Just thougth I'd share with you guys (never seen one before myself) and I don't know the owner. Wonder how much $$ it would cost to repair or maintain that thing??!!!

(I'm still in the market for an AMG, just can't make up my mind between the W210 or W202...)

 

Wow that is actually really cool. Too bad I don't have $12k sittin around cause that's a really rare car.

 

Wow. If that's legit its a pretty sweet car and a really sweet price!

Just imagine that car with one of those $7500 Kleemann kompressors slapped on it. Probably sacrilege but that would be one hell of a beast.

 

Where do you expect to find a Kleeman SC @ $7,500.00 ? You MIGHT find one used,then at that price you would have to do the install yourself and provide the software.

 

i think my car has a 6.1 engine from brabus, and a kleemann supercharger. i bought it like this. owner claimed 600 rwhp.. im only gettin half of that lol... still trying to figure out whats wrong, maybe an ecu reflash was done, as the car was parked for around 4 yrs, and both batteries where changed.

btw my car is an r230.

a frnd of mine has an r230 with this 5.8 setup, and it is an upgrade to the amg 5.5 engine.
so the supercharger is still there
i have pics but i have to ask him if i can post them here..

khaz3al

 

Post pics of YOUR car , please!

 

wow

 

Kleeman did a special on their kits during the holidays in that price range. I'm tempted by this though, that is for sure.

 

wow thats a steal at that price

original tranny ?

what car is that engine from?

 

it is legit, read the description

 

$7,500.00........INSTALLED ?

 

i would expect issues with trying to upgrade that car further- buy it and drive it. if u want to go faster buy a cheap c43 and build your own bigger motor.

 

looks a little neglected
i'd love to see pix of that engine w/out the plastic cover on it

 

no just all parts, install is not as hard as you might think

 

Does anything need to be done to the ECU (chip,re-programming etc.?)

 

Kleemann ECU runs about 1k, it's additional to the Supercharger kit

 

Thanx !

 

ECU reflash wouldn't be affected by dead battery/changing of the battery.

 

I just saw this today, just before I saw this thread. I like the sound of this one.

 

my car pics are in the picture album thingy, and tnx for the info on the unit reflash! helped alot!

 

great find...

 

buying this car for the engine and brakes would be a good option for me

then the task of finding someone to swap the engine at a fair price

 

i put in an offer to the guy-

 

BRABUS IS KING!!

 

Kool find indeed! very rare, but 137k on the odometer is a bit high, anyone seriously interested better have independant mechanic do a leak down test(compression check on all cylinders) besides that appears to be an excellent bargain...
