Guys,
I am not the best in the mod so here got question.
C43 which is 4.2L engine with SC can go up to 436whp ? whats about the internal work ? here is a post from this guy AMGMater4343 claim his car runs 436whp and someone offered him $24K. And in other thread he is making it 500whp is that possible ?

found a pix of his engine bay, its HPS kit...... i really doubt that thing pushing 436whp...... therefore 500 crank hp ?

baldmike73

if he can shoehorn a 55K motor in it sure

CharlyE500

na, he got a 4.2L in it. A stock E55K is about 410Whp..... thats why i doubt 4.2L with HPS SC kit runs 436Whp and claim his car was offered for $24K. I noticed that HPS SC kit is not as common or reliable as Kleemann.

$25k??? Buy mine instead and have over 500whp on 93 octane and proven 1/4 mile times!

This is what he said:
"haaa yes heaters. I love when I get the WTF just happen look when I take an E55 owner out just like you. Do my homework lol oh what do you know there is a link for a E55 for sale thats $40,000 on the bottom of the post. I thought you said they don't cost that much. your right about the 380 RWHP in a C43 if you just do mods just on the block by itself, but I have engine internals jack *** that why I have 436. Oh one more thing I have not upgraded my car yet to an E55 because i like my car but I have been looking at CLK63BS SC or GT3RS 3.9 Sharkwerks, and the E55 is a joke when it comes to those cars, have a nice day.

A SC C43 should be around 380whp with mod to the block can increase to 436whp ? which is 56whp extra. I remember 3 or 4 years ago, I was thinking to do HPS SC kit for my E500 but had so many bad comments about that kit and won't really make 100hp at crank ! That's why I sold my E500 and got E55. Kleemann SC kit was about $12k at the time....... anyways, 436whp ........

I doubt a stock c43 with the hps could even push 380whp. I mean stock they are around 240whp and hps claims to add 100hp to the crank...so no way

I had a 2000 e430 years ago with an HPS kit on it. It dynoed about 325rwhp. Stock was 225rwhp. I was one of the first to have the second gen kit. After all the bugs got worked out I drove it for 50K with the kit on before I sold the car.

438rwhp....

CharlyE500

Thats what I thought....... I believe E430 has the same engine as C43. The C43 has ECU tune to make 302hp at crank. Basically they share the very same engine. From 225whp to 438whp with HPS this guy is just dreaming.

Vic55

Too lazy to read the links but is this car tested in the real world? Track times, trap speed??? Dyno schmino...

CharlyE500

No Vic, no dyno no track times, Nada just talk....... here is his last post.
Some people just live in dreams...... I don't have enough knowledge to justify if from 330whp can boost up with "internal work" to make it 436whp.

Proven car from a solid forum member. I'd rather have his W208!

CharlyE500

He has W202 C43 not W208 so proven what ?

bbearden

I was referring to Blackbenz's car if you take a closer look at my post.

My opinion is: who really cares? Whatever this C43 guy is doing doesn't matter to any of us. He doesn't come on our board and talk crap or anything. We should focus our time on getting rid of Turdfuk.

CharlyE500

I just couldn't stand someone's almighty C43 that can walk E55K and got offer for $24K for C43. Just too jealous that 4.2L HPS has more power than my 5.4L tiny little engine worthless e55

skratch77

wait a 4.3 blown v8 cant make 430whp?
