- mount water cooler and water pump for supercharger intercooler
- keep original ECU but change fuel MAP inside to get correct air/fuel ratio (around 11:1) cause injectors aren't same and air intake is greater, first i had a smoke because the mixture was too rich.
- Supercharger clutch and water pump are plugged to direct 12 DC after ignition on, because i didn't find ME2.8 ecu file dump of c32 amg komp neither from crossfire srt-6.
- mount new belt same as c32 k, and cut two teeth from it, because it's 8 teeth belt, and pulleys on my engine are just 6.

To change ECU fuel map, I used ECM2001 software, desolder the AMD 29F400BB 44pin microcontroller, remap it using GALEP5 microchip programmer and re-solder it into the ECU.

Wating for tomorrow morning like baby waits for his gifts
Tomorrow i'll have my wiring harness and continue the story ..

So let me get this straight.... You started with a V6, then added a supercharger. That wasn't fast enough, so now you are adding a V8 and then you are going to add a supercharger to the V8? And the V6 ran good? We have a guy on here that swapped a C32/SRT-6/SLK32 engine into his normally aspirated Crossfire. He ended up using an Aftermarket ECU for his track only Crossfire. If you can make all this stuff work, someone here needs to just give you a Crossfire or at least make you an honorary CICCI member!! Keep us posted on the V8 and post some pictures when you get chance. I have rotor and pads on the way to use with my MB Brembo calipers, and changed out the shocks tonight. After that all atention goes to my V8. Since my main worry is the ECU, I hope to be right behind you on getting this running. Once my car runs like it came with the V8, I will be looking to add a turbo or supercharger. Adding the MB V8 superchaerger to the CL500 engine might be nice if it can be made to run.

I will open both ECU's and take some pictures this weekend. I did this once before and they looked identical.
