Can someone explain the datalogger equipment, and brands or whatever these are; Zeitronix, Dashdaq, Carchip.

What is the difference between an E55 HE and the EC HE? WHat do most people on these boards use?

320 dreamer-Is there some type of $ 3check valve that you can use in place of the fluid separation kit? Is there a write up or something on this?

JUAN CASAUS-Im gonna try to answer this so my thread doesnt get jacked by responses to this question. From my research both intakes make power on the dyno but a full SLK55 will make more. Code 3 allows you to hear the SC whine more. There have been a few threads on this recently

Six to one, half-dozen to another!! You can no longer get the Code 3 HE since he hasn't made it in almost three years...............It was a very ncie piece when Brandon was making it!! Mine (Code 3) bolted right in with NO mods whatsoever. Get the EC unit, it'll be fine.

As far as Bhp goes stock is what 355? Eurocharged claims +45 hp to the wheels so add 10-20 auto DT loss, and properly tuned for a full SLK55 intake I'd ball park it (hopefully conservatively) around 405-415 bhp (crank).

Id really like to know the deal with the data logging.

First, google zeitronix, dashdaq and carchip. Then figure out your budget. Follow with lots of reading on your choice.
You need to monitor air/fuel ratio, intake air temp, outside air temp, speed, rpm, tps, timing. There are other params, but these will give you actionable data.
