2010 Mercedes E63 AMG - LPG Converted Everyday V8

Fancy a nice, luxurious, comfortable estate car as a daily - but also want something with some serious firepower? How about the E63 estate for sir?
Two years ago this cars owner converted it to LPG, meaning this supercar-baiting family wagon is even almost economical to run!

One of the best. Top engine, top design, top comfort. The new e63s is a brilliant successor but this thing is my personal favourite

[@popuptoaster]

I don't like this engine as much as the previous generation, personal choice I know but it feels like it has to try to hard to me. Feels less like an AMG powerplant even though AMG designed it, I much prefer the lazier feeling supercharged 5.4.

[@Fee.1]

popuptoaster that’s insane. You can prefer it all day but don pretend that because you do it’s not a proper Amy engine when it’s really one of the few purely amg engines. Lazy engines and Motorsport don’t go together

[@Ghousempc]

Fee he’s talking about the m113 the m113/m113k is one of the best v8 engines ever made, and the best engine mercedes made. I don’t know about lazy response because its supercharged which is direct power so its not lazy. The 6.3 m156 is a engine designed by amg and they never made a road car engine before, because of that it had head bolt issues.

@@Fee.1 First of don't tell me I'm "pretending" just because I don't share your opinion, I pointed out that it was personal choice, second of all I said it doesn't FEEL like an AMG engine, not that it wasn't one and thirdly Mercedes/AMG are not building these cars for motorsports so I don't get why you think that is even relevant?

[@TsLeng]

@das wright it's energy density of the fuel. Lpg by volume has less energy than petrol. So you'll need 30% larger injectors by volume compared to the petrol injectors to produce the same power.

[@TsLeng]

@das wright yes if you use big ass injectors. Which was my original point.

[@dieseldes6578]

As it has 8 cylinders it will have 8 gas injectors. So that's less than 70hp per injector. I have done 100hp per injector on Lpg on a 5 cylinder Audi with capacity left. Power feels the same. It's just on Lpg when coming out of tight bends real hard, the gas can slosh about in the tank as they arnt baffled, and it then switches to petrol. Not a big issue.

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

Lpg if done properly should only decrease power numbers by up to 10%, which again leaves you with good 460ish hp but with 60% cheaper fuel economy

[@YourTransformationUK]

LPG is over 100 Octane and actually gives a circa 5% increase in power. I have a W211 E55 AMG converted to LPG. The limiting factor is pressure in the LPG tank, after a few spirited accelerations it will switch to petrol until the pressure builds. Mine can supply circa 450bhp from LPG but is mapped to top this up with petrol when I floor it and ask for full power. Currently running circa 605bhp.

You didn't mention a fact about LPG that's pertinent to this kind of car - it has a higher octane rating than petrol, depending on the mix (as its a mix of butane and propane) its between 103 and around 112, so higher than any premium fuel but as little as half the price (prices vary a fair bit across the country).

[@bekabeka71]

Such a sleeper! But again 20 litre of petrol per 100 km is too much

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

But then again 20 liters of petrol is like 8 liters of petrol when converted through lpg prices.

[@douglashill2860]

Brutaleon More like 12 litres but it depends on how cheap the fuel is really. Where I live, LPG is around 55% less expensive than Petrol, factor in the 15-20% fuel efficiency delta you're looking at around 40% lower costs than Petrol, which is of course 60% of the cost of Petrol, 60% of 20 ergo the equivalent cost of ~12l/100k. But of course your point is still correct, much cheaper than Petrol.

Vehicle manufacturers such as Vauxhall used to install LPG systems into a certain number of their models as standard up until a few years ago. They don't do it so much these days in order to reduce production costs. It's a shame because LPG is a cleaner fuel and helps towards reducing the rate of petrol consumption. Any reduction in petrol consumption is still beneficial for the environment compared to no reduction at all.

@@douglashill2860 somebody mentioned lpg injectors needing to be uprated? Take it , it costs alot more for a more powerful car?

[@douglashill2860]

Chris G There is some price difference with cars that have significantly more horsepower/performance than most cars. With an LPG conversion you're typically looking at a cost of £1500-2500, including labour, and depending on the type of system, quality of system, or whether you opt for 2nd hand parts. Most of the extra cost involved is usually for cars with more cylinders as obviously you need more injectors, which can get costly.

[@chawenhalo0089]

Nice, dog carrier galore! From researching LPG a few yrs ago the problem is that they have difficulty reaching high power outputs. Perhaps that's less applicable in an N/A engine? Would love an answer on that one.

This is actually one of the cars he's converted, this very car in the video. They all perform just how they used to. The problems you've mentioned may well have been a problem in the past, but the Kits produced by Prins (the system that's on this Merc) are controlled by a piggyback ECU which takes the readings from the OEM ECU and just adjusts them for LPG. Almost no power differences, although these kits usually cost a bit more than the standard ones but for the quality of them it's worth it though seeing as you make the money back saving on fuel.

[@chawenhalo0089]

@@douglashill2860 Thanks, I thought it had do with the actual limits of the fuel itself beyond a certain engine rate, something like 98 RON being more efficient or which-ever thermo-dynamic physics apply in the burning of fuel...

[@douglashill2860]

ChawenHalo 008 Well I do know that LPG has a higher octane rating than standard petroleum (the LPG being about 85% Propane 15% Butane), and so actually combusts better not to mention it's combustion is much cleaner, but it is of course less energy dense than petrol due to its relative density being lower. But it really depends on the engine and the conversion of the car on how much, if any, power loss there really is. It could be 0%, it could be 15%, it could be MORE powerful it's all just to do with the injectors used, how smart/efficient the ECU is, the quality of the conversion itself. So there are lots of variables at play. Chances are if you get a good/excellent quality system fitted by a careful and skilled installer, you're looking at a 0% to 5% power loss, which I would say is pretty negligible considering the 40% less overall cost of running. Anyway ramble over, yes LPG is less energy dense than petrol even though it's combustion in itself is better and more powerful, so if an LPG system were to run at the exact same values as a standard Petrol system, same size injectors, flow rate etc, you'd be looking at a 10-15% power loss.

[@chawenhalo0089]

@@douglashill2860 Thanks for the complete answer, that's perfect. Who cares about a 5-15% power loss on such a powerful engine anyway. As the great man behind the Stratos and F40 once said: beyond 400 bhp, its just the electronics of the car having fun, not the driver.

[@douglashill2860]

ChawenHalo 008 Yep true! Weight matters too, for just pure fun (as in not a daily driver) I would much rather have a 300bhp car completely stripped out and weighing well under a ton than a 1.5 ton 500bhp all bells and whistles car.

[@douglashill2860]

With the system installed on this car you're looking at a 0% to 3% power loss. This conversion was done to a high standard by a skilled installer and I'm sure if you put it on a dyno and ran averages switching back and forth between fuels you'd be looking as extremely similar numbers, if they're any different at all. The actual dyno test probably wouldn't even be accurate enough to detect such a negligible difference.

Not sure how that LPG conversion was signed off. Last time I checked the filler was not allowed to be in the petrol flap and had to have its cover fitted when not being used.

[@angusautogas6839]

Hi there! We are the installers of the LPG system on this car. The requirement is that an adaptor is not needed to fit the filling nozzle onto the valve (apart from in other countries where they have different nozzle types.) So if there is space for the filler valve beside the petrol filler behind the petrol flap, which there isn't on 90% cars, then it can be fitted no issue. This car in particular does have enough space behind the petrol flap area and so the nozzle was installed there for convenience. Also the valve is covered by the petrol flap and so an extra cover is not required as the main purpose of it is to keep the valve clean. This car is certified to UKLPG standards by a certified professional technician, if there were any issues with the installation I’m we’d have heard about it. If you have anymore questions about it feel free to ask! AngusAutogas.

루미 Up here in Scotland most places in the south/east coast are around 50-60p per litre, with Petrol hovering consistently between £1.23 and £1.27. Mileage on LPG is usually around 15% less, so with a 45-55% less cost you're looking at around 40% lower costs overall than Petrol. But as JayEmm mentioned, it does also depend on usage.

[@give_me_my_nick_back]

I see no reason not to give to LPG, it even helps with performance contrary to the common misconception

OMG does lpg work , I haven't watched the full content, V8 LPG? ??

[@ravennexusmh]

Ive had both an e430 V8 in lpg and now a E46 330i touring on lpg. Both felt the same in petrol and lpg. My 330i gives me the same cost per mile as a Renault Clio 1.4 petrol. For example it cost me £43 in lpg to do the 560miles from our house to London and home again.

From what I've heard, older LPG systems used to take around 10% to 20% of an engine's horsepower. But newer systems are much more efficient, general consensus is that it only takes around 5% or so, which in a high horsepower engine like this one you barely notice. LPG systems are a good option only if you daily drive a car such as this one, otherwise the cost is not worth it. Last year I test drove a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX with a new generation LPG system in it. You barely felt the difference switching fuels while driving it.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Yeah, the different LPG systems are fairly confusing hence me not going into much detail on this one

Dont like the performance A class's. Tut tut..... Ive driven loads of Golf R's, S3's, Mini coopers, Focus RS. And to me the W176 Facelift A class (2016-2018) has an amazing chassis. It just does precisely what ever you ask it to do in an almost surgical way. That together with the AMG dynamic suspension, AMG Speedshift DCT with 0.1 second shifts. And its just an awesome car. Which is why i now own one. Yes is has the most powerful 4cyl production engine in the world blah blah. But its not the fastest sure. I have an old but tuned Saab 9000 2.3T Aero and it Whoops the A45 out on the open road, despite being 23yrs old. 70 to 100 in just 3.5 seconds. Private roads of course.....

[@popuptoaster]

He didn't say they weren't good the point is that you pay Mercedes prices without getting the true Mercedes experience, if it's just the performance you want you can get it much cheaper elsewhere or put the money into buying an older but higher range Merc which will make you much happier, I read somewhere that the A class was the number one financed new car in the UK, lots of people buying them just to say they have a Mercedes I suspect.

[@dj_paultuk7052]

@@popuptoaster Well mercedes did make the cheaper models like the A180, and A180d which incidentally has the Renault / Nissan 1.5dci engine !. Very cheap on PCP plans. £230 a month, drive away. Maintenance all included. Its cheap motoring if your after a new car.

The noise of that engine! My word! It's just... Wow. Just... Wow! Other than a screaming V10? It's gotta be a burbling, monster AMG. Nothing compares to those two notes. It's either Thor battering a minion, or god himself (yes... A V10 is the noise of god himself... Fact) annoyed about not being an AMG. Facts matter guys. When you get to the pearly gates, ask Petey why he drives an AMG and not an Audi V10! You'll probably be banned for (life?) ever, but at least in hell you get to listen to an AMG! Haha.
