V12 S65 AMG Makes Huge Numbers From New Tune! (Dyno Tested) 

Hey Mike, long time viewer from Saudi, love your content. The thing with S65 vehicles is that the TCU limits the engine output to protect the transmission. If you tune both ECU and TCU you will see gains of over 100 rwhp and 100 rwtq EASILY!! Best of luck man beautiful car EDIT: Eurocharged for example does ECU and TCU tunes for AMG vehicles, not sure who else does it from the tuning companies but Eurocharged for sure.

Loving the S65.. Can’t wait for that straight pipe.

ay man i just started watching but i cant stop, youre amazing man. and a great father. i wish i had a role model like you!! keep pumping out these videos

Glad you waited to do the exhaust. The way your modding this car is a great way to enjoy it and not get bored.

Im guessing 520 to the wheels. Maybe little less. Still big numbers stock. Sound sick man i cant wait to hear it with the new exhaust set up. You always bring something LOUD!

Its going to sound amazing when the exhaust gets done

I got no words !! Wonderful car congrats on the tune.

Autovlog Awesome Video I think it's awesome that your AMG S65 made such great power after the Velos tune and I can't wait to see how much it'll make being Straight piped

That’s a sweet ride Mike. Can’t wait for the exhaust! 👍💪🔥

Hi Mike, about drivetrain losses, its not a percentage. So if you gained 30whp it doesn’t mean you gained 60 crankhp. Drivetrain losses is a fixed number, gaining more power to the wheels doesn’t mean you lose more power in the drivetrain. You made 533whp so it means you have around 90hp loss in the drivetrain for the specific gear what means now with 554whp you making around 645crankhp. I have a tuning company in the EU and here we measure crankhp by putting the car in neutral when coasting down so that the dyno can measure the losses in the drivetrain so no guestimate, its pretty accurate. The tuning can be done much better on your car, a stage 1 should atleast add 50hp. Anyway beautiful car and great vids, keep it up!

Before you fast forward in the video 😂 I was about to lol I’m kidding love the content!

Man it really opened her up!! I can't wait to get my ride and rip it up like this!! 🤙🤙🤙

Would’ve been cool to see a before and after 60-130! Beautiful car!👌🏽🔥🔥

Glad you're back in the AMG!

2:05 I would have already mentioned this method but I just KNEW you had already tried this out 😂😂

As the ECU adapts to the tune's new parameters, it will become even more responsive and pull even harder

You need a dp and intercooler for sure, need to do a crazy build with this car. You can do it!

Driving home after I got my car tuned the more I drove and the car "learned" the quicker it felt. First car I overtook the car shot forward quicker than I thought it could. Best thing I ever did to a car,

Have been watching you a while and just realized you are also in Pittsburgh! Great car scene here. Would love to run in to this beast one of these days. Love your enthusiasm!

Congrats on the new found power Mike !👍🏻👊🏻

Congrats on your S65! I got my CLS 63 AMG tuned by Renntech, and now it's in beast mode.🤣

Autovlog back on Top Form! Way to go Mikey 👍🙂👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇸🇪

Thats without intakes, downpipes and exhaust, can’t wait to watch this build come together.

Så glad att du har en AMG igen :) Dina videos på denna bilen har varit dunder

I suggest you get ROW air box. I'm not sure if it's like the W204 with charcoal filters, but that might help pickup some more HP. Love the S65 coupe!

Mike, I up your way on a vacation in waynesberg ,pa staying at my wife aunt's house. And it's my wife's birthday today. She still younger than me..... Replay back if you get to see this . The tune works!

Love what you do for testing this Merc.

Nice work. That is good from just a tune!

I just wanted to say “those wheels look so good” ! I’m pleased you’ve moved away from black / grey The silver/ alloy are just awesome

Nice video keep up the good work Auto Vlog

That's a beautiful Mercedes, love the coupe.

I think you should do some down pipes they normally give you a good jump in power on turbo cars.

Great video thats an awesome car 🔥

Best car you’ve ever had Forsure love it dude!!

From one wheel peels to two wheel squeals, awesome sauce 👍🇺🇲😎

What you're seeing outside is the smoke from the fires in Canada... Great dyno runs!

TPG Tuning is good peoples love those guys

Love the wheels - Great purchase. I misted that episode.

Do not underestimate that amg v12. That motor is capable of 900hp+ if you know the brabus s900 rocket edition, you will understand what I’m referring to 😎 that car has so much potential @autovlog

Can wait for the exhaust sir!

Great video Mike!😸

TPG Tuning is on Pontiac Ct in Export, PA. It was named Pontiac Ct because of Fisher Pontiac who was at that location for many years. My dad bought a 64 Pontiac that I totaled in 65 from them. Brings back great memories.

Wow man.....!!!! Pulls like hell man. Welk done. Please do a dounut video, coz i see it now spins in both wheels. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

TPG Tuning and Distinct Automotive (both out in Export, PA on the same street) are both awesome. Distinct did the ceramic coating on my Raptor and it turned out great and was very reasonable!!

I bet this video gets a ton of views. This is sick

I’ve been there before. Well next door. There is a tint shop right there. Had a car done there a few years ago and watched an E36 get run on the dyno. Pretty cool

Those are great numbers considering it’s a mustang Dyno! Awesome. Turbo upgrade time

Hay Mike! Awesome video like always. Can't wait for the straight pipes 🤗 One stupid question, at the end of the video.... there's a some kind of SUV between de AMG and the RS7? 🤔

Madd luvv from Kenya🇰🇪...I'm one of ur OG fans,

It probably wasn't fog, it was smoke from the fires in Canada 😂😂

When you get the exhaust you should get another run to see where the car is at after it adapts and then put the exhaust on. Nice car man!

That was smart to build the dyno room away from the shop

Nice! Mustang dynos are notorious for being a little stingy on power numbers but gains are gains!

Man this really is all the car you need, i sure wish to own one some day

Just Great to see you BIG SMILE every time you drive it. 🎊🔥🔥👍💙😂😂

Velos uses a very conservative tune. You can definitely gain more just from tuning.

love your car and videos. However, I would have to agree with subscribers on a prior video that the paint look off on right rear fender. I would take it to a paint shop and have them look at it. LOVE the car!

Really enjoying your mods on your S65 ! We’re you thinking of a stage 2 tune later that includes bigger turbos .

Awosome! Next the dragstrip! Lets see what it runs after exhaust!

Hey nice video again. I'm curious about something. Is that a Hyundai Tucson on the driveway?

This is my favorite car you have had on the channel. Just my 2 cents

First ever 900hp S65 sounds so good for that car

Dammit bro, now I want a v12 s65! When you add the exhaust it will be insane and your neighbors will be even more angry lol

Please please please take this to the vintage Grand Prix in Oakland!!! I gotta see this car

New upgraded filters, royal purple oil or amsoil, and 94 octane fuel will give you another 15-20HP at mid-to-high rpm above the ECU tune and TCU to unlock more power thats limited from factory. I believe Renntech has transmission upgrades (722). S65 is beautiful, perfect summer daily, winters would be better with an S63 (4matic), or one of your trucks 😂

MB V12 cars love 100 octane unleaded and will produce significantly more hp/tq with that fuel in the tank. Totally safe and will not harm the cats or 02 sensors. It would be cool for you to try it and dyno again. I have owned an '03 S600 and '06 S65 AMG.

Awesome car awesome video!! 🏁 It looks like was a mustang dyno mustang Dyno's are know to reads lower #'s.. either way 700+ lbs of wheel TQ is STRONG!!💪 A good friend of mine has a CLS 550 with a rentech tune and I totally understand what you say about Mercedes power delivery it's something different!!💯😁

The New Wheels Are Sick!

You need a CPC tune to unlock full potential. Also a upgraded inter cooler pump.

Great vid 😀 I guess reductions in transmission losses are where manufactures have been picking up fuel savings over the last few years. Over 80% of the power and torque getting to the wheels on an rwd automatic is pretty high compared to years ago. That improves performance and throttle response too, and, I guess, even handling in a well set up car. Fun times, thanks for sharing!

im addicted to the channel, its a crime i haven’t subscribed yet

You could hit up Eventuri to see if they will do some custom 1 off new carbon filters too to add some extra induction noise once the the exhaust arrives maybe?🤔👌

My 2015 cls63s made 620awhp/780awtq from a base of 487/530. Race IQ for the win!

My favorite out of all the cars, even the 812.

Black it out including the chrome, change the rear exaust tips and splitter, add side skirts and front splitter, lower just a bit

Original tittle should be: “S65 picks up 20whp with tune”

I love Mercedes V12 and at the same time I can’t believe my dream car is a V8 SUV these days.😂 The best sounding exhaust system, super high tech, most practical and the most safe, the new Cadillac Escalated V has arrived and soon will be mine🤤🤑👑

My 2014 E63 wagon did 551Hp & 700T after stage 1 tune on a mustang dyno. Got 11.6 in the 1/4. Think I could a little better. Of course it is awd. Get a 1/4 mile run when your done with the mods. I’m in Ca and can’t mess with the exhaust.

You should get someone to actually tune the car live instead of an off the shelf tune that doesn’t take into consideration any mechanical differences with your car.

i would love to see big intakes and turbo noises ur not gonna have much but it would make it alot more exciting and fun

You remind me of James Hetfield... also great video! thanks for sharing.

Sick!!

Goosebumps ❤

Hey Mike, once you installed the FI exhaust on your S65, will you be adding a crackle tune?

‘Before you fast forward the video”😂😂😂

Omar at Velos designworks is the man one of the most straight up guys in the business.

That's got to be one of the most beautiful coupes ever made. Wheels are a little too gaudy and big though.

It’s crazy that’s the same motor in the Pagani 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾

My guess is the cats plus tranny is restricting additional power gains. You’d need to decat and go stage 2 on the ECU plus a TCU tune to get big gains.

I believe that the mustang dynos are down on numbers also. Might want to look into that. That fog/smoke fay was crazy here in the Burg

You have to review a couple of those cars. Especially that ZL1

Has the car had body repairs ? It looks like two different shades of silver on the drivers side.

Cold outside or backup camera just excited?

Damn that car is mean looking

I remember back in the day when 300 hp was pretty insane. I think in the 90's only a handful of cars exceeded 400 (maybe some Lambos and Porsche 993 Turbo). Now 700 feels like nothing. Well of course the cars are much heavier now and full of technology. But still... where does this end? LOL. That being said that S Coupe is one of the best looking cars made in the 2000's. I love AMG GT and Jaguar F-Type too. Mercedes really have some good designers now after the dark ages of early 2000's. Cheers.

man that has to be the sexiest burnout on youtube

I think there also is a difference on the dyno’s if I’m not mistaken a mustang dyno comes with a result lower than on a regular dyno or a dyno from a different company, I’m not 100 % sure but I heard something about that once

Tjena, Tjena Mike. Hur laget?

really nice car! How does it compare to the Audi S7?

Too bad we don't have something like the Autobahn in this country. That would be a blast in that car.
