I know this is the 55 forum, but I figured I would get some more input in here.

I recently picked up a used RENNtech supercharger from a CLK500. It's a little rough around the edges, but I plan on restoring it back to new and throwing it on my 4matic E500 Wagon. As for cooling, I plan on replicating the 55K cooling system utilizing an aftermarket HE, Bosch pump, and split cooling.

Here are some pics shortly after I picked it up:





The pulley spins by hand which is a good sign I'm 99% positive it's a Kenne Bell supercharger:





Found a replacement bypass valve actuator (Kenne Bell unit) which interestingly enough has a Mercedes part number on it:



I'd love to get some thoughts on which throttle body to run (factory or larger?) and fuel rail and injectors (stock everything?). The newest versions of the RENNtech kit I have seen contain a large looped rail with what looks like larger injectors:



Anyone also have a good recommendation for a supercharger rebuilder? Want to have everything taken apart, and cleaned up or replaced if necessary.

I'd love to hear any input or suggestions you guys might have

Here's a pic of my wagon:

Unless you're dead set in modding your own wagon, it is probably cheaper to buy an already modified Renntech e500 wagon and selling your existing one. There's an mbworld member selling a nice red Renntech e500 wagon right now. As far as I know, it hasn't sold:

I mean, there's not a ton left to do. Supercharger rebuild, cooling, fuel, and tune. I think having the blower complete with manifold is probably 75% of the journey. I love my wagon, and I love that wagon, too.

Looks like a Mercedes rail and injectors. Just looped

Do you think the looped rail is overkill? If I'm lucky I'll be at 380ish awhp. Although it's 500 internals, so I'm not sure.

no looped rail waste time and money
