Mohammed Bin Sulayem C32 AMG Supercharged & Twin Turbocharged!!!

BTW ... He is driving it more than his CLK GTR...

Its amazing i'v seen it in real his Black C32

http://www.gulfautomart.com/workshoptwinturbo.shtml

Ben Sulayem performance and Mohammed Ben Sulayem as you would have guessed by now are hard-core fans of forced induction. Turbocharging and Supercharging is almost a religion for all of us at Ben Sulayem Performance, so it will not come as any surprise to read that we have decided to throw ourselves at the high performance altar and take on our latest project, the AMG C32.

The C32 is a fantastic car in every respect, its compact size means that it is very manoeuvrable in traffic and features superbly balanced handling, steering and excellent brakes. Added to this base package is the AMG enhanced 3.2ltr supercharged V6 engine and modified 5-speed automatic transmission. In True form, Mohammed specified the car with some extra AMG options such as ported and polished cylinder head, free flowing exhaust system minus the original catalytic converters and special programming for the engine control computer. The supercharger combined with the other modifications results in a power output of 430Hp.

Initial impressions of the car are very good, the C32’s light weight and powerful engine means that it accelerates of the line extremely quickly, with the supercharger giving full boost pressure from almost 1000 RPM courtesy of the Eaton style supercharger that AMG fits to the car (similar in design to those used by Jaguar and Toyota)

Its not all good news as although the Eaton style supercharger delivers excellent low to mid range performance, it starts to lose efficiency at higher RPM’s, and this can be felt from the drivers seat, as the car noticeably slows once the tachometer needle exceeds 4500Rpm.

Only Turbocharging can deliver the type of High RPM performance that the customer was looking for – but Turbocharging has the disadvantage of relatively poor low RPM and response, as the engine has to literally rev fast enough to generate the required exhaust flow to drive the turbo chargers – so it was at this point that it was suggested to the customer to twin turbocharge the C32 while still keeping the supercharger in place!


Click the image to open in full size.

In theory this would give the best features of both forms of forced induction, in that the supercharger would boost the car from low RPM, while the turbochargers could take over at higher RPM boosting the overall power and efficiency of the engine. This could be taken a step further by sequencing the turbo system so that once the turbochargers were making enough boost, the factory supercharger is switched off further increasing horsepower that is lost driving the supercharger.

As we all know, something that sounds good in theory quite often does not work out in real life – so it was with a deep breath that we stuck our neck out and said yes, It can be done!

Currently we are well into the job and up to our necks in Mercedes parts – stay tuned for the finished product!

Thanks..

Tariq

Tariq do you actually work for BSM? I am curious because this project hasn't been updated for a while.

If you do work for them please let me know I want to pick your brain about turbo or S/Cing a car of mine. I am moving to Dubain in August and am currently looking at my car choices.

Here is an old thread about that particular car. I think the link to the actual article is dead but you can get the basic idea.

Those are E63 look-alikes. He might have access to C63 wheels?

I like the wheels.
but he bolt holes are bigger the Bolts in the E-class are thicker then the C-Class that is why it is not recommended to put E-class wheels on a C-class because the bolts are too thin on the c-class and will make the wheel shuffle.

if they are replicas, and a good fit i would love to get my hand on those wheels too. they do look so nice on the car.

The guy has a full shop at his disposal, he can accomplish anything that he wants. bspturbo.com it [the website] isn't anything to shake a stick at but he has quite a vast collection of autos.

Is it just me hallucinating or that C32 has a CLK55 exhaust?

The wheels are amazing but if they are replicas they are probably too heavy.

I seriously doubt this guy would put replica's on his car. They are probably off a CLK63 or what will be the new C63. I'm sure he has connections..

This is the same guy who shoe-horned the SLR V8 into an R171 SLK. You might have seen some videos of such car spanking an Enzo.
