MKB High Performance Engineering.


Acceleration with no ifs or buts.

Since 1991 our engines have been delighting customers all around the world. Customers who

share our passion for cars and think like we do: that uncompromisingly high performance can

only be achieved where costs are not the driving aspect of engineering. Our progressive

technology, our development and our visions are not limited by cold-hearted cost controlling;

they are rather constantly being driven forward by the passion we all share.That’s acceleration

with no ifs or buts.

Together with our customers we open up the full potential of modern automobiles, by

consistently applying high-performance technology.Thereby, you - the customer - are our

driving force.Your dream is what drives us.The result is individual objects with the highest

possible quality and unbeatable performance.

Of course this has a price. Because we care

about individuality and quality – not quantity.

Our aim is not to maximise sales output.

Consequently, every MKB car is something

very special.Which brings us to the point.

MKB.Your Dream is our Drive.

MKB. High Performance Engineering.

Outstanding results are achieved whenspecialists work with passion and commitment on something that is strongest from the start.

The 680 hp coming from the V8 5.5 lcompressor engine for example. Or thepatented G-Liner-Tec® technology, classictuning or supercharging technology. Butalways with one common feature: no endof power and fun.

Because in the centre of attention is thepropulsion: engines, transmissions and

differentials.That is what we define ourselves with: Performance Engineering.The automobiles of our customers are tuned up according to that basic principle.High performance, outstanding dynamismand an absolute sporty character in everysingle detail.And this is not somethingnew.We can look back on a long tradition.

Our uncompromising passion to makedreams becoming true, allows the creation of something unique.It is your individual automobile with plenty of power.

Your Dream is our Drive.

The sporty appearance of the

MKB RS/E follows the need,

always to search for the maximum:

680hp and 900Nm require wide

wheels, a tail wing and diffuser for

high downforce and special vents to

manage the increased heat of the

engine. Design follows performance.

Technical leadership in the tuning scenecannot be claimed only by hp-statements.It is the proven technical ability to movethe performance characteristics of an excellent car into the field of supersportscars.

Technical leadership in the tuning scenecan only be achieved by a consequent investment in manpower and skills. In ateam of passionate, ambitious individualswho share one aim - not to be overtaken.

15 years of top performance

with the most progressive technology.

MKB is concentrating exclusively on the technical upgrading of excellent automobiles.This is not since yesterday but since 1991 thedaily work.

With extensive engineering experience fromthe DTM and aerospace-technology as astart-up capital, MKB became the driving force in the Mercedes tuning scene. Over the years, the creativity and the innovative solution finding ability leads to the uniqueHigh Performance Engineering which characterises MKB.The technical solutionspresented by MKB are resulting by deepknow-how.

No matter if it is about big displacement normal aspirating engines or highly efficientsupercharging systems, or using the potentials of aerodynamics and thermo-dynamics, or optimising the electronic management of engine and gearbox – withMKB you are on the right track.

The variety of products with the typical lead in performance complies with the striving to top results.This navigation by performance is what MKB engineers sharewith MKB customers.We like to overtake,not to be overtaken.

MKB modifications are a clear commitmentto a life style which is stamped by dynamismand sportive character.That is why many MKBenthusiasts are regularly seen on the racetrack.

Others are restricted to superficial changes.We made all our homework and we dive deep into the sophisticated powertrain of your Mercedes automobile: this results in a power gain of up to 204 hp or 43% relative to the civil edition of the standard car. However, this is only recommendablein conjunction with a complete matching of all components involved, i.e.mechanical enforcement of the gearbox, locking differential and adaptation ofthe electronic motor management. Only so, it is possible for the componentsto withstand the enormous power and to transmit it to the street in a controllable manner.

Propulsion

MKB Powertrain Technology. Propulsion with no compromise.

The Basis of MKB.

The Performance Gain of the entire Powertrain.

Real technical innovation is expressed by dealing and understanding more than only one subject-matter.The MKB engine know-how in classical tuning of normal aspirating engines, supercharging technologyand in electronic engine management as well as the matching of all components of the powertrain lead to one answer to many desires:MKB High Performance Engineering.


You apply the pressure.

It’s other people who are under pressure.You’ve got where you always wanted to be. Right at the front.

The MKB engines offer driving pleasure in a class of its own.You glide smoothly on a great torque wave or you can enjoy a wild top-speed chase on the motorway without any serious competition.And between these two very different modes of propulsion there isonly a tiny move of the throttle pedal. The slightest pressure istranslated into merciless acceleration – if you so wish.

Apart of the big 5.5 l V8 engines there are also very convincing MKBupgrades available based on the latest Mercedes 4 cylinder engines(M271) on various tuning stages from 191 hp to 240 hp.

The MKB Engines

based on Mercedes compressor engines

Like the heart of a lion.With every beat it pumps life strengththrough the body to over a hundred kilograms of muscles and distributes pure adrenaline for the hunt. It provides the basis for extreme high performance.

We have followed nature’s example: if you want outstanding power,then we must ensure that the heart volume under the hood of yourcar is as large as possible.

The G-liner-Tec® engine block provides the space for genuine 6.2 litre engine capacity and a hitherto unachieved performance potential on the basis of normal aspirated engines. G-liner-Tec® isalso the basis for a torque rate reached by only few intake engines.The top performance is achieved by optimised airflow.The G-liner-Tec® engine is derived from the V8 Mercedes engines of the M113 series.

MKB big displacement Engines

Breathing freely and deeply is a very good relaxation exercise.Proper breathing means high performance. It is indispensable for relaxed mobility.This means you don’t need to look in the rear-viewmirror on the motorway.These tuning kits are trimmed to the highest efficiency and thusprovide the engine with a maximum supply of fresh air.The in-housedeveloped camshafts and intake airflow parts make the engine breathe properly.The MKB exhaust system with s/s exhaust manifolds, high performance catalytic converters and enlarged tube diameters improve the exhaust flow. Because breathing out properlyis just as important as breathing in.

The offered spectrum is covering almost the whole Mercedes engine programme. For example we offer for the latest V8 engine(M273) a remarkable output of 460 hp. Sporty 306 hp are providedby the kit MKB 35/6 based on the latest V6 engine (M272) with thefirst tuning stage. Of course, this is not the last one.

Electronic

What was invented by Rudolph Diesel at the beginning of the 20. centurywas brought to its full potential by the German car manufacturers at the endof this century.And today MKB pushes this technology to its individual performance limit with a research and development which is typical for MKB.

MKB left the easy path. Soon it was clear that it will be not a sufficient meansto change a chip or use an auxiliary ECU for reaching the MKB goal: Highpower output without spoiling the durability or emissions control. Only withcorrect information the engine control unit will open the full potential of theengine.The MKB software changes powerful Mercedes CDI engines into realMKB high performance powerplants.

State of the art flash technology allows transferring the MKB software intothe standard Mercedes ECU. Keep it simple.And this is the right way of upgrading the power in the eyes of any professional engineer.

A special MKB know how in mechanics and electronics makesthe difference: MKB RD6. Fast. Durable.And without any visuable particle emission.

Especially made for engineswith big intercoolers: MKBRS/E front spoiler for theMercedes E-Class.

The MKB centre of technology and sports: Right here the MKBsoftware calculates the perfect injection time, duration andboost pressure.

At the top of the torque.

There’s no sense in high performance if itdoesn’t get to where it is needed: in touchwith the road. That is why MKB has a longhistory of optimising the whole powertrain.At MKB we don’t just improve the engine;we apply the same high performance standards to the whole transmission systemand differentials. Of course not to be paidby additional weight or loss in comfort.

The combination of mechanically strengthened MKB transmission and theelectronic control unit creates a completely

new feeling when you drive. Engine andtransmission are matched together harmoniously to ensure you glide smoothlyor to allow you fast, accurate gear changingand a secure feeling when you wish to getthe most out of your car: safety that feelsright and lasts.The increased performance means higherstrain on the differential.We offer a numberof solutions. Mechanical MKB self-lockingdifferentials provide more traction, differentaxle transmission ratios for more topspeed, more acceleration or more relaxation – just as you wish.

MKB Brake systems – Hold on!

If you are one of the fastest you must be able to stop fast too, whether onthe road or the racetrack – and repeatedly.

Depending on your car and your individual driving style we will advise you toa suitable brake system.The brake systems are a combination of extremelyheat-resistant high-tech materials derived from racing technology and of original Mercedes parts.These MKB brakes provide plenty of performancemargins for plenty of safety and driving fun. Fading, delay and vibration areunknown to them.

Aerospace-Know-how for the Road.

MKB aerodynamic body kits are different due to their outstanding standardof sportive functionality and offer both attractive design and exclusivity.

The combination of front bumper, side sills and rear diffuser and tail wing/lipmakes sure that at motorway speed the right amount of air always gets tothe underside of the car – providing the right balance of sufficient downwardpressure to ensure safest possible handling together with an impressive topspeed of over 300 km/h in combination with MKB engines.Plus the aerodynamics ensure the right temperature for the components under the most thermal strain: engine, brakes, transmission and differentialare all cooled efficiently.

MKB Aerodynamics

is visible Technology.

The aerodynamics must work reliable in view of the

reached speeds, at which aircrafts are retracting their

landing gears. Here too, first we rely on the calculations

and measures in the wind tunnel and then on the feeling

of our designer.

To Round it all off. Sporty and Functional.

There is another part of the car which has to be just as functional and aerodynamically balanced: the MKB aluminium wheels.

With their special shape they combine properties which make a sportywheel something very special: optimum brake cooling through efficient airopenings, low air resistance due to the flattened wheel disc, low weight andhigh stability from the combined aluminium-titanium-steel construction.

Uncompromisingly engineered.

The MKB Alpha III Wheel.

The special shape of the Alpha III

wheel allows the fitting of bigger
