Oh, forgot to say, current power levels is limited by ECU and Injectors. Only 8-9psi... Aftermarket ECU and bigger injectors, and, well, when this much power has came that easy, I can't see 700bhp even being a problem on stock internals...

Car now for sale- http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/classifieds-cars-sale/201072-mercedes-e55-amg-turbo-500bhp-supercar-slayer-beast-mot-aug-2016-%A33500ono.html#post2205969

Basically, it's THE fastest road legal car you get get for the money! £3500ono First up, some performance facts. 60mph to 100mph times, proven using professional Racelogic Timing gear- Not BS Speedo or iPhone app timing... This car- 4.4sec (and numerous 4.5sec runs to back it up). As a...

Right, so last time it made 440bhp at 2psi boost, and 465lbft at 4.5psi boost. It was very fast. It's now running 8-9psi. It's a whole lot faster. Option 1- Back to the dyno and get a lovely 500bhp+ number for everyone to go 'ooooh' over, but it's meaningless really, and tbh wouldn't make...

Chucked the Merc on the rollers earlier... Had boost control issues so was running very little boost, 4.5psi peak, dropping to 2psi by peak rpm. Should be 7psi holding all the way through. Despite running less boost than even any standard turbo engine runs, it made 440bhp@6050rpm and...

It's a flapper valve, designed to handle and seal against boost pressure, as it's fitted as standard to Volvo Penta engines which have a turbo and a supercharger as standard. The engine vacumn sucks it open, getting air from the underbonnet filter, just like it being N/A. As soon as there no...

One thing I felt it needed after the last drift day was better response, it spools up fast, I don't mean that, I meant throttle response, not turbo response. Turbo cars are never as good as n/a for that unless they got ALS as until the turbo is blowing more air than the engine is sucking, the...

Like most standard production cars, off throttle at least, the E55 understeers too much for my liking, so more front grip was in order. 18in track tyres are pretty pricey to be fair, but then I managed to get a pair of brand new Pirelli tarmac WRC tyres for less than the price of 1x normal...

Some poly bushes would really help. None of the bushes are exactly knackered, but can feel the car moving around on them when driven hard more than I'd like. Not surprising with car this heavy, but it would be a big improvement if no longer like that. Unless my searching skills are really...

Totally forgot about this thread, so 9 months later, here's an update... We got bored for a bit and for a few months just left it down the workshop gathering dust. Then it was MOT time, so we thought it was about time to get it on the road, and it passed the MOT easily with just 2 tyres and 2...

Been a few weeks since we've updated as we've been so busy. Still running just 0.4-0.5bar boost while we quadruple check everything, but thankfully no more CVs or driveshafts have exploded. Having said that, accelerating hard in a straight line (from a ~40mph rolling start) managed to snap...

Ouch. At £600 I'd be getting some custom made bulletproof ones made. Luckily stock E55 AMG 25 spline ones are only ~£40 used.

The W210 E55 one is 25 spline, I know a lot of other Merc ones are 27 spline. If you can count them, that'd be handy, as correct spline should be good enough to say they'll fit going by all the Merc ones we've looked at so far.

Do they fit? Are they stronger? If yes to both, I'm 100% interested. Boost is always dependent on throttle position, that's just turbochargers/physics. Boost by gear/rpm can be done with an aftermarket ECU, but not something we'd want, as taming power delivery just isn't AMG style really, and...
