Here at Blackboost we strive to make only the best, we are simply not interested in developing products that are just like any other. This is easy to see this when looking at our cold air intake system developed for the Mercedes W213 E63 AMG with it’s BiTurbo 4.0 twin turbo engine. Many innovations exist here that are simply not seen within the rest of the aftermarket, from the type of filters we use, to the level of complexity of our air box / heat shields, to the fully sealed design, to the vent to atmosphere blow off valve conversion and customized logo plate. Read below to see an itemized list of what makes our product superior to the rest:
AIR BOXES
The filter is only half the battle when designing this product, as maintaining nothing but cold air into the engine is equally important when it comes to an air intake system. Many companies claim to have cold air intake systems, but with air boxes that only go around half of the filter, it is obvious that there is still a massive amount of ultra hot air from the radiator entering the engine directly. The cooler the air that enters the engine, the higher the power, because cooler air is more dense, and having more air molecules entering the combustion chamber allows you to add more fuel, ultimately resulting in more power! Higher reliability is achieved also, as an engine running cooler is an engine less prone to knock causing detonation; a true engine killer! These engines are very sensitive and highly tuned German built machines, and the engineers at Mercedes would lose sleep at night knowing that hot air is entering their precious mechanical masterpiece of an engine. Our intake is designed with an airbox that fully isolates the filter from every single side, and incorporates a compressible rubber gasket on it’s upper edge to seal against the hood, guaranteeing that once the hood is closed absolutely zero hot engine bay air can enter the engine. One look at the complexity of the folds and shape of our airbox and it is easy to see why nobody else has made a fully sealed design, while simultaneously using such a large filter.. With many bends and edges formed to match the ultra-tight space available, the engineering that has gone into these assemblies is quite complex and in depth. Even we have gone the extra length to add compound long radius bends into the process of manufacturing the inlet areas, so the factory inlet tubes fit with a tight seal, assuring that no hot engine bay air leaks inside. This airbox is entirely designed in 3D CAD software, laser cut, CNC bent, and professionally TIG welded all by highly skilled craftsmen. Utilizing aircraft grade 6061 Aluminum, and finished with a highly durable and heat resistant black textured powdercoating, it is easy to see that staying lightweight, maintaining the lowest temperatures and also having the highest quality is our greatest concern.
VENT TO ATMOSPHERE BLOW OFF VALVE
With this intake system, unlike many other companies, we choose to simply eliminate the factory recirculating blow off valve, and allow the blow off valves to vent to the open atmosphere. This is a major advantage when you consider that every time the factory system recirculates air back into the front of the turbo using the Blow off Valve, it is actually sending ultra hot post-turbo compressed air back into the inlet, creating a large increase in air intake temperatures every time you release the throttle, or during shifts. By eliminating this factory recirculation, your air intake temperatures lower and your cooling system stay cooler as well. Additionally we included a shield that protects your air filter from the repeated blasts of air into the airbox from these blow off valves. This is a mistake that Mercedes made from the factory on earlier E63s, destroying filters. It is a mistake that was corrected on later models, but still earlier vin numbers are plagued by this issue from the factory. Fortunately this protective barrier is something we include as standard on our kit. You also get the added benefit of having an awesome Wooshing Blow off valve sound, something that often people will pay for as an added option, however it is standard on our intake system.
BMC FILTERS
We utilize BMC air filters, with the best filtration ability of any other company in the world, companies like Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche are known to use BMC in certain factory applications. You cannot have the best intake without having the best filters, and the Italian made BMC filter brand is at the top of the filter food chain. They filter an incredible 7 micron size particle, factory paper filters can only achieve 10 microns. The physical size of our filters are the largest available from any company on the market giving you a significantly higher surface area for filtration. The particular BMC filter we choose to use is a twin air design, meaning there is an additional set of filter elements in the front of the filter, giving even more available flow than would otherwise be offered. When you consider that BMC filters are already the best, and additionally we are using larger filters with more surface area than any other company, it is easy to see why greater performance is the obvious outcome in such a scenario, as we achieve higher flow!
In Conclusion, It is obvious why a Blackboost intake system is the best choice for your precious E63 AMG Mercedes. With significant HP and TQ increases, the highest quality and flowing filter from BMC in Italy, the best sealing airboxes that keep all hot engine bay air out, ultra light weight TIG welded Aircraft grade 6061 aluminum construction, a textured black powder coated finish for excellent heat insulation and a classy look, a vent to atmosphere blow off valve conversion, a customizable logo plate, and even a highly competitive price, There simply is no better option!
