This guy did his C55 . By his own admission (on all of his content) he is no 'specialist' and just has a go at stuff. Not the most riveting of videos but he has the posted the whole swap over 3 parts on his site.

He has done an excellent job, although I am not sure on his method of driving the supercharger bypass flap. It would seem if they had spent a bit more time analysing the engine ECU software, they could have determined the map its running on "out of gear" and tweaked that.

That said, its probably super aggressive as a result, which is always a good thing.

I believe his company are offering kits for the this in the future, so maybe an aftermarket of M113K powered manual kit cars? :)

Interesting!! Would be a missile 🧨 but which box would you use ?
 
I found a series of Vids on youtube a while back on the swap for the E55, they used a nissan gearbox i think.
