E55 AMG Build PT 3 – More Boost & More Horsepower with these 2 Mods + Winner of E55 Parts Giveaway!

1. I see you use rtv on all the gadgets? Do you do that or am I seeing differently I’m about to do my rear bearings and 82mm throttle body

2. Hi mate, why didn’t you go for the 70mm pulley?

3. Hey Alex! Not sure if you are still seeing comments on your older videos but I still come back and watch these whenever I am planning something on my car! I have already done a few upgrades and added a 77mm pulley and RaceIQ tune and I’m wanting to finish the rest of my E55 supporting mods this year and parts are beginning to be discontinued. I found just about the last set of Maximizer long tube headers in the country and I already have a looped fuel rail and think I am going to go ahead and do the 550cc injectors ‘while I’m in there’, and I found a deal I don’t think I can pass up on a complete 82mm TB, ported intake and spacer and even comes with the factory SL intake tube to keep the factory boxes. It’s completely stock appearing and I have always preferred that sleeper look but I whacked an HOV marker the other day and busted my bumper and lost the center mesh grill but I can’t decide if I like the E63 bumper or just fix the broken one and get it repainted while it’s off to do the intercoolers. I have spent a ton of money with FCP Euro, VRP and, most recently, MK Ultra, and I only have a few parts left to be ‘full bolt-ons’ and if I’m going to tear it down that far, I only want to do it once and I already have an email drafted for Tony at RaceIQ to get the tune I will need for the final stage of mods.

   I can’t wait to get to the finished product and I would not have even thought about owning an AMG had I not seen that first video 4 years ago and I feel like you have been there every step of the way through my build. Thanks for your amazing content and it’s only a matter of time before #legitstreetcars gets offered your own show! Best car content on YouTube!

4. Hi do you know where I could buy some rod bearings for my m113k engine. Because the dealer ship Has stoped making them?

5. Alex

   I took a block of wood and mallet still wouldn't break free!!!

6. I am really interested in purchasing the 85mm throttle body but vrp doesnt have the full set for 85mm only the 82mm with the new snout

7. This channel literally is why I am interested and possibly getting an E55 … I watch these videos multiple times a week

8. How did you get the air intake to fit the bigger throttle body, did you change the y body?

9. Can you port the snout without taking the supercharger off

10. Upgrading to a 77mm supercharger pulley and larger throttle body will the computer need to be reprogrammed?

11. Whats the transmission you brought for the gear change?

12. Hello alex.thanks much for all your vidéos about Amg.I take out my supercharger of my engine.My god it's very heavy.How do you make to put it safty in your engine? Sorry for my english

13. how many shims did you use with new pulley?

14. Yoooo Alex please get back to me on this one …. I wanted to buy a cls amg 55 in my town ….. but when I popped the hood and turned it on …. a bit of smoke came up from the passenger side of the car near the exhaust manifold is …. I know you can’t diagnose the car just by reading this text but gimme your best guess …

15. Hi. I just tried your coupon code on VRP and it is not valid, are you still an affiliate?

16. You ruined the factory collectable car with you're fuckin add ons.
    The E55 AMG stock can outrun a stock 2005-2006 mustang GT .
    And it can outrun a 2004 Suburu WRX . I know because I use to race this car stock . I beat many Honda Civic type R with just a stock engine with Corsa exhaust straight pipe being the only thing I added to gain 16 more Horsepower.

17. Are you sponsored by any of the products in this video.

18. Hi alex Tommel up:) I following your video .. i'am so close to buy a e 55. After ill have sine your video. What should I be aware of before buying the Mercedes e55 ?? I am from Denmark. and I'm not very keen on English. So if you don't quite understand me. I hope you have some patience .. Kind regards Nicolai

19. @LegitStreetCars I also have a E55 2006. I have a power steering leak. Is there any advice or any website that I could find parts? I took it to my local mechanic shop and they can’t find a hose that it leaking. And needs to be from the dealer.

20. oh yeah and 550 injectors

21. hey alex, is the e55 smogable with the pulley upgrade, TB upgrade and a stage 2 tune, thanks im buying a e55 this month

22. Legitstreetcars, I have a serious question for you sir. Would you work on a 2005 S55, all the mods you did on for your E55, and what would you charge for all the mods? Please let me know, i live in California, but i will ship the car to your location.

23. Hey not sure if it helps anyone out there, but if you ever have a belt squeal you can't get rid of, use Coffeemate, the white powdery stuff, and rub it into the ribs of the belt and put a bit on the pulleys (With the engine off!!), get it all over if you want it's cheap stuff, but when you run the engine again the squeal should disappear 🙂

24. Hi how much is the all part?

25. I need help with my E55 it was crash and I would like to get some recommendations from you I wait for your response thank you 🔥

26. Does the supercharger need to be removed to do the throttle body? Orndid you just do it to make it a easier install

27. Great video! I plan on adding a Power Stage 3 system form VRP on my Benz 55AMG. Thanks

28. Best mods for reliablity and keeping stock transmission?

29. Great job Alex.What is the name of the music in the video?

30. with what you installed before and with this will run amazing

31. To sum up, how much hp and torque after those two mods ? thx !

32. I have 2005 Mercedes Benz S430, will that supercharger fit my benzo? Any modification please advise…
    Supercharger off S55

33. Hi Alex i appreciate your videos. I have a 2003 E55 and I don't want to go crazy with the mods on my car but i was wondering do I really need a tune if I just change my stock 74 mm throttle body for the 82 mm or if I just change the supercharger pulley for a smaller one?any of these need a tune specially if I want to keep the consumption on the car as close as possible to what it is now? I feel a hesitation on my throttle body on low RPMs and after your experience with the 82 mm throttle body would you still recommend it? Or just go ahead and do a hard reset on my stock one like you did beating up your car in another video?
    lastly do I really have to take the supercharger off if I want to port the snout for the 82mm throttle body? Or there is another way around it to change the snout?thank u

34. Hello. Quick questions. Fuel pump related. Are the fuel pumps, both pumps should work on idle only? Only one pump working with my case. Im having low rpm underboost feel. My fuel pressure psi is at 55 only. When I accelerate it needs momentum after 3k rpm everything is olay again. No engine fault code. Most wear and tear parts and most sensors were replace except knock sensors. No air leak. Hope you can give tips to rule this out. Thanks

35. Like E55 AMG

36. How much strain does a new pulley put on the engine or SC?  Does it decrease the life expectancy?

37. Do you have a coupon code for fcp euro?

38. What do you think about doing a 70mm clutched SC pulley and a 90mm throttle body with a 3.5-inch intake? I currently have a stock intake, stock SC pulley, a 180mm crank pulley and a 010 intercooler pump with long tube headers and a tune from OE Tuning.

39. I'm doing a 90mm throttle body, I do t want to buy a $700 snout is there a adapter I can use?

40. Alex, is there an equivalent of you in the UK?

41. You made me get obsessed with this car! Here in Italy they go for 15k euros! Too much!

42. Can you disengage the supercharger since it uses a clutch pulley?

43. To second that, I was with Mercedes for 10 years and the 112 and 113 motors are amazing.

44. Hey Alex, How's the TCU tune? Is it shifting harder? Hows the tcc lockup?
