Testing for more POWER!!!!

EVOtech cars are always on the streets, highways, or at the track performing rigorous testing for more power.

One of the devices that we use while we are on the streets is the G-tech pro. Here's a short video clip inside the cabin of the infamous white devil Evotech EuroElites E55.




Here's a sample of the drag racing mode on G-tech pro

NOVEMBER 24th | Test & Tune

This coming November 24th, EuroElites will accompany couple of EVOtech AMGS to Sacramento raceway to run a series of datalogging tests.

All local 55 / 65 / 600 / 63 owners are invited.

One of the most important objective is to obtain the Intake Air Temperature for the forced induction AMGs while running the 1/4 mile; especially for the M113 K , commonly known as the 55 Kompressor.

Here's one solution to lower IATs for one of Evotech W211 E55 AMG race car.



Of course, the ultimate solution will be the "SLR coolers" !!!

Cheers

The ULTIMATE cooling package

The main problem with the 55 Kompressor Engines (M113) is heat! Although there are several aftermarket cooling package in the market for the 55 Kompressor engines, none are superior compare to the SLR top mount intercoolers.

Here are pictures of the SLR top mount intercoolers on a Mercedes E55 AMG.






Several aftermarket companies have tried to replicate the SLR cooling system but have stumbled roadblocks due to couple of factors, namely the air filter and the size of the coolers which must be trimmed down to fit the smaller engine bay in the Mercedes E55 AMG.

Here's some of the pictures, and a short video clip of the supercharged SLK 55.







Now listen to the SLK 55 roar!!

Time to put your car to the test!!!

After spending valuable resources in modifying your Porsche, BMW or Mercedes, the drag strip is the place to go to TEST your newly found horsepower. (besides the dyno)

Quote
A drag race is an acceleration contest from a standing start between two vehicles over a measured distance. The accepted standard for that distance is either a quarter-mile (1,320 feet) or an eighth-mile (660 feet). A drag racing event is a series of such two-vehicle, tournament-style eliminations. The losing driver in each race is eliminated, and the winning drivers progress until one driver remains.

These contests are started by means of an electronic device commonly called a Christmas Tree because of its multicolored starting lights. On each side of the Tree are seven lights: two small amber lights at the top of the fixture, followed in descending order by three larger LED lights, a green bulb, and a red bulb.

Two light beams cross the starting-line area and connect to trackside photocells, which are wired to the Christmas Tree and electronic timers in the control tower. When the front tires of a vehicle break the first light beam, called the prestage beam, the pre-stage light on the Christmas Tree indicates that the racer is approximately seven inches from the starting line.

When the racer rolls forward into the stage beam, the front tires are positioned exactly on the starting line and the stage bulb is lit on the Tree, which indicates that the vehicle is ready to race. When both vehicles are fully staged, the starter will activate the Tree, and each driver will focus on the three large amber lights on his or her side of the Tree.

Depending on the type of racing, all three large amber lights will flash simultaneously, followed four-tenths of a second later by the green light (called a Pro Tree), or the three bulbs will flash consecutively five-tenths of a second apart, followed five-tenths later by the green light (called a Sportsman, or full, Tree).

Two Separate performances are monitored for each run: elapsed time and speed. Upon leaving the staging beams, each vehicle activates an elapsed-time clock, which is stopped when that vehicle reaches the finish line. The start-to-finish clocking is the vehicle's elapsed time (e.t.), which serves to measure performance. Speed is measured in a 66-foot "speed trap" that ends at the finish line. Each lane is timed independently.

The first vehicle across the finish line wins, unless, in applicable categories, it runs quicker than its dial-in or index (see glossary). A racer also may be disqualified for leaving the starting line too soon, leaving the lane boundary (either by crossing the centerline, touching the guardwall or guardrail, or striking a track fixture such as the photocells), failing to stage, or failing a post-run inspection (in NHRA class racing, vehicles usually are weighed and their fuel checked after each run, and a complete engine teardown is done after an event victory).

EVOtech focus of the week: A gorgeous 2003 SL 55 AMG






Mercedes enthusiasts and strangers were awed by the beauty of this Mercedes SL 55 AMG. The paint was immaculate and there wasn't a single dirty spot on the car. The SL 55 was simply amazing....

The owner, Tony , a New York local loves his car and loves his Evotech ECU upgrade. Here's his testimonial.

"I have raced professionally in an NHRA Pro Class, and I know power.

A Mercedes update destoyed my power, and the EvoTech Custom software tune restored all the lost power plus a lot more, the car breaks the tires loose at will now, And it didn't even do that before the Mercedes Load limiter update was implimented!

A lot of people make claims, but what I got from a software tune alone was REAL power, for Real Drivers, I plan to do more EvoTech Mods! THANKS GUYS!!!
