SL65BS filters fitted on my CL65

I took the challenge in fitting the SL65BS filters on my CL65 it took so much work to move the ABS and the Hydraulic reservoir tank, plus we had to modify the filter by cutting it by one inch. This project took around 3 weeks from start to completion. As for power my car ran 613 hp on the wheel, dyno used dyno-max 2000 pro maximum torque 722 ft-lb tempreture was 107F and 1000 feet over sea level. dont know if it would have made a huge difference but still working on the car project not over yet.

What's up Mo!! Super glad you made this happen. Will you be trying this on the Bullit? I can only Imagine what a Brabus kit will do with a pair of VRP coolers...

LOL...nope he is in United Arab Emirates, Dubai...scorching hot. That car in cooler weather and with a rear mounted reservoir could "possibly" hit 680+ RWHP...

Heat plays a big factor in the V12's/

So where did you relocate the ABC/Hydraulic tank too? Also did you use the Black Series air tubing to route to oem holes towards grill?

I made a mistake ... I thought It was on the bullit...

Nevermiind,

65 AMG T65

Or

6.3S Brabus

Both those engines with a VRP 825 on top of it would be a rear axle destroyer.

we relocated the ABS and the Hydraulic reservoir tank on the right side of the the engine bay (passenger side) in the battery location (for the SL its the AC's external airflow i think), and we re-wired the battery in the trunk of the car. we did not use the BS tubing for the oem holes we fitted a flexible aluminium pipe and we are going to fabricate a CF pipe for it as soon as we get some time.

Jody my next dyno will be posted on YouTube and it will hopefully going to hit some serious numbers and soon the Bullit will get a set of filters oh yeah my coolers are being fabricated and tested by Brabus with some serious racing nets as soon as they are on you will be the first to see them lol

Please keep me posted Mo! Please do the remote trunk reservoir...I guarantee you at least 25~30 RWHP with your set up...
