What other AMG Car would you like to see on the channel? Here's my latest, an Edition 507 C63 Coupe that's getting a gigantic blower too! ua-cam.com/video/bkBrwb-49nc/v-deo.html
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! What are you guys up to? I have to finish some work at the shop and then we have 2 days of BBQs with the family and, that's about it!
Alex, I think I noticed the silicone bellows on the cold air intake collapsing when you hit the higher RPM and I believe that is what was making it shut down.
Bro I saw that the first time and I was wondering how he wasn’t seeing that! And then I had to scroll for a minute in the comments to see someone else say something about it so then I started thinking I was trippin 😂😂
During the dyno run you can literally see the air filter element moving during hard acceleration like the engine is trying to breathe through a tiny straw! Definitely a major air inlet restriction! Good call on going with the open element filter. Way better than the previous restrictive setup!
This may have already been stated by someone else, but as I watched your initial runs, the intake tubes would move abruptly at around the 5K RPM mark--at first I thought you had some sort of dynamic motor mounts, but then realized the rest of the motor wasn't really moving. I think this also supports your theory as to restrictive air draw. It was as if the air filters hit their limit and then the boxes would deflect simultaneously under that kind of max vacuum. Hope you had fun in Indy--I'm a former Wheaton guy but was born in Indy and am a huge motorhead--you are living the dream buddy. Best, PK Pilcher
OJ is hysterical...... He smiles and laughs for smoothie king........ But when you floor it for a pull he's straight stone faced "Yeah it's moving"....... You need OJ on more often.
This episode was f**kin awesome! The upgrades to the wagon, the track, the road trip with OJ...this episode had it all. Thanks for always making Saturday mornings great!
Watching you over the years has been amazing! To watch you become more knowledgeable after every show, to watch you tear apart complete engines; V12 or otherwise and then put them back together again, to watch your total fearless approach to all things mechanical and I mean ALL THINGS has been truly wonderful and inspirational to watch and learn from!! You have such a fantastic personality, mind set, work ethic, moral code and boundless integrity that you should be required viewing for all folks wondering what they want to do in life. To see all your hard work pay off as the number of fans and subscribers grow close to a million and that this fact has led & allowed you to purchase dream cars and fix them all to levels only dreamt about years before. You’re an inspiration to so many, myself and my son included, and I wish you continued success knowing that you will continue to grow in both knowledge and business acumen. I’m 75 years old and you will outlive me by many years and it is with much regret that I will miss watching your continued success on your show and in other avenues of success as they open up to you. Good luck my friend even though you don’t need it as you have everything you need to obtain phenomenal success!!!
Alex and OJ are a tour de force technical pair for base AMG Mercedes knowledge combined with deep understanding of the most effective modifications creating an entertaining brew of power and speed. The best!!!
Good to see the E55 on a post again. I have always had a soft spot for MB wagons and that is one of their best designs. Good to see OJ back on the channel. Thanks, Alex. Hope you didn't get sick.
Sitting here watching you guys trying to dyno the wagon with it cutting out, the FIRST THING I thought was, look how hard it’s sucking the intake tubes up when it cuts out! I wondered if it was just an air restriction causing that!!!!! So glad you guys thought of that and took them off! Cuz that most definitely was the problem!!!! She was hungry for MOAR AIR!!!!! 😅😂 let’s see where she stops NOW! 😃😃😎👍👍🤜🤛👋✌️👌👏
People on the forums talk about those filters being a joke for actually making power. To me they look more restrictive than the factory panels. And now your video seems to confirm that. I personally lik rhe look of the stock boxes, AMG took time to make their engine bays look nice 👍
I love this channel, my week is not complete without seeing Alex spreading some positive energy no matter what the situation. Keep up the great work man!
Of all the car collections i see on UA-cam, my personal favorite is the LSC car collection.. everyday use vehicles that can,and will, rip your face off and then just blend into the surroundings... Alex is the sleeper king!!
When I was 22 I was diagnosed with cancer and had to go see a specialist in Indy the week before the Indy 500. Your footage at the end brings back memories like it was yesterday (14 yrs ago). Watched some qualifying where you were standing. Good stuff!
Wagons are my favorite type of car. Comfort and plenty of cargo space with great visibility. Never had a performance wagon. I'm pretty sure I'd get into legal trouble in anything faster than 0-60 in 7.4 city blocks.
Thanks brother! I try to have a true beginning, middle and an end in each video were we actually accomplish something. Thanks so much for watching! Alex
I've never wanted to own an E55 Wagon more than I do now, after watching your awesome video. Incidentally...I like how OJ becomes even more stoic when you to some highway pulls with your new set-up... LOL.
I started LSC with your E55 videos. I was in the market and found your videos very informative. I ended up buying an '08 Z06. The E55 is still on my list.
Alex you convinced me to get in the garage on my 2011 C63, got her tuned to 530hp and am putting Moshammer fender flares on the back. Little nerve wracking cutting and grinding on my $25k baby (as I’m a rookie to body work) but it’s been fun & I’ll get to throw some wider meat on the back to have all the fun!! Thank you for all the awesome Mercedes content, truly a beacon for us 👏🏻
WOW. Just got an alert for your vid a few seconds ago. Love the content, told my " Mercedes" friends about your channel. Keep up the good work, you deserve all your success!!!
Great video and I love the E55, wish you could have shown that Mustang what real HP looks like. Too bad you didn't get on track and hope you are feeling better.
Alex! The wagon content is what brought me to your channel in the first place! You are the one who made it a dream car for me! Hoping to buy an E63 wagon one day!
Noticed the intakes moving a lot in the higher RPM so I focused on the y-coupler on the throttle body and it was collapsing which is what was causing the engine to fall on its face. Obviously removing the air filters created less of a restriction but the coupler collapsing is the main issue. Since it’s doing it with the hood open the coupler isn’t heated up as much so with the hood closed that will make it much softer and will collapse even easier.
This channel is awesome! Alex always has a smile on his face and makes car fixing/modding look so fun. I don't know what E55 or AMG mean, but they sound cool and I want one too. Thanks Alex for sharing your amazing work with us and I wish you feel better soon!
Another fantastic LSC video!! Great job Alex and Max! Alex, you’re such a pro at clean installs… that flex fuel module harness install was cherry 👌👌 So satisfying to watch that huge mess of wires disappear.
Nice to see the wagon again, I had to cringe when you vacuumed the dust around the fuel pump I did that once but broke the seal first and the vacuum sucked in fumes and I blew the vacuum apart when the electric motor ignited (NOT MY BEST MOVE)😊
Loving the wagon, Alex! I’m taking my E55 on a trip to Florida to see my first grand baby next week and I could use the extra room! Lol. 😂 I am going to do long tubes, injectors, looped rail and 85mm throttle body after I get back and it’s getting the bumpers repainted and it will be ‘finished’. I love the car so much and I am looking forward to the long road trip and collecting more memories with the AMG. Thanks to your channel, I have done some very satisfying mods and all of the maintenance that keeps these cars healthy and happy for many miles to come! I can’t thank you enough for what you do!
Holy cow that fuel pump looks so difficult taking apart and putting together inside the tank. I’ve done a lot of fuel pumps over the years including through the backseats but that looks tough
@@LegitStreetCars German cars are amazing to include a door to do it. My old G8 and most of my GM products meant dropping everything or drilling a huge hole. I don’t understand why every brand hasn’t copied this idea.
@LC's Garage I can tell you why some manufacturers don't have access to the fuel pump. It's because they want you to bring them to the dealerships better know as steelership.
@@jasonstrout4502 yea I learned that from my dad 30 years ago, that’s why he taught me how to work on cars. Most cars are through the trunk or backseat but my trucks I’ve always had to drop the tank
I'm curious about the fuel pumps upgrade. I discovered my wagon was running with only one pump for a while and it seemed to be fine so I would have thought the two stock pumps would be sufficient for 700hp but I guess it never hurts to upgrade.
Alex...years ago my wife and I got to do the lap around the Speedway with a motorcycle club we rode with. We were told keep it under 60mph or you can get a speeding ticket. As we got out of the infield and on to the track, there were Indiana State Troopers with radar guns in each corner,except Turn 4. I dropped the bike into second and twisted the throttle to about 90 mph over the finish line and slowed down to exit the track. Still a great memory. Hope you have fun.
Love long form content and your one of the best at it always here when they drop💪. Since tavarish basically never posts due to his current situation hoovie same thing you and m539 are holding up the long form episodes and I love it!
Enjoyed that, love the E55, and always enjoy seeing Travis's love for the Australian cars I grew up on. That VE ute reminds me of one I owned, was a bit older but also black and had those same GTO wheels on it. And going to Indy must have been a fantastic experience. Hope you had a great weekend!
the way the intake was moving after the first few runs combined with the forced rpm limiter it looks like one of the silicone joiners was closing/folding shut at higher rpm, you can reference the Egts at that forced limiter to see if temp raises in correlation
Hello Alex, love the videos, it would be very nice of you to mention the tuner next time (V-tech Georgia). He truly is the most dedicated tuner for us mercedes guys out there! Cheers
Not a fan personally of wagons, but I gotta give Alex some props for making a wagon that is pretty dang cool and a beast under the hood. FILL THE VAN BOYS!
Side note: I love my Ridgid impact gun (and 15 other of their 18v tools. I'm more of a carpenter kinda house working guy, but I am a mechanic too and I use all of Ridgid's 18v tools.. They have a Lifetime Service Agreement and they're made by the same parent company as Milwaukee!! Really good
Looking at the piping that goes up to the intake manifolds, it looked on the first and second Dyno runs like the pipework was moving, when it cut out, could it be that there's some tubing that's collapsing under the vacuum? That would cause the cut out and the rich running. Just a thought. Though I'm sure you've figured this out already - cos you guys a bloody legends!
Man. I need to get my V-8 wagon a blower. It won't make that kind of power but that sound! Glad you got the intake sorted. You could see that passengers' side shift right as the power cut.
I have to say you have impeccable taste in cars! If I had to pick which fleet to drive out of all of the automotive UA-camrs, I'd definitely pick yours!
Fantastic video Alex. Really awesome content I love wagons, so an E55 wagon is brilliant. It looks very stealthy and unassuming. Big power gains ! Loved the Indy content. Hanging out with Ed Bolian etc, and their own cool cars, would b a lot of fun. Real pity u didn’t get onto the track. 😩 Travis Bell is a legend His fleet of V8 Commodores is fantastic That SS Ute is a hugely rare car in USA, but soooo common, here in Australia. Cheers. 👍
Alex.. you've introduced me to a new dream car, right behind the 911. I've never seen this car before only the sedan style, that's a beautiful machine.
Because of the similarities to my M112K in my C32 AMG, your E55 videos have been a lifesaver for maintenance. I know you had a C36 RennTech on the channel years ago but you should get a C32! They can be super cheap to buy, like 5 grand or less.
What other AMG Car would you like to see on the channel? Here's my latest, an Edition 507 C63 Coupe that's getting a gigantic blower too! ua-cam.com/video/bkBrwb-49nc/v-deo.html
An M157 E63 or CLS63.
CLS 63 AMG
Where’s your side kick, I haven’t seen him in any of your recent videos
How about a pre-merger AMG fighter, the w124 e500?
I would like to see you do something to any black series . I am curious just exactly what you would do to one
I love tuners like OJ........dudes just not bothered....he's seen it all. Power is just something he wields on a basis.. love it.
OJ is the man!
@@LegitStreetCars I thought yous had a falling out cause I remember him in your early vids years ago, glad yous still killing it

"That pulls pretty good." High praise from a man that doesn't get impressed much.

he actually half smiled too 😉
He said that so nonchalant that it was movie script good lmao.. freaking hilarious!!!

Because the smoothie gives him the gains. 😁

Travis Bell is a legend
His fleet of V8 Commodores is fantastic
That SS Ute is a hugely rare car in USA, but soooo common, here in Australia.
Cheers. 👍
You can actually classify Alex as a Holden owner, since his Chevy Caprice PPV is a Holden Statesman modified for police work.
Bring back Peter soon!
Given that he was fired and banned from the property I doubt that will be happening.
Beautiful install of the E 85! I was thinking i was the only one left who cared how the wiring looked after the fact.👍👍
How come we never see Peter anymore ?
"Hey's just doing Mustang's things"😂😂😂 OJ nailed it ! OJ is so chill. Nice mods on the Wagon Alex !
WHERE IS PETER..??
Alex.. you've introduced me to a new dream car, right behind the 911. I've never seen this car before only the sedan style, that's a beautiful machine.
Dam what happened to PETER,
Because of the similarities to my M112K in my C32 AMG, your E55 videos have been a lifesaver for maintenance. I know you had a C36 RennTech on the channel years ago but you should get a C32! They can be super cheap to buy, like 5 grand or less.
I love the C32! Great car
In before the Eleventy Billion "Where's Peter" comments from the slow folks!
