This is something to keep you guys from killing yourselves over the weekend. Response is good, but boost shown is only 18 lbs., so there's still a bit of a ways to go.

More to come next week (weather permitting).

(also: W215 CL600)

With regard to the weight issue, I thought that in terms of SL55 v SL600, the V12 is only a 100 lb penalty (4400 v 4500). So not that much of a difference.

My research says that E55 weight 4200 lbs

If you think the SL65 V12 engine is a lot heavier that is a myth! The engine weighs only about 60lbs more then a SL55 engine... Granted the 60lbs is in the wrong place being up front...

Take into account the entire SL65 only is about 160 lbs heavier then the similarly equipped SL55!

The entire SL65 drivetrain is beefed up and they all have full options (heated/cooled seats etc) and full leather on every part of the car which is heavier the vinyl... Plus remember the SL65 has the following:

1. Limited slip (30lbs)
2. Much larger (enormous)brakes (25 lbs)
3. Heavier axles and drive shaft, (15 lbs)
4. Extra inter-coolers (2) (10 lbs)
5. 19 inch wheels (10 lbs)

Just to list a few items... Add up all of the extra weight of these SL65 only performance items and you will realize that the extra 160lbs of weight is spread out over the entire car...

That is very impressive with just 18psi, When I had the VRP825 package it was hitting 29 psi of Boost and peak of 30's...of course it was only laying down close to 700 rwhp...

NEMES1S

I thought it was awful, but that is pretty substantial for 18psi, looking forward to big boost

Speedriven1

Me, too! Only so much boost you can make on 91 octane, and we're easing into it on this particular car (the fact that the weather isn't playing along doesn't help - lots of snow delays).

More dyno graphs later in the week.

Speedriven1

1. the max boost the turbos will put out is 25+, but on pump gas tune we're going to keep it in the low 20s.

2. this is our "premier v12 tuning pkg", from our site: http://speedriven.com/products_pkgs.html

Thank you Jo! Ultimately shooting for both a street tune on CA **** 91 + Race tune on 109 via your Tune-switcher gadget

Yo bud! Keep in mind the car used to make that Dyno above has ZERO exhaust work IE DP's full 3"/Race or NO cats etc = EZ 25 + rwhp will prolly loose 1 psi after exhaust work & = near 600 rwhp on 17-18 psi, 25 psi will add 7-8 lbs boost, each psi is worth a conservative 10hp it's adding up nicely

I know you're NO stranger to boost this pkg is looking good..

MBH motorsports

Speediven was on the dyno again today. Don't know what the results were, but I'm sure Jo will be along to share them with you guys.

OUTCAST

Nice work guys keep it up!

NEMES1S

No new dyno yet?

Sunir

max boost of 35 psi = how many BAR? Also will you be controlling boosting charecteristics with an on board EBC?

blackbenzz

~2.38 bar

Sunir

sorry I mis-typed I meant 25 psi? As Jo indicated for his kit...

Speedriven1

We were running out of injectors. Back to work on the car last weekend after making just about 750 hp - once the new injectors are in we should be good.

NEMES1S

I kept thinking fuel would be an issue. Just because I haven't checked, do 600's and 65's have the same pump and injectors?

Speedriven1

A. they do not, the 65s flow more.

B. I am not 100% sure that this is an issue on ALL 600s, rather than just THIS 600, you know? The new injectors should get here in the AM, and we'll have some results.

thanks joe/speedriven for taking time out to explain ecu ugrade for my sl65-it is completely stock w/5500 miles what performance should i expect? any youtube video for ecu update compared to stock sl65? thanks again

AdrockTT

Just a standard conversion for all PSI: BAR = 14.7 PSI:1 BAR

So 25 PSI = 1.72 BAR

NEMES1S

What are the specs/brand on the injectors you are going with? how much bigger are they than stock?

Thericker

Is that 750rwp or Crank?

blackbenzz

That one has clogged injectors?

Speedriven1

It still had the old fuel filter, which has been updated by MB. On the 600s, the old filters also had a pressure release. A few ways the fuel delivery might not have been 100%.

Still waiting on UPS, guys.

Speedriven1

Crank on pump gas.
