and see how it turns out :/

V-Cam ?

Does it ever end when you chase a dream :no::yes::no: ?????

Mercedes are so over rated, my oldman has had E and C class... the amount of times they've been in for repairs :rolleyes: he's going back to Jap built cars, the last straw was when the sunroof dislodged the whole roof limning assembly on the C230, just out of warranty too. Some of thier engines are nice but as whole they're not as good as they once were.

This is where you're a bit wrong. It should read 'they weren't as good as they used to be but they've rediscovered themselves and are now awesome again. Your old man has an old model car. C230's were a fair while ago. I'm massively biased (I'm sales manager for an MB dealership) but the current product is incredible. We've got the new model C63S sitting on the showroom at the moment and it's a work of art! The twin turbos sit in the Vee of the engine and looks amazing. Everyone needs to do themselves a favour and go into a dealership just to hear one start up and rev. They have a bi-modal button that when you press turns a great sound into a sound you would happily donate your left testicle for. Seriously!

You forgot to mention how the early C63s head studs corrode and they loose coolant, and eventually do the headgaskets.

Only took 3 years for them to rectify that one...

On a serious note, yeah, they are cool cars. I thourghly enjoyed monstering a CLA45 on the track. In a straight line those little turbos are mighty impressive.

Ha ha, yeah I'm not going to say the current fleet are perfect until they prove themselves but compared to the 80's, 90's and up till 2013ish models, they are a huge leap forward in terms of styling, build quality and handling.

Our DP got to attend the AMG GT and C63S launch at Bathurst 2 weeks ago. He's not a car nut but he was amazed. Flogging AMGs at 270km/hr down Conrod straight is enough to convert any non car lover!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
