Forummembers who did the CLK55/E55 engine swap, I would like to pick your minds about this modification.
I have found a 09/2001 engine, it's the updated engine with electronics version ME2.8/EGS52
My C43AMG is manufactured in December 1998 as an 1999 year model comes with ME2.0/EGS51 module.
I will use ME2.0/EGS51 module with my new engine.
I spoke with my mechanic Güru about this mod, he is really into this cool thing to help me out doing this modification to my car.
Here are my questions:
# What year was your donor engine and from which car did it come from either CLK55 or E55?
# What engine parts from C43 did you move over to the new 55 engine?
Did you move over to your new engine: C43 Injectors, lower oilpan, wireloom, throttlebody, starter, generator
What else did you move over?
# Did you keep stock C43 ecu without a tuneup letting it adapt to your new engine or did you do a 55 re-flash?
There are not many ecu tuners in Sweden that I know about, if I have to do this ecu tuneup for better response /fuel consumption, who is the best tuner company recommended for doing this job?
How much is a tuneup?
# I'm concerned about abnormal fuel consumption if I do this 55AMG engine swap if I use the wrong supplied injectors from either C43 injectors or the E55 injectors?!
Under normal driving conditions, how far do you get on 62L full tank?
Under heavy load does fuel consumption increase a lot MORE with 55AMG engine compared to C43 engine?
I like to drive hard with my car as it is now with stock engine, the fuel needle drops very fast.
What will it be with a 55AMG engine, will fuel needle drop even faster?
I apprechiate your feedback.
Please tell me your Positive and negative experiance with this engine modification?
Thanks
