Would anyone happen to know whether the crank, rods and pistons in the M113 N/A and M113K are equal in spec? As far as I'm aware, the N/A's only forged parts are the split rods? I assume the M113K has everything forged?
I'm only asking in preparing for the S/C upgrade on my N/A M113...
Also, an update about my header modification. I found a race build garage in my city who have agreed to fabricate a fully custom hot shot long-tube header system for my car Upgrade and video coming soon!

Stock clusters and glass but with Bosch HID 4000K Xenon kits installed. The fog lamps with throw up a fault unless you install resistors to compensate for the altered voltage, but all in all, a very easy modification!
The kits are easily found and readily available on eBay. I hope this answers your question thoroughly enough?

Thank you for the reply BlownV8! So to your knowledge the only difference the M113K has from the M113 is the K has cast/low comp pistons rater than the forged standard comp ones? Ijust want to be sure, so I know whether it's going to be worth me changing my N/A pistons for the S/C upgrade...

They arrived last week some time, but I've only just had the chance to visit the shop who imported them and will now be installing them. These are the first set to officially hit the UAE, and they will be dropping into the ports of the customised/braced/soundproofed OE E55 rear shelf Read more about them here >>> http://www.ddaudio.com/products/mobi...o/woofers/sw65 <<<

I'm really surprised they've found a torque converter drain plug on your car! I thought for models 2000 and up they didn't make a drain plug anymore for the TQ...

I guess you thought wrong, because there it is, right in front of our very eyes

I agree Neanicu888. He's always got the answers to the most unlikely of questions!

I don't know how many W210 E55 AMG owners have experienced perished bodykit seals, but I have, and had mine replaced this morning. The devil is in the detail, as they say

Although, on testing and setting up the sound, we did find the amplifier has a fault on the two rear full range channels :roll eyes: We will be swapping it for a new one as soon as I get word of it being delivered to the shop in Abu Dhabi
Custom headers and a remap next
