WDB1240361B508841 Albrex supercharged

[500AMM]

When I bought my supercharged 6.0 back in 2007 did a copy of a Fahrzeugbrief for another supercharged 500E 5.0L follow the stack of papers. My guess is that this copy was used as a reference during technical approval of my car when it was supercharged in 1996.

The VIN is WDB1240361B508841 and it doesn't come up searching here on the forum. The Fahrzeugbrief has several signatures and dates, but my guess it is an early 1991. I have no further information about the car and where it was back then.

So a standard 500E with the Albrex had 288 KW / 391 PS? Neat!

We should ask @Ntrepid to organize an Albrex Replica Group Buy

Just for information:
On page 3 or B in the Fahrzeugbrief under point 33 Bemerkungen, it is written Albert Kompressorumbau... which is a misprint and should be Albrex.
Albert kompressors by ATMOS is for other purposes;

391 hp is a 20% increase upon the 326 hp European version (pre-facelift) and from what I have picked up it is a realistic number even at 0,35 bar. That low boost is also of cruisal importance to keep the M119 alive when still using the Bosch LH, but low comp pistons is needed although. I think Albrex added a unit for fuel enrichment, but I have no info about that and he won't tell if you contact him, it is a business secret.

Based on photos of other supercharged M119 with LH-SFI, I believe Albrex used a piggyback controller for a separate 9th fuel injector to add fuel under boost conditions. It might be something he developed and is understandably not wanting to open-source the design.
