i wunder if the 113986 AMG engine cover fits our 4.3/5.5 engines without any fitting modifications?

the stock AMG engine cover with rear airfilter compartment looks somehow cheap and dull to me!
i would like to fit a nicer looking engine cover from w220 S55AMG.

wudd C43 airfilter/airmass sensor fit the 113986 airfilter/airmass sensor compartment?

wudd C43 2x side air hoses be long enuff to connect to this 113986 engine cover?

thanks

It will fit Dennis, but you may need to relocate or little bit bend fuel hose, and it may touch the A/C main hose, which easy to move it little bit far..!

C43 air box tubes got a differ shape(from the end, that attached to the airbox), and they cannot be used in any other M113 air boxes..!!,

you can cut your stock tubes, then joined them with 3" air duct, to that S55 air box..

ZAYED,,

thanks for the info bro
it seems to be too much of a work to do this mod.
if i have to cut and bend stuff, i won't do this.
just wanted some info if it was an easy job?

thanks anyway

No Dennis, it's soo simple,

any M112/M113 air box can be interchangeable to each other, the main difference in Engine bay on each specific chassis,,

i tried many M112/M113 in "C43/W208 CLK55/W210 E55/R129 SL500", their air boxes fit to each other, just simple work will make it fit properly..!

do you think there will be any improvment with airflow from a different airbox such as the w220 AMG box?

cm60k

No, i don't think so bro.,

unless if you go with 55K air boxes, IMO; they are the best air box for any M112/M113..

ZAYED,,

KJI3jflarryfe93

are 55K boxes plug n play or do I need to modify them to fit properly?
thanks bro

It's NOT plug & play, and not that much mod. to fit them, just a minor job,,

IMO; it's great to go with..

ZAYED,,

KJI3jflarryfe93

see if i can find a box in good clean condition

thanks

Any Time Dennis,

also, you have considering about the shape, you may like the shape of stock 1-piece Box,,

that definitely depend of your choice..

Zayed, is this the 55K air boxes? If so, I like the siamese intake at the throttle body

cm60k

Yeah sure, it's 55K intake,,

Siamese>>

ZAYED,,

KJI3jflarryfe93

ok, now i know which one it is
these are no prob to fit on our engines?

cm60k

I used them on my previous silver C43 for about "3" years, they are one of great intake mod..

ZAYED,,

the newer side 2x filters setup must be a vast improvement VS our stock airbox?
stock box sits ontop the engine absorbing lots of heat into the engine.
the newer 55K setup sits on both sides, this must give more cold airflow and probably some better performance?

cm60k

Good input Dennis,

Honestly; i didn't dyno the car, but as you said; these 2 boxes are actually

running against the side of the manifold which would appear to be more effective that will feeding cooler air,,

but stock airbox or even RENNtech airbox is sit right over the top of the intake manifold (which get very hot, so imagine where that heat is going)...!!

ZAYED,,

KJI3jflarryfe93

yeahhhhhhhhhh, everything's a compromise when it comes to hot rodding a car's performance

INDEEEEEEED..

good info with all the pictures!

perhaps i should have added this box also to gain the extra 6hp to get to 400hp sharp.
