Funny stuff...you guys crack me up ( LMAO )
My wife is looking at me right now with a very confused look...

Are those your old SL turbos? The stock ones?? somehow they look a lil bigger than the 600's

number of pistons do not indicate stopping efficiency per se. Other factors such as caliper design, caliper bridge strength, rotor efficiency, piston size and clamping force are all factors that play a major role in brake system function. The number of pistons help mostly to increase pad surface area contacted to rotor and uniformity of the distributed clamping force. So for example an Alcon B-series caliper could possibly brake as well as a Stoptech ST-40 caliper or a similar Brembo 6, 8, or Rotora 12 piston caliper depending on the setup of the system, weight of the car, and related factors.

but yes they do look cool as heck!!!

Great answer.

Those are Stock Borg-wagner K24 mounted on 600's & 65's (65's have slightly bigger kompressor and turbine wheels)

I know that part...., somehow the outer casting looks a little bigger on this one than stock. Thx

DCMETRO22Z

They look stock to me... Bigger would mean brabus, and I don't think Soulsearcher had it.

That New manifold design will act like a header on an Atmo Engine. With the bigger turbo, I think You should have monstrous HP gain if everything is tuned properly.The Stock exhaust/turbo setup on MB V12TT engines is **** poor, like the cooling and intake. And although that, some people could achieve huge HP.

You car should produce 1000RWHP... I'm pretty sure.

I might just be at the Texas Mile if he can get his car finished. March 26th-28th, correct?

Only 103 miles for me.. a nice cruise in my stock SL600.

I'm glad someone finally took on a project like this. Ever since I frist saw the v12 biturbo manifold/turbo I knew the key to unleashing the power would be bigger turbos on a custom manifold. Are you going to try and tune through factory ECU? What size turbos are you going to go with? Good luck! Yea the V12 biturbo injectors are pretty small. You can try running 55k injectors, should drop in and provide roughly double the flow. If you wanna go baller you can get SLR injectors

Great seeing the pics of the manifolds and turbos. I'd like to see the AMG 6.0 parts side by side! Anyone know if the manifolds look different than these 5.5L parts?

Anyway....I'll be at the Mile in my FGT...come by and say hi!

600 and 65 turbos have the same exterior look.The only differences are in the turbos internals.

DoctorV8

What about the manifolds?

DCMETRO22Z

As I explained many times, In the MB V12TT engines, the turbo setup is very particular.

The exhaust gas manifold and the Turbine wheel housing are casted as one single piece.

So, the Manifold/housing block is the same on the 600 & 65.

That's why you can't simply swap turbos on those engines. You have to cast a band new exhaust manifiold to make your aftermarket turbo fit.

I am assuming that if u are coming, your plans are to spectate only since race registration has been closed for some time. Come by & say hi. We'll be with a bright red 27ft enclosed trailer. I think Marko is also a registered racer.

SLR/55k injector flow specs are not published...you may or may not be correct but based on some formulas, u are probably correct.... Yes we are using the oem ecu, there is no need to install a stand-alone or even a piggy-back race fuel management system, additionally, for obvious reasons you really can not go that route on these cars.

Sounds good. Its easier for you to find us since we'll be the only R230 and as you know, they'll be at least 13 FGTs. Is yours the white 05?

DoctorV8

Mine is the Quicksilver no stripe with black wheels.

blackbenzz

You don't have to take my advice but I've had both the 55k and SLR injectors flow tested (I posted the numbers somewhere). I'm aware that the SLR specs are not published and I actually have a set on my car. Cool, who is going to be doing the tuning?

You're damn right... 12 cylinders, 12 pistons ...

Wow!

By the way, the color is red but in the pic it looks orange.
