[@SanderFun27]

You have no idea how much we appreciate you showing your audience that stuff breaks regularly. So many KZbin car channels edit out all of the brittle plastic, torn rubber, and broken wire connectors. So then when a novice starts to work on a car they become discouraged and feel like they’re doing something wrong when everything is brittle and falls apart like broken glass. Thank you very much for being real and honest.

Fun project if you have an extra 10k min, in the cookie jar, doing all the work your self of course. Mechanical nirvana. You will defiantly need posi -traction in the rear end. Any way to put wider tires on the rear? Nice build, have enjoyed watching, thanks.

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

I know I'm not the only one here who has Alex to thank for inspiration & confidence in my (our) Mercedes ownership & diy. And as far as BMW goes, Streten reminds us you really just need to know the platform/chassis & give it what it needs when it needs it. In the wake of EV's being forced down our throats, I really hope we can continue with the content of this video for as long as possible.

[@TiptronicSS]

Seeing how mint the engine is, this car is totally worth a supercharger change. I hope it will make a difference 😅. Awesome chemistry with Peter, also all smiles and positive vibes. We work all week to see LSC weekly +-40mins (feels like 4m), snacks drinks,nsit back, relax and enjoy moment. No crazy car teardowns, always respecting the car, no awkward crap. This is a fine art.

[@I_am_Allan]

Escalade: "I got a new super charger!" BMW: "I'm getting one!" Alex's kids: "We're not going to university or college."

[@taelorwatson9822]

Not unless you supercharge your grades, or learn a sport

[@chiefdenis]

College is mostly useless anyway so not a huge loss

[@htownblue11]

Good stuff as always Alex. Pete is a good addition to the channel, and seems like a heck of a friend to have on the LSC team.

[@TiptronicSS]

Agreed, awesome chemistry

[@victoryroadperformance3131]

Been wanting to get one of these kits into your hands for so long! So glad we made it happen! Excellent video as usual! Looking forward to your results!

[@pmarin3855]

The kit parts shine like jewelry!

[@Shiftheads]

Thanks for helping to bring great content. Sponsors are great

[@Mikrrii]

Best tuning guys out there for M113K. I have 4-5 VRP parts and LOVE THEM.

[@taelorwatson9822]

I totally need one of these for my Infiniti G37S. I can only spend the wheels in four gears. Perhaps if I wait for the rain, or get some ling longs

[@spenceradamsjr]

I also want to see how it works out. Been looking at this kit for my SL55 for a while now.

[@djmtndew]

I like to use dielectric grease or silicone lube on any electrical connectors. It makes them easier to service and Keeps moisture out of the connector between services or sensor replacement whatever you have going on. Also, I find that because you have lubed your connections- things break less often especially with mid 90s to early 2010s German/euro cars and their wiring

[@4DGeorge]

I, too, am a HUGE fan of putting dielectric grease in almost every electrical connector in a vehicle!

[@copofcops406]

Alex makes my weekends so much better, thank you Alex!!

The supercharger is for safety. That's all. Perfectly reasonable.

[@TwinVisioned]

I have this same kit on my car plus a few other goodies. VRP really is the best in the M113k business. Their continuous development and quality of work is top notch! I have a few loose ends to tie up this spring and she's going to RIIIIIP. Great work on this video and your channel in general. Always excited to see your next video...especially Benz stuff! 💪

[@quinflores2652]

What an amazing kit, only thing I’m missing. Got my e55 because of Alex and his channel after watching for years. Love the content.

[@sanchexx4215]

Yessir I been waiting for some e55 content

[@C25A1guy]

Just wanted to give some advise from my long experience in motorsports and using o-ring cord. Most areas that don't see too much pressure, if the cord is cut to proper length already, you can take the 2 butt ends and superglue them together, however your method of using RTV in the ring groove is perfectly acceptable (only main difference is I would have the start/end section somewhere along a long straight section versus butting together in a corner). I also like to use a little dressing or sealant in the groove area to help hold the cord in its groove for installation. Typically I've used Molykote 111 for areas that won't see a lot of fuel, and Permatex 85420 for areas that would get a lot of fuel wash (i.e. large volume intake plenums with secondary fuel injection). Otherwise love the content and keep it going! Also wanted to mention I loved the water ingestion for carbon cleaning. It gave some very significant proof on water/steam efficacy on cleaning carbon buildup in the combustion chamber.

[@nicholasvinen]

Alex's new motto seems to be "supercharge ALL THE THINGS". I fully expect to see one on his vacuum cleaner soon.

[@stuartd9741]

LMAO! Don't give Alex any ideas!

Safe to say the wagon has been "whipped" into shape lol. This makes me really wanna boost my C55 🤔

Alex you are 100% in the zone with these M113's, you make it look easy. One of the nicest Benz's ever, killer work

[@OnkelPHMagee]

"LSC" actually stands for "Let's SuperCharge."

[@BrianCrofoot]

WOW! That billet 92mm adapter is BEAUTIFUL! I have an old school Weistec kit and retro fitted a Hellcat throttle body on it, and it’s not nearly as pretty as that! I’m super impressed with the VRP kit! I do like the upgraded intercooler in the Weistec kit though.

[@norseman4763]

Alex, not gonna lie, a little envious you get to spend all your time now wrenching on things you enjoy without having to deal with customers. Good content, keep it coming! Max, keep up the good editing.

[@banshee4268]

I watch these videos of you fixing and upgrading your Mercedes and it just makes me wish I could afford to fix my c32. It drove fine until the supercharger pulley cracked and I let my brother take it for a bit to fix it because I don’t have tools and he took the whole supercharger and everything off and I can’t fix it because I can’t afford tools. But your videos give me motivation to work harder in life so I can make my dreams come true

[@toolzshed]

Yayyy Peter is back 🤘🏽

[@zx1100a1]

Alex, you took a lot of aluminum off the intercooler tabs. They look very thin now. In hindsight would it have been better to split the difference?

The 2nd heat exchanger could block the transmission oil coolers, and they are very importnat. I had a W211 220cdi from 2002 and it overheated on a mountin road bc pre facelift cars did not come with the transmission oil cooler. Beleave me it was not fun, the thing was stuck in 2nd gear the colenoids were dead shut. TCU recorded temps up to 190C. I was going slow shifting with tiptronic 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st all the time

The wheel fitment on the wagon is insane. I'm still working out my fitment on my e92 335i (my coilovers are LOW).

[@friguy4444]

Awesome! I love these cars! I'm wondering are you going to do something similar with the 335i? It will be a lot less expensive I would be willing to guess. But I guess that depends on what you actually end up installing on it and if you decided to do the internals on it as well. I love that "0 to 60" are doing a build like that but for budget people to learn what works and what doesn't in the world of cheap small budget BIG power for those like me who love power and luxury but have an incredibly small budget. LOL. I would love if you decide to do that too. But I guess we'll have to wait and see. I would have said "Hey maybe after this you could build an amazing big power super handling car with the E30" but you gave it away instead. Sigh.... Oh well maybe they'll do something cool with it. LOL. Keep up the killer content! Thank you!

[@possumpopper89]

Does it seem sensible to install a huge throttle body when all that extra air still has to go through the factory size opening in the inter-cooler? It would seem you would reach a point of diminishing return. Wouldn’t increasing the ports on the inter cooler be needed for larger throttle bodies to see a useful increase in airflow?

[@stuartd9741]

I was thinking the same. The Merc intercooler is quite small. Thou there must be some over engineering/ extra capacity available above standard tune.. Think Alex is looking at 200+ hp boost. If he wanted to go 800/900 that intercooler might then start to become restrictive.. Well soon know when he puts in on the Dyno......
