The lads at Carobu Engineering are about to hit the engine dyno again with their own US Spec 560 test mule engine
https://www.facebook.com/pg/Carobuengineering/posts/?ref=page_internal
Their engine has just had the heads freshly re-furbed and new guides etc after they realised the valve guides were worn and the heads needed pulling after the last session on the dyno with the US spec factory exhaust complete bolted up (the whole exhaust right to rear muffler tip was removed from the car and dragged into the engine room and bolted up for testing if you scan down to their older FB posts showing the dyno read-outs as well
This time they have bolted up some AMG spec headers to see how they will perform
This R&D testing is to continue in phases as they work there way through various mods to see what will waken up the engine including swapping in 300hp cams i provided until they design their own cam and it will include mods they want to carry out in due course on the 560 intake to see if they can improve that intake without having to go to the expense a custom designed intake.
I think all of us will be able to closely follow this and enjoy the ride.
End result is they wish to come up with solutions for M117 owners with proven research on an engine dyno to back it all up
That last 560 engine they rebuilt was a full custom job with forged pistons and rods and EFI conversion using a highly modified D-Jet intake and custom AMG spec cams etc so that was an expensive build in the below link
