Benzmac,

I understand that MercedesShop will be the first U.S. distributor and installer of Kleemann supercharger, congratulations.

Can you give us any details as to what models will be offered kits? For instance W124, W201, W202, W210, W140, R129, etc?

Any hope of kits for the W124 models, such as the 400E / 500E?

Gentlemen, time to start saving for Christmas!!!

Kleemann Kits

Initially, we will only offer the M112 V6 kit.
This will work in the E 320, CLK 320, C 320 or ML 320.
This puppy puts out 314HP and 325 LB-FT of torque. (That's more than a stock E 430 which does 275HP and 295 LB-FT).

By the end of this year we will have kits for the M113 V8.
The Kit for the E 430, CLK 430, C 43 and ML 430 puts out around 400HP.

The kit for the E 55, CLK 55 and ML 55 puts out around 500HP. YeeHaw!

Will you have any kit available for the Inline six engine..
such as C36.
Or it is already available.
I do hope I can get extra horsepower out of my car.
And by the way do you know what is the rate for hp and torque limit for the tranny and rear diff for 97 C36.
Thanks.

ML320 Supercharger

Awesome...a dream come true for my very competent but rather slow ML320!!

HOW MUCH MONEY?? Can this job be done by my local Mercedes dealer or other competent mechanics?

This is not a DIY project.
Installation is included with the kit. Bring your car to us and we install the kit and test it.
We expect the price to be somewhere around $8,000 to $8,500 including labor.

OK, now that I have wiped the druel from my keyboard I can ask you my question. My CLK320 is BEGGING for the supercharger. Even though it is in the garage now, I can hear it asking.
One little problem. I am in Calgary. I would love to drive to your shop, but I can't see that happening.
I was at one time an auto mechanic myself, and do have access to any type of equipent nessesary, as well as some very talented people. Is it possible to give the details of the problem areas of the install, or even the instructions so I may peruse and see if I am still interested ?
As well, what are the warranty implications of this setup ?
Will the drivetrain stand up to the extra torque ?

The kit is ONLY available installed. Kleemann WILL NOT sell it as a DIY kit to anyone in the world. You have to drive or ship your car to a Kleemann authorized installer.

As far as warranty is concerned, the installation of this kit will VOID your Mercedes warranty. But hey, the factory warranty is only 4 years / 50,000 miles.

We are not aware of any drivetrain issues. The supercharger is tuned to stay within reasonable limits.
