Nah.. I don't consider it fullfilled until I get my car all back together and get a dyno that reads 575rwhp.. Then I'll be happy! lol... I really want to close off the 55 project so I can get me a SL65 up here and go nuts with it.


Thanks bud! Vadim & I have the funnel pretty full and have some awesome stuff coming out... Wait till you see some of the more interesting 63 stuff we are going to be doing..

I will say with 100% honesty that I agree with your last statement... The future and present MB buyers will have a multitude of choices to fullfill their HP needs. No longer will they be tied down to one of the "Big 4" names. And that is good for everyone!

I am trying not to ask the same question I always ask, but I just can't hold it anymore...where are my dynos...

vrus

Jody.. I had a bet with Vadim to see how many days you could hold out before posting again... LOL..

Damn.. You just cost me $20 USD !!!

Just messing buddy...

Vadim is waiting for the dyno shop to come back from vacation believe it or not.. The SL65 monster is back together with the VRP "Scorpion" kit installed. As soon as the dyno is available, it will be strapped down for some baseline runs before the tuning session is started... Then.. Jeremy will start working his magic!

We are CLOSE.. VERY CLOSE...

Havoc

Yes Vic, I need something to say that I'm anything but STOCK.
Actually, they won't even know it's an SL55 AMG cause all they will see is a Silver Blur.....
However, they will hear me....

V12Godspeed

I was the first one to see this thread last night like at 12AM when you posted and I swore to myself not to ask, I just couldn't hold and not get in this action, HAHAHAHHAH, I hear you, I can't wait...

AMGfan

I better get back to work so I can afford the mods on this monster...

PS...Victor...cams are in the house. They should be taking the heads off within the next two weeks. Whenever I go to MB, I always turn heads when they hear the engine rumble...I can only imagine the effect of the heads/cams. My God...I can't imagine their reaction to the VRP1000 SL65.

vrus

Hey Jon!! Awesome! Those will help pump the blood in the veins of the beast a little more quickly!

I've already got the shop time booked for your heads.. Havoc's heads are going in right after yours.. Don't hold him up.. lol...

AMGfan

My paypal finger is ready...just shoot the invoice over!!!!

Havoc

Hey AMGfan,
Are you going with Stage 3 Heads and that Aggressive VRP Cam?

AMGfan

I just got the invoice that said Stage 2? What's the difference? I do have the VRP Cams in house though.

vrus

Hey Jon,

Your heads are Stage 2 (that's ported & polished w/VRP titanium retainers, STOCK valves). They will be identical to what JakPro received.

Havoc's heads are Stage 3 (his include bigger Ferrea valves and different port work)

Both stages include VRP cams.

Havoc

Hey Jon, ConGrats on the Head Work!
I would like to check out your car one day...

As for me; it can only be Stage 3!

vrus

Hey Keith... Wait until you see the turbos that are being added to the SL65 at the shop.. They'll work on other SL bodied cars also... That can be your VR1000 package ....

Havoc

I guess "SL" stands for "Somuch Love".

Yes, but I want that Bigger Blower First!!

Then, Turbos...
Can you say, VR1250 Package?

V12Godspeed

Will this VR1000 package work on the CL as well?...

ProjectC55

Vadim ,how r u gonna get Kool Air to those air filters? Any plans on modding the hood with vents,naca ducts,or something?

vrus

Lol... You definitely have the sickness... You're almost as bad as me.. lol... (That's a compliment! )

Looking forward to meeting you down there.

Of course! All 600/65 will benefit from it. Some models will require slightly different piping but for the most part it will work on all the body styles.

MB_Forever

After this is done, can you say Bugatti who

Vadim @ FD

Some parts of it will. Others will have to be tweaked to fit on W215.

Vadim @ FD

I am going to build a set of heat shields around the filters. I know it looks tight, but there is a bit of room to make it happen.

ProjectC55

I think in addition to the heat shields, with some nice hood ducts you could bring in some nice kool air. You wanna blk the heat but you also wanna try to give those babies as much ram air as possible no?

Vadim @ FD

No doubt, ducts will help. Present client wants to keep appearnce as stock as possible.

MB_Forever

He is going for stealth mode...... and he will definately surprise a few supercars with his "stock" SL65

I wonder what the 1/4 mile will be on this car

ItalianStallion

So is it true that the stock turbos on the SL65 and SL600 are K24's?

Also, I'm dying to see the turbos of choice for this VRP project

EUROTEK//AMG

yes, what kinda turbo's are u guys going to use ? if your going with a quad setup I take you not going with Garrett BB turbos ...
