Well guys,

Sorry I did not yet post pictures and videos, I have been too busy driving my Benz. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures yet nor video, but I should be able to post some in one week.

The V58 engine is absolutely incredible, you really feel the 630Nm and the 440hp, its really amazing stuff. Honestly, I recommend this company they do insane stuff... It might cost some money but the result is just sick.

I am going back to Vath to install a complete new set of suspension and the rims below in 19. I can't wait

Back to driving the V58

Congrats, well deserved and enjoy it in good health for many years to come.

Now supercharge it and you'll have a monster.

Yup you are correct that will be the next step. I can get 565hp (Torque-> 569lb-ft or 770Nm). & it should be very reliable

I finally have 2 pictures but no videos so fare

I will take pix of the new suspensions system & better pix of my Benz. This was after driving 600miles on the way back to Switzerland so its extremely dirty.

Wow. A built 5.8L M113, with a blower, would be jaw-dropping in a C55. Even your 5.8L N/A is mighty impressive. Keep us posted if you go for more...

pleaseeeeee post vids!

Still no videos but a few more pictures

On this picture you can tell about 'the special' manifold. I will take better pictures so you can see the mods better

Post pictures of your engine.. The outside still looks like a c55, we want to see the engine..

Yea, I hear you.

Here are some pictures if the engine

Where is the engine bay? I just see very close shots for the spark plugs wires!

LOL..!! Ive been waiting for those for a while.. Spark plug wires and headers..

i wanna see actual pics of the engine too! if i were to ever get a new engine, personally i'd get the m172 when it comes out. it would cost the same amount of money to buy my dream sl55 though.lol

Well guys,

I am sorry to disappoint but the reason I did not post a picture of the engine its because you can not see the difference, it looks stock

The parts that were change are all inside the engine
Long stroke crankshaft
Sports pistons and camshafts
Polished cylinder heads
High performance air filter
Special range manifold system (Thats the only part you can see )
Fine-tuning of the ECU

My only mistake was not to ask Vath to take pictures of the engine while they built it

Better late than never, here is the first video. Many more to come since I can now upload videos lol

I hope you enjoy it although it's short.

The video is marked as Private. No access.

Good point

Modified sorry about that

Nice sound on the video. However, what I'm more interested in is to read about your driving impressions.

This is a naturally aspirated rebuilt M113 engine. How does it compare to stock? Any thoughts to share with us? Any data about acceleration times?

Looking forward to hear from you.

+1, I'd love to hear and see how she drives??

Compared to stock, does it pull a LOT harder or is it more "progressive" in acceleration (almost stealthy?). My C32 feels a TON different than the Kleemann, that's why we are asking. Any qtr or 1/8 mile drag times???

Sounds great! We need more vids and driving impressions.

THe sound is pure automobile SEXXY

Lovely.

No problem, I will do so next week I am too busy lol





Basically it pulls much harder all the time, it might be ‘only 70 hp’ but it makes all the difference. The huge amount of torque 690Nm does contribute to a much more brutal acceleration at any speed. It was an expensive project but well worth it. The next project in a few months is to buy another C55 and install the E55k engine tuned

Unfortunately I do not have any exact data for the quarter mile . However, in theory the 0 to 62mph is suppose to take around 4.7s now but more impressive is the noise the car makes while driving it, the face of people is just bloody priceless.

Here are some more videos. I hope you enjoy them
