And even if it did... Why does the E55 come with a supercharger and the M5 doesnt? It's just a choice made by car makers. Dont question AMG.

Maybe the OP meant that some M3s have aftermarket superchargers put on them and he hasnt seen it done on a C63 yet?

Uh, yeah guys, I mean an aftermarket kit.
M3 has like 5+ either almost done, or already done and being sold.

Where the hell is the 6.3 engine S/C or turbo kit??

Nice one.

Kleemann and Brabus both have 6.3TT just not direct bolt on design.

Probably demand...many more M3's out there than C63's. Also, MB owners in general are older people who don't mod their cars as much as BMW owners.

'03 clk 500. WTB slk55
when some1 does decide to produce one for the c63, it will turn the car into more of a beast. with a lower compression ratio of 11.3 compared to the m3's 12.0. and i believe the 6.2's block is much stronger than the m3's and the 55k.

The Kleeman car from what I hear never ran. It was a marketing stunt. Could be done if someone chose to buy it. Ever seen a test of the TT ML63? Might be a reason.

The brabus version does work but its as much as a car so it does not count.

I have spoken to several tuners and the ECU used in the 6.3 is so strict and complicated that it would be next to impossible to make a car with positive manifold pressure while still using anything based on the OEM ECU.

That and the fact that you can get 600 hp out of the car with some bolt ons means a blower is just not that helpful. It will just lead to check engine lights and cracked pistons IMHO.

Is there even room in the engine bay for a SC or turbo? You are better of getting and ECU tune, intake and header work done.
