Was just wondering the same. And how is it driven?

"This very high performace forced induction supercharger which is hand built in germany stuttgart can also be used in project cars but it is hard to do. In the berkshire region i am confidant that it works i would even fit it for £500. "

Fit it to what?

The only thing it`s suitable to be fitted to is the car from which it came...

The blower is only one part of the system - think of all the dozens of other parts that a supercharged AMG has that a "normal" V8 does not.Air ducts,MAF sensors,ECU,intercooler etc etc....The intercooler alone would be more than the £500 he says he can fit it for.And then the engine itself,a blown AMG probably has uprated crank,rods pistons......

Its not simply a bolt-on Max-Power accessory....

Someone always comes along and brings bad news

I guess thats why the real blower upgrades go for silly money £10k+

Hang on a mo, where's the intercooler go? I know naff all about superchargers but it appears to bolt directly on to the, or rather in place of the inlet manifold?

Hmmmmmmm, no I think I definitely know naff all about plumbing these things in.

Still, how wrong can things go?!

And another thing - either the guy's got a can of Mr Super Muscle or that thing hasn't actually seen the dirty side of a car bonnet - looks brand new.

Under the radiator at the front.

Not all superchargers need 'intercoolers' (heat exchangers) - some have them built in as well - the Kleeman unit IS literally a bolt on; add a pulley and plumb it in, remap the ECU but otherwise that's about it.

Realist ,maybe....

It could be done,anything is possible but it would be a huuuge job - and very expensive.

Go on - have a punt on it.Just get it in writing that the seller can fit it to your car for £500 (and working!!) or your money back.....

SG CL500 · 02-11-2005, 07:32 PM

lol - love to try to call in on that promise!

still - must work out cheaper than kleeman ...

As he states it's for a CL55 I presume the £500 fitting is for that car so really wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah,that was my original point - its only really a viable proposition to be fitted back into another CL55.

Now,i wonder how many CL55`s there are at the moment that need a supercharger..........

It can be fitted to any M113 based V8 engine - though obviously less modification is required for the NA 5.5l.

And here's a picture of that supercharger (not that exact one) in a W208 CLK55
