Magnuson has released the latest supercharger technology for the Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 (W204 6.2L M156), “Project Hammer”.
Building on the hugely successful discharge-up design principle and utilising the very efficient Eaton TVS2300 rotor group, Hammer proves that OE drivability for daily commuting and brutal power for weekend racing can be obtained with elegance.

Key features:

• Adds ~120rwHP in standard kit form on unmodified car
  
  • Calibration included for standard kit on unmodified car – custom tunes readily available from select Magnuson Dealers.
    
  • Calibration can be done online via OBDII and Android device – ECU remains in vehicle.
    
  • Various enhancement products will be available through Dealers.
• Includes Magnuson’s 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
  
• CARB certification is being sought – will be available for the standard kit & will include 2008-2015 model years.
  
• MSRP of US$9,995 including calibration (refer to Distributors for international pricing)
  
  • Limited launch special of $500 discount on the first 20 kits pre-ordered through select Dealers.
• Installs can usually be completed within one day.
  
• Also available as an “Engine Kit” and a “Tuner kit”. POA.
  
• Available in the USA, Australia & UE for Christmas through select Dealers while stocks last.

Technical features:

• Eaton TVS2300 rotor group.
  
• Kit produces 7-8 psi. in standard form on a showroom vehicle.
  
• Installs without any wiring being cut – all connections are plug-in.
  
• O-rings on all sealing interfaces (leak-free install).
  
• Large CFD-optimised intake with high velocity flow path.
  
• Unrestricted rotor discharge port (maximises flow, minimises loss).
  
• Large plenum (equalises flow to all ports).
  
• Long port “runners” for improved fuelling (minimises cross-fire).
  
• Ř55mm bypass plate (bypassed air is also cooled).
  
• Charge Air Coolers utilising F1 technology ensure lowest IAT’s
  
  • Extruded multi-rib tube for CAC coolant path (maximises heat extraction).
    
  • Louvered CAC fins (reduces pressure drop without sacrificing cooling efficiency).
    
  • Large-bore coolant reticulation.
    
  • OEM-standard quick-connect fittings for coolant.
• Billet fuel rails.
  
• Maintains all OE sensors.
  
• Injection molded Lower Air-boxes.
  
• Mandrel molded Coolant hoses.
  
• Injection molded intake Couplings.
  
• Torx fasteners for OE ease of use.
  
• Utilises OE throttle bodies.
  
• Upgrade options available (pulleys, injectors, plug-in injector wiring adaptors, etc.).

Magnuson has produced more supercharger kits for the aftermarket than any other manufacturer, is TS/ISO quality certified supplying global OEM's, and is looking forward to serving the AMG community with the best superchargers & support. We work closely with many suppliers of ancillary upgrade products to ensure total performance solutions.

Any pics of the setup off the car?
Can you send me a list of dealers who this can be purchased through.

Does this add 120whp to a base C63 or also to a P31 C63? Meaning will it go from 481 to 601hp? or will this only be for the base c63 giving a P31 car only 90hp?

Merc63

You got that all messed up.

They are saying 120rwhp to a stock car. Stock car dynod 378rwhp. So you would be at 498rwhp with this kit on a stock car.

The real gains come from headers and their blower, which puts you at 586rwhp.

Looks like a decent kit, price is good, power is between weistecs stage 2 and 3. Newer mct cars will probably hold the power, older 7g trannys will likely fail after a few months.

ENV˛

Now that is amazing. I cannot believe the difference between this blower with and without headers is so large. Makes for a really nice bump in power but not for the faint of wallet..

SALES@OETUNING

Once the kit has been released, you can purchase directly through OE Tuning or Magnuson.

Here is a picture from 2015 SEMA show of the Magnuson 507 Edition C63 AMG

Merc63

10k plus 3-4K or less for used headers for 700hp is not a bad bargain at all.

If you seen a set of headers beside the stock manifolds you would see why. The manifolds won't flow jack ****

mr747

SO what sort of upgrades do you offer with this supercharger?
How much power and boost can they handle?
have you tested this with 12psi 13 psi 14 psi pulleys??
have you tested this at the track? qtr mile times??

betrezra

I'm sure the blower is ready for mods... as mag has been around on other platforms for a while.

The amg specific tuning, is a good question.

Southways

- We have injector & pulley kit upgrades - plug-n-play. A custom tune is required & it will not be CARB legal.
- The power/boost limitation is the engine, not the supercharger.
- Yes, we have tested & will continue to develop more pulley options. We will release more details in future.
- We have done circuit track testing for durability verification. We have not run quarter-miles... we all know that impressive 1/4m's is as much about the car setup/tyres/day as the power/torque delivery. 1/4m testing does not add as much engineering/development/verification value as some of the other resources we use.

xxaarraa

Kinda true, but 1/4 is not entirely due to tires and da on the particular day. On a car like the C63, which is more of a dragster than say an M3, quarter mile times would be important to publish. I think its safe to say that the type of guys spending 13-14k on a supercharger for their already-fast C63 are probably regulars at drag strips and would want to know

HYPERTUNE

I like the way this kit is configured with the supercharger in the valley. Seems to allow for decent sized intercoolers and very good runner geometry. Runner geometry definitely looks like a compromise on the Weistec setup but obviously works fine as they are getting excellent results.

Merc63

Where do you see intake runners on this kit? Is there a cross section?

How does the Weistec kit work for intake runner? Does the air go over the heat exchanger down then back up into the port? Can't tell from looking at their manifold.

BLKROKT

How does this supercharger allow for larger intercoolers exactly

HYPERTUNE

It looks very similar to their LS kits that have runners up each side of the plenum. I'm guessing it would work well on the M156 as the ports are vertical.

It appears that the Weistec kit has a very tight radius where the runner enters the port. This isn't ideal, but Weistec know what they are doing and would have traded it off for benefits in other areas I expect. (like being able to run the 3L whipple for example??)

HYPERTUNE

I wasn't comparing to Weistec, just noting that the design allows for 2 reasonably large intercoolers inside the plenum (assuming it's the same as the LS versions from Magnuson).

GRP

Good luck with this Ken.

Is that an Aussie dyno chart?

soacyeuopar

How much power and boost can they handle?

Garrett Porter

Soooo need this on my E63...excited to hear some reviews.

Southways

Thanks.
Yes, that chart is from a Mainline dyno in Melbourne Au that has a very good history of power numbers matching 1/4m times. It is not generous... as MR747 can confirm. Hammer has been verified on at least 4 different chassis dynos, plus an engine dyno.


The supercharger is capable of supporting in excess of 1000hp. There are many HeartBeats on GM platforms with >1000 at the wheels & Hammer shares a lot of the design principles.




E63, ML63, etc. are on the development schedule.

betrezra

Good to see another option for boost. Thx for sharing.

Properstyle

Change is comming keep it up guys.

computertom

Can we see a graph with some torque?

OlegKouz

Awesome ! Can you please PM me a list of U.S dealers?

iShootYou

Do you have a dyno graph that shows the hp and tq
