Just wanted to say hello to the members of the forum. We are a finally an official vendor here on the Crossfire Form .


For those of you who don't know much about us we are a performance, service, and tuning shop located in Plainfield, IL.

We specialize in Mercedes, BMW, and AUDI in addition to the Crossfire along with pretty much all Euro and Import vehicles.We plan on bringing you some of the top performing software and performance parts available on the market and some that are Eurocharged exclusive including the only know turbocharged SRT6.

You can check us out here www.eurocharged.com

What we are doing / how did we get here?

Eurocharged Performance acquired the inventory / rights to most LET Motorsports products. LET made the decision to focus on software, leaving the crucial hardware development to Eurocharged. LET Motorsports and Eurocharged share the same building, ideas, goals, and we spend a huge amount of time co-developing products to benefit the consumer. LET Motorsports is our dedicated in-house tuner. Together, we have the ability to tune most European vehicles and provide high quality, affordable aftermarket parts to complement one another.

We bring a lot of knowledge and know how to the Mercedes, BMW, and AUDI communities. We offer a wide variety of parts that are currently in production along with parts that are ready to go and tunes with extensive testing on the dyno, street, and track that outperform the competitor.

Please let me know if there are any products that you guys are looking for. And if you have any questions
Sales@eurocharged.com

 

Do you have a kit like tvt's 265 kit if so some prices would be great

 

We do not have a kit as of now but we have done the same setup and the car made great power

 

Glad to see it is official

And I do think it would be a great idea if you could 'bundle' some of your products and services. I think it would make it more economical to the enthusiast and make your per sale invoice much higher - a win/win in my book.

Just my 0.02.

 

Glad to see ya as an official vendor here.
Also glad you are only 12 miles from my house.
It's about time for another open house/ Dyno day at the shop !!

A few pics from the last open house.....Eurocharged Open House

 

You'd better believe the guys are all up for another dyno day whenever you would like. This month the held one for CSC (Chicagoland SRT Club) and even invited some of our favorite models from HIN. Whoever would like to set this up should email greg@eurocharged.com and it can be organized in a few weeks. I know they want to have at least one a month either as an open style for any/all vehicles or any clubs that want to use the dyno.

I would set it up, but I am leaving tomorrow for NJ tomorrow.

As everyone knows the guys will bend over backwards to get you guys what you want.

 

what kind of numbers are you pulling out of an na xfire with your mods thanks

 

I believe that the last time Franc Rausher drove up to Eurocharged from St. Louis he made 193hp on his crossfire with a Eurocharged/LET tune among other things...

For you dynojet fans that is about 228rwhp on a dynojet or about 268 crank hp...ish.

He can post up and confirm those N/A numbers. I am not sure what all he has modification wise.

 

That would be great to know what all he did thats right about where i want to be at with mine

 

Depending on how you do the numbers it is 273 or 293 HP. One is bases on the 215 HP stock at crank as advertised by Chrysler. The other is based on the fact that the SLK is touted at 229 HP stock.

Wheel HP was 154, is now 193.5. Per the Dyno. (Thanks Tony)

Basicaly a 26% increase over 229 is 288+ HP

All my Mods are from Eurocharged. Aluminum 3" CAI into the standard throttlebody, one K&N filter mounted in the right front fender box. Also, 19 lb injectors, new NK plugs, back Cat deletes and a dyno tune.
Rev limiter was adjusted up for 6800 rpm's in 1st,2nd, 3rd gear. 6300 in 4th, 5th, 6th.

The car is on fire. My manual shifter seems perfectly calibrated to the power band. I can burn in first, scratch in second and chirp third. Do not as yet have 1/4 mile times but would conservatively guess high 13's.

Not an SRT but the wider RPM range and the extra torque lets me give Cathy's SRT a good test. We have a 1/4 mile entrance ramp we use daily to go home together. It is always race day. She used to beat me by 4 or 5 lengths, now only two.
She is 400HP at the crank.

Either my engine is stronger, or I'm shifting way way better, or Cathy is being kind. I doubt the latter.

One more bonus. Fuel consumption went from 27.5 MPG to 29.5 MPG. Even though I now drive like an idiot. Just can't help it. Car refuses to be sedate.

Like I said, it's on fire.

Thanks Eurocharged.

I didn't see any injectors or a cai on your web site I am probably just looking over them but could I get some prices on those thanks

 

You guys have any plans for a supercharger or turbo for the n/a crossfire? I love the blower I put on my VR6 (VW) and would be interested in something similar for the crossfire.

 

I do not mean to speak for the team at Eurocharged. But they have been discussing a twin turbo design for my NA. Plans were too do it this fall after the Dragon.
However, two things have come up for me that may put this project on hold. One is that I will be too busy this fall with other projects and secondly, they have done so much to the engine so far that I am quite satisfied with the performance.

At least for now.

That said, the concept they proposed was exciting and would most certainly amplify the power of the NA into the mid 300 HP range. Worth a serious look by anyone wishing to turn their NA into a mean sleeper.

As a very satisfied customer, I would highly recommend the team at Eurocharged for such an ambitious project. Had I another XFire, say an '04 coupe I bought right, I would be talking to Jake about a serious challenge for a low 12 second car. Or better.

I truly believe an $8 or $9K 6 spd with the twin Turbo setup would bring SRT performance in for under $17K.

We are definitely having another dyno day before the cold sets in

 

We are still updating the site if you need pricing pm me

 

You can buy an SRT6 for $17k and have the bulletproof engine and tranny to go with it. However, I was impressed reading the mods to and dyno test for your n/a. If only I wasn't committed to keeping it stock and running it indefinitely, I would be interested in tweaking it. Maybe I'll pick up another one in a few years, when they sell for $8-10k.

 

You are right , of course, to suggest the SRT for $17K. Sadly,not that many around for sale, much less at that price. Consider, there are on 3,000 or so SRT's to begin with. And the atrition rate is high. I suspect they will bottom out at the $15K-$17 range very soon and are currently there because of the economy.

Here's the rub;
There are some 67,000 NA's out there and many are a bargain under $10K.

Then these two points;
1) there is a limit to the number of SRTs and they are a very complicated engine. In contrast, the turbo is simple and lasts longer.
2) you still can't get an SRT with a manual tranny.

I believe the auto stick is the same on the SRT as the NA.

The potential for the turbo is very high in HP, Torque and it is a simpler, more reliable system.

I have too much going on right now. Got to hold back some cash for when the cr@p hits the ventilator. Or to take advantage of an opportunity for the company. Currently, the banks won't loan it, so one has to work with their own cash.

Otherwise, I would find an 04' coupe, 6 spd, and give it to Eurocharged with instructions to call me when they get 350HP out of it or hit $ 17K total on the project (car and Mods) budget.

BTW, it would have to be Aero Blue 'cause they are the fastest.

 

All good points, Frank. But how do you know that a turbo system is more reliable than a supercharger? I also run an Audi A6 2.7T with bi-turbos and live in mild fear of losing a turbo to wear/tear. I have 144k on the car. It's always been maintained and driven mostly highway, but just replacing the stock turbos is a couple thousand and going stage 3 (larger turbos, fuel injectors, etc) will set me back $5-8k. I've read that a replacement s/c for the SRT6 is over $6k.

I agree that the market for low mileage SRT6s probably ended last year. That's why I went looking in Jan 08 and bought mine. They're still out there, but finding one that is stock, 1-2 owners, and has not been abused is going to get harder.

 

Huh, that's an interesting idea and really do hope both you and eurocharged can come together and make something happen. I can't help but wonder however, if a centrifugal charger wouldn't be much easier. Some of us want crazy hp and some of us want something more streetable and less of a fuss. I would really like to see someone develop a centrifugal kit for these cars---I've said this in multiple other threads. You won't get the same increase in hp/tq as a turbo but the installation and day to day life with them is much easier. Plus a centrifugal blower is the most efficient of superchargers

Just make a bracket and adjust the intake plumbing and you're all set--after tuning of course. I have a centrifugal blower on my corrado and it doesn't give the same power returns as a turbo, but I've had it for 6 years and never had to play with it. I've had it at ~9-10 track days including one I went to last friday and it worked awesome. I'm up 100hp over stock. And, if you go with a rotrex charger, like the BMW guys, you don't have to worry about taping the oil system of the car since they are self contained.

If I could get such a setup with say 8psi for 6-7k, then I'd be game. If only my car wasn't a daily driver with a warranty, I'd see if I could make something like this happen on my own car.

 

Hell, I'm up a 100hp over my stock SRT6 numbers and I (like everyone) still have my stock blower on.

should be good times either way...
