** Evosport 63-Series Development Progress **

[otoupalik]

Hey all, although we have been working on 63 development for quite some time, we had not formally announced anything. We wanted to take this chance to give a glimpse into what we are doing, and what we will have available for your 63-series AMG. We have been doing the majority of our development on a CLK63 Black Series. Have a car here and we're designing and building a number of great upgrades for the vehicle specifically as well as many items that will carry over to other 63-series models. Will use this thread to keep everyone posted. Some of the items being worked on as we speak are: Stainless long-tube performance headers + hi-flow cats Stainless x-pipe resonator replacement Compound brake rotors (front/rear) + upgraded pads evosport dampened crankshaft and accessory pulley kit Custom software Aero Package (front carbon lower diffuser, rear carbon DTM-style wing) Track Package (billet lower rear adj. control arm, camber plates, track spring setup) HEADERS T304 stainless steel, tig-welded, tri-y design, high velocity merge collector, pulse tuned, port matched, sleeved design. The final product will have a lifetime guaranteed high polish coating. Below are pics of the prototype unit...more to follow... Here is the header compared to the 63 Black OE log manifold compared to: BRAKES To start, we will offer multi-piece rear rotor (factory is solid) for the front and rear to match the front. Similar to what we offer now for the 55 AMG's (see below). Later we will offer a carbon ceramic rotor replacement option. PULLEY We will be offering the same industry leading technology found in our 55k pulley system for the 63-series cars. (image of a 55k system for reference SOFTWARE Starting with the a basic ECU tune to a custom tune for the pulley and/or long tube header and cats. Done in house with Powerchip. Every evosport power package is tuned using our in house dyno and engineering in partnership with Powerchip exclusively. AERO We are developing our own splitter and rear trunk and/or wing for the CLK and CLK Black. With enough demand, we will also be offering this for other 63-series models. These will be out of high quality carbon fiber TRACK SUSPENSION All suspension pieces are being designed and produced in-house by our engineering team. The combined team has over 80 year racing experience from Indy Car to F1 to World Challenge and ALMS. You can see more info on our racing team and program HERE and HERE Thanks!

Here are some updates as we wrap up the first development cycle.

Here are some X-pipe pics.




We have the option of Metallic Cats and Hi-Flow resonators for anyone if they are requested, FYI.

Here is a teaser vid with the exhaust (This is with the long tube headers, x-pipe, no cats and OE mufflers):


8MB video - FYI.

here is a much smaller version (the sound is the same, but the video quality is poor to keep it small):

Dont wanna hijack this board, but i was just snooping around. Quick question, is evosport going to make anything for the new c300's (w204)?

[otoupalik]

We are planning on it, but not till mid year at the earliest.

thanks

Some updates.

Exhaust:
- We did add our high performance resonators, the rasp and harshness is gone. it sounds amazing!

Dyno:
- We have finished the first night/round of tuning. Pretty happy with the results so far! +66 RWHP and +47 RWT for the header, exhaust and software (of course done with our tuning partner Powerchip)!


Here is a quick vid on the rollers:


Aero:
We have completed the front and the rear bits (with big thanks to our aero partner Vorsteiner who came through once again by accomplishing the impossible with far less time then reasonable) - we could make this for S-class with enough demand also:

The Carbon weave on the front and rear matches OE almost perfect. These are pre-clear coat, which is happening now. It is really hard to see the CF on the rear due to the lighting, but it is full CF.

More to come........

Thanks

And now..... final dyno numbers as delivered:



There is more to be had on the top end, but we ran out of time. The next one we will get some more!!!!!!

Here is the car hitting 200 on the dyno - YOUTUBE LINK 1 and YOUTUBE LINK 2

Thanks for all that followed this build!
