UPDATE:

I have received my headers AND have sourced the final piece to the puzzle, the Renntech air box. The box should be shipped out to me on Monday.

I am going to change my dyno plans and should be running the following:

1.) after Renntech air box has been installed
2.) after Kleemann headers and high flow cats have been installed
3.) after Eurocharged tune has been installed

Eurocharged will make a custom tune depending on the mods you have. Since the remote tuning process is kind of a hassle I figured I would get all of the mods installed and then tune once.

I will be setting up an appointment to get my headers installed ASAP.

I think you should dyno with the headers and high flows first then put on the renntech box. Don't you get a few pulls when you setup a dyno? Do the first pull with the headers and cats, then pop on the renntech airbox which is easy. I can't wait to see what you finally put down after you ecu tune.

damn those are some nice mods your c43 is amazing, make some more pics of it sometime.

There's a special place in heaven for those that have your patience 503, just be prepared to leave the radio off for a while...once you take the gag out of her mouth you will only want to hear her sing! CAN'T WAIT!!!

Looking forward too I hope to get my 43 out of hibernation and back on the road, but I may have to delay this (or else get the work done by my trusted tech, but then where is the fun of doing it yourself), as I my left hand needs surgery and that will keep it out of operations several weeks

UPDATE:

My Renntech CF airbox should be sent out tomorrow and I should receive it in about 5 days.

I can't wait

The only sad part is I am running out of mods Not much left except an LSD, S/C or 55 swap

Most likely I will go with the 55 swap (and then maybe a S/C ) but I will do the LSD before that as not only is it cheaper but it will help put all that power from the new motor to the ground

You can help fund my mods!


For the record, I'm going to estimate that you're gonna put down (with all mods + tune) about 360hp at the crank. Wonder how close I'll be.

I guesstimate 285whp 275wtq all said and done.

UPDATE:

Look what arrived today



The bottom has been heat shielded



It came with K&N air filters but I am thinking about replacing them with OEM filters due to the fact that apparently MAF's and K&N's don't mix well.

I will be installing this bad boy ASAP and then scheduling the dyno to capture the gains.

CF looks nice!

What is the advantage of this over the AMG version?

Cheers

About 15 HP

WaaaW, that’s very good Jason..., my friend had Renn. CF. before, with only 5-7HP, as he said after dyno it., he could be wrong......!!

ZAYED,,

I have seen from 6HP to 20 HP and Renntech claims 15-20HP. I know there have been some members on here who have done independent dynos and have come up with similar numbers. Hooleyboy dyno'd 10 RWHP gain. I am unsure if Renntechs numbers are at the crank or at the rear wheel.

here is a link to a thread about it:

https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...dent-dyno.html

Either way, without a doubt it adds power

Your Right,, can’t be figured same hp all the time,, also depends to the car condition & weather as well,,, as you said, it gives MORE power, That’s the

main point, ENJOY.........

The secret is not to oil the filters too much and make sure you oil the correct side of the panel filter, i.e. the side the air enter's the filter b4 being filtered.

Nachtsturm

Going to do before and after with the airbox?

Dump the K&N's, and get a set of AFE Pro-Dry S's.

Using them in my Renntech box on my CLK55 and my stock airbox in my ML55. Great filters and no oil to worry about.

track_warrior

This thread is full of win!! keep it going man

503C43 ////AMG

Yes dyno's will be performed with the box and I will check out those filters. Are there any HP gains with the AFE filters?

503C43 ////AMG

Thanks man I have purchased all of the parts, now it is just a matter of installing them

23K

Thanks for the link!,I can see now how it adds flow by removing the stock baffles and enlarging the flow path by raising the roof!. I would guess baffles were there for noise purposes rather than for air turbulence? *edit - ops was in a hurry and didn't read the whole thread,I see the baffles for noise restriction only,must be a little frustrating for the amg engineers some times.

Hi Paul,

OT perhaps, but I have just had a look and been through your "Turbo" site. OUTSTANDING engineering That is some serious tuning and I guess you could go and work with AMG anytime Great work

503C43 ////AMG

UPDATE:
Just ordered 2 of the AFE pro dry S filters for my Renntech air box, they should be here in a week or so. I opened up the box and you could see some of the oil from the K&N's caked inside of the box. that's all I needed to see to push me towards dry filters.

I will not be installing the box until I get the new filters, I will clean up the inside and I am thinking about redoing the heat shielding on the bottom of the box while I am waiting for the new filters.

I will post pics of the inside of the Renntech box VS the inside of the stock box for comparison.

503:

did you order 31-10025 afe dry s filters to fit the renntech airbox?
