Do you think we will be Abile to superchger when they come out

amanuuh

its a turbo engine...

CarHopper

Yeah man, a turbo supercharged 8L 9 cylinder BEAST

I think the more common modification will be swapping out the OEM turbos for bigger, aftermarket turbos. But, with the turbos mounted inside the "V", it might be a little harder to do.

Should not be hard if you can put twins turbos on a shelby with a superchger we should be able to a superchger on theses. It would be cool to have a 900 hp c63

I'm confident this new M177 has already been built with a huge power reserves in its current configuration to easily meet the OEM demand of future models and performance updates along the way, it'll only be a matter of time before aftermarket tunes will also open it up, adding a supercharger to the combination should only prove to be a very complicated and expensive exercise, if one wants to go that far, IMO better off waiting for an appropriate turbo and ecu upgrade kit/s

CarHopper

Turbo's are the answer for high HP applications and this car comes with them.

Lol wtf

Some of the threads that have been coming out lately ...... It's getting worse and worse

amanuuh

Lol first it wouldn't be cost effective. Second no one will want to come out with that kit. Lastly there is barely any room in the new engine bay.

This is way more complicated or an engine than a Ford engine.

CarHopper

Just my quick thinking.. (didn't look at any full diagrams of new motor, just have seen how it looks completed)

If someone wanted a higher HP application but not the lag they could attempt to make a run at sequential turbos. But as I write this, that can't be a thing anyway because each turbo has it's own dedicated 4 cylinders so that wouldn't work.

Looking forward to seeing if anyone comes out with a large turbo setup. I bet Weistec (or someone similar) comes out with upgraded turbo bits (like billet wheels) but I just don't see the turbos getting any larger unless there is a way to stagger them.

I was hoping and looking forward to see the new GT3 specs and how they increase output from the same engine the GT and the C63 share, but instead of using the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 from the AMG GT as predicted, the AMG GT3 does things the ‘old-fashioned way,’ equipping the 6.3-liter, naturally aspirated V8 from the SLS AMG GT3 which made me think how much they can really output from the new engine

amanuuh

i think by the end of the year well be in the 600hp range already

Will617

+1

I am sure that some of these after market Co. already have some stuff in the pipeline. I would say that 600 hp between hardware and software is modest.
Chris Harris talks about the potential of the new engine in his review.

Properstyle

I'm sorry but thats got to be the worse question or thread made yet. The e63 is pumping numbers as high as 800torque on tune and down pipes and you want to supercharge the new two turbo motor? Did yu think this through at all...

amanuuh

Lol we all know this question is dumb. He didn't think it through properly. He should have done his research.

abcut973

I do agree

Yep The NA V8 has years of reliability and results in GT racing. Introducing a new engine requires $$$, testings and development to comply with regulations.

JPMBenz

I won't be the first guy to mod my car; engine wise. I let some others do that first. LOL

InfinityWind

who said it cant be dome

jamesyot

The music makes it that much more epic
