Where can i get a 200 or 220 mph for my w220 s500??

I am putting in sl55 amg camshafts, custom headers, possiblity of Hennesey Custom supercharger, or used supercharger from kleemann or HPS in the next month or two.


i will be needing a 200mph or 220mph speedometer to upgrade my car for looks and also because it will be capable of past 160 runs with the added performance.

I have found a couple sites from Germany that have speedos but they are in KM/H and plus no one every replies back to my email.s


DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THESE SPEEDOMETERS???? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

THANKS

Your car will do no more than 134mph due to governing.. unless you know something the rest of us don't please share...

The AMG speedo has 200 or 220 but you will have to find somebody to program it for your car if you can find one.. IF you do, it will more than likely cost a few grand.. This may be the reason no one in Germany is replying to your emails.. The general consensus is that it won't work.
good luck

thanks clk06 but the sites i found for the tachometers where


www.mh-dezent.de and

www.ernstcardesign.com




they have the tachometers.....but i had to reply in german cause there in germany lol they couldnt understand my emails too well.


What they do is they custom design and make you the tachometers for the w220 or any mercedes you have and then send you the tachometer cover. they send you instructions on how to remove the instrument cluster and the old gauge and replace with the new one.

Then theres the part of calibrating the new gauge.. which i dont know who has to do that?????



can the dealer calibrate the new speedo??

The Kleemann is stout. They're excellent.

Avoid anything from HPS...https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/130280-need-advice-adding-more-power-hps-sc.html

wouldnt it be cheaper to just go out and get a 03 S55 instead of dumping all that money into it?

I'm sorry but these look like dog ****... the lettering is off center, the font is too big and it just looks kind of cheap... But that's just my opinion.

im trying to picture the mechs all scattering when you roll into the dealership.Im sure the SA loves you but what you so calmly listed,camshafts,headers,high flow cats,ecu tune,is a butt load of knuckle busting,blood drawing work.And then,"Will the car be ready tonight"?.no disrespect,just pure amazement.

You might want to consider going with Kleeman cams instead if you go the supercharger route. Using AMG cams from a supercharged engine in a normally aspirated 5 liter wouldn't be ideal, and using the AMG cams for a normally aspirated 55 engine would be a weak link if you supercharged the engine. These things work a lot better if approached systematically, and Kleeman does that very well.

well one of my friends from benzworld who has a supercharged SL500 is taking on the project of testing the SL55 camshafts in his 5liter m113 engine.

He is a mercedes mechanic and car whiz so hes gonna figure out if #1 they will fit, which they should and #2if it makes any gains on the car, which it also should.


He also told me that SL55 camshafts are much better and stronger since they are designed for the supercharged engine.



And yea Cobra the mods are def a BIG work in progress lol.
