I've located source in houston that can make a complete single turbo kit for the cls.
Costing about 8 large..... Will have more info after I make a trip down this weekend.If anyone is interested let me know,Ican maybe ask for a group buy discount.

 

HELL YES!!!!!

I live 30 minutes north fo houston, count me in, i will have to do research and see what type of procedure and setup it has and how easy it is to install and if compatable with other stuff...you know the usally stuff

8 grand, hmmmmmm will if the HP and the Torque is in the range i want it, i'll go for it, need to compare to comptach supercharger first prices and specs one next to the other

silver: now you have something to help you carry your 200+ LB sound system

great job on finding a maker

Good Luck...You must really love your CLS.

 

First of all if you want speed that bad buy a performance car! (you crazy fockers.

Second i doubt a turbo would work witout changin the engine internals...our compression is too damn high to start wit...you would need to run racing gas to get 8k worth of performance out of it. I hope the kit just doesnt include the turbo.

 

Yuppers.. wuld need at least a tranny rebuild, and reduce compression to 9-9.5 rather then 10.5 if you like your spark plugz sitting in the thread and not meted into your cylinders... and detonasion is not to great either trying to turbo with more the 6-8lbs of boos when the motor is already pushing 10.5 lbs . Wuld need tranny rebuild, low compression rings or spacer gaskets raisng the heads, pluz new fuel rail and prolly injectors too depending on duty cycle utilized

Sorry i didn't mention, but the kits includes things like a tranny rebuild, a re maped computer, and having the comprsion lowerd. As for horsepower its all on you. You can get 100-200+. How much engine work are you willing to do. A guy in houston is doing 11's with a stock gsr motor, a turbo kit , and a computer. If you add it up 7500-8000 isnt that bad

 

Is this possible with a Stock CL J32A engine??

What type of operation does this guy in houston run....what about warrenty or gurantees???Where in houston is he located?

You can't get all that work done for that money and the exhaust manifold alone to combine two exhaust flows efficiently to a single turbo would be a g-note minimum. Trans work...not cheap...A turbo that would add 200+ HP would run 15+ PSI and forged pistons are required for that. You can't use forged slugs because the cylinder liners are carbon fiber impregnated and makes them incompatible with forgings (Prelude owners on boost know). Then those slugs will need new rods to carry that extreme cylinder pressure. Seeing how these rods aren't produced by anyone yet, and would cost a G-note a set of 6, the 8000.00 mark looks hard. Plus, the large turbo will need an external wastegate system plumbed in, with a boost controller, larger injectors (N/A yet), an FMU, and an SFC plus a MAP ckt defeater.

Just the opinion of someone who doesn't know much, but keeps trying.

 

thank you doug for the internal knowledge of this turbo, that is one field i must say i am not to familer with as in engine mechanics.....thank you.
