When I "graduated" from a Honda Elite 80 cc to a CBR 600 F2 (a looong time ago) I thought "Wow! 12 sec. 1/4 miles all day long - I'll never get used to this!"
Within a month, I was twisting it on EVERYWHERE, urging it forward screaming "Come on ... Come ON ... COME ON!!"
It's amazing what you can get used to. (that line's from Roadhouse, btw)

Something like this, I was thinking ... not in the same position, exactly, but we have a V8 standing ready (off to the side).

very interesting.
The average mileage on a E55 is about 50 to 60k miles. Would you need to refresh the engine internal example piston rings etc to handle this additional boost?
Would piggy back ecu and fuel system be included or not?

This sounds awesome. I love turbos. So the idea behind this would be to replace the supercharger with a custom intake manifold, replace the headers with custom turbo manifolds, add the turbos and then downpipes to connect to the exhaust I assume?
Then of course some kind of inlet pipes for the turbos to air filters and oil feed lines from some kind of setup on the oil filter housing as well as oil return lines to the oil pan (not sure how you would go about the return line). And how about water cooled also, or just oil cooled turbos?
A kit with GT2868 turbos would be insane for torque like the supercharger provides as well as having 650whp capability on 93 octane pump gas and meth injection or slightly over 600 on straight pump. What are the limits of the stock rods in these engines though? That is kind of uncharted territory right? I know there are people who have ran nitrous in that level but that isn't a power level ran all the time since you aren't always using the nitrous when you mash the throttle like the turbos would be providing.

lol just but a 550 motor put some forged rods and pistons and turbo that instead. you will get more money selling the whole E55 motor rather than just the s/c

I know the supercharger is the heart of the E55 but if the twin turbo setup is more efficient I am down for that!

Oh yea ! if this kit can fit for W210 E55. Plus, W210 weight less than W211 so should be even faster !!! I like to keep my E55K with the SC on it. So for TT solution will be in W210, for budget of $6k to $8k should be fine.

As for 50-60K miles - I don't think there would be any reason to refresh the engine, unless it lived those 50,000 miles 1320 feet at a time.

That's a unique turbine housing! Couple questions.
Is the wastegate integrated into that?
Is that one of those new stainless steel units I've been reading about?
Looks like you guys are coming along quite well. I spy some nice BEHR intercooler cores there too. BTW which engine is that?

what turbo's would you plan on using? Ive ran Garret, Holset, and Borg Warner all with great performance on my race cars.
