Kleeman pulleys
been looking at what you guys have in the US regards to stage 1 performance, we dont seem to have rennteck dealer but we do have kleeman pulley
stock E55amg
BHP 476 (98 ron)
lbft 518 (700 Nm)
Kleeman stage1
BHP 520
lbft 555 (750 Nm)
consists:
"Specific to each Mercedes-Benz model, the KLEEMANN Engine Performance Kit contains a custom-made pulley set, high airflow filters and a K-Box. The pulley is CNC machined and the diameter is increased and precision balanced to ensure a long service life and full vibration dampening. A new belt idler and serpentine belt is also fitted to maintain OE specifications for belt tension and high-flow air filters reduce pressure drops inside the air box to maximize airflow."
now im not sure i like the sound/looks of the K-box seems like a $1 ebay resistor type device that fools certain sensors. and the airfilters are pretty pointless looking as stock airbox have $millions spent on them, the only thing id do is the SL55 intake y-pipe and perhaps a trusted filter like green or itg at a push.
so has anyone experienced Kleeman pulleys and what are these gains like.
also is it normal to receive a box like K-Box ??? i would have thought a.) send standard ecu off to get professionally flashed to accomodate pulleys and b.) best results RR`s custom remap with new pulleys fitted.
sorry for so many questions just trying to get my head around stuff
