I Was Told By My Local Benz Dealer, There Is No Kompressor In The Cls 63 Amg. I Wonder What Type Of Mods Will Be Offer For Cls 63beside An Upgraded Pulley Kit.

For Cls 55, Renntech Offer A Upgrade Pulley Kit, Ecu And Carbon Fiber Air Box For $9k. will Give You Up To 529 Hp.

NO! NO supercharger in the 63? God what has AMG done?

Nice

A pulley for the 63 would not do anything given that there is no kompressor. There are ecu flashes for the 63's and most claim gains of 30hp/40ftlbs.Renntech Stage 5 for the 55 motors also adds ss headers and larger throtle body- 574hp- $16K.

AMG_55

you can do full exhaust, intake, chip, thats just bolt ons.....

TREZ63

Intake for the 63? Who makes it and how much? i always thought that's exactly what his car needs. I am guessing it'll add around 10 RWHP if they have a good one.

AMG_Mike

naws! hahaha

AMG_55

i dunno, however i do have an idea of how one can be made, im waiting for my cousin to let me **** with his car.... he said after i make the airbox for his 80's 6 series he'll let me

here are a few pics, its not done yet (obviously) but its getting there, the tape is to protect the finish on the inside and hold the top (split) piece on before welding.....

I'm working on getting cold air intake into the E55 engine bay. the only spot I can find without major work is through the floor pan. That will work, except on really dirty roads (which I rarely go on).

AMG_55: I need to hook up with you at your bro's shop. we may can get some serious craziness on there!!

AMG_55

lets do it.... we can and then get really creative

I've heard that kleemann is working on some serious upgrade program for the turbo.

where have you been

TREZ63

yeah that's what I want to know. The kompressor is old news man. the 63 engine is actually built by AMG vs. the 55 engine which is an MB engine supersharged by AMG.

allied107

The new 63 engine is much better then the Kompressor. I was suprised to find out that there wasn't much of a 0-60 time diffrence.

x-tian-230k

Some people will beg to differ with your comments...

TREZ63

And they can keep begging. lol. j/k
You're correct though, you want to be careful what you say about 55 vs. 63, there's a lot of money riding on that question.

One thing I love about my 63 which the 55 just couldn't match was that deep grunt sound at idle. The 55 had more of a whine about it. When I fire the 63 up every morning it roars like it's been sitting there all night just waiting for my thumb to press the GO button.

Not exactly....

The 5.5 was still an AMG creation they just shared the development costs and expertise with Mercedes. It was not the AMG just slapped a Kompressor on a Mercedes Design.

They built them the same way that the 6.3 is now assembled in Affalterbach.

Blue_Monster

people like yourself who have the OLD model

LMAO J/K.... but seriously.

AMG_55

i prefer the 6.2 b/c i enjoy driving in the corners and b/c its much more linear its much easier to really push the car.

however....

the brutal push of the 55k

The 55 is the ONLY model year EVER in the life of CLS production that'll have the blown engine. So it'll always be special. Will that make it a collector's item? Hard to say but it is what it is and there will ALWAYS be someone looking for it down the line just due to its uniqueness and scarcity.

The 63 is going to be in 07, 08, etc... model years until it gets a bump in displacement and power, or 2 turbo's slapped on it, then where will it be? the scrawniest kid in the family and who would want that?? Of course that's conjecture, but one thing is certain and that it is not a 1 year special.

Performance wise I'd say the 63 will be faster because of the gearing, and less torque. The 55 has crazy torque for the chassis and gears so that works against it, and in the curves the linear power of the 63 will proves out better as well. But to me, the 55 is (again) unique, it's like the earliest of the muscle cars, huge engine in a falcon chassis, huge engine in a tempest chassis, a teenager on steriods will too much muscles. The 63 goes the ways of overall refined performance, and there are a plethora of choices in the market for that genre.

Interior aesthetics and quality, nothing beats an Audi.

AMG_Power

the 55 engine a collector item!!! oh plzzz
its not just the cls that got the 55, add the e55, cl55, clk55, c55, sl55, g55,etc etc.. how is that unique!!

BMWEATR

not sure if this is true but a mb sales guy told me the cls is a 3 yr run only? after 08 no more cls.

coolcamden

Which one of those is in a CLS body? Which one of those has 1 year in its production line.

Did I really say the 55 ENGINE is unique like how you chosed to read it? oh plzzz go back and learn to read.

TREZ63

I'd say that with the volume of cars in production there is about a snowballs chance in hell that any of these cars will ever be a "collector" item. I could see how maybe the IWC version would be somewhat of a collectors item but get real man, this isn't a collector car. It's an ordinary sedan/coupe hybrid that will spand most sports cars. That's about it. Plain and simple.

coolcamden

Same thing can be said for the 1969 Z28's, 1970 Chevelles, all the hemi challengers and cudas, the shelby cars and many others, heh? or you guys too young to know?
