Hey Jimmy, did you ever get your Powerchip tune?

 

They have not opened shop here in Japan yet, Powerchip said end of this year sometime. I will call them again next month.

 

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
best bang for the buck out there

 

The AMG C32 Engine or PowerChip?

 

I think the SC would be a huge jump for ya and definitely renew your interest in the car!! My only worry though is tuning? No expert here but our clk's seem to be the worst at accepting change in the ecu dept... Hope it works for ya cause dropping in a 55k motor would have to be the same process!

 

Just looking at the sc motor I don't think it will fit Jimmy. there is too much stuff on the drivers side to accept that intake. with that said though, you could probably modify the intake to make it a single and use the one VIP made for you. That may be a minor issue and the ECU compatability be the major issue. I would think there would be mucho compatability issues but it may not be a big deal for a really creative mechanic. Do you have a wrench in Japan that can take on such a massive project? would hate to ship the ***** to Japan and then it wouldn't fit but the right guy could make it happen. I would try to contact the factory for professional advice. Damn, that first one is a really good buy but no ecu. You might have to spend 2 grand on an oem computer for that specific motor. How fat is your wallet? If you are lllloooooaaaaddddeeed like Ron White, go for it.

 

the motor should be a plug and play as your body harness will plug right into the 32k motor's ECU. you might even be able to reflash your 320 ECU to run with this just gott aget the fuel ratio a little richer. as for the tranny your tranny can also work with this but i would recomend a more beefedup tranny, your diff works perfectly fine and as you may knoe the gear ration in the 320 diffs is far better than the 430s and 55s thats why some of those guys use the 320 diffs. pretty much the only two items you may have to change on the engine is the motor mounts and the oil pan which you can take it off of your existing engine and mount it to the 32k engine. Hope this helped overall it is not a complicated swap at all. i think you should go for it.

 

Japanese Tuning Shop told me the exact same thing you just did...
I posted this just to verify. Thanks

 

lol, thanks brother, yes ive been doing a ton of research and i'm already on my second engine so next will wither be the 63 or the 55K or 500 with 55k kompressor. currently i'm sourcing the parts and since mine is a 99 i have to change the body harness too because i want the tip tronics which im in the process of retro fitting a C63 steering wheel with the paddle shifters to work with my tranny but i do need the newer body harness and floor ****er.

 

Jimmy, whats your Hp will be like ???
that is nice papa Jimmy

it will be very fast.. nice
are u going for it?

 

That is a mod on my list, I will pay off the rest of my bills first then start off the next year with a Custom Bang!!!
It looks like that engine I can use my custom headers on

 

Wait... so we can use a non clk ecu? That would sure make things a ton easier for swaps. If he uses the stock ecu how will it controll the SC clutch?

 

Wouldn't it be cheaper just buy n a bolt on supercharger?

 

Yes, the 32k ECU works with the 320 body harness. You can use your 320 ECU and have it reflashed to increase the fuel delivery due to the injector difference and the increase in fuel consumption by the 32k motor compare to an N/A 320, but it just wouldnt be worthed, it is easier to just buy the 32k ECU. the ecu tells the injectors what air/fuel ratio to use along with many other things such as the MAF readings and so on. the reflashing of the ECU takes care of the clutch issue that you brought up, also on the ECU there are many connector banks that are empty and just sitting there and thats because the same internals and housing was used for the 320 and the 32k they were just coded differentky so they are both capable of running eachothers coding, just like the V8s the 430,55,500 and the 550 can use eachothers ECU as long as they are reflashed. but at the end of the day it is easier to just buy the ecu that goes with the engine you are putting in. I hope this helped.

 

not necessarly, because with a bolt on super charger for the 320 motor after the kit, instalation and the tunning(dyno time) you are looking at around the same price, BUT and this is a very very big BUT, at the end of the day the 32k motor gives you 349 HP and is 100% reliable for long trips and daily driving and parts are a phone call away from your dealer and your bolt on at the most it will bring up your 320 to about 250 or so horses give or take 15hp. so no the 32k is by far a better option in any aspect that you look at. this was my 1st option but then i jumped to the 63 motor transplant which just simply cost too much and its daim near impossible, so i have setteled down for 550 v8 with E55K blower, which should easily put me in around 475 or so give or take 15hp without any tunning just engine running normal. but its a long road and once everything is done i will let everyone know the process.

 

Jimmy let me know if you want to get one of these two engines, I checked their location and they are in hollywood which is about a 30 minutes drive from me. I can swing by and check the engine out and make sure everything is good with it and try to get you a southern CA discount. lol. let me know brother i'll take care of it for you.

 

Custom 2 year Road Map starting 2011

Thanks for the info vipclk320.yeah I guess if u have to spend the same amount of money and time its easier to just drop in a motor that would give u the same if not more hp.
Williams707 I say go for it!

 

Go for it Jimmy. I want a ride next time you are in Lincoln. Just ordered a Sprint Booster.

 

Big Baller,

You should go V8 or better yet V12biTurbo.... make the hassle worth it!

 

Why V8?

I don't see what the obsession is with V8 engines. This Supercharged V6 is just as fast or faster than the V8. This engine has does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and properly tuned it is reported to have done 0-60 in 4.5 seconds according to a Car and Driver review Jun 27th 2001.

 

The V8 has a nice rumble, but this 32k ill put most V8s to shame. (430s,500s). it is about 5 or six HPs away from the w209 55s and about 18 HPs less than the W208 55(yes the w208 55 is more powerful than the W209 55) so with very very minor tunning this engine will burn both of those engines as well. Then awhat you have left is the 550s which are 388HPs and the 55k and 63 and so on. so for a V6 this 32k is a beast and no hassle for changing, but socal i know what you mean that rumbble of the V8 is priceless i cant waite to do my conversion and you know your doing the engine transplant for me brotther just sourcing the parts right now.
