One VERY fast and powerful E55 left our workshop on Saturday the spec is already pretty impressive with Kleemann Headers, sports cats, full custom exhaust, bigger injectors and split cooling and of course a Weistec blower to set things off.
There's lots more to come with a number of possibilities still being discussed with the owner. Next step is a Killer Chiller installation and then possibly 82mm TB, cams, heads and a maybe a full 5.7L build with forged internals.
Big thank you to Acid@MSL, Olly@PCS as well as Steve@Weistec and Jerry@Eurocharged for there help during the build and to MBClub members BFT & Alps who both went out of there way to help in making sure we could keep on schedule.
We still have a little work to fine tune things but with 662bhp already and still some headroom left as the car is currently running a little rich with AFR's dipping into the 10's, average IAT on the dyno was mid 50C and running 1 bar of boost. Some of you will know first hand just how conservative our dyno is (no 55 has ever gone over 600bhp on our dyno) so these numbers are even more impressive particularly the way the torque holds through most of the rev range.
What's it like to drive? Only one word sprung to mind when I got out of the car INSANE
Here's some pics for the time being.
