S600lex

Hi guys!
Just wanted to share this with my fellow mb:ers
So last weekend I took my 2004 s600 with kleemann ecu/tcu tune to the drag strip.
I bought some mickey thompson et street radials 245/40-18 and mounted them on my original 18 inch rims.
At the track they hooked up surprisingly well when they got som heat.
I got 6 rounds of total.
My best pass was my second one.
The result 7,68s / 148km/h (92 mph)
So now my quest for 7.5.. times begins!
I dont now whats my next step for power/performance enhancement will be.
At the end of the day I want my car as smooth and stock as possible :-)
Do you guys have some good feedback?
Mayby exhaust cutout,LSD,Meth injection?
I belive I could cut another tenth or something on the 60is.
But a little bit extra power for good measurement is always good!

Maxxpower

Very cool, sounds like a lot of fun! Any 1/4 times/speeds?

S600lex

Fun indeed
Im afraid not.
Nearest 1/4 mile track is like 220 miles from where I live :-(
Mayby sometime in the future :-)

Maxxpower

Oh, I see.. just over an hour away. : )

S600lex

220miles in an hour. Right!
Would be fun to race 1/4 sometime tho

Does anyone know if I can tap in to this hose and read boost pressure from it?

Welwynnick

No, that's the waste-gate actuator, and it takes the output from the waste=gate controller valve under the RHS intercooler.

Ok
Thanks for quick reply!
Do you know where you can tap in to get a boost reading?

Welwynnick

Do you want the pressure upstream or downstream of the throttle?

Had you considered using the engine's own measurements? You can display and record manifold pressure using various OBD2 readers.

Nick

I would prefer downstream.
Yeah I use to read by the OBD when just monitoring/reading.
But now I need a boost source to my progressive water injection

Do anyone know if the clk 16" rim A2084010002 will fit the s600 eurospec with big brakes?
I see a lot of e55 guys running them with spacers.

Finally I got to try out some 1/4 mile track :-)
For all doubters on the kleemann software.
Here is my timeslip. Would love some more grip.
But it is what it is :-)
My time on the right

Get your kleemann lsd. That will help for sure with grip.
