2011 CL63 M157 Build

Good day all. I know the CL community seems to be quite rare and also a tad quiet. Thought id share some things going on with my 2011 CL 63.

the engine is finally apart. I am currently waiting on CP Carillo piston and rods and other oem parts. I already got my Darton sleeves in for the block. Pure Turbos are here waiting to be installed.weistec trans kit waiting to be installed after engine is done being fully rebuilt and running. Also have a badass steering wheel with those builtin LED lights, yet to install..




Hoping to build one of the baddest CLs around. Aiming for 850whp+ but happy with any result to be honest.

Before dropping it off shop, it had VRP intake spacers, dry air filters, cat and rez delete, stage 2 tune, and black car wrapped in satin pearl white with a carbon trunk lip.

Heres a few pics soo far. Will try to keep the progress and after build all in this thread. Cheers

I have an 2009 with 149K, I would love to rebuild my engine at 200k... I am hoping 10K will get it done.

Hey all,

Unfortunately this project has been taking a very long time due to shop having lack of employees these days, and machine shop delays, parts had to be modified to fit, etc etc. Engine is almost put back together as of a recent update. Looks like the car will be actually put back together before February (realistically speaking).....fingers crossed............

Well, finally got the beast back. Just been taking it easy on the car as i dont have an updated tune yet. So next will be installation of my weistec meth and bov kit with updated dyno tune at Eurocharged Canada hopefully soon this year. If all runs well, eventually upgraded fuel pumps, wheels, and starry night interior are on the list.

Have been noticing some leaks on and off, in garage floor. Looks like watered down oil but definitely does not smell like engine oil. Maybe trans oil? Oderless? Anyways.........

Arp head studs from PTG, CP carillo internals from PTG, darton sleeves, pure turbos, weistec built trans, last tune for stock turbos (Eurocharged stage 2 tune), wrapped in satin pearl white.
