https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-new-post.html Strange days indeed.

 

so eurocharged , in one comment , can we sum up the ideas we have going here for a turbo set u? from my understanding , the hardware wouldnt bee too hard to hash out , the crossfire should have enough room for tubing etc. if i get this correctly theissue is the ecu responding to boost , and we cant simply use an srt ecu am i correct? not that they would be easy to come by . and there was the idea of a piggy back ecu mapped for boost, is this something you guys could build? i mean if you can reprogram my car from texas . im sure this can be worked haha. but what are the major ideas you guys are jumbling around in the eurocharged skunkworks , if theres is a viable idea i think there is room here and people here to get something going! just my thoughts though , i know its not easy , i know its 9 years of not being easy. so no pressure

 

I just want to know will there ever be a turbo for the crossfire. Exactly I want to know will there be a turbo for SRT6. I would love to be twincharged then NOS. I will buy another daily driver. The SRT will be the weekend and summer cruising car.

 

Eurocharged has already made a twin charged SRT. It wasn't cheap from what I heard.

 

No. They have not. Aero Blue is turbo only. They eliminated the supercharger. ImportLabSRT is on here. I was interested in buying it but its not a daily driver. There's only one twincharger Eric. Buckhead Import in AtL did it and had probs too.

 

You will have to use the SRT or 32 amg ECU. You could use a piggyback if you don't require smog but that is not a "factory setup" that most are looking for.

 

When we were making guesses about the HP that would be gained from the turbo mod I said none would be gained on tighed1's car.
I am the out and out winner so far but I was scoffed at when I made the prediction.

I think I win by default, two years is too long.

 

Mmm interesting. . Would a piggy back system have any issues passing a regular state inspection here in Texas ? we dont have smog testing but we do have emissions testing here in the county that I reside in.

 

I think you are the winner as well. I just wish DJ would come let us know what actually happened, but that will probably never happen...

We don't have testing here, but aren't emissions and smog tests the same thing?

 

Guess "non disclosure" was part of the settlement..

 

Per below, I agree. Isn't it the same thing??? Personally my car would have been done long ago with a piggyback or full aftermarket ECU but then you're bypassing the engineering. I also feel that Mercedes knows more about running the engine the way it should be ran, than I do... You would spend tons of time to work out every little kink and flaw, all to get it where it would have been in the first place or just slightly better. Good luck getting a good base quality tune too, because you will be looking at dyno time with someone that knows the software for your piggyback to make the necessary adjustments.

All in all, you could, but would you really want to? Just go with a SRT or 32 amg ECU. If Eurocharged really has made one before then they could give you a good base map in their sleep. I would still buy monitoring to make sure all is well but that for me is a given in the first place. I'm going to do that to mine and it's an NA, aka pointless to monitor lol.

^^ exactly what I was thinking lol.

 

But,but I changed my guess to yours a long time ago. However, to be fair I do believe you are the out and out winner and had the foresight to see what was coming, have the bragging rights. Congratulations !!

 

They still have my money.. so it's not "Game Over" yet!

 

I see where Begi was on Facebook today and updated some photos, but not of our Crossfire project.
Wonder where the answers and pictures are for the Crossfire folks the invested in his project. Guess it's a question of priorities, now he has our money,we don't seem to matter so much anymore. Hell of a way to do business.

 

so was I just now..went ballistic and probably will be banned from the page

 

On Aug 14 I posted the following question at the BEGi Facebook page - "Any new info on your Crossfire kit? The photos from April are stale & there's quite a few people waiting to hear a turbo'd motor running...."

A few minutes ago I got a response - "Thanks for your message Chris. I think something is in the works. Stay posted."

Only took a month.....

 

HERE'S MY RANT.. AT LEAST I GOT SOMEONES ATTENTION!
