1000 HP AMGs
 

What does 1000HP car means now-a-days?

As HP wars keep escalating, 500, 600 and or even 700HP are no longer head turning numbers. Over the past number of years Vipers, Corvettes, Mustangs and of course Supras have climbed close or above this number. One of the high-power cars that I have helped tune, a number of years ago, was a Supra with T88 single turbo. It put out 750 RWHP with 27 psi of boost and 870 RWHP with 200HP shot of "juice".

It had a TQ curve of a mountain cliff and personality of a bulldog with mental problems.

I usually reffer to cars with these power levels as "Jesus" car - if you never believe in "Jesus" before - you will be screaming his name riding it.

When it comes to AMGs, to the best of my knowledge, there are several cars in high500s and couple are in mid600s on juice. One is 600 and one is 55. Both are capable of more and now time has come to truly unleash the beasts.

SL65. It has full RennTech Stage II with software and CF air boxes. The plan is to go to 1000HP, with room to go more if needed.

Car will be done in three stages. First, bigger intercoolers and air boxes, new exhaust manifolds and bigger turbos and lastly ported heads with cams. We are planning to create an upgrade path for current 65 and 600 owners in stages. Right now the intercoolers are almost complete.


Later this week we are starting on air boxes and exhaust manifolds. I will keep this thread updated with pictures as we progress.

E55. Victor and I have talked about adding twin turbos to 55s for a long time now. After looking at number of different scenarios, we agreed to simply blow into the kompressor. Over the years I have seen a number of similar setup work very well. Kompressor keeps low-end TQ, turbos add high-end HP. This setup should keep cost fairly low and installation simple.

This will be our next project when 65 is complete.

Stay Tuned! :D

I KNOW I am going to enjoy watching this thread . . . :eek:

Get back to work on one of your current projects. :X

:y

that intercooler looks great vadim. You have to get me the first run when you have them. Hell send me a set and let me test them for you. Good work to you and vrus and as always keep me posted.

+1 :popcorn: :popcorn:

"we agreed to simply blow into the kompressor".
This and control over the bypass valve= beast to Monster.

Tuned in and ready for the show. BTW 1000hp car nowadays means 1000WHP

Wow impressive!

Is that much power usable though, is the car going to be drivable at full power?

How about the transmission, will it handle the power AS-IS?

Vadim,do you have a close up shot of the welds on the intercooler?I'm a welder&I get a chubb looking at quality welds:D

Seems welders make good $$. Nice car history.

I just creamed my pants...Now it gives me time to do some "financial planning" for my twin turbo!!!! WHOOOOO! WHOOOOO!

Vadim, dont make me keep my 65.....looking good.

Don't worry Mark.. we are taking care of your baby also.. :)

The part was ordered and will arrive tomorrow.. :y

ESP will be very intrusive... Car will need a really good tire to hookup... We'll see how it is to drive once we are done, and then de-tune if necessary.

As for transmission, the 65 has the strongest MB tranny.. its rated for 1000nm of torque if I recall correctly.. It should be ok but we are looking into that aspect also.

Jude.. I told you great things were coming and not to sell that beast of yours... :)

Your name goes down for second set of intercoolers... Did you send Vadim those blank cheques yet? hahahahah.. :D


Hey Vic.. I want a ride in the 65 before I leave Cali... :)

Dont worry Jon... Chris @ C2 will have access to the 55 SCTT upgrade kit... LOL. I'll make sure that beast of yours is first in line.. :)

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

I haven't even got your new pully from UPS yet, and you wan't to spend more of my money:naughty:

Hey arent we supposed to get some beers this week?

Im overly excited right now! lol, CLS 55 AMG SCTT :D

I'm giving you some breathing room.. start saving those pennies.. More ponies are coming.. :D

My plane lands at LAX at 8:55pm tomorrow night.. I'm ready when you are. :y:y

I'm having badges made... I'll mail you one and you can hang onto it until the engine matches the badge.. :y

AMG SCTT...that would make a nice license plate.

Finally someone has decided to take on waking up the BEAST and her potential!:zoom: 1k hp! :y :y :y

lol send me the badge!!! ill hang it on my wall, until i get it to remind myself in the morning why I go to work and make money lol....... :zoom:

Bad influence Bad influence~im about to sell my car in Jan....u guys make me want to keep mine~lol

Too late for me...I'm drinking from this fountain of madness. I think I'll have to see through the end of what insanity they have planned for the 55K engine.

how about a turbo kit for those n/a 55's as well???
