Kleemann CLK50k article

There is a fantastic Kleemann CLK50k article in the September issue of Mercedes Enthusiast magazine. I highly suggest you pick this up.

Shine, the magazine is actually based in England, so i'm sure you could probably get it. If you can't find it in any bookstores, you can order backissues aswell as a subscription from their website.

Accord, I found the VW, MG enthrusiast mags in FNAC.
no Mercedes, if not bother,could you digest something special
about this CLK50K.
Kleemann is posting it, but no content so far.

My club of MB hold a gathering yesterday
(1) The group buy of CL-look grill received, I post a pic
in C32AMG forum.
(2) We're studying the MKB kits as well, ask the dealer go for
a visit in the end of Q3 and bring us more solid information.
MKB tune AMG models, they're working on SL55 right now.
(3) We're also fine tune the Kleemann package, high Temp really a major concern in tropic area. Those AMG parts used in supercharge models are under our evaluation.
(4) Test run the Brabus SL55 K8 if my package is arrived
and lucky to meet that monster.

Are you suggesting that the AMG intercooler parts will some how provide a better result than the KLEEMANN unit? This is a giant step backwards-

Mr. Kleemann,

Regarding your comment. Why is that?

Could you tell me what products you will have for the W209? Do you have any dealers in CANADA?

Kleemann is one of the best efficient S/C, no doubt it is.
What we're trying to fine tune
(1)Gas nozzle, we "discuss" AMG maybe a larger one than stock.
more feul to feed as rpm goes high.
(2)Seperate Oil cooler, it's standrad in AMG S/C models, can help the "all in one cooler" designed by NA cars more cooling effect.
(3)Sensors implement to link Hi-end e-meters and let our
hard driving with readings about the temp,boost....
(4) We noted a pulley beneath the water pump easy to fail after
certain time period,try to put an electric pump instead.

Pls do not misunderstand, we're working on Kleemann s/c
more reliable under hard driving conditions and I appreciate
your technicial sharing & comments anytime.
We're on the same boat.

Yokomo-

We have extensively tested the AMG intercooler. Its efficiency is about 50% and has a high pressure drop ( I am bound by contract not to discuss exact figures). Suffice to say that it is less than ideal. We have kompressor systems, suspension, wheels, ex systems, headers, full interior conversions- everything!

Please see our homepage for dealer listings.

Shine-

I see where you are coming from now- we are on the same boat.

Mr Kleeman,

"Please see our homepage for dealer listings." I already checked before I asked the question. There is nothing for Canada.

How would this work if I wanted something from you guys?

Yes ! I read their post on their newly released issues.
It's said 0~ 62 mph 4.6"
Top speed close to 200 mph and I love that !
"NEVER ENDING URGE" touch my mind....... :p
How much longer I'm waiting for an Mercedes performs like
this and price friendly to most people.
