I really like this one, classy and understated, none of this obnoxious rolling coal shit or loud exhausts for the sake of loudness. This isn't about stupid speed or crazy power, but being an unstoppable force that can casually overcome any form of resistance, like an hydraulic press slowly shredding whatever was unfortunate enough to be placed in it. This deep, diesely rumble... love it.

When driving calmly I can't tell a difference in fuel economy from stock, but it's more apparent when you floor it frequently. It consumes about 10l/100km mixed driving. At far trips I've seen as low as 7.0L/100km. City driving can be everything from 1.2-1.8l/100km. So the fuel economy is just fine :)

[@bkorven]

Hi, thank you very much. It's got 330rwhp/414bhp, not quite 400rwhp, but this is achieved with only modified exhaust and ECU-tuning(+KD-Chip). The waterpump is upgraded too, for better cooling, and does alot for performance. It doesn't increase max power output though, but helps maintain the power when driving enthusiastically. From a roll race 60km/h I think my E420 CDI would have the advantage up to about 130-140km/h, and then the C63 should be back, due to 40bhp more and a little less weight

Yes it will smoke a little, but not a lot if you've got a good software! As you can see in this video any smoke is barely visible. And yeah.. the exhaust sound makes it worth it no matter what :P Transmission raceplate, a lightweight clutch plate you mean? How much did that cost you? And who made it/installed it for you? Could be an interesting mod, a lighter plate might improve response and acceleration, but I think a heavier plate gives a more sturdy and strong feel.

[@bkorven]

Hi! Thank you very much, it makes me glad to hear. To achieve this exhaust sound I've got now, I deleted DPF and mufflers. If you delete the DPF you need new ECU-software, or you will get fault codes. But in doing so, you'll also get a boost in power. My E420 CDI went from 393bhp to 414bhp after the DPF delete. You can just delete the mufflers without any following consequences of any fault codes or so, but the biggest difference in sound will come by deleting the DPF aswell. Good luck!

Deleting DPF is kinda illegal, isn't it? Haven't you some problems with police or in diagnostic station?

@Max Mustermann, for some reason KZbin won't let me make a direct reply to your comment(and some others..?). Anyhow, not all diesel engines smoke like a coal train without DPF. There can be several reasons why a diesel engine smokes, but I believe the most common reason is overfueling.The more unburnt fuel that leaves the engine, the more black smoke! If I go it right, a bit overfueling on a diesel won't hurt the engine in any way, but it means you are missing out on fuel. Without DPF my diesel smokes just a little bit under heavy load, which I perceive as that I have got very well optimized ECU-software. I might be wrong :)

@@Vontharau47 Again, thanks! It's nice that you come back and comment after so long. I also think the electrification is a bit boring... We may have lived through the peak time for petrol heads, that I'd personally say was around the decade of 2010, having in mind the M156, the BMW S85 V10, among many other sensational engines. While smaller and more efficient engines is something positive on one hand, big and exotic engines just has another charm about them. Not least in terms of exhaust noise. As you mention, the electrification might take over completely. I hope that synthetic and alternative fuels will be able to save the combustion engine. Speaking of which, Koeniggsegg has an engine (TFG - Tiny Friendly Giant) that is claimed to be able to clean the air in its surroundings, depending on what fuel it is running on. I haven't given up the hope on the internal combustion engine. If nothing else, internal combustion engines may exist in a niche industry with smaller scale manufacturing, for enthusiasts.

[@16000revs]

What kind of torque and power figures with a stage 3 kit? Yours is stage 2,mad torque figures, how much tires do you go through a day? The rear tires must light up every single time you floor it, and considering you have this much power and torque it has, it is almost inevitable.

[@bkorven]

Stage 3 tuning would include upgraded turbochargers, so it actually depends on what kind of turbochargers one chooses to go with. ~550bhp and ~1300nm would probably not be too much for the engine to stay reliable, but the drivetrain could be an obstruction, I'm not sure it can sustain without being reinforced, and how extensive work it would mean. To be short, yes, the tires takes serious suffering hehe, but rather the tires taking damage than the drivetrain. Tires are perishable anyhow, but I try to not burn too much.

1400nm would likely be too much for the transmission(but who knows..). Could it be reinforced to handle it? Probably, but it would certainly involve alot of hassle with the TCU-software. I'm sure it's no easy task, but if I were to let Kleemann have my car for a month or two for testing and development, it could likely be done.

I'm very sure that one could actually obtain 450-500rwhp for the 420 CDI if you really wanted to. Bigger turbochargers and upgraded injectors etc. etc. It should have about 1350-1400nm at that stage. I'm not after that level of tuning for this car though, this is my daily driver and I'm happy with the performance as it is.

[@bkorven]

AppleJuice Yeah that's a pity. Isn't the OM629 avaible in the W221 S-class either? Limit alleged to be 735nm for the transmission, yes, and I don't worry about it at all. The people over at Kleemann never had any concerns about it. I've been told that the limit is a great underestimation. Clearly it is! Thanks alot for your comment!

It is indeed (S 420/450 CDI). A great underestimation - love it! I wonder why M-B fitted the 5G-Tronic to W221 S65...? o_O

[@bkorven]

AppleJuice I wonder too... maybe they were uncertain themselves of how much the 7G-tronic could sustain. I don't think anyone before has stretched the limits of this gearbox as far as I have, hehe. The M156, found in w211 E63 AMG(7G-tronic), with stage 3 supercharger conversion comes close, but still doesn't reach the same peak torque as this E420 CDI.

Hi, thank you very much! Does your E400 CDI have DPF? If it has, you will gain the biggest difference in exhaust sound by deleting that. By doing this you would have to remap your ECU once again though, but you would also be able to gain some more power since the DPF is restrictive to the exhaust flow. However you could start out by deleting the mufflers and see if that satisfies you. That should lead to a bit more interesting growl than stock, and you won't need any remapping.

[@Dieselforever1]

I just love Merc's diesels and their sounds but yours it's simply earth shattering!! This isn't the same engine as on the 2006-2011 ML 420 CDI? And please tell me where you found and upgrade for the turbochargers because I saw that there aren't as many upgrade parts for the diesels...

[@bkorven]

Many thanks, that warms my heart hearing ;) This should be the same engine(OM629) as found in ML420 CDI, but who knows if the configuration differs in some way. My turbochargers are factory stock, untouched! The problem with finding tuning parts on the aftermarket for these engines lies in the short coming of demand. Very very few people ordered these engines, and even fewer of those who did has ever had any plans in modifying them. This OM629 diesel is not generally considered a selection for performance and driving pleasure, for a couple of different possible reasons. But it's such a brutal and lovely engine in my opinion! I'm not personally looking for an upgrade for my turbochargers now, but if you really want it you can likely get it, in one way or another. The narrow aftermarket makes it more difficult and it takes more effort to get the tuning you're after, but it's most often not impossible.

For en rå lyd:) Bruker du en oppgradert ecu software+en powerboks/tuningboks samtidig? Har selv en E400cdi med oppgradert software,men kan man bruke powerboks/tuningboks samtidig?

Mange tak! Javisst, jag har både Kleemann's powerbox, så kallad KD-box, och ECU-mjukvara samtidigt. ECU-mjukvaran jag använder är framtagen av Kleemann själva och anpassad för att kombineras med KD-boxen, så mjukvaran blir en komplettering. Så ja, det går att använda både och, men jag vet inte om det är någon idé att matcha ihop Kleemann's powerbox med någon annans ECU-mjukvara. Jag vet inte exakt hur de har löst det, men KD-boxen är nog ganska simpelt inställd på att ändra en eller två värden i motorstyrningen för exempelvis laddtryck eller bränsle(så att i princip vem som helst kan dra nytta av det). ECU-mjukvaran är antagligen mer invecklad, och för min del stänger den även av funktionsinställningarna för DPF och kopplar ifrån hastighetsspärren.

Have you still got the car if so how has long term reliability been

[@bkorven]

I do still have it! The reliability has been very good. I've have a little trouble with the pre-glow system throughout the years, but that's all I can think of.
