I have managed to find a company in the states that manafacture manifolds (headers) and light crankshaft pulleys for the 55 n/a engine.

The power gains are around 20-30BHP if both mods are done. The difference is very noticeable and the car revs much freeer.

The pulleys and manifolds also fit C43's too as they are basicly the same.

I will try and get a discount if we can buy a few sets.

The manifolds have a standard price of about $1100USD and the Pulleys are about $600USD.

If anyone is interested I will contact them and ask for a discount for multiple purchases.

List below

Hi Olly,
That sounds a pretty good price considering what CKS want for the same bits.
Am I right in saying that the pulley would also fit the 112 V6 engine too?
Have you any pictures of the manifolds? I take it they are manufactured for a RHD car as I nearly bought a set of Kleeman manifolds before, and realised they would,nt fit my car as it was RHD.
Put me down for a set (dependant on final delivery price), will ring you in the next day or two Olly.

Dont forget VAT, customs duty and shipping charges.

Yes. the pulley will fit a 112 engine

I will check the RHD spec.
 
Olly:Please ask if they can do headers for w124 3.2
 
Olly

What company you dealing with ? eurocharged?
Are they LET pulleys?

thanks acid
 
Neither of them.

They are called AMS I have been in contact with them already.

Is that SC pulley or Crankshaft?
 
AMS also do crankshaft pulleys for the M104 C280 and E36 engines. I enquired about this last year and back then it was $299, seems like its gone up in price too now.
 
hmmmm..Remap = 25 bhp ish, £117.50 £4.70 per BHP... New manifold etc £1100 ish 25 ish BHP = £44.00 per bhp..

Not sure the value is there for me to invest in that...

May get me close to 400bhp though which would be good...

It is not just about the power increase. The manifolds give a better noise and the pulley makes the engine so much more eager to rev and makes it more responsive.
 
I would be interested for the headers but see at the price as I intended to spend the £1k on the kleemann ones.

Hi,
Have you had quote for them yet as you "may" change your mind when you do
 
Even though I'm not going to benefit at all from this thread, I thought i'd show the n/a 55 AMG owners how they could benefit:

YouTube - E55 AMG V8 W210 Vs BMW M5 V8 E39 *Don't forget to watch in high quality* W210 E55 vs E39 M5

YouTube - LJUNGWALD's Channel 0-200kmh in 16.9 secs, You will notice he has a chip upgrade, his rev limiter is set to 6.4k rpm.

YouTube - LJUNGWALD's Channel And this is a sound video

All from the same guy, only thing is his headers are KLEEMANN headers. Watching his vids makes me want to buy the W210 E55 if i'm honest. :)
