Madru17 2006 white/merlot e55 build thread

Madru17 2006 e55 white/merlot build thread

Hey guys I decided it would be fun to build a fun daily driver so I decided to go look for a clean w211...I luckily found a car that is to the exact spec as I would have ordered new

I picked up her up last week with 26,000 miles on it and bone stock, it has the following factory options...
Dynamic seats, birds eye wood, merlot interior, navigation, parking sensors, heated seats, air conditioned seats, Harmon kardon package..etc

A few days after picking her up I went to Powerhaus Performance to get some baseline numbers on their mustang which reads on the low side... We put down 387whp and 434tq which I was very pleased with....






..............


So I decided its time to make some more power so I ordered the following mods which are going on this week at Powerhaus Performance in Cherry Hill, NJ
American racing long tube catless headers
K and N drop in filters
S55 intake tube
Eurocharged upper pulley
FTP heat exchanger
Johnson heat exchanger pump
split system
Bosch 550cc injectors
Eurocharged trans tune
Tune..

I'll have updated dyno numbers in the next week!! I look forward to the build

Also have many non performance mods on the way

update:
here are some pics of the goodies


next to the Twin turbo CLS55 AMG














Look how clean that block is



















powerhaus tuned!!!
picked up 70 whp and 84tq on the heart breaker... shes a beast with iat temps staying close to ambient temps and coming back down almost instantly after pulls!!!

very nice car was that the car on ebay? Hope you split your intercooler system keep those air charge temps down. Also log everything you can on that car you wouldnt want to hurt that low mileage car.

This place is a joke.
Looks clean. What did you pay? You may want to reconsider the johnson pump for something like the varimax from Lingenfelter.

How much did the headers run you? Are they custom? I don't see any full sets on their site.

It looks like you found yourself a nice clean virgin and it seems as though you have a nice game plan for her.

Congrats and good luck.

Those are not custom headers. They are ARH. I have them on my car. Great quality and sound.
