LMAO!! That is funny. i have had a couple of people wonder how the hell did I get a Mercedes engine into a Chrysler.

 

Great video, thanks for sharing, that's one sweet sounding Crossfire! If any one out there is thinking of an Christmas present for Lantana—a gift card to Discount Tires would be appropriate, he's going to need it!

 

Actually what I really want for Christmas is a replacement red emblem for the front of my car. The back looks great but I screwed up the front one when I was installing it.

 

I bet that guy with the LSU cap that came over at Saturday's GTG was thinking the same thing when he said "YOU DID THAT???" LOL

 

It's the season of giving... I'll throw them in in the mail today on one condition, I get a ride in that wicked beast someday. Merry Christmas Lantana!
Cheers - H82BL8

 

DEAL!! But I only need the front one. Thank you!

 

There is a local car show weekend after next that I will attend weather permitting. It will be interesting to see what kind of responses I get.

 

Be sure to follow along in the next chapter of this history making Crossfire:
V8 Turbo Diary

 

Front emblem in the mail Lantana! I wish you luck with your next epic post (V8 Turbo Diary). This ones been a fun read.

 

Hi Lantana,

are you interested of remapping transmission TCU and changing for pad steering wheel: speedshift transmission.

if your TCU is siemens EGS52, you can reprprogam it, i"ve already done it on my MB CLK 209 ! It works great !

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT ?

Karim.

 

If you are talking about paddle shift steering wheel, YES I want one!

 

I'd love to find more out about this too since I'm sitting on a steering wheel that would love to have some paddles dropped in and put into the car!

 

Iwill post TCU EGS52 flashing procedure as I did to swap transmission from "Tiptronic" to "Speedshift".
I ordered an AMG steering wheel with paddles and waiting for delivery, then I can post you how to do plugging poaddle wires.

 

Great Karim!

When I go into DAS - Electronic modules - Transmission, it says "transmission is programable"

 

HI LANTANA,

That means your crossfire is got the EGS52 TCU.
TCU have an Eprom/ flash AMD 29F400BB which is same eprom as your ME2.8 Ecu. So yoy have just to desolder it and burn it with TCU Bin File which I can send it to you by PM, this file is from Mercedes-Benz W211 E 55 AMG Kompressor.
This is what I did to my original TCU, it woks great, you can see it on my videos, it change gear near 7000 rpm.

I noticed, that the cluch of my Kompressor in never on, that mean that the power I have wright now is just with atmospheric engine nearly 376HP.
I have to fix it, can you help me on wiring that stuff, caus you wire well your crossfire :-)
I have to plug the 4 O2 sensors to ECU, to turn off check engine light i always have on dash.

I did not work on the car since months, now I'm back espacially that new RIEGER bodykit and new white color painting is going to be finished (about two months for painting).

You can find attached photos of TCU stuff, hope this share helps you ;-)

 

this thread isn't going to end yet....lol

 

I tried to find this out by looking back in some of your other threads but are you running a kompressor ecu or just the N/A ecu? If you're running the kompressor ecu, you just need to find out if the RCM has the correct wire going out to the SC clutch. PM me if you have any other questions and I'll look over the manuals and see what I can find.

 

Karim, Thanks for the info,

Rcompart is a great resource for some of your questions. I thought you have a normally aspirated 55 which you have added the 55 supercharger. i thought you also used the n/a 55 ECU and are running the 55K engine program. If you used varient coding to select 55k and are using the 55K harness and correct sensors you should be fine as long as you are also running a smaller pulley to cut down on the boost since 11.0:1 compression will not take the regular boost levels of the Compressor. RCompart has experience adding a supercharger to a na engine and can help as well. I have seen people add a super charger and have to set the clutch up to be on all the time.

 

I run E55 AMG Kompressor ECU, when ordered 55 K harness, it comes without 2 pins kompressor clutch connector. I m little happy because I thought i have full power, and after knowing kompressor is always off, i wonder what is 130 HP more !

Now I have time to fix that, will see running without check engine light and all stuff work 100% wright way.

I have pinout from WIS and ALLDATA and all info needed but pics and more info is welcome.

Thanks for rcompart info, but in which thread he talks about Kompressor wiring please?

 

Thank you!!! I hope you noticed your beautiful emblem in the video and pictures from last weekend.
