Hi to everyone here, im new here and just got me a cl 65.
Was looking to upgrade the hp on the car , was looking for your suggestions.

thanks

 

Renntech in Florida has an ECU/TCU Upgrade (W215 CL65 AMG - PArt #54 215 00 51)


Package includes the ECU program as well as the upgraded transmission computer in exchange.


Installation will result in a total of 650 BHP and 840 Lbs.-ft. torque

(Stock figures are 604/738)


MSRP is $6,800

 

Thank you for the quick input .
But I think dollar per hp gain is alittle high for that kit.
I was looking to see if I could get atleast 750hp out of the car safely.
If I could get that then i would spend the money for it, but to spend 6g for 45 hp doesnt seem worth it to me, the torque # look good.

Thank you for your help.

 

At the very least you could attain the same figures as the Maybach. It is the same engine isnt it ?

 

I thought the 600's had the same engine as the Maybach?

Either way, welcome to the world of Mercedes where everything costs an arm and a leg.

 

The 65 is a bigger engine than the Maybach by half a liter. As of now the 65's are able to pull a little more HP and a lot more torque with ECU upgrades, however, that is about it. The 65's are about as tuned as your going to get after than short of doing some major work. The turbos are already putting out outrageous PSI, higher than the 600's and Maybach due to larger turbos and intercoolers.

Quite honestly, the power that the 65's make stock isn't even able to get to the ground effectively due to the transmission/differential and tire inadequacies.

 

hm... talking about Maybach, check out our Amistad Maybach 62 with Amistad Type R wheels

Sorry the pictures were taken by my staffs on HIN LA, kind of dark, but will receive exotic ones from our magazine photographers soon

 

Dude you are so full of it, why would you want to upgrade CL65? LIke 600 hp is not enough, it's not a supra you know... So many fake posers around theese days...

 

I can assure you that there are people out there who think SL65 isnt fast enough.

 

You mean you thought it was fast?

Hahahahahahahaha jkjk

 

Am I the only one who figured this out ? BoBo....it's the exchange rate that's causing your question! Our new CL65 friend from Florida is using US horsepower and you in Toronto, are unfortunately suffering from the Canadian Dollar. With that in mind, cl65benzo may actually need at least 700hp!
