Need Advice on Adding More Power to HPS SC
Something else is going on with the tranny, it should hold 600 HP plus.
Car should dyno by simply turning ESP button off. Again something else is wrong with the setup, DME does not like it.
Vadim,
I have alot respect for you but don't know why you turned on me with your last post and I didn't feel the need to response to any posts anymore.. But anyway, i was there so far with every dyno sessions. I saw everything. This is my last response regarding to the dyno tuned until we are sastifaction with the result. Anyway, what you said might be true with your set-up and tuning but not true with our set-up.
"It should hold 600 hp plus and car should dyno by simply turning the ESP button off"..........Oh Really, some true to your statement. Another word, if the car came with "dyno mode" feature from factory, then you must turn that feature off to get the full benefit of the dyno run. At 380 RWHP and a much higher torque number, this will definately effect the out come of the dyno result number if you don't turn the dyno mode feature off, would you agree? your buddy Cory at Kleemann will simply disagreed with you with some cars !!! Just click on the link..........

I agreed so let talk about this (only if you dare)..................i thought Kleemann car are alway perfect, this is the 2 cars with problem this month.
[QUOTE=JR1]Just Had My First Dyno on a CLS 55 After Kleemann K4 Installed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I went to the dyno today to check out what kind of power the car was really putting down. I know that my butt meter is pretty accurate, but I needed some real confirmation to make sure. The dyno shop that was closest to me isn't really familiar with Mercedes, but they seemed knowledgeable about the whole dyno process. After strapping the car down, and getting everything set-up I finally got some good hard numbers, but they were very disappointing. I had a best of 464.51rwhp & 533.73rwtq
I called up Cory at Kleemann right away after I got back home and we were trying to figure out the problem. After a good talk with him he realized that I never put the car in Dyno Mode and it was applying the rear brakes the entire time. Now I feel like a total and the guys at the dyno had no idea that the car even had a dyno mode. So tomorrow I'll be going back to the Dyno again to try and put down some better numbers. I'll keep everyone updated once I redyno. Does anyone know the difference that the car will make in dyno mode vs. just TC turned off? Any guesses as to what the power will be at?

[QUOTE=JR1] Well I just got back from the dyno again. I wish I had some good news but I don't. I put the car in dyno mode expecting it to make a huge difference but I was wrong. I actually lost a little bit of hp and tq compared to yesterday not in dyno mode. I already talked to Cory at Kleemann and he says that it is running way to rich and I should be at around 12-12.5 and I'm at 10.05 on the top end so there is quite a bit more power to be made still. It was really disappointing not to have anymore gains after putting it in dyno mode, but I guess I'll just have to wait until Wed. or Thur. next week to get it redynoed. Hopefully I'll pick up alot more power then. I was expecting atleast 520+ at the wheels. I'll keep everyone updated when I get back to the dyno. Also, if the car feels this strong now, I can't wait to see what is will be like with an extra 50-70 more rwhp

[QUOTE=JR1] I would assume that it is the latest ECU program since it was only done a 2-1/2 weeks ago. I have no idea where to get 100+ octane around me, so i guess 93 will have to do. Yes, I am running the Kleemann Cams in the car. Currently the parts that are on the car are: K. Pulley, K. Headers and Downpipe, K&N Air Filters, K. Cams, K. Throttle Body, and K. ECU tuning.
I'm not really that worried about the car making the power that they claim because I feel like they are going to make sure that they do what they have to so it does. Cory and Brandon both seem very helpful when dealing with them, but I just disappointed that he told me it may take 2-3 more trys to get it dialed in. I understand that not having them do it in their shop can be difficult, but I just hate the down time. I just want to get the car out and drive it!! QUOTE]
[QUOTE=JR1] 520 at the wheels would be around 650 horse with 19% loss per Klee.
I just don't know.....K2 cars are coming in at 585-600, K3 adds another 15, that's a ways to go to make 650.

JR1 you are so busy giving everyone advice you never follow your own advice...
at least you are entertaining. Btw i hope your issues with the Kleemann gear get sorted.

Now, that you made your bed, you need to sleep in it!
Sorry, bu the answer is NO.
Dyno mode is for emission testing. If everything is OK with the car, simply turning off ESP button will allow you to run it on the dyno.
Speaking of dynos, where is yours???
Lynn, do you own a dyno? Have you run cars on the dyno????

Vadim,
I don't know my name can spell in 3 difference way...lol. No dyno. Yes, i personally dyno my Slk (countless times), Clk (one time) and CL 55 (one time).
I'm not saying you're totally wrong about the dyno mode. I'm just saying if the car have that dyno, then you need to turn it off (after all it is called dyno mode) just like Cory from Kleemann said.
My dyno? The only way to proof it, is by dyno it at HOP shop and i will just to proof it !!

Oh oh...that's the 3th times this month that i heard issues about Kleemann. JR1, should you be spending more times on your own issues?

Linh, I'm sure you will be there to gloat when Kleemann is having trouble making 700whp.

It's downright painful reading your posts. Your English teacher must be rolling in his grave
Speaking of 700 whp..........i believe we are still waiting (2-3 yrs. and counting) for "Stacksleek"/"SleekStack" car with all the Kleemann mods and a blown up up engine !!! I wonder what happen to him?
Dyno mode is for emission testing.
/QUOTE]
Vadim, I'm very seriously want to learn from you. Why does the car need to be in the dyno mode when it come for emission testing? The most they ever run the engine is around 3K rpm. And what happen to some Mercedes cars with out this dyno mode feature when it come to emission test?

This may be the key to unlocking a ton of hp. The HPS Gen IIs DO NOT utilize an FMU at all because it relys strictly on larger injectors. Mario's suggestion about using Split Second for timing and Super FMU worked fine with a Gen I but the design principle of the Gen II is different.

It ends up that all the injector pulses and response times were VERY different. For 2 weeks we couldn't figure out why the car would idle real funny and die on deceleration (even on the dyno). AEM finally came out with the specs for the 750's and all problems magically disappeared. IMO, getting the DME retuned for the size injectors you will be running is your top priority at this point.

From what I have been told dyno mode runs different maps for emission testing. These maps are not modified when car is tuned, so when the car is ran in dyno mode, it runs on un-tuned maps.

Folks are really having a field day with this thread! It's just incredible and imop wounds HPS's rep especially concerning this 2nd gen kit.I just don't get it and at this pt it's very dissappointing. If I were you Robert I would not ask or report anything more until after u get the final dyno run when or if you ever get your car and HPS bolt on sorted out!Just my advice.This is just Krazee!
