W211 E320 CDI TUNING

francom82 · 11-05-2009, 09:21 AM

Hi there

Have been speaking to a rep from Kleeman about the options relating to the tunings of a W211 E320Cdi.

He said that the 3.2 Inline 6, responds better to a remap (well a Kleeman box), than the 3.0 V6. And said that often the I6, which is supposed to be making 204bhp standard, is making as much 224bhp before any remap or tuning at all.

He also suggested that the I6 could achieve as much as 280bhp!! With just a Kleeman box and no other tuning?

What are people's thoughts on this? Anyone had experience with this Kleeman box? Are those power gains realistic?

Many thanks

Franco

Whats' a Kleeman box? The gain does not seem realistic because even with a turbocharger, I doubt you can get that kind of increase in hp. Just my thought.

The kleeman box is a sort of remap but you don't change the ecu, u just plug the box in somewhere?

Come on guys! Help out here!!

Its not all about the hp. More about increasing torque. I've got the Brabus D6 (II) tuning kit installed; 250 hp / 413 ft-lbs @ 1800-2600 rpms (vs. 201 hp / 369 ft-lbs). Now it launches off the line way faster, spins rear tires and cruises better.

I've read about others, Carlsson (good), Kleeman (ok), Renntech (ok), Powerchip (bad), others (bad). Brabus is one of the better tuners and doesn't just increase fuel rail pressure. Kleeman may blow abit more smoke out the exhaust, wasted diesel fuel.

That looks like the sort of thing. You have the facelifted W211 with the 3 Litre V6 right?

I am looking at the pre face lift W211 Inline 6, with the increased displacement of 3.2 Litres. Does that Brabus remap only work with the 3.2?

Also, what was the cost for your car's brabus remap? How much of a performance increase was there after you had it done?

Thanks

Yes, there's a Brabus D6 (iII) version for 2003-2006 E320 CDI. Their current website doesn't show it. that II version is for the L6.

See attached for the Brabus D6 (II) for 2003-2006 E320-CDI.

I've got a Kleemann box on my 2006 CDI. The results are very good. It has been covered many times before but all it is is a fuel pressure spoof. Works great though.

I will sell mine for $500. It's 6 months old and in perfect shape. I'm selling the e320.
