Chargin55

I would be very interested to know if anyone has modified E55 with the CLK DTMs cams, pistons, intake etc. From what I can see it is our exact same supercharged 55 engines with more AMG trick bits. Can it be done? The DTMs 428 kW is crazy. I have searched the threads and cannot find anyone who has done this using AMG parts as used on the DTM. The parts are no doubt expensive but this modification should in theory be simple to do.

dyno

need to find its parts, first. did you ?

Parts shouldnt be hard to get unless MB require you to show proof of DTM ownership but I doubt that. MB service Dept. should be able to get them if they have the part numbers.

To my thinking this is the most logical performance upgrade using AMG parts that were specifically designed and built for the 55 Kompressor.

Obviously AMG can spend a hell of a lot more on design and function than a privatly owned workshop. Im not having a cheap shot at sponsors here who make awesome product for the 55 but a DTM 55 Kompressor parts upgrade should be easy in theory.

dyno

if you think it's going to be easy, just try !
.. maybe you'll have more luck than me.

What part of this is hard. Getting the parts?

dyno

Yesss

chiromikey

lol, that's exactly what they do when trying to source exclusive oem parts!

splinter

true that.

What’s the big deal? MB ostensibly built a hundred of ‘em.



Its VIN is amongst this hard drive’s files.

Proof of ownership will have to wait for another day. :)

dyno

supposing you could even bypass the ownership step, you need first to know the part #

Ali_E55

tell me which parts you want and i will get you part numbers.

i need the part name.

Zod

you do not understant HWA items (parts) are not in the local dealer data base WIS or what ever they call it

YES, my chance to show off my 5,000$ mistake.

Story behind this. Tuner years ago had deals with Evotech out of Germany. They were selling DTM intercoolers and the bypass delete part plus the tune. Parts were beautiful and I was about to install.....then motors started popping like Orville Reddenbacher. Tuner went under and without the tune, these are now beautiful shelf trophies. Hope to have the money someday to get Wayne at LET or Powerchip to mess around and try to find the bypass programming but til then, me and my German friends here just sit and wait.



Here is the bypass delete section. Think part number is removed but she is cool seeing the satanic bypass gone eh?





The 5K.....yeah yeah yeah, I know. Modding in the early days was rough!!!

Been quite a few years now.

dyno

OK, let's begin with Camshaft (Nockenwellen, in german)

Hammer Down

you may have better luck finding the SLR camshafts

MJ50

i have a DTM part that i've been trying to get for months now... no luck yet...
DTM can be ordered from MB dealers that have sold DTMs to customers...
even then, it's PITA to communicate with germany and takes forever...

Hammer Down

Try the parts department at Fletcher Jones Newport Beach or Laguna Niguel. I know that they have had sold a few DTM's here and there.

MJ50

will try FJ next time i go over there...

dyno

if that ... I already have also SLR's IC

Zod

Jakpro,

just trying to figure out the TB size for that car

mthis

dyno
