In this thrilling episode of DailyDrivenExotics, we witness a tale of automotive resurrection like no other. The team embarks on a mission to revive a beleaguered AMG GT engine, left in a sorry state due to severe overheating. Premier Tuning Group emerges as the knight in shining armor, offering hope of transforming the engine into a roaring beast boasting 1,000 horsepower. As the engine is loaded up and transported to PTG, the anticipation and excitement are palpable.
Our intrepid host shares his deep-rooted love for high-horsepower machines, particularly the AMG GT with its V8 twin-turbo powerplant. BetterHelp's message on mental health strikes a chord, emphasizing the importance of seeking support during life's challenges. Upon arrival at PTG, a haven for AMG enthusiasts, the team delves into the intricate details of engine rebuilding and tuning. The experts at PTG shed light on the nuances between M177 and M178 blocks, showcasing a beautifully sleeved 177 block ready for resurrection.
CP Pistons and CP Carrillo rods take center stage, custom-crafted to perfection for these high-performance engines. PTG's dedication to rigorous testing and precision in engine assembly sets the stage for a potential horsepower extravaganza. With past successes pushing AMGs to 1,500-1,600 horsepower, the team's confidence in surpassing the host's 1,000 horsepower target is sky-high. The looming specter of a $25,000 engine replacement looms large, making salvaging the current engine a top priority. PTG's commitment to meticulous checks and quality assurance ensures a thrilling and cost-effective journey towards automotive revival.
