Cory @ Kleemann

From now, until the end of October, KLEEMANN has reduced the price of our C55 Kompressor systems from $9995.00 to $7900 (plus shipping) for MBWorld members! For more information, please contact Brandon at bg@kleemannusa.com. I will be on vacation until October 17th, so any PM's will be answered after that.

Great DEAL!

These guys are class acts to deal with!

E-mail sent, that is EXTREAMLY tempting...

Doe this apply to SLK55?

Klinh

If you visit the Slk55 forum more often, you would know.

FYI, install is another couple of grand!!! There's more to it than you think on the install. Is this the Autorotor like mine??

betrezra

It's most likely the new Eaton; although, they did have 1 auto-rotor kit avail back in June, 2011 but it was the normal price.

Don't discount the little eaton... I'm putting down some decent numbers with mine, and I did not encounter serious heatsoak or issues with a smaller pulley and 107 deg F heat this summer.

I can only imagine how much I'm leaving on the table with the autorotor model with my mods. )

Quicktwinturbo

SLk55 forum is dead...seriously..


How much is the installation? Does the kit include ecu flash?

betrezra

Trust me on this one..... ship the car to Cory @ Kleeman in Colorado, and have it installed, tuned, and dyno'd by the experts.

There are many imposters in this business, and the outcome will NOT be good if you make the wrong decision on installers. Trust me I know. It cost me 9 mo's of my life and extra hard earned cash to go the wrong route!!!!!!!!!! Please go to Kleemann!!!!!!

Install is $1800-$3000 dep on what you have done..... best to get the quote direct from Kleemann. Trucking one way from Houston to Kleemann was $1200 covered carrier, but there are cheaper solutions..... open carrier is less $700-800. Then you can drive it home for one heck of a road trip.

Good luck!!!

I love my clk-kleemanized machine. I daily drive it now for a few months right through one of the hottest summers on record in Houston..... no cooling issues with AC running in Houston Traffic...... no serious heat soak. And when the cool weather hits... hang-on! My car is more of a beast now in cool 68 deg mornings. I can't wait for 40-50 deg weather!

I actually planned on selling my slk and get something else but this is tempting..................Eaton Sc makes a little lower hp numbers correct?

Dang.... So tempting...

91RS

I've been talking to Brandon, and the price is for the Eaton, but he says it makes the same power as the Autorotor and is a less complicated and very reliable. He also said this system runs with the stock tune, so if you already have a tune it needs to be returned to stock. He did say though that a more aggressive timing map can be used with headers that do away with the cats to make more power.

Here's my dyno sheet:
04clk55
kleemann Eaton
PTE Cams
kleemann headers
smaller pulley
ported heads

Dyno at the wheels corrected for sealevel (which is where I dwell):

Also there is a dedicatd SLK forum on the web..... a guy there from UAE has a kleemanized SLK and some sweet utube vids that will make you keep you slk and kleemanize it!!!

SLK will be the fasted car to kleemanize due to the lower wgt! GL>

Alourmi from slkworld dot com has a sweet slk-kleemann.....

1st and 2nd gear are useless with TC off......

cldriver

What smaller pulley is available?

Haha - that's my car in the Kleemann pic.

betrezra

cldriver - AWESOME! Love white.

There are smaller pullies..... but I would not rec it, unless you get your heads ported. I was able to put the smaller pulley to get boost back up to stock levels after the heads were ported. I would not want to go above stock boost levels with 11.1-1 cr. Too risky. Some guys have done it, but one shot of bad fuel or a hick-up with your fuel press regulator and bye bye ring lands, or egde of piston, or Head gasket....

Newzchspy

I am looking for a smaller pulley for my autorotor and was promised one by two people, BUT no one has come through? Any thoughts as to where I can get one without custom fabrication??

MBfinatic

What does your S7 put down whp wise? Just curious..

Newzchspy

The original Kleemann dyno from Kleemann Colorado says 515?? I dont think its anywhere near that, BUT based upon my races with Gallardos and C5/6 Vettes, I 'd put her well into the 400s. The C32 has been dynoed here BUT not the C55. Its just a totally different car than my C32, which is Cat Quick whereas the C55 has much more torque and like I said before, feels like Thor's hammer. Unmodded C5s (including ZO-6) and C6s have been easy pickings so far. C6 Z06s and Zr1s, well that's a whole other league that I don't play in, although I have given a C6 ZO-6 a very good run.

+1, have Cory do it out there and get er done right!!! They've done a ton of them. Common Carrier is $600-800, covered is over $1000. Its an easy install if you know what you're doing and they do!! My car takes a std GM belt for the SC!! The ONLY thing you need to be aware of is, it will be tuned at high altitude there, so there may be a difference at sea-level. Note that my car also has the Kleemann headers.

betrezra

515RWHP!!! what a beast! That autorotor is the snizzle.

MBfinatic

Is that the same regular Kleemann SC? I heard they have different kinds?

betrezra

I'm pretty sur Newz has the old style auto-rotor. Kleemann had one of the older style kits avail this summer. Give them a call to find out.

AMGSC

They are different designs with the Autorotor actually compressing the air and is more efficient. The Eaton designs have improved but the air is still circulated outwards around the perimeter of the rotors thus creating more heat and turbulence and less air density as the air is not compressed inwards between the tighter tolerances of the twin screw rotors. I am partial but given the same displacement of the blower the twin screw still puts out a few more ponies and pumps more cfm. In terms of reliability, the roots blowers are extremely reliable.

AMGSC

I still don't understand how Kleemann computes the rwhp on their platform or their software. I think it has to do with the correction factor due to the elevation conversion from Colorado to Sea level. It's always higher than the results on local DynoJets and DynoDynamics. Even their 2005 brochure states that a Kleemann S8 rated horsepower is 560bhp.
