C43/CLK55 Conversion

[RemoLexi]

On my 97' C36 I want to say its ME2.0

All we did was code it to ignore faults via CAN from the ETC, since the type 6 was no longer there. That way, the ME didn't light up the check engine light causing me to fail emmisions test.

With the ETC coded out and removed, at that point you can swap any diff ratio you want, because I don't think ESP would be able to tell. Mine was an ASR car.

There's nothing measuring driveline speed, I believe traction control only focuses on the yaw rate sensor and looks to see if any of the 4 wheels are fluctuating speed.

So again, Beckman can provide the custom coding to teach your ME 2.0 to ignore ETC communication as well as 5.4l mapping. Once you achieve that, you can slap any diff you want and any transmission that you can fit.

Zayed,
I trial fitted the CLK55 mufflers they do fit however not sure if the tips would be too high for C43 bumper.

CLK55 uses a #202 radiator that combines trans cooler on right side, these have been known to fail in the 2002 - 2006 MB, I am not sure if this is susceptible to the same problems. It looks like I could run the cooler lines and radiator in the C43.

Yes Paul, CLK55 rear muffler needs a little twist & top rubber mount bracket job to fit, soo easy,,

CLK55 uses exactly the same C43 Radiator, but with C43 will not need the cooler holes for cool the trans.....

97 may got ME1.0, isn't....??

ZAYED,,

Thanks Remo,
So there could well be an easy way out for the manual setup on the C43!!, I will definitely have a chat with Beckman!

Cheers,
