CLK W208
I ABSOLUTLY love this. Much deserved respect. I'm glad that my 320 to 55 transplant sparked new ideas. I have a question for you. Have you figured out the wire for the supercharger clutch? Because that has always been the hold up on the 32k transplant because there is no body harness that could be swapped into the CLK because those motors came with SLK and C only which neither one is compatible with the CLK body harness. It would be very interesting to know how you got around that. Also from my understanding all the other modules are plug and play. Are you using the 32k ECU, ESP and the rest of the modules or a remapped 320 ECU with all existing computers and modules?

I got al the wiring diagram's from the slk 32 amg and the clk so wiring up the superchargerclutch is not that big problem.
