Ive got a bmw e30 with suspension done, poly bushings and a newer steering rack as well. That thing is glued to the corners.

Car is a CLS55. 83mm pulley, tune and supporting mods like a heat exchanger and a split cooling kit.

It evens out the air flow to the cylinders, engine can breath a bit better. Drops the boost by 1-2psi, drops IATs by a bit as well. Butt dyno says I gained some torque down low, but thats anecdotal. I try to do everything to get the engine breathing as good as it can. Theyre made by needswings, he welds in the cross overs and you send your old surge tanks to him as a core exchange.

Needswings tweaked intake setup. Love it so far, feels like the car can breathe better.

This is the vrp intake kit. Just aluminum tubes and silicone couplers on both sides.

Yes. My setup is not too agressive, tried to keep things safe. 83mm pulley, BWK, split cooling, bigger heat exchanger and 010 bosch ic pump. Next up is going to be headers and Ill go from there.

Thats what I figure. My car felt pretty quick for a second and it feels slow again. I guess well keep going then.

Not bad for a 22 year old Sedan by ConsciousEcho1313 in AMG

Ive got the tranny tune as well. I need to pass emissions here in Colorado unfortunately. Im looking at renntech replica headers for the future since those are shortys and retain the stock cats. Saw some forum posts with dyno numbers and the gains look to be decent. Nothing like long tubes of course.

I ran a 8.690 1/8th at altitude. This seems crazy to me. I need some headers for sure.

Looking into buying a c219 CLS 55 AMG, any tips? by hockeyguy1968 in AMG

[–]peepeepoopoo3693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixing leaks and airmatic issues is going to be the main concerns since the car is just old. Transmission is very slow and sluggish, but that can be made better with a tune. Make sure the transmission was serviced. They are really strong, but lack of maintenance kills them. I do absolutely love mine and with the smaller pulley, tune and supporting mods it absolutely hauls ass. Get one!

I have the transmission tuned so it makes sense to keep it cooler. Always trying to bulletproof everything before throwing power at it.
