Hello guys!!


I've project in ma mind, but i'm still thinking about it.

What do you think about a T70 twin turbo kit on a C55 AMG!


My c55 is done @13.6 sec in 1/4 Mile
Got around 360 HP@Crank and 400+ torque.
With just tune & Down pipes

So everyone give me his opinion about this project before i begin with it
I think with twin turbo kit it will reach almost +600 hp with a tune and some more mods,




Waiting . . .



Regards,

 

It's going to be cramped in there, very expensive and prob have to upgrade some things. I personally think it would be badass, but I would also spend that kind of money on a different platform.

 

have you seen the eurcharged e55 motor that makes 850hp? They want 30k but you might check out what they are doing and try to do a DIY. I am not trying to dissuade you from your plan. I would love to see you do this but there are people making big HP with superchargers too.

 

I would just buy an E55K to start with for $20K..... and a few mods and run 11's.

You could potentially end up spending $20k for something that is either never finished or is completely undriveable. Very few of these sorts of projects ever make it to the end and usually the end is not quite what you thought it would be. I would just buy a faster car, e55 and some mods as pointed out or one of the new e550 4matic twin turbo. At least the chassis will be able to put all that power down a bit better.

 

Transmission can't handle the power

 

13.6 is a low 1/4 mile time for a C55. What was the MPH? Fuel level? Spare tire in or out? Backseat full of groceries? lol


I spent a lot of time on this subject last year and over the winter and personally decided it wasn't worth it. In the end I decided it would be better to just enjoy the car with off-the-shelf parts that are available and make 400hp than spend a year being a pioneer and never getting to drive the car. You can get easily get into the mid-low 12s if you max it out with normally available parts. Even lower if you start upgrading the trans and rear end gears.

I think the most important question is what do you want from the car?

Daily driver?
Dedicated drag car?
Garage princess with a ridiculous set up and a sick dyno sheet?
Long term project/show car that will see minimal use?

If you decide to do the project hang out in the W211 / E55 section for the best info. Those are the drag racing power makers in the forum and a couple have a TT set up but TT on MB is rare. Very rare. You may even check out Chysler Crossfire forums as those guys do some unique stuff. I was looking at TT at end of headers or TT in the rear in place of the mufflers. Hard to find but there are youtube videos and threads on TT on older but still M113 Mercedes. Early 2000s SL and CLK comes to mind. Most were unsuccessful but they didn't appear well planned or well put together. Those were also from years ago and much more trial and error has been learned with the E55s in addition to more piggy back ECUs such as one AEM offers. Again, the W211 section is the place to be. The 55K is the same engine just lower compression. Things like fuel pumps and regulator need to be upgraded anyways.

Like I noted earlier I wanted all of that power once, too, and then after I learned which settings to use and when (TC on/off, S/M modes) to get the most performance out of it I realized the C55 doesn't need much. It's one of the most fun, good looking and under the radar cars you can buy.

 

why don't you just gut it, stuff an ls in it, make your own wiring harness and turbo that. It would probably be easier.

 

Who's gonna tune it? That's what you should be worrying about

Elevation?

 

That would be cool and easier in the end.
