Please read my last post again and show at the link!
My E55K has 553 hp at the crank and 513 hp at the rear wheels, 600 lft. This is what I wrote.
Beyond I wrote that the first dyno test (without mods) show following datas: 491 hp (crank) and 536 lft. Mercedes specify the E55K with 476 hp (crank) and 516 lft.
So what I mean is, that the first dyno test (491 hp > crank) and the specify datas from mercedes (476 hp > crank) are not very different. No engine has exactly the specify numbers. Because of this I make conclusions that the dynometer shows no wrong / constrained results.
@cls55
Yes I did. The second last pic shows the new extra reservoir.
@robert amg
I quite believe it! But I offer this HE by Mercedes. Perhaps the german cars have other modification as the american cars. One reason is the temperature / ambient air in germany. I know german cars (E55K) use a different thermostat for cooling circuit. Perhaps the HE are different too, means smaller than in usa.

All information has my friend which modified the circuit.
I will give him a call.

Please show at the link. There you will find the data sheet from the dyno.
I don´t know how you get 18%.
The dyno will measure the deficit hps.

I was just going by your statement, "My E55K has 553 hp at the crank and 513 hp at the rear wheels," using the standard 18% drivetrain loss to arrive at rwhp, if your car has 553 hp at the crank then it would actually have 454 hp at the rear wheels.

unfortunately, until we get a better i/c set-up or figure out chemical intercooling...our iat mods will all yield similar results (no matter how extravagant).

That equates to 505hp. I am not arguing with you I am just stating that if you use the standard 18% drivetrain loss, 553 crank horsepower doesn't equal 513 wheel horsepower.

please disconect the pipe from the engine cooling circuit to the intercooler circuit, then no water will be pressed out of the additional filler tank reservoir any more. i did the same mistake at my first intercooler split/ additional he install.
if you want send me a pm i'll describe it in german...
with the right mods you'll gain monstrous power from the 55K.

What he is trying to convert is NOT from kw to hp, he is going from crank hp to wheel hp. So for example, a 500 crank hp car with 18% drivetrain loss would measure 410 wheel hp on a dyno: 500 - (500 * 0.18) = 410 whp.
He is trying to say that if your car makes 553 crank hp, then it is approximately equivalent to making 453 wheel hp. And if it makes 513 wheel hp, then it is approximately equivalent to making 625 crank hp.

MB Forever I understand what he is trying to convent but I have to know where you get the 18%. Is this a general number? On which way was this number measured/figured out?
AND what is with the number of my data sheet which tells me 513 hp at the wheels?
