Plugging every one of the perforations in the boxes could prevent the positive crankcase code. They not only introduce hot air and contamination but the ECU trying to compensate. Plugging them may improve your time. Love your videos. GET USE TO DIFFERENT!!!!!
I love the specter pipes first thing I did to my 15 cls63. Well worth it for 200ish. Thanks for your hard work me personally I’m very grateful
Yeah, those cloth ones are junk
Blackboost has an harness for the intake Sensors thst come with the intakes. With those you have Zero Code issues.
I have two m157 cars, 218 and 222 both have the blackboost intakes, thermostat, ecu and tcu tuning, I have had experience before with weistec (catastrophy), AMS and locally tuned in Germany, none has beaten Blackboost in overall Performance and driveability.
The owner of Blackboost is a great lad that cares for the Quality of his products and customers far more than only profit Driven is my personal impression, especially compared to some other US based companies. I personally would always choose to use blackboost again.
Just my 2 cents :-)
Appreciate this video. I went with just K&N filters and always wondered if I should've went BB instead.
😃👍
Good video as always + great testing and analytical conclusion ❤
Thank you!
So in other words, better getting the TCU update vs BB intake.
Awesome video, thank you for the attention to all the details !
Exactly my thoughts
I have a Weistec TCU tune on my M157, don’t expect miracles, little bit (10%) faster shifts and no difference in 0-60 runs, I have the S63 Cp though, so no launch control.
Good video on the black box
Thanks man!
Thanks for the comparison. waiting for apple carplay diy, please help out with that. I have the same car from 2016
I've been looking for an install vid for a minute. I have a similar setup that I put together. It just didn't cost $1500😅. I always wanted to know where they ran those wires. I'm happy my placement is similar to what they did. Thanks Bro.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great job man!
To get rid of the codes all you do is add some rtv to the sensors where you placed them in the intake tubes. It’s picking up the slightest of air leaks.
You also need to give the ecu time to adapt. And you can also tell your tuner you have bb intakes to add into the tune. Guys who have done so are averaging .4-.5 of a second 60-130. I also picked up 3 mph in my trap speed both in the 1/8 & 1/4 just from the intakes.
Good video! 👍🏽
The o-rings on the sensors feel very snug, I think we are all trying to work it out on the forum, hopefully there is a fix
Welcome back. Super helpful video once again. Thank you 🙏🏻 Video ideas 💡 🤔...
- Integrated Radar Detector installation
- Rare view mirror mounting & power tap for standard Radar Detectors. Uniden R7 for example 😆
Either one or both 😆
I actually filmed this during the "headliner rattle " vids but deleted it.
I'll see if it's still on my computer.
But I hardwired my r7 to a switched 12v source in the overhead console.
@@ExoticCarDIY ❤️ Would like to know which mount you used for the R7. Thank you 🙏🏻
@@meznehemia i use this one in all my cars. it tucks it up right against the headliner which is my perference www.ebay.com/itm/185449408753
Weird, I've had mine on for over a year now, scanning the car with my autul scanner only shows the intercooler pump rewire code, nothing about the bb intakes
love your videos! great work!!! Could you please make a video of changing spark plugs?
Spark plugs are pretty easy you need a special spark plug socket and 1 inch 1.5 inch 2 inch 3/8 drive extentions (Lowes has a Kobalt $20) set. You also need the patience of Job.
Swivel head ratchet & handle-less ratchet (harbor freight) may prove very useful for you. GET USE TO DIFFERENT!!!
I plan on doing a sparkplug vid showing the indexing technique as well as a transmission fluid change. Im glad these are helping owners, to be honest. Im a little discouraged since these videos take a long time to make and the literally make pennies. I could just work overtime shift at my real job and i would be more compensated then in 3 years of YT
Can you do a video changing the crankcase breather cover? Mine is at 79k and its leaking badly. It drips onto the cat and smokes up.
I know the owner of blackboost. I can see if he can get you new plates if you want them. He lives about an hour from me
But as far as the performance.. yours and mine are spot on in times with my dragy. We are part for part but I do have a rear muffler delete. The bottom end doesn’t bother me but the top end pulls like crazy. We are going into boost weather so I’m going to re-time the car and see how it works. That’s all with 50+ psi in the tires 😉
I love the cold weathers effect of cars! :)
To answer your question about the intake pipes (fabric pipes) spool makes a silicone replacement
Thank you so much for the the information.
Absolute, huge thank you from me. I'm so glad I stumbled on your comment! 🙏🏻 Lol I've been looking for something of decent quality that will last and doesn't look like terrible.
I had mine tuned, then black boost intake. Sound is good. But noticed biggest difference when I did down pipe. 2014 e63
Also I do agree the price is a bit much. I don’t know if I would purchase again
Yeah, based on my experience on my own car and Friends cars, it really appears that if you're within 150 horsepower of stock, the factory intake is more than sufficient. The horsepower per dollar gain is not really justified. But you're right, I did downpipes on mine and even with a stock tune, I've noticed a much more dramatic response and the sound is great,
@@ExoticCarDIY yeah you get to a point with this motor where the money investment for hp gain is just not worth it. Seems like 730 is the stopping point
CHALLENGE: Do a video changing all 4 O2 sensors on M157 W212 WITH NO PROFANITY!!! I changed mine but the swear words were BOUNTIFUL!
You do the best AMG videos! Thank you!
GET USE TO DIFFERENT!!!!
But that's impossible! LOL. Now I actually did the O2 sensors in my engine mount video, in my opinion it was the hardest part of the job.
In all seriousness, that's one thing you'll never find in any of my videos, any form of profanity
great test, sadly even go back to the e55's mercedes aftermarket has alot of here you go parts and tunes, with no data
Makes me kind of want to buy an e55 again
@@ExoticCarDIY maybe one day i sell the 11.25 stock pulley car! lol no its a keeper
Hmmmm tuned and with the BB only about a second increase.. looks like AMG do a great job from factory
Agree, AMG did a great job. I actually sold the intake already, running OEM AMG intakes again
I want to point out a few things to consider in response to results.
Mercedes neuters power via the tcu. The further you go out on the shifts the less and less it intervenes.
First gear is limited to like 480lbft load at the engine
Second gear is 550lbft
3-7 is 660lb. An ecu tune doesnt eliminate those limits. Hence why your times and traps are relatively unchanged before the 1/8th mile.
The blackboost intakes gained 3mph trap on the backend in your 1/4mph tuned dragy. Thats actually quite a bit for just intakes. Also the .57s reduction in 60-130 times says it all for me.
So much so I’m considering them for my gle. And i much rather like the look of the stock intakes over the bb.
Where can I find documentation that supports this information? This makes sooo much more sence now....
@@marquemozes not so much as documentation that you can read, but they are clearly defined limits within the definitions of the tcu tune. You would need software to see these definitions.
@@PoonFlavoredTang So, will the TCU tune eliminate or rather have capability of more power in the gears? I have the ECU tune, its fast but I can tell it doesn't feel complete. Weistec says the tune allows for more line pressure but, I'm not exactly sure what that means.
@@marquemozes yes you can get more clamping pressure by raising the line pressure. I’m sure they will have limits on the tcu. What they are you would have to see if they will even tell you. Eurocharged supposedly ups limits by 20-30 percent. I’ve heard the edok tune is the one to get tho. Everything else doesnt come close for tcu.
cls63 5.0 should have been 5.5 😂
After you removed the blackboost intakes in more recent videos- what did you go back to for replacing the OEM “fabric” intake tubes- I had Eurocharged complete my plug service, at 62k and the one fabric tube (left side) practically disintegrated upon reinstall
I bought a set on ebay, like 40 bucks shipped.
For the fabric maybe a little bit stronger than the OEM stuff... I'm not happy with the quality. They actually look a little bit narrower maybe?
Anyway I would likely buy a set of OEM ones even though they're also junk. Or possibly make a metal intake like I did for the black boost once I get some time
Hi bro, thanks for the informative video, I have blacboost too and downpipes etc etc, I would like to get those ingtake pipes can you link me to them or a part number please? Thanks M
The are the Spectre Performance SPE-9429 9429
pipes and then 12" silicon tubing from eBay. Note, they sent me 13" and I needed every bit of that to reach.

Hey where did you buy those 22* intake pipes from? Thanks.

Hey man what was the Da? Your times for stock are very slow even tuned is pretty slow. Great video just curious
Why do you think it’s slow? He’s not running stage 2. That’s where the real gains are.
I'm curious why you ended up removing the black boost intakes?
I'm UN tuned, so there was no point power wise
Thanks. I’ll just keep my Weistec filters and UPD spacers and put the money towards something else. They didn’t really impress me and the install + code is too janky for me.
Money is better well spend on a TCU tune IMO... Unless you can pick them up cheap used.
So judging by the comments, you don’t recommend this? Just getting a TCU tune would be sufficient? Or an ECU plus TCU?
I really don't see any benefit unless you're really pushing the max horsepower on an m157. It made little difference on mine, it made little difference on my friends stage 2 e63
In order of your best bang for your buck,
Oil solenoid mod
Always on heat pump mod
Drop in filters
TCU tune,
ECU tune
Downpipes
Black boost intake
What color is that? I can’t find any for sale with that color
996u Cardinal red. In Europe it's called hyacinth.
It's 1 of 22 for 2016 in the USA, 1of1 with the designo sand interior.
(And it may be for sale if you're interested)
@@ExoticCarDIY u lucky it looks so cool
Kenny, will you a DIY trans fluid video?
I plan on doing a sparkplug vid showing the indexing technique as well as a transmission fluid change. Im glad these are helping owners, to be honest. Im a little discouraged since these videos take a long time to make and the literally make pennies. I could just work overtime shift at my real job and i would be more compensated then in 3 years of YT
@@ExoticCarDIY Ya I hear ya. I've dabbled a bit in posting to YT myself. The hardest part and most time consuming is the editing IMO. If I could give any advice it would be to maybe use more catchy titles and try to post regularly. The algorithm seems to favor those who do that. Your content is as good and interesting as a lot of other more popular DIY mechanic guys that I watch. But they do those two aforementioned things.
Is it worth doing a stock dme tune? On a e63s
To be honest, I'm going against the grain here and not recommending a tune. Sure it may add a little bit of power, but these cars already have tons. At some point longevity and resale outweigh a little extra horsepower.
@@ExoticCarDIY true true so might aswell keep it stock, tune wise, what about a mid muffler delete? Do you know bu any chance if that void warranty doing a mid muffler delete
@@alejandrosantacruz3977 a muffler delete should not affect warranties IMO, I have a video I made a while back about modding the mufflers for more sound, but leaving a 100% stock appearance
E50 tune with tcu should get you into the 10s
Isn't this kit like $2500 new? I just don't see more than $200-300 worth of stuff to it. No way I would pay more than maybe $400 for a new kit. Then there is the garbage looking fitment to it that you showed in this video & now I'm down to $300 new. 🤣
I think it's 1400+tax+shipping.
I love mods, don't mind paying, but I would want the quality/craftsmanship of product I'm buying to match price.
@@ExoticCarDIY Exactly 👍 I just don't see it in this product.
Not the quality expected for the price tag has always been my review on these. Not a fan.
The fitment is total crap. Lets be honest.
