What a 6.2 liter V-8 looks like 5 weeks from completion.
Allright, i already posted this in the Performance forum, however, since my car will be based on the W208 I'm posting it here. This is a picture of my bored and sleeved engine block which means the engine should be complete in a month or so. I know it is not much, but for me its a significant milestone in the production of my car so I was pretty psyched to find the picture in my inbox this morning (thanks Mr. Vanos):

The 6.2L Kleemann conversion is just part of the project Sleestack is undergoing. If you are serious about an estimate for the engine, cage, coilovers, or any other portion/combination of upgrades for the car, please email me at ben@evosport.com.
Thanks,

well ben, I am acutally considering a project much like Sleestack's CLK for my SLK... but that's not for a few months... the how much I was referring to (i should have clarified) was boost...
Vadim said that the block is much stronger now... so how much boost can it handle / how much boost will Sleestack's car be running?

Lucas: In California we have what is known as 91 octane gas. In real life it is more like 89. Plus there are always dishonest gas station owners. Getting a tank of 87 and paying for 91 is not uncommon. To avoid any problems with detonation is the reason I am lowering the CR.
Kenne Bell has extensively tested screw type kompressors. A 2.2L unit is capable of 600-620 at the wheels. Brandon mentioned to me that original unit we have is also 2.2L. So I am basing my R&D of those numbers.
If it is only 2.0L than we probably going to be down to 550-570HP at the wheels.
Care to share any experineces?

Thanks for all the pictures, this is very intersting to me. Please post as many picture as you can along the way of building up the engine. Pictures of the supercharger installation would also be great.

I was, however, thinking about a 3.8L Blown V-6...
But god, imagine an SLK putting 600-620 HP to the wheels!!!!!!

Vadim.
I am just affraid that you run into problems with your project, you may have felt that with my comments over the last few month.
The compressor you have on that car now is a MX 420 ( 2,0 L), shortly a KLEEMANN MX 422 ( 2,2 L) will be avalible, this S/C is used in the new 55 kit and can be build in to the old system.
I can't remember the formula by head how to calculate the boost
of the S/C, I will try and remember it from the office tomorrow
then we can try and calculate how fast you have to spin the S/C.
Brandon just build a BRABUS G 5,8, that car runs trouble free with
a 0,4 - 0,5 bar in boost and my guess will be CR at 10,5 - 11 : 1.
You want to double that boost to a 4-500 ccm more displacement.

Lucas: I see your point. I have talked with Jim Belle at Kenne Bell and he confirmed that even at 2L there should be enough air flow to make 550-600HP.
Is there anything available form Kleemann above 2.2L? Kenne Belle offers up to 3L.
