Hi!

I got a call from the guy whi is mounting the S/C. And they are going to install the W211 E55K Twin-airboxes on my W210. He told me that there where not enough space between the MAF and the bulkhead (Correct name?) So he wonders if there should be any distance thing or so, so that the Y-pipe can't fit in there Anyone who has a pic or have done this?

Thanks in advance!!!!!

I did a pic on what it is that makes it not fit. The pipe is where the cooling water runs through and it seems as if you need a intake with a different bend so it can come around these pipe where the water runs through.

Wish I could help... Good Luck:

Thanks!

Yes i really want to find a solution so that the twin-airboxes can fit. If not i guess the single airbox from Kleemann will take place

You may want to contact Blackbenzz. He had a 55K airbox on his Kleemann SC'd CLK55 before changing to a completely custom air intake.

Thanks, but i've already been in contact with him. He said that the MAF needed a bit of cutting in the plastic. But i'm not sure that it will do the trick in a W210 E55 engine bay, cause i think it's a bit smaller/tighter in our 55's engines compared to the longer W208 CLK55 hood

wow thats a tight fit

the 211 y-pipe doesn't fit in there at all? is it metal or silicone/rubber?

Have you contacted Kleemann? I'm sure they've been asked about this problem
before.

What about Peter and Jeff? (W210 E55K owners in this forum) Hopefully they
can give you a good direction on how to fix this.

good luck.

ABALONE

Yes, i've been in contact with Kleemann, great support

Seems like the installer solved the problem before i contacted Kleemann, so i'm glad that i can run these W211 E55 twin-boxes Getting the car on Friday

So how much HP is this baby gonna put out when complete?

Congrats Magnus on your installer getting it to fit!

Did he just mount the MAF in the Y tube at the Y?
You should keep it at a point of highest intake velocity.
Good luck, Dyno on Fri?

HAHA!! told you so

ABALONE

Havn't installed the single airbox so i can't say it became hot like you said If thats what you meant

W211 airboxes are for the looks only

ABALONE

Thanks

ABALONE

Not really sure, i guess he did it like it was supposed to be mounted. I'll have to check when i get the car.
No, no time for dyno on Friday. Going to drive it for a couple of KM so that the car adapts to the S/C being installed. Thanks!

ABALONE

If i knew that i'd tell you

My goals are crank 500+ HP 700+NM and 118-120 mph at the 1/4 strip

Really interested to see how the W211 airboxes combined with the double Kleemann heat exchanger will do. I think it will add a few more HP, at least the double heat exchanger

Peter_02AMG

I told you the W211 airbox won't fit the W210 engine bay. I try it, only way they told me it would fit is for you to modify the fire wall. Bent it inward, that what Mercedes tech told me.

Peter_02AMG

You be lucky if you get 520bhp!

I have the same set up as you do but my SC was running a 2.5" pulley which make 9.2 psi (stock 2.8" make 6.2psi) and i bearly making 520bhp. Good Luck!

ABALONE

Ok, must have missed that one. Well, now it fits without modifying the firewall, just took some time to sort it out

ABALONE

You didn't have the Kleemann headers on you car when you dynoed it

And i'm running 99 Octane fuel and have custom heat exchanger and W211 airbox, so we are not running the same setup

Also keep in mind that my car ran 112 Mph on 1/4 in it's N/A setup, thats aprox 420 HP, so add a charger and all my other mods and i see no problem in reaching 520 HP

And just because your car didn't reach 0.5 bar (7,15 psi) with the stock 2,8" pulley doesn't mean that my or any other car don't reach it

Boost isn't everything

ob1kenobi

How did he do it? Did he have to fabricate an extender tube to
clear the tubing?

Can't wait to see the results.

Post a new video when you have it screamming with the new S/C!!! thanks.

ABALONE

I'm really now sure, he said he made it fit and after that i stopped listen

Yes, MANY videos to come during the summer, i promise

CONGRATS BRO!!
