An interesting picture for M275 lovers.

The Fat-*** intercoolers used by Pagani for the Huayra-version of the M275 engine.

They are usually hidden.

Nice!

AMG developed and built this Turbo- and Intake-Setup for the special demands of Pagani for the Huayra. Normally the German Company BEHR should be the supplier for these Intercoolers, but I have not researched this.

Quote from AMG Press-Release:

With a power output of over 700hp and a torque figure that exceeds 1000Nm
you do not need rocket science to tell you that the Huayra will be fast, but
true performance runs deeper, behind the mere acceleration and top speed
stats.

The M158 had to be a small, light engine, turbo-*‐charged but with the throttle
response of a normally aspirated engine. In a car that weights less than
1.400 kg it is vital that the engine responds to the slightest input made by
the driver’s right foot.

The design of the turbocharger and intake system is a result of these requests. A dry sump lubrication with 2 scavange pumps and one pressure pump guarantees that the engine lubrication is ensured during the harshest
driving conditions. The M158 is designed to withstand sustained lateral
accelerations of over 1.7G!

Would also be interesting to get more info on the used Turbo-Setup.

In my opinion these should be the Black Series Turbos, which are also used in the new SL65. From my research the new SL65 uses also the better Pierburg IC-Pump. So there is some little evolution in parts going on...

Interestin info on the Pump.

According to the second picture, yes the turbochargers are very similar to the ones used on the SL65 BS.

Too bad Pagani retained the crappy bottleneck exhaust manifold... The good thing would have been to use the Brabus manifold, wich is a beautiful part cast especially for brabus.

I am not really sure if the exhaust manifold or the size of the HOT-Turbine housing is the most important "bottleneck". From my understanding the HOT-Turbine Housing is the tightest area where the exhaust gas (from all 6 Cylinders) must go through.

Maybe the BS-Design is not that bad if a good tuner rework it and lays his hand on the internals.

I will find out with the help of my Tuner, who knows the Brabus Manifold and the BS-Manifold. If money plays no role, I would prefer the Brabus-Version.
