^^ next step:

Fully built motor with bigger supercharger. It never ends, you know that right?

 

Well modifications planned,

Quafie LSD and Kleemann Camshafts (next) +15hp top end, +20-25hp midrange and low range

Ported Heads (Not sure) , 3,800ish euros need to send heads to Denmark +35hp

Leather rollbars last thing and maybe KW V3's with a Wiechers Strut bar not really sure as I've got lower springs by brabus and they are good but I want a sportier ride.

 

Getting V8 Kompressor bages stuck on the sides as well, like this

Hopefully the Supercharger and ecu arrive tomorrow, on the other hand went tyre shopping today what are your thoughts on Toyo T1R's in 19" for 835 dollars filled with Nitrogen and installed for this price, decent, good deal ?

I checked out Michelin PS2 but they were around 1,500 which is too much?

 

I got the supercharger, the last meal I had was from yesterday lunch and just coffee and water. I went there at 8 and I left at 12 where I had bucket loads of sweat and running around different offices finishing paper work, tax fines and stuff; from one task to another took around 40-45 minutes due to the lines of people finishing up their things. I am so tired. I left there took the supercharger box 42 kilos out of the XKR's back seats tight fit which is another problem me and a friend took it out takes another 2-3 minutes and gave it to Mercedes Kuwait for installation.

Basically they have the car parked there for 10 days and the ecu arrived with the new flash,radiator, E55 Airbox, y-pipe clamps, fuel pipes and all the bells and whistles.

The boot will have the round Mercedes logo removed for the Kleemann logo with the red thing in the middle. The sides of the car will have the V8-Kompressor logo a la SL55 style with a smaller Kleemann comfort power under neath it. I am now just waiting for Wheels Boutique to get the HRE M40's and I hope the wheels arrive to my doorstep rather than going to the airport cargo and running around to finish which is a dreadful task.

You see how the E55 airbox is setup it has AMG lettering on both sides, mine will have Kleemann logo and in the middle the supercharger lays and the front of the airbox ( like below ) but with the AMG builder next to the Kleemann one



My German friend was just laughing there looking at the supercharger, its a monster its a monster and that was the funny part of my day. My car was parked between a SLR and a CLS55. I asked him to take pictures of the install and supercharger etc. I was in a hurry had to take my friend back home.

Day1, Airbox and intake manifolds removed and the (work) starts today.

What amazes me is that the heat exchanger is quiet big and the car comes with the Johnson C090 pump which is huge compared to the E55 oem water pump.

The Supercharger,






The Big Johnson water pump

 

 

A new idea popped in my mind, when all is well and testing in the heat..I'll see if I can get one of those very very large H/E heat exchangers from the E55/SL/CL/S/CLS E55K aftermarket parts and see if its clears the bumper.

 

Looking good Moe, how much boost can you safely run on the stock motor?

 

Mine will be 6.5PSI around 0.4-0.45 bar of boost,

Other AMG's.

E55,SL55,CLS55, CL and S55 are around 11.6 PSI due to lower compression

SLR 13 PSI , basically has ram air intake, dry sump, twin intercooler, high lift camshafts

Advantage is I've got 7 gears as apposed to the others including the SLR which have 5 gears and a dreadful long 4th gear which is where the M5, M6 and others catch up when you see AMG's vs the M's
