Mercedes E63 w\ Kleemann Supercharger, Headers, Quaiffe LSD+more from GMP Performance
The owner of this 2008 E63 has been preparing for his supercharger kit for a while, having brought it to us for a Quaife limited slip differential to set up the car's handling for the future power upgrade. Getting their upgrades from Kleemann, pros at the mechanics of a Mercedes engine, it's no joke to say this E63 will be one bad Benz by the time we're done with it!

Horn removed and radiator tank installed
Coolant hoses routed and connected
Air filter housing modified to fit over charger
Wiring the water pump fuse and relay
Radiator coolant lines installed
Horn relocated
Bolt for new pulleys
Bolt sized to fit in hole
Not enough threads on new bolt so we went ahead and machined some more!
Charger pulleys and belts test fitted
Pulling the ECU for programming
Changing spark plugs
This is where we found out that the front bumper cover would need more clearance for all the hoses.
Nothing to worry about! With some careful trimming, we cut away enough space to allow that room.
All foam inserts back into the bumper cover
Bumper, ECU and engine covers all get placed back in
And just like that, this 2008 E63 has morphed into something new, something incredible. Anything rocking that AMG badge is already a stout, powerhouse of a vehicle but when you add the expertise of Kleemann to the mix, you know you're talking something special. Our client is ecstatic and in the end, that's what matters most. We still can't wait to get this bad boy back to do some dyno numbers with though!

DAMNNN!!! With pics and all, I felt like I went through a life of a teenage who was skinny and then put on serious mass by working out lol
TBH I was kinda bummed for not being able to see before and after dyno numbers.
Good work though

Crazy that Kleemann built real headers for the 63 and not those 1 5/8 shorties like they did for the 55.

Thanks for the compliments. We would love to have the before and after dyno information also. It's definitely a good selling tool but overall the client is very impressed as he drives it daily he definitely has a good gauge of how it felt before and now after of course.
