Does anyone try to retrofit the sc of the E55 on the c32 motor? performance output? boost? i think the e55 one is larger in lenght as it sitted on the v8. the air runners of the e55 can be cutted and c32 one can be welded.

wait...are those paddle shifts in that signature pic of yours?! in a c32? how do i do it on a c55?!

This is an 07 and up steering wheel, i don't know if they fit the C55, buy them from parts.com and try to fit them on yours. i know someone who has fit them on 03 one:

wait is that a c32 or e55? and i noticed you were lebanese...i am too.

It is a C32 2002, also the paddle shifter are working great, i connect them here, are you living in USA?

MIKESV8

yes i am here in the usa. there is this steering wheel for $110 on ebay that is the dtm steering wheel and it's the only one i would buy. i'll try to find the link for it.

A little more than $110

jturkel

let's try to stay on topic and talk about the supercharger. i'm interested.

MIKESV8

yea sorry about that i meant to say $1100. anyways...the supercharger. would the blower off of the e55 be the easiest way of putting a sc on my car? what's the best, most reliable way to go?

jturkel

Hooleyboy put a 55k AMG blower on his C55. it was a bit more costly than going with a Kleemann s/c after all was said and done, but certainly possible.

Hey Kuzni check the post I wrote on the how to add the paddles to the 55 wheel I did years ago. It involves a dremel and drill.

MIKESV8

yea i also have a friend from florida with a kleemanized c55 that has an output of 650hp. that's why i was thinking kleemann. there's no sort of oem thing i can do without having to drill and destroy my steering wheel mr.spr? anyways...see if you can copy and paste the thread here or pm me it please.

I'm curious about the E55 S/C on a C32. Never heard of anybody trying it before.... I'm guessing you could cut off two of the runners and weld them closed? It must be longer though so I wonder about fitment issues.

if you use the e55 intercooler as well...i think it would be a easy way of upgrading the intercooler as well. I think the problem is, i haven't seen any cheap e55 superchargers. There all pretty expensive what I seen.

MIKESV8

that is correct, the supercharger itself is expensive, but that's the easy part. just wait for the time on labor to come by, that'll get you. hooleyboy's c55 (RIP) was doing if i remember correctly 11 second quarter miles with the e55 blower. he had a bunch of other stuff though i'm sure.

That sounds like a year's supply of migraine headaches in the making.

TemjinX2

i think putting a e55 sc would be onto a c32 would be easier then what hooleyboy did on his c55. Long as the sc can fit dimensionally. I think the problem would be if the e55 sc is longer then the c32 one. Then the sc clutch would extend past the pulleys.

jturkel

regarding the intercooler, Hooleyboy i think is working on some intercooler prototypes, for sure for the M113k, specifically for his SL55.

if there is interest for an intercooler for the C32, let me or him know (or post it on here) and maybe we can get something in the works super fast (i'm leaving AZ on July 17th and won't be here for the next 10 days)

TemjinX2

i wonder if we can just use the e55 one.

Biscuit

I certainly wouldn't volunteer to be the test dummy I can tell you that. But I'm all for somebody else pioneering the process.

saer1one

Im in, gonna replace the old bosch pump for a Johnson CM30 soon.. was looking to upgrade the intercooler but havent made up my mind.. would definitely buy from hooley instead..

King320

For the cost you could probably upgrade to an E55

ML500K

+1 and save all the headaches and electronic gremlins lurking around....
but a C and an E are totally different cars though...

650hp from Kleemann blower?? I do not think that is correct! The most that you could get from S8 Kleemann blower is about 590bhp and that with old twin screw blower . The new design blower (Root Type)will get nowhere near that .
