Congrats on your new ride.

But you never replied to that thread were I was explaining you what the Brabus T65S kit is.

https://mbworld.org/forums/sl55-amg-...5s-brabus.html

That's not a 6.5 liter conversion. The engine is still a 6.0.

That is an engine kit for 65 engines, featuring a New exhaust manifold/turbineWheel/turbine wheel housing, Exhaust and ECU remap.

And nothing for cooling, wich I find ridiculous.


Anyway, that's a beast.

Official output for the T65S kit is 715 Horsepower.

I know its suppose to be 715 hp but there was more done to it than the standard t65s package cuz when I’ve taken the car to service at the brabus service center the test driver of the pdi (pre delivery inspection) told me that the car has more power than their 800 hp package so I asked him to inspect the car and he told me the ecu again was remapped for more power as well as a straight pipe installed.

Btw the brabus spec says 6.2l. Check the attachment

Congratz! But judging from ur vid vs SL63 those Brabus upgrades aint cuttin' it.. You barely pulled on 'em then glance @ Speedo confirms NO crazzyyy acceleration Get a re-tune etc asap or get $ back on bogus engine cover peppered in Brabus hooplaaa OEM stock blk series would put you back in bell-bottoms as it looks SLOW

Don't take it wrong just a lil' kidding, I easily make 633+ rwp 800+ rwt translates to 772 Crank BHP & 975 BTQ I've run tuned/header/full exhst/lit whls/ 100 oct SL63 from 50-140 mph flat NO contest I pulled bus lengths up o shut down.. You could barely see his headlights more like candles @ distance I took (gave em 3 chances, even gave em the jump, didn't matter it was sad... SL65 w/or w/out mods SLAUGHTERS OVERWEIGHT N/A SL63 all day any day..

that's a mistake brabus made. I emailed them they confirmed this.

The 6.2 is a stroker Brabus offers for the 5.5 600 Engines.

You car is a 6.0.


BTW it's curious Middle eastern always buy the most expensive stuff without searching the most effective solution.

Brabus is overpriced crap.

Instead of Focusing on Cooling upgrades, they install a bigger turbocharger exhaust manifold that increases the Heat issue...




Speeddriven 's approach is 100000X better, more effective, for a fraction of the cost.

Brabus charges something like $30,000 for ECU + Exhaust and exhaust manifold. LOL

There are also two pipes in your engine bay that do not appear in the stock version. Maybe a cooling upgrade... Thoughts ?

Good news you have cooling upgrades. Can you see if you have a secondary heat exchanger behind the front bumper ?

like this.

BTW I think the pipes we see are the coolant fluid lines that have been Heat isolated from the engine.

I can be wrong. There are some specialists here that can answer.

It seems you have some custom work done to your car in addition to the brabus T65S kit.

What do you know exactly about the history of the car ?

go rewatch vid, it barely pulls away when they hit it. the lights in didtance on rit side Appear to be sl63, while lights in driver side mirror appear to be different car.. tho main critique is how slowly Brabus barely eeks out a small lead.. also the t65 etc kit shud hav quad intercoolers, the engine cover wouldnt fit after such work. This setup doesnt have extra IC's judging by pix posted, ive never seen 1 brabus quad ic setup dressed in stk cover.. may hav bored 6.2 & extra HE but somethings wrong too slow, look @ speedo shot too.. maybe bleed ic's & replace ic pump? just tryin to help.. purdy car!

Looks like like they start from almost a dead stop at the 2 second mark in the video, run for 8 seconds and when the camera pans in on the speedo it looks like its coming down off of 230kph which converts to 130mph. I say thats pretty quick.

DCM..Bigger turbos actually create less heat.

Hate to harp on this I've done 1,000's of roll-ons like this, count the seconds a loud, or get real stop watch, from point they hit it when dead even (then NOT including honks) it takes an entire (5) SECOND COUNT for Brabus T65 to barely pull (1) car length then slowly eek on It should blow by sl63 like it's dragging a boat

It's 100% sure OP has no bigger intercoolers, you're right it's impossible to fit them under the stock CF plenum.

But bigger or Quad IC's are the BIG cooling upgrade and rare.

Additional HE + pump (And reservoir) are already a great improvement over stock.

^ Yeah some one I guess, the rear logo's had "SL65 S". Wouldn't call it a sleeper since a stock SL65 is fast.
Pretty impressive I have to say, but the power brabus advertise isn't what it really puts down. +800hp should be damn quick
Well, mabrook brother, you enjoy that beast! and do share future pictures and videos with us in the future
