Vadim @ evosport

We have been working on EVOlution III Power Package for E/S/SL/G/CL55 applications. So far we are over 500 RWHP and 550 RWTQ on 91 octane CA.
I will have a dyno graph and parts list posted very shortly.

Meanwhile, many of our customers have been asking us about some simple do-it-yourself upgrades.

Here is one. Intake Manifold Spacer (IMS). IMS isolates surge tanks from the engine and reduces their temperature by 20-25F degrees. We really have not measured any power gains on the dyno, but on the street - spacer keeps car more consistent and less heat dependent.

Install is very simple, in about an hour. All you need are metric tools and torx bits.

When you open the hood you can now touch the surge tanks, where as kompressor will burn your hand. Spacers will come as a set of two with four gaskets. Pricing will be posted shortly.

for w210 or w211?

gmdebruyn

what are the potential downsides? any at all?

dgussin1

ummm thats a 211 engine. Hence the blower on top.

Vadim @ evosport

Really none. The spacers are 1/8'' thick, so everything still lines up. And once installed you can not even see them.

Please let us know what is up with price and instructions? I would try on my car.

BenzoBoi

I may also be a guinea pig...

Thanks for the interest. The pricing will be $199 for the set. However, if we can get 10 people to bite now, we can offer a one time special of $149 for the intial run.

thanks

Brad

For $199, I'll buy!!!

How do I proceed?

AMGfan

I'm in...keep us posted on proper way to proceed !

BenzoBoi

Hey Brad, if this does pull through...Can I come down to yer place and just have you guys install it? Coming from you guys I'm sure you guys know what to do.

MrAMG

Please put me on the list.

elboricua

my question was can this be done in a w210?

zdkdeeier493

Brad, I'm also in the SoCal area and VERY interested. I'm a sure buyer as long as I'm assured that there are no possible reprocussions to my vehicles long-term performance. If possible I'd like to come down to your shop and have your guys install it as well if thats possible. Thanks

BenzoBoi

If everything does go through we 2 should jus roll down there together...what do you think???

Blocktrader

This is a part for the supercharger on the "Kompressor" 55 engines. That is why it will not apply to a 210.

I will definitely take one of these.

Marcus Frost

Vadim,

I used the same trick on my W211 that I did on my W210 - I ordered some Thermotec heat wrap, removed my airboxes, and wrapped the bottom of them with the wrap. I definitely noticed a difference before and after from touching the boxes with my hand and even in the general operating temperature of the car.

Could we have the spacers coated so that they don't conduct heat by coming into contact with other hot parts of the engine? This mod in conjunction with a wrapped box could see some very positive results.

I'm down. I'm dying to see your WALD kit too...count me in.

Vadim:

Do I understand correctly that this IMS spacer is for all 5.5L Kompressor V-8s (Mine is the 2004 SL55)? If so, put me down for one of the ten group buy @ $149.00. You should post this on the SL55/SL65 forum section as well or the "Power/Performance" section too.

BenzoBoi

I'm sure we can find at least 3 people in the SL55 forums or any of the kompressor guys forums so we can have our needed 10 people for the group buy. If I'm correct we have 7 people alone in the e55's on this thread that are interested...

gmdebruyn

Count me in as well please. I'll be coming down to visit SoCal, so I too would like to stop by and have it installed. You guys open on weekends?

otoupalik

Great idea, I am going to copy this to the other 55k boards.

Thanks

Brad

schwarzwagen

this has got to be one of the most idiotic mb mods i have ever seen.

otoupalik

Hey all, sorry for the delay in posting.

So here is what we are going to do for the MBWorld community. We are going to do the first 10 kits we make ONLY to MBWorld members and do them at $149.00 vs. the retail of $349.00 that we will sell them at after the MBWorld exclusive special!

So I know that there are many interested, so here is how I would like to proceed.

1. send an e-mail to brad@evosport.com
2. make sure the subject says "K55 Spacer Deal"
3. Give me your complete shipping, billing and payment information

Or you can call me at 714.901.3100 x15

I will keep a list of the 10 members who jump, and the deal will expire on the 10th sale.

Thanks for all the interest and continued support.

Brad
