Me too my friend! I think it will be more in car audio upgrades and soundproofing. Then back to the engine... Port/polish cylinder head and custom headers with high-flow primaries most likely

Would anyone happen to know whether the crank, rods and pistons in the M113 N/A and M113K are equal in spec? As far as I'm aware, the N/A's only forged parts are the split rods? I assume the M113K has everything forged?

I'm only asking in preparing for the S/C upgrade on my N/A M113...

Also, an update about my header modification. I found a race build garage in my city who have agreed to fabricate a fully custom hot shot long-tube header system for my car Upgrade and video coming soon!

Stock clusters and glass but with Bosch HID 4000K Xenon kits installed. The fog lamps with throw up a fault unless you install resistors to compensate for the altered voltage, but all in all, a very easy modification!

The kits are easily found and readily available on eBay. I hope this answers your question thoroughly enough?

Different pistons in the E55k - lower compression. The E55k pistons are cast.

Thank you for the reply BlownV8! So to your knowledge the only difference the M113K has from the M113 is the K has cast/low comp pistons rater than the forged standard comp ones? Ijust want to be sure, so I know whether it's going to be worth me changing my N/A pistons for the S/C upgrade...

Do a little more research. Not sure if the rods are the same.

I'm seeing a Mercedes engineer tomorrow, he's got over 20 years with the Marque, so I'll get the specifics from him. Really appreciate your input though!

They arrived last week some time, but I've only just had the chance to visit the shop who imported them and will now be installing them. These are the first set to officially hit the UAE, and they will be dropping into the ports of the customised/braced/soundproofed OE E55 rear shelf Read more about them here >>> http://www.ddaudio.com/products/mobi...o/woofers/sw65 <<<

I'm really surprised they've found a torque converter drain plug on your car! I thought for models 2000 and up they didn't make a drain plug anymore for the TQ...

I guess you thought wrong, because there it is, right in front of our very eyes

And Zayed delivers again! He's the guy you need to know when owning this car. He probably knows every nut and bolt on this car!

So that explains it! I know my car left the factory in Oct/2000, so it must have been one of the last factory builds with the drain plug fitted And Zayed, we must look after our loved ones! I mean my E55 (don't tell my woman I said that) Lol

I agree Neanicu888. He's always got the answers to the most unlikely of questions!

I don't know how many W210 E55 AMG owners have experienced perished bodykit seals, but I have, and had mine replaced this morning. The devil is in the detail, as they say

Thanks Zayed! I'll be starting parties in the middle of rush-hour traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road soon Lol

Although, on testing and setting up the sound, we did find the amplifier has a fault on the two rear full range channels :roll eyes: We will be swapping it for a new one as soon as I get word of it being delivered to the shop in Abu Dhabi

Custom headers and a remap next
