I've read that a bunch of different tuners along the way have tried piecing together a supercharger kit for the 63.

Anyone know what the major challenges that they ran into as to why they weren't successful? I'd imagine it was the electronics, fuel delivery, or transmission rather than the marketing answer of "there's not enough demand".

Just thought I'd see if anyone had any closer insight as to why it wasn't done. The block itself is built like a tank with a great crank, rods, and pistons and can easily take light boost, so that surely isn't it.

Do a search. You will find my CLS63 with a supercharger test fit on it. They never finished it. I wont say what vendor it was cuz that's a whole other story..

There's so many challenges to adding a SC to a motor not designed for it. And then there's the problem of a transmission that won't handle the torque.

That's one of the reasons I decided to go the 55 route instead of the 63.

I think the tranny can do the job. I', pushing just over 673rwtq with no problems. other than not sticking to the road..

I think the biggest hurdle would be that the compression is already 11.3 : 1 while the compression in the 55 is 9 : 1. Don't know how many pounds of boost you could push through her.

I think the slk55 is also hi compression and running on low boost as well . But to spend the money to give it a couple of pounds of boost i cannot see it .

673?! That's awesome, how did you do that? Kindof leaves the door open when I need a new car.

JustPete

Wow ... Stock tranny? That's huge. You're a brave man.

Yes Stock trans. Nitrous.. So far no problems with trans.. But for how long? We will soon find out. Car is in a shop for a retune ( custome Renntech) And new designed headers. All new header format, These Headers are sure to pave the way we all look at long tube headers. I call them
" ///AMG MAX POWER " The science behind this new design is advanced past or time.. Stay tuned for more info..

cls55

will you please ask the shop if they`re going to make these headers for the ml63 ?
thanks

rarfinancial

I sure will. I will get updates on project with lots of tech info..

Yea SLK55 is 11.0:1 c/r and they run an advertised 7PSI on pump gas with the Kleemann sc added. My c/r is 10.5:1 and I just upped the boost to almost 10PSI *fingers crossed* A 63 with a blower would be insane, maybe a thicker headgasket to drop compression a bit

hey man, im down in SD too, i have an E63 w211. you think the headers aren't that much different than mine? im down to get together and see what they can come up wiht on our 63's

Should have some pix and update by Monday.
