slick_430

Hey everyone, had a few quick questions if anyone here knows the answers. First off, I've got a 00 clk430 that's pretty clean, but it just doesn't have enough juice for me.

I'm looking at picking up a e55 kompressor engine, and doing the swap but there are a few questions I couldn't find the answer to.

I'm concerned about the ecu swap, and whether it's even possible. I've read that they are two different operating systems, and I'm not sure about the compatibility of the instrument cluster with the e55 ecu.

Also, since there are very few aftermarket parts available, I'd like to swap the e55k transmission in as well, but not sure if I will be able to keep the traction control. Anyone know if it's compatible?

Any other input would be appreciated, I'm fairly content on doing this swap, but if the answer to these questions is 'no' I'll probably just put a haltech ecu system in and am emulator to make the 430 ecu think the 430 is still in there, running just like it should.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Austin.

Welcome aboard Austin..,

congrat., CLK430 is a such a NICE bride,

this is W202 C36/C43 section, you have to go with W208 section:

BTW; if you interesting for M113K swapping, i suggest to read a thread of our great friend kaype, (Fabian), he did that swap on his W210 E55T,

it's soo useful thread, and may helps to follow his instructions:

Are you ME2.0?

ME2.8 ECU from E55k may not communicate with your ESP?, you may need to change ESP and all sensors.

I believe you may have trouble with ME2.8 data to all other modules suitable for ME2.0, Many body modules update with ME2.8.

Then there's the issue with your driver authorisation, if swapped it may not recognize OCP,lower control panels, Door control modules..

Cheers,
