Engine Modifications (not Bolt ons)
Anyone here played with an e500 motor?
Just been looking around to see if anyone has done anything like bolt on a super charger/turbo charger etc and what issues they ran into etc.
I am not looking for a 1000hp project but rather something that would add say 60% more power
From the net i gather the motors are 10.7 compression or thereabouts ? So not thnking of anything too wild cause i dont want to open the motor. At the same time have to make it look classy/stock and thinking the main obstacles will be rear diff (getting an lsd) and a suitable ecu to control things ?

hehe thanks for the response bud I think the part that will make it costly is the ecu really. I think the hardware can be done for 7-8K USD.
Then i will have to worry about the tranny taking the extra load ... well the torque really and also have to add a rear lsd and finally make it work (ecu).
I basically want to be inside the limits of the tranny so i dont have to change it. But feel i might be spending a stupid amount on the ecu

You can do a Kleemann K2 kit which includes complete supercharger kit, remapped ecu, headers and it'll do 360-380whp. I'm also thinking about going this route. Approximate cost including parts and labour is approximately 8k'ish? I would check with Cory @ Kleemann for pricing.
There's a member on here with a white CLS500 that did the upgrade and despite a few hiccups he was very happy...
