Can you give a breakdown of what is included in the package and some dyno sheets? How many V12 cars have this kit been put on?

Kit includes billet-wheel turbo upgrades, top-mounted intercoolers, ECU+TCU software, intakes, filters, and all the associated hardware. We've done (versions of) this kit to all 3 cars in my avatar (silver car is the "prototype), and have 2 more in-house at the moment.

I'm interested in your package for my 2005 CL65. Shoot me a detailed parts list at doctorv8 at gmail when you get a chance.

Thanks!

Thanks...what is the #of hours of labor for the installation? I am assuming the $14K or so is just for the parts.

About 24 hours for install, depending on the car (if it needs additional service, etc.). $17K total is a safe bet. Well under $20k for sure, including transport to and from Chicago.

We have 3 in-progress as I type this (oddly enough, 1 CL, 1 SL, and 1 S). Cores from the client cars shown, below.

Correct me if I am wrong...I am assuming that any warranty on parts is ONLY good if your shop installs it? I have a shop that I use in Tampa that is very good and has done all my cars/SUV...their shop is meticulous and the wrench there is top notch.

Please don't take offense...I am always wary whenever I don't have the ability to check on them while they are being worked on...

If I have understand , The turbochargers consists of the stock Exaust manifold/Turbine wheel housing, And a Kompressor wheel housing Machined to Welcome an upgraded Kompressor Wheel.

Am I right ?

You're wrong, but I think that's understandable (given how many shops have that clause in their warranty). We'll back the parts.

That said, I'd like to at least talk to the wrench. I'm sure he's qualified, but you know how it is. You want to be able to check on your car, and we want to be able to check in on our parts to make sure everything goes smoothly and you end up with a car that represents Speedriven in the best light possible. At the end of the day, we both want you to have a smooth, reliable, beast of a Benz, you know?

Worst case, I'd point you to our dealer in Sarasota.

Very close: the manifold and housings are all re-machined, and the manifolds are ceramic-coated. There are a few other components as well, that allow us to have greater control over the higher boost the upgrade turbos are capable of.

Where's the dyno's You never got back to me on your other thread on JUST the upgraded turbo's w/billet wheels, how much RWHP & RWTQ?

If NONE have dyno'd yet? How bout a simpler request, what MAX PSI will we be able to run w/the..

A) Just upgraded Turbo's?

B) The full list of mods above in your OP?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aren't these kits going to need additional FULL EXHAUST IE Hi-Flo or NO cats, & full 3" straight pipes + possible X-H-Pipe work & IC reservoir in trunk to obtain 800+HP & is this BHP or 800 rwhp?

As you list Soulsearchers completely 1-off Larger Turbo's & actual 1-Off Headers makes 750+ rwhp though ONLY @ 20 PSI on DD it's clearly capable of 800+ @ rear wheels on either a DJ or running more PSI.

Marko's CL65 w/original VRP kit & STOCK Turbo's made 692 RWHP @ 30 odd PSI..

PLEASE explain the innate differences here in a more detailed technical fashion that shows WHAT exactly these NEW PARTS ALONE will make on either 600/65 V12tt's Thank you!

(after my Widebody build is complete I'm VERY INTERESTED IN PURCHASING @ least the NEW re-worked Turbo's... Thank you for your time )

Lastly
$14480 USD for parts & About 24 hours for install, depending on the car (if it needs additional service, etc.). $17K total is a safe bet.
$2520.00 for TOTAL INSTALL

Guys should be made aware that if NOT installed by SPEEDRIVEN, I couldn't find (1) either Indy-Perf-shop or Dealership willing to install (JUST THE UPGRADED Turbo's/Manifolds) IE drop the entire motor etc.. FOR LESS THAN $4500-$5500 USD

**NOT including the CAI & New Intercooler + additional hardware/piping etc install**

Is the stock fuel system capable for this? and is that 800 supposed to be power on 65 or 600's?

Yo! another excellent question! As far as I know the fuel injectors/etc.. will definitely need upgrading too, to achieve MAX HP/TQ

Does this mean that the Turbine wheels are upgraded too ?

Hi, guys - we got snowed in big time and we're still trying to get to the dyno this week for fresh runs on a cat-equipped, pump-gas car. More soon.

$20 grand thereabouts or just under is a competitive deal for this package...for that kind of power any v12 MB guy (** cough cough BOR are you listening **) can mod their car at a fraction of the cost of what it takes to get into a used SL65 BS ....and to have more power and torques than that car...just amazing

That's the idea. Keep in mind: that's less than $20k, including labor and transport.

HA! Spending my money already, huh?

You've met my wife. Do you think there's any way I'd be able to drop 20K on this, without dropping 20K on her first?

This is a $40,000.00 upgrade, no matter how you slice it, if you're married.
