Hello Boys,
I would like to join your conversation because i think I can tune up this upgrade/conversion from mercedes v6 to v8 engine.
I'm now upgrading my automatic 2003 CLK 240 (v6-2.6l-177hp - 125kw) to a 2003 V8 55AMG taken from another CLK whitch i bought 2 weeks ago with automatic speedshift gearbox and ECU.

So, I'm facing same difficulties than our freind Lantana, but I have nice Knowledge of Mercedes Benz and Bosch Electronics and chiptuning.

Normally, the mechanical part of my project will be done on the end of the week, then I will do the second part which is Electronics and programming.

I'm going to take a pics and show you how to do in order to bypass simply the immo, I have a bosch ME2.8 ECU like Lantana's ECU.

The simple way is to desolder eprom which contains immo data from Original ECU then solder Eprom to the newest (donor ECU). So Lantana dont have to make thousand of kilometers to go to Dallas, he can do this by an electronic reparator at his own town.

Then after my car carnks and start, i will set up a V8 supercharger that i bought a couple of months ago taken from a CL 55 AMG Kompressor.

Lantana: I have STAR Diagnostic, flash programmer ... all we need to do electronics work.

I can Help you, we will see how to handle that. Have you the opportunity to send bin file extarcted from your ECU's etc...

Hearing from U Guys.
