C36 AMG for sale

[stats007]

remapping would give more than 15

Like I said - not really. You'd get 20bhp at most from an aggresive remap.

Yep, agree completely. Petrol cars hardly gain anything significant from chipping. I would be surprised to see 10-15 BHP increase from a C36 engine.

"when i bought the vehicle 7 years ago it only 4 owners now it has 10!! due to buisness,bailiffs and camera flashes it had to change ownerships to save my license and so on!!!"

Nice.

Re Bailiffs,

The re-registering a vehicle to avoid debts is illegally, even then if the vehicle was re-registered it could still be seized to establish ownership of the vehicle, which would end up in court.

Probably not what this chap would want.

Guy in our rally series runs a c36 amg engine, 450bhp from a remap, but then its not running on the road, same with the beemer M3 engine......

 

[stats007]

Haha - no offence but if you think just a remap has given it 450bhp you're very mistaken!

 

[W210 Fan]

Your right, it wasnt just a remap, that upped power by 100bhp ish, the rules are quite strict on engine tuning so we didnt do that much, apart from underdriving some of the pulleys and removing the air con that was about it, obviously it was rebuilt and everything was fitted nicely but we didnt actually do that much work, as its rear engined the exhasut run is different, much shorter but then it coils a lot more, inlet tract is about the same length.....

 

[stats007]

Sorry that's still rubbish. A remap just can't offer that sort of power increase on a NA car - unless of course you've supercharged it and altering boost?

 

[janner]

If you added two turbos, low compression pistons and a custom ECU you would still be lucky to get 450bhp from a C36.

 

[W210 Fan]

Pressure charging is in a different class, remember this is racing not road stuff, that sort of power is easily available if you know what your doing, I dont claim I do but the engine expert i built the engine with does, he has got that sort of power increase from just about every engine he has worked on and supplied to fellow competitors including PVR V6`s, nissan V6`s, Audi V8`s, beemer straight 6`s and a beemer V12, the beemer V12 is his personal engine, sleeved down to 3litres to get it into the class he wanted, revs to about 12k and produces 550bhp, bet you dont believe that either.......

If I did that much work to an engine I would be upset if I only got 450 horse, there is a C36 somewhere in germany with twin turbos which runs at nearly twice that, if I can find it I shall forward you the link, remember this is motorsport where engine logevity is a few hundred miles where it can be rebuilt - not a few hundred thousand miles, if your buying off the shelf road spec crap I would also expect to see those performace figures, when you have a custom engine built by en expert its in a different class......

anyway guys we have stolen this thread, if you wish to continue this debate should we not open our own one?

 

[stats007]

He hasn't got the power purely from a remap - there is simply a physical fuelling limit you can reach by altering a set of data.

..beemer V12 is his personal engine, sleeved down to 3litres to get it into the class he wanted, revs to about 12k and produces 550bhp, bet you dont believe that either.......

I don't doubt that. What I do doubt is that you can get 450bhp by remapping a C36 ECU. If you could Mercedes wouldn't have bothered with the C43.

C36 twin turbo link (500bhp after a LOT of work)

 

[W210 Fan]

I stand corrected, the C36 twin turbo was 561 bhp and yes, that was the car I had seen, that article in fact,

as its rear engined the exhasut run is different, much shorter but then it coils a lot more, inlet tract is about the same length.....

now, this C36 I'd like to see!!

The engine sits in a custom built rally car to pretty much Paris-Dakar spec which races in France, sorry its not sat in a merc
