KLEEMANN Newsletter - New Low Boost Kompressor System for V6

KLEEMANN introduces the Low Boost Kompressor

Since its introduction, the KLEEMANN Kompressor System has been regarded as the most efficient tuning solution for Mercedes-Benz available on the market. It has proven to be both reliable and very durable. The patented Kompressor System, with its integrated intercooler and manifold, has over the years become a synonymous with the KLEEMANN brand. Now KLEEMANN introduces a new version of the Kompressor System: The KLEEMANN Low Boost Kompressor. The new system is based on the existing Kompressor System but is reconfigured in three key areas:

1.The integrated intercooler has been removed.
2. Boost has been reduced.
3. Fuel injectors replace the pressure regulator system.

Reduced boost - reduced price.
The objective of being able to offer a Kompressor System at a significantly lower price than the existing system has been obtained with the Low Boost system. Boost pressure has been reduced from 0,45 bar to 0,30 bar. Omission of the intercooler the system and simplifying the fuel system allows for an approximate 25% reduction in the retail price.

The Low Boost Kompressor is now available for the 3,2 litre V6 (M112) engine and under development for the rest of the V6 engine programme. Even with the lower boost and intercooler omission an engine equipped with the Low Boost Kompressor System will never lack power. With no further modifications power out put from the V6 engine is 280 Hp @ 6000 rpm and the maximum level of torque is 360 Nm @ 2000 rpm.

Prepared for more - future upgrades.
The Low Boost Kompressor system can be upgraded with the intercooler system at a later date, giving customers flexibility. Larger fuel injectors will be fitted and the boost can be increased for the full 331 Hp @ 6000 rpm and 441 Nm of torque @ 2000 rpm.

V8 version available later this year
By late fall 2005 a V8 version of the Low Boost Kompressor system will be introduced to the market, first to be seen on the 5.0 litre V8.

Just curious how the automatic tranny holds up to the lighter increase of the non intercooled version?


Thanks in advance and congratulations.

 

I thought the MB auto was considered much stronger than the manual. Which is why the SRT-6 is auto only.

I don't think they modified the tranny for the SRT-6, but I could be wrong.

 

I emailed Kleemann asking about the price, here's their response:

sounds like a nice system, but the price is still outrageous.
0.45 bar = 6.5 psi, and 0.30 bar = 4 psi, if i did my math right.

 

If only I had $7,000 (5 700 €)
It would be really nice!

 

It's getting better all the time. I wonder does it include an ecu flash upgrade? It must, right? $7000.00 bucks is still a lot of money for 65 HP...approx. $108.00 per HP.

 

This sounds like its right up my alley. I think 280 hp in this car would put it in the 13's.

 

Interesting. Supercharged and approx 275-280 hp. Wasn't that the original spec of the pre-production model? We may finally get there. Did the Kleeman rep happen to give you warranty info on the parts/labor?

For 7k I think it's worth it to have a car with performance could that finally match the looks ;-) On a limited you'd have a definite 'sleeper'. Plus you get the deployable spoiler. Reminds me if the original Taurus SHO I had (with the Yamaha built V6). I remember keeping up neck and neck with a few automatic vettes at the time...I loved watching their jaws drop as they looked over and saw me still there! hahahahaha!!!

 

So how much would the intercooler upgrade cost?

 

The Kleemann web site states that the "low boost kompressor" is about 25% less than their full blown supercharger, so that puts the cost of the full system at $8,667 without labor. Something tells me that it's actually more expensive than that. I think it would be cheaper to get someone to do a custom low PSI turbo/supercharger, like the one that mounts in the exhaust pipe (I forget the name of it).
