Well I just got my car back from the shop after 3 weeks of work....

For people following this car and for people who aren’t click thread below

https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...s-install.html

So for now I am running headers, (what a difference just with headers and unturned....Lots of low-end)
I have not put all my performance stuff on yet, but plan to very soon.
Good news all the paint/body work is pretty much done, I plan to do a couple adjustments on fogs and Intercooler, (By the way if you have the new Code 3 Sparco Heat Exchanger and you want to run the Reiger Front bumper... It takes some work, It barley fits also it sits up higher than the heat exchangers (look at pics) )
I also had my back bumper repainted as it has some scratches on it from someone bumping into me. I also had my guy cut out the second muffler cutout (So i can do quad exhaust) with replacing it with the c55 (I will let you know im going to deal with the spare tire little bit later) for now enjoy
..

My goal... 450RWHP about 550hp at the crank without spray I have some other things comming up not listed on mod list. This is something i will try and have fun, Rather i make it or not... Just 500 ill be good

As again this is just my GOAL so i can be pushing myself toward it, If i don't make it... i Don't make it... its not a commitment toward you or Mbworld... Just to myself

PS: Every Time i drive into this Ricer/tuneing Gas Station they think its turbo haha

Your in good hands.

This weekend ill be installing the Carbon Fiber Interior Trim, (Not the Stick on kind) (not my picture but exactly what i have)


Also, I bought the Hellas fog lights, the issue is those can't use the factor harness, Does anyone know where to get one for those lights?

I want the header

Your body kit is hot, specially the front bumper.

out of curiosity, how much did the front bumper cost you? and the carbon fiber trim?

i have the same rims... love the look man!

Front Bumper was like 600.00 or so about 1100 total with paint, Fogs were 200.00, and the Carbon Fiber interior was about 400.00 bought it from a w203 member

You need rear diffuser, pm me =)

Hotness!!

this just makes me miss my car. My car as of 2/19/09 is a beat up mini van!

Whats this about the new 185 kit? I haven't installed mine yet as the shop started the install but couldn't get the crank pulley on and didn't have a torch to heat it with. Tell me about this wobble though, do those of us with the new kit need to return it?

OP your car looks fantastic!!

no... Just mine had it, Probley damage during shipping.... since there 26 parts or something inside the crank. LET Included the 19,000 rpm bearing which looks awsome but make sure you install it before you put the idler on.

OverDrive - your car is coming along very nice. Keep it up!

Can you post what else is on your wish list? I have been through a bunch of mods (goods and bads) and maybe I can save you a few headaches.

my thats ambitious.....There are only a select few that are barely over 400RWHP. 450 on this engine is highly unlikely.....

But...Good luck!

looks good, u need to be dumped

Good stuff man, I'm seeing double!!! I've got the same bumper and heat exchanger...they look soo good together!!!

Really looks great! Can you PM me like BenzoAMGPower did about the front bumper and fogs. What intake are you running?

whose hit 400whp?

I made my own intake system instead of using code 3 stuff, with the 240 intake manfolds redone and a couple other things should be around 380-385rwhp then cams.. some other projects i won't release yet to help myself get there (Some internal work) idk ... thats my goal.. rather i reach it or not, ill have fun reguardless Just reaching 500 at the crank ill be happy. Its all about fun and exploring fokes...

Where am I now: well tonight i spent a couple hours riping out some of the interior and installing the carbon fiber dash, along with door panels and such... Still not done.. Tommrow I plan to install the Ignition coils, and Sparkplugs, Maybe the Valve gaskets (may do a DIY on that if there not one) Mine are starting to swell a little bit. May also do the Intake gaskets along witht phonic spacers...

And yes i need Suspension work... The fact is... I like how the c32 rides, Its not to stiff nor soft... That is also why i went with 18 inch wheels plus the tires i have on now.. Feels the same as it did stock. I may just do springs but wont lower it that much .... The new bumper makes the car look lower in the front anyway just need to get rid of some of the wheel gap... and thats pretty much it for the outside

+1

I like to know as well... I don't recall any C32's over 400 rwhp w/o spray - and IIRC only two with ~400 rwtq.

Agree that 450 rwhp w/o nitrous is indeed a lofty goal - hope the OP can hit it! Good luck OverDrive - just remember that with determination and suitably deep pockets, anything's achievable

good luck. i dont beleive a factory c32 supercharger flows enough cfm to support 500fwhp, and i would also say the engine as a whole doesnt flow well enough (in factory form). e55 would probably be cheaper. just a thought.

+1....been down this road....

I guess ill have to share my ideas to get there since yall are shooting them down....... Custom CP Ligher/Stonger pistons, titanium connecting rods (engineered), Bump up the compression slightly, possibly a different crank... may have to stroke it. Couple other things.. Its possible guys.... Money is not a big deal guys... Yes it will cost a crap load of money to start but if you plan everything make sure you buy what you need and buy from depenble source.....shouldn't be to bad
Again... If you looks this is my personal GOAL..... commitment toward you or Mbworld... Just to myself
also i never set a time frame...

Sounds doable and not all that unrealistic. Anything is possible with deep enough pockets. Good luck with your goal and keep us posted!

were not shooting them down my friend, just trying to help as a good part of us have done just about everything possible to these engines, and have a pretty good knowledge of what the car is possible of.
