intake

Came upon this M104 head refurb http://www.flickr.com/photos/lop124028/sets/72157605115286959/ and noticed the heat shielding on the air intake. Is it worth doing, would it make a noticeable difference ?

ML270 W163 2002 120k km's (Australian) Was wondering if something might be missing from my air intake setup. It looks as though there should be some sort of 'surround' or 'housing' where the air intake joins onto the front mudguard. There is a visible gap approx 1/4 inch wide between the intake...

Has anyone noticed that on the W220 V8 (Maybe others as well) in front of the Air intake pipes, the grill is solid plastic, 1st pic. Surely if you got cold air straight into the airbox it would improve performance, or MPG for no cost, I cut away both sides, 2nd pic. I haven't driven the car...

Hi guys, hopefully you can give me some advise here, got 4eyed mercedes with 2.5 turbodiesel engine 110kW, i have a terrible consumption for a moment, i did refill, got 350km and filed in 42l of diesel.. equals 12l/100km. I got this car not so long ago, so now i try to investigate as much as...

Hello My father has a Mercedes 190E 2.0 (engine type: 1026). He needs to fit a new Fuel Distributor-Air intake device. However, he just can't fathom how to do it. A little pipe needs to be attached at the bottom (see picture). This is the main cause of the difficulty. Any help would be...

hi, in my 1994 e320 this is fuse number 11. It also says Gearbox Oil Cooler. I have not long had the car and realised the 8a fuse is not in place. i have a spare in the box but wondered what is NOT happening whilst its missing? would someone have left it out for a specific reason. any...

anyone here have a custom intake in their C-class C280 benz? any pics ot show us how it looks? thanks

Whilst washing the car today I notice that air-inlet vent on the bonnet was collecting water (on the passenger side). It looks like it is blocked, but the driver's side is okay. Any one knows how to unblock the passenger's side (or does it drain off the driver's side on the W210 facelift)?

Can somebody tell me what the difference is betwween the C class's. Under the front bumber is an air intake. Some have just mesh while others have one or even two colour coded strips going going across the gap, sorry about the description, but not sure of the correct terms. So what do the...

Ive read on other mb forums that a a fairly cheap and effective mod you can do to your c32 is to replace your air intake pipes to those from the SL55, you could even go further i read, and even replace both air boxes too. Hp gain is 5/7hp. Can anyone confirm this ?? thanks

Hi, I spotted a thread on Benzworld about HKS induction kits for c36. I asked if anyone had experience of such a mod. I have a K&N on our Pug, sounds great, I dont think it actually added any power, but it sounds faster. A guy answered saying that he had one on both his c36 and then...

Seems like a cool idea ;) A novel use of a fire extinguisher,I like the name of the system cryo2.Seems like a resonably cheap means of power increase though cryo tecnologycryo2 I wonder if it will catch on,Anyone interested yet?

Has anyone got any pictures or schematics of the Variable Intake Manifold that Mercedes use on the V6/V8s? Cheers

If this has already been spoken about on the forum could you send the thread? Came across a topic on the web, how to increase your bhp with out remapping or chipping the ECU. This little devise is a piggyback box containing a resistor; it connects to the Intake Air Temperature sensor. Basically...
