C43 AMG Turbo Upgrade Build Series Day 1

In this video, I'll start by disassembling the passenger-side turbo and removing accessories. In the next episode, I'll demonstrate how to split the turbo in half for removal from the engine bay, install a high-flow cat, and assemble the new turbo.

Finally, someone building a c43, this car is so underrated and perfect to build

[@dimitardonev]

It sounds nice, can’t wait to hear it afterwards.

[@AMGChronicles1]

See my dyno shorts.

If anyone is working on the W205 and you will be unplugging anything, make sure to disconnect the main power, plus remove the engine ECU.

[@AMGChronicles1]

Aways a good idea

[@martinsimon9145]

Omg! The wheels beautiful! Oem or replica? Type? Thanks for your answer!

[@martinsimon9145]

And size 19 or 20”?

[@C43BEAST]

Nice Job! Do you think you can remove the turbos without removing the entire engine?

[@AMGChronicles1]

Yes, in the next two episodes you will see how it's done. I'm almost done editing

[@FaisalMajdalawe]

Can you list the part numbers for the gaskets and o rings you changed?

[@AMGChronicles1]

Sure, I'm on vacation and when back I will.

[@FaisalMajdalawe]

@@AMGChronicles1 thank you! Enjoy your vacation!

[@cjettaccord]

Sweet!

[@AMGChronicles1]

Thanks!

Now with going over 500hp do you have to worry about the connecting rods? From what I understand the M276 has forged pistons but not forged connecting rods and the wrist pin are weak and you can throw a rod when going over 500hp.

[@AMGChronicles1]

:) 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.

[@MarMPB]

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!

[@AMGChronicles1]

@@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.

[@MarMPB]

@@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…😈

[@Classicman.43]

You could have just driven it up on those ramps, no?

[@AMGChronicles1]

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