KLEEMANN w211

I was checking out the KLEEMANN site and under the press releases i read about the tuning for the new W211 E500. I read that the car will have over 500hp but has a boost of only 0.4? Was that a misprint?I thought the standard was 0.5. What if the car was set over? like at 0.5 or 0.6? how much Hp would it gain by an increased boost?

I believe it's mis-typed.
In "Car news Magazine", published August here in Taiwan, the first time
Kleemann show up the CLK50K complete car, the same engine tuned in E50K.
The most interesting part is "They fine tuned the ECU" not only
put S/C + intercooler kinds of H/W installation as they used to.


Look at the Torque curve 680NM/ 2000~6000 rpm, If it's true
then there must be a refined ECU to support that.

Received a call from Kleemann agent here in Taiwan.
There're "different" parts for CLKV8, need re-order from Denmark.
The agent thought the SC of V8 are all the same as I did, now I've to wait for a couple of weeks till the new parts arrive.
I still have no answer if ECU reprogram is one of the mods.
Count down to boost my Silver a beast

I just read a Taiwanese magazine article off the KLEEMANN site and it also stated that the E50K has a Boost of only 0.4.

V8's have a much larger torque curve than smaller displacement motors:

Lightbulb

We, enthrusiasts here in Taiwan tested the 3.2 V6 by different pulley.
data from G-Tech
0~100km 0~400M End_speed
0.4 bar(75mm) -> 6.67sec 14.9sec 152km/h
0.52bar(68mm) -> 6.32sec 14.2sec 160km/h

(1) My members hook-up a pressure gauge to monitor the bar
stock 0.5 bar "as papers said", actual reading is range over 0.4~0.5
Not that meaningful to conclude 0.5 bar is incorrect.
The shrink pulley(68mm)peak at 0.72 bar,most of the reasonable rpm, it goes 0.6 bar.
(2) Another reason I'd said 0.5 bar is AMG55 compressed 11:0, higher than a normal V8 10:1, a downtuned 0.4 bar S/C will fit on 55 motors.
Roughly distinguish the bar(0.5/0.4) between 5.0 & 5.5 engine.

Hi, Mach430 :
From W208 forums, you & Sleestack are two Top gun there
Very impressive & wish more learning from your Mods.
CLK is a very good platform, either W208 or W209 to play with.
My schedule is delayed by parts reordering.

BTW Does 355 wheel power refer to engine power around
430 hp ?

What a price !
Receive the quotation : W209 delimit Vmax.
US$ 1740 : Vmax reprogrammed, I'm not sure is it subcontract
to a 3rd party or programmed by Kleemann themselves.

Expensive ! Only if they refine the ECU to perfectly match S/C
sold on the market
and remove the speed limit by the way.
I'd comment it's a good deal.
