I think it does..It made 702 rwhp... That should do it.
Mines should be out the closet soon, what's killing me is that I had to be greedy and go with aftermarket set up. If I would have simulated the stock set up I would have been running 3-4 months ago.

it is not a conversion. it was a Brabus V12 with 700hp. and a Turkish guy tuned it in Dubai and gave him about 100hp more (guessing it was two lean from the engine inside), and after 2 days the engine broke down. the owner took it to a shop in Abu Dhabi, Mussaffah to fix it. but the engine was really messed up internally. so the owner asked from Brabus for an engine and they quated him 50k USD. so he just went the cheaper way and got S600 engine and replaced it. the car is not even 700hp anymore on the crank. yet saying 700RWHP.
it is slower than wthat it used to be as stock V12 Brabus.

Mike Spinelli — V12-powered Mercedes-Benz E-Class with two turbos and 700 hp at the wheels. The collaboration matches the hardware and geek bits of Chicago's Speedriven with the shoehorning expertise of ALSA Automotive Engineering of Dubai. ALSA swapped in the 12-can, fitted with gear Speedriven devised for the V12 S-Class, including billet-wheel turbochargers, top-mounted water-to-air intercoolers, "scorpion" air intakes and larger fuel injectors — all overseen by Speedriven ECU and TCU software.

That makes ZERO sense, it has ALL Speedriven IC/CAI/Larger Billet-Turbo upgrade mods on a 600tt engine, Speedriven recently added ONLY larger turbos + CAI/IC setup on a 2003 CL600 & made 611 rwhp 745 rwtq on 91 ECU tune for CA sh*y gas, on factory cats w/zero exhaust work, that power was also NOT just peak hp/tq but made @ 23-24 psi nearly thru ENTIRE rpm band.
The Dyno's are on this forum look it up
if he added exhaust work, no or hi-flo cats & 100-109 ECU no doubt kissing 700 rwhp![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

their dyno my friend shows a stock mini cooper S 400hp on the wheel ^_^.
i was there when they are doing this car. thats why i know the full story about this car.
replaced the totaled Brabus V12 with a S600 engine + mods to make it give more power.
i am willing to challenge this car anytime any where with my slightly modded E55

Ali, you mentioend that is was slower then then the original brabus engine, well obviously a stock v12 600 engine with brabus turbo's and software will never be anywhere near as powerful as the original engine the car came with... Also its true we had issues with the dyno, but that was a while ago... All is well now... This is the same car you saw, but not with the same upgrades, what it had before was modified or I should say fixed turbochargers from the original brabus engine and software, nothing more... You cant even press full from zero now, its crazy fast... Get your facts and "stories" right before you start blabbering on the internet

so lets get this right
1) it wasn't a 55 and converted to V12
2) it only has Brabus turbos and ECU tuning + S600 stock engine 5.5L
and with only these mods it is giving 700+ RWHP ? while Brabus has these mods + 6.3 V12 and they are saying it is 700hp on the crank.
nice to know ^_^
don't get me wrong, i know your guys in the shop are handy and good mechanical guys and they fix messes others did.
PLEASE read what was written on the website that it was a full convertion (while it is not) and correct the information for them.

Hey Ali, thanks for the comment... Regarding the car, when we got it it had a damaged engine from some tuner playing around with it as you know. The engine was a V12 6.3 as you mentioned from Brabus. We took that out since it was in really bad shape, and put in a 600 engine that was supplied to us, this is not something easy even if it might look like a direct swap.
We then took the turbo's off the Brabus engine, rehauled them and installed them on the 5.5 V12 and modified the ecu, which was making some where close to 680 hp (crank)...that was it since the turbo's that came with the 600 engine were in really bad shape.
So the next stage we did was swap the turbo's to speedriven's set up, intercoolers, intake and all the other parts that came with their package, which is what netted us the 700~ wheel hp figure.
So if I get what you mean, we did swap the engine and do the upgrade, we did not just install the modified parts from Speedriven....Is that what you meant? Let me know and I will do my best to answer your question

"sayegh87" What total PSI are you running? What's the ECU tune set for, 100-109 octane? Or? What about exhaust work? Thanks
