How much HP at the crank will a CL-S gain with intake/headers/and exhaust mods? I would assume somewhere over the ~300 hp mark. So around 40 crank HP?

 

im not sure, but try the aluminum wing, that usually adds about 60 hp

 

Just curious.. dont 6cyl gain more HP with n/a bolt ons then a n/a 4cyl? i/h/e on my old 4 banger was like 15whp, tops

 

i hope no one posts anything educational in this thread...only because it can be found by searching.

 

there sure are a bunch of a$$holes around here....

try the search function. and welcome!

 

I'd say 40 with CAI, headers and lightweight crank pulley.

 

at crank i would say about 50-55hp...yes 6 cyns. does response better than 4 cyns. but due to the weight of our car, you wont feel a huge gain, but definetly smoother accelerlation.

and welcome to the forum

 

agree 100% on a$$ part

 

IHE I doubt it's 300 at the crank. A dyno with only those mods, maybe a few more only yeilds the 235hp range at the wheels. Unless you have a freak of nature like a few here do have.

 

To help clarify this a little more... A stock CLS will dyno at around 200whp, fuzzy's remark about "235hp" is Wheel Horse Power with i/h/e. So, you gain about 35 to the wheels. Not bad. On a CLS though, the exhaust part won't get you but a few ponies. Not worth it IMHO unless you just want the looks and sound from it.

EDIT: Welcome to AZ!

 

300 crank minus 20% drive train = 240 so close to 300 and every bit of 290

 

The coffee can exhaust gives people about 20hp...

The noise....an extra 10ph

 

I so have the urge to pull out the hammer today. Keep up the bullshit donkeys.

 

I was waiting for that.

 

for making a smart comment, WOW
i've seen alot worse on this forum... but do you... ban for smart comment

 

I would say you would be really close to 300 at the crank. Comptech has a dyno of an 01 CLs with headers and exhaust and it maxed out at 232 at the wheels. You figure the intake should be good for another 6-8 whp. That should translate to just around 300 hps at the crank.

I vote....Get a supercharger!

 

hey it's not cool to bash another or haven't you heard?

 

its not bashing, its joking... theres a difference
heres one for you too

 

yea, that probably wasnt a very smart idea....

 

Let it die man, before you DO get banned.

 

i know o2cls... but its whatever... some of the mega mods have power trips... for now on im going to be mr. serious

 

However, you'll definitely want to get at least want to get the headers first. The exhaust doesn't add much hp, but sure does sound nice I'm pretty sure that the supercharger comes with a Comptech Icebox though, so that's some money you could save on your intake if you choose to go that route. If you're not planning on going with the supercharger though, definitely get an intake and headers. You'll be happy you did

P.S.
welcome to Acurazine

 

there's good taste and poor taste. your joking was in poor taste. grow up and move along.

 

you know...after careful thought, if I ever got another CL, I would supercharge it firs, I regret not doing it to this one after looking back at how much money i've put in to it. But now its to late and has to many miles (longevity>performance)

 

sorry about that guys. sometimes i act like a jerk. i'll get some help for that and this thumb sucking thing i've got going on. peace out!

 

I don't know if it would be the first thing I do. I would still start out with the intake and headers. Then I'll go with the supercharger and pulley.

 

doh!! I figured I would already have all that stuff, but I'd go for a 6spd most likely, which means I'd have to buy all of it over again.

 

If you plan to go S/C, I'd just wait on the intake as it's included with the S/C.

 

 

True.

 

35whp is pretty impressive.. at least compared to like 15-20whp you'd net on a 4 banger

 

ok ok 35 whp with I/H/E uhhhh would the number go up if the header was comptech?? Because i thought comptech brings supposely 30 hp

 

I think I'm gonna get my car on a dyno just to see what I put down with every bolt on N/A. I'll post results in the dyno section.

 

Skip the exhaust, it's only worth a couple of ponies. Headers are where it's at. They all net about the same gain, but installing comptechs will give you a bigger woodie.

 

what kind of gains would there be on the cooling mods, and what mods are the cooling mods........I know im kind of hijacking this thread

 

It includes a radiator cap, fan switch and thermostat.

I would get thermoblock spacers from www.outlawengineering.com or excelerate. This will give you 3whp or just a total of 5hp. The other cooling mods from my understanding will help prevent hp loss at high temperatures. I think the other cooling mods help prevent about a 7 hp loss under hot temperatures. You only gain hp with TB spacers, but you retain the hp you have with the other cooling mods.

 

Lets see when i had my auto with H/I/E I dyno at 224 or so to the wheels. I think the cl stock does 198.

 

a stock CL or your stock CL?
