Boring the M113 motor
As the modding geeks reside in the E55 forum, I thought I'd ask here.
Anyone here ever bored out the M113 motor? Anyone ever thought about doing it?
I haven't seen any, so I'm guessing something like the absence of suitable pistons are holding the ideas back. Or perhaps the cost involved would be too great for too small of the performance increase?

SL 65 AMG and E63s AMG
I'm no expert on MB engines and have never done any work on the motors but as I understand it the M113 motor is the same as the E55 except that it is stroked a bit. As it is an aluminum block with sleeves I don't know how thin it can be bored. AMG has hotrodded this motor ad infinitum and have never gone greater than 5.4 liters. (The 5.4 is actually a 4.30 liter motor which has been bored and stroked already.) You might get a German motor guru who could build a wicked blown version though.

If money was not an such an object, I would slap a dish plate sized pulley set on it.
The motor is as strong as an ox....the Klee/Renn mods give you the most power but are designed for long term usage......but money no object....who cares about long term usage. I would Kompress the hell out of it.
