Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI — Mishimoto intercooler and power test
A 2005 E320 CDI with a Mishimoto intercooler and EDC16C31 was dyno-tested after ECU calibration.
This 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI with an automatic transmission arrived after a larger Mishimoto intercooler had been fitted. Another workshop had installed the intercooler and charge-air plumbing, and changes had also been made to the control settings. AutoChip calibrated the engine ECU and checked the car on a dyno.
The video title lists a result of up to 276 hp and 832 Nm. The narration says the engine warmed up over repeat runs, with later readings of approximately 270 hp and 810 Nm. A completely factory-standard setup could not be measured on the dyno, so these figures cannot be treated as a direct comparison with an entirely stock car.
Data logs were used to check turbocharger and fuel-system operation. The technician said that further power increases would require additional turbocharger and fuel-system changes. Engine temperature protection limits were retained so the ECU could reduce output if preset temperatures were exceeded.
