I started this project a few months ago with a plan just to do a tune any maybe some new wheels. This quickly changed and I was soon bitten by the V12 bug.
My premise now has become to try and maximize what I am working with while keeping the reliability and quality I expect from Mercedes. My design choices will not be to everybody's taste. I am going for the slightly outrageous super car concept and do not want to see another car looking the same.
This is my Mod list:
- Suhorovsky wide-body kit
- Eurocharged custom dyno ECU
- Eurocharged TCU upgrade
- larger billet turbo wheels
- port and polish turbo housing and manifold
- ceramic coat manifold
- Speedriven Inter cooler
- Speedriven Heat exchanger
- Speedriven larger transmission pan
- Speedriven billet idler pulleys
- Custom CAI with Amsoil filters
- Kleeman 3" catless downpipes
- Full 3" stainless exhaust with X-pipe
- 200cell sport cats

I am currently about half way. The deadline is the 25th March so I can take it to VMAX. Fingers crossed
I didn't see it for myself but the shop said it required a lot of work. To be fair every time I have ever had kits or bodywork done all shops say that.
What I can say is that the guys at suhorovsky have been good with support and have been keen to keep up with the progress.
I will find out more on the turbo work when they get to the shop at the end of next week. It will be a billet turbo slightly larger than stock. Unfortunetly the turbo housing and manifold are cast as one piece so I am limited on the size possible.
The housing however is the same as the sl65 and I think the sl65 black so a larger better flowing turbo can definetly be done. Boost levels are not really limited by the internals. The only real consideration to limit boost will be the transmission.
The SL600 started using the sl65 transmission in around 2007 so mine will be the upgraded version which has been shown to hold 800BHP. And 1,000nm of torque.
Wheel picture. I am still trying to figure out the picture thing. ( ok that worked) are the pictures always that size or is their a way of making them smaller?
But are you Taking the smaller lip spoiler off or keeping that. I hope not, but I don't know if this is a dry fit or permanent..but I am trying to find a spoiler like that as well.
