Pretty sure Brabus has a M113 stuffed into a regular w203 (non clk front end). If the xf guys have got the m113k into their cars, im sure we can fit an m113 into a regular w203 also.
Karo, Get pix / vids of the W203 w/ the E55 motor - Hopefully, its a 2003+ e55 you're talking about also.

+1 to that, im definitely gonna look into getting that done to mine, it would be a sweet project.
btw, would the 6 spd tranny in the 06 230 work with that engine or is a new tranny required too?

"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
For starters I believe the c230 6 spd is actually smaller than the one found in the c350 which only has ~70 more hp... that said, even the 6spd in the c350 couldn't stand up to that kind of power (ie why they didn't come from the factory with one)
and beyond that... not sure how they could "tune out" the automatic :p

I made a mistake and I apologize to Sunil.
The video of the E55 engine in the w203 was done by Sunil @ Motorwerks of Houston. If you guys have questions you can hit up Sunil.

E55k in a w203 will be sooo sick. Definetly more power than a turbo C350.
Mike told me his C32 is crazy fast and I heard from Rollnnn that Franks C32 requires passengers to always wear a diaper. So can you imagine an E55K engine in a w203??

sunil does some great work.....
or so ive heard ....
His w203 is sick. One of the only cars with more power then my C32 when I had it.
But, drivability was crap. Sideways in a heartbeat. And the xfire guys are tearing up trans/diffs/rear ends....btw.

The C55 isn't going to be laying down as much power as a 55K in our cars. I'm definitely never going to grow a pair big enough to do something like this, but my hat is off to those who do!

Ya, I went through 4 drive shafts with my C350
I think you know when you have crazy power when you snap a drive shaft
Amazing stuff Rudy, glad to know an Enthusiast like yourself is on this forum
