Excuse my ignorance...

but whats the difference going to be between this car and the other C55K's out there? Earlier in the thread someone mentioned the S55 engine, is this the engine that is going in, what are the HP and TQ numbers?

There is no such thing as a C55k Unless its a kleemann product.

C55s stock are NA.

This car has the supercharged E55/S55/CLS55/SL55 engine - lots more power

Sorted out a few more wiring issues with the a/c compressor. All wiring is complete now. All Programming with ECU is done. I need to program a few more items in the Transmission Controller. I will take a short video tomorrow. I have ordered the CATS with downpipes and awaiting for them to come in. Not sure what I will do with the exhaust. The old spare tub was already removed to make room for a dual exhaust. Still need to get:

Curve Xenon Headlamps
Front Grill
Fog Lamps
Hood Liner
Airbox

Yea, I understand that C55's are all NA (I do have one ), but is this car going to make considerably more power than a C55 with a kleemann blower?

Yes, it will make more power than Kleeman 55s since NA 55 motors are high compression by comparison, and run lower boost. FI 55 motors have lower compression and can handle the higher boost levels.

Great job Sunil.

not really. with the way people are tuning the E55s. The M113k usually runs around 560-580hp. some all out tuned one should see 600+, but that's if you go with really good parts and tune.

Dragon's Kleemann C55 was running around in the same power range.

you will probably be putting in equal amount of cash going either way anyway if you have a C55+Kleemann vs C55 doing engine swap to M113K.

it's just on Sunil's car it went from a M112+Kleemann to a M113k.
