C32 500hp....CLK GTR

JRAMGV8

Yeah never seen the article either, but hey... 500HP!!!!!!!!!!

MB_Forever

It's actually a re-post, but still impresses me everytime I read this article...

MIDO

That is a very nice one....500Bhp, is a bit more then I have...I have 447Bhp at the moment, but will be getting more.

boohooramblers

447bhp? Nice! Do you have Kleemann cams as part of that K3 setup?

jgsx

I know, I want a set of Kleeman cams, especially after the Schrick ones turned out not be intended for supercharged motors! We could sell our stock cams to the Crossfire dudes too so that they can finally say that they have a C32 engine.

MIDO

Yep, it's the full option... When I'm getting home now in April, I'm getting the Kleemann pedal set instaled, and my new CF interior and CF front lip. Will try to get pic up when all is done, so that if there is any of you that want to se it.

Harry Madan

wow that is just crazy. 500 hp in that car would be a rocket, i wounder how it would do on the tracks.

How much boost does your engine see now with the stage 3? According to that article their engine has accepted 1.2 bar (approx 22#s). That is good to hear.

jgsx

1.2bar is about 17.4psi, not 22.

MIDO, your sig says you have "Kleemann LSD"... do you have Lambo Style Doors on your C-wagon?

Jani Anttila

"A programmable voltage clamp was fitted to the factory MAP sensor to allow the overall boost pressure to be raised from 0.9 bar to 1.2 bar"

As you can see they had to modify MAP sensor. Some guys here in Finland have also made some bleeders for MAP to allow more boost in their heavily tuned diesels.

msheredy

Oops my arithmetic is a little rusty.

jturkel

what exactly constitutes a K3 C32 setup?

advans

haha I've seen this guy on an interview with BBC's Top Gear.

it was on his exotic CLK DTM

jgsx

Hey jturkel, the c32 comes with a cold intake from the factory. What kind of custom one are you planning on?

MIDO

Yes, that is exactly what I meen! If you look closely on my pic, you can se them.

MIDO

msheredy, I'm sorry to say that I have no idea.....

MIDO

They remapped the ECU, changed camshafts, new headers with downpipes removed my primary cat installed LSD. 447Bhp 540NM.

jturkel

i'll draw up a picture. essentially, im taking out all of the stock intake piping. gonna order light weight aluminum piping. where the current inlets are for air, there are going to be two cone filters (one for each side). they will go up towards the splitter in the light weight piping. i think my friend and i measured it to be 2 or 2 1/2 into a 3 using couplers. also, we designed a splitter that is much less restrictive than the stock one that fits with respect to the firewall and the throttle body. if ur interested in what the designs look like, i can post them or send them to you. i have several different angles of the splitter. it was designed using some special program my buddy uses in his lab with NASA to test air flow and apparently it will flow very well. we just havent had time to make it yet, pretty cool though. and i do realize that the horsepower gain will be minimal if anything. it should help throttle response, espeically with less air restriction going up to and through the splitter. its also more for looks and perhaps the noise

jgsx

What's the point? The SL55 splitter is plenty of an upgrade. The intake pipes are not a restriction. If you really want to do a full intake overhaul, the full SL55 intake system can be installed, and it won't look like a rigged honda

jturkel

Well, if you look at one of the pictures in the article posted in this thread, you can see kind of the idea of the intake with the cone filters. However, I realize the intake pipes are not a restriction. The stock splitter is what is very restricted. If you take it off and take a look (which im sure you have judging by your mods), it has a wider diameter for air entry but it is then made very narrow so it can fit in with respect to the firewall. I dont recall the dimension change. the splitter we designed is much less restrictive and allows for greater air flow.

I'd love to see this DTM w/painted gloss blk side mirrors, blk grill, and some sik deep dish 20"s w/blk centers Chuck that hood star for a flat badge! and lastly that air scoop on the roof painted gloss blk as well
