Looks like the crank and rods are forged... But also looks like the turbos are welded to the manifolds...
Yes........but there is one tuner who has made custom manifolds to fit bigger backhousings cant remember the name of the guy tho but thery are in Germany and it was like part of a $16k tuning package option to upgrade the turbos.

Here is the cutaway setup from the 5.4 bi-turbo.

65 Chevelle Wagon w/ C5 frame, 08 ML63, 04 S600, 04 E55,(sold) 00 ML55,(sold) 98 C43-55K Swap
Has any one swapped on the 63's 5.4 turbos on yet? I assume there larger than the ones on the 550's 4.6?

no air suspension on the coupe... since they are based on the C class.. just adaptive shocks.. which work fine. But the springs could use a 20mm reduction and stiffness.. not much..but more to AMG levels.


I have a friend of the family with his own little shop in fontana, baseline road. He has 2 lifts, and he shares his spot with a smog check business.

He can do practically anything I need for him to do.. brakes, rotors, oil, trans, rear end diff, anything..

let me know if you need something installed or maint. I can send you his number on Private Mssg.

usually I buy the parts and he charges me labor... much cheaper than the bigger shops.

3-pointed star
Renntech's tune is approx. 450rwhp and 530rwtq.

The E550TT has been out since 2012 but no further tuning has been done, is this its limit?

Doubtful W212 E63 original wheels will fit. Because They have a wider track then Normal E class. Nice pickup!
