Marquis its Carl! Did you ever call mike(waveykat)?
Welp, DriveAutoWorks said they can't come up with a solution so I'm going to have the car towed to Powerhaus Performance since they do in house custom dyno tuning. Seems that the eurocharged tune messed up my ecu and that's why it's running like crap. Won't be able to get it there until Thursday but I talked with them on the phone for a while and I'm confident I have finally found the right place to help me fix this nightmare.
Sent the car to a recommended Benz master tech (thanks a lot Carl) and he was able to tell me what's wrong. Need a new supercharger. If anyone has a spare they're willing to sell or knows anyone with a slk32 kompressor that I can buy it would be greatly appreciated.
So, what is wrong? I run the new 550cc injectors and an EC tune without any issues. What did you do the supercharger that you need a new one?
Didn't touch the supercharger at all. Just installed my new 65mm supercharger pulley, HE, IC pump, headers and sent my ecu out to get unlocked and have the reflash and that's when it started running horribly once i put the ecu back in. Had it towed to two shops and neither of them could get it running. Swapped out everything (spark plugs, injectors, etc) for brand new parts and still wouldn't run. Took it to the recommended benz master tech and he got it running within a day but the supercharger won't engage because it's frozen he said so that's all I need now.

When installing sc pulley did he use the spacers or not, maybe the rivits r touching the sc and not letting it spin
Do u know what ur iat are, may IC pump not working wired right, so then sc wouldn't work, I'm trying to think of what I can
I know the fuse for IC pump is in the trunk, hope this helps u out

So, what exactly did he do to get it running again?
Regarding the SC, remove the pulley and see if the shaft is spinning. If it is, check the electrical connections on the clutch relay.

We've tried everything, he's done quite a few engine swaps...did a c32 in a c320, e55 in a c43 and a few more so if he says the supercharger is frozen it's frozen lol there's nothing else mechanically wrong, the car runs there's just no power because the supercharger isn't engaging so once I get a new one I'll have all of these 400+ ponies again.

There's nothing wrong with the pulley, it's the supercharger itself...it won't engage so the car is sluggish and there's no power.

Didn't say there was anything wrong with the pulley. Just was asking if the SC shaft is spinning freely. It is premature to look for a replacement SC if the only problem is that it is not engaging. It may just be the SC clutch relay or a fuse. What was fixed on the car by the last tech? Which shop did you take it last?

Doesn't spin can't turn the bolt to the left nor right. Last tech installed all the eurocharged parts and car ripped right through 1st and 2nd so there wasn't a problem at all it's weird how this happened out of nowhere. Last shop it was at was Drive Auto Works. Went back to stock injectors and cleaned off the valve covers. Car ran good for one block then went right back to the same ole way it was before I brought it to them.

Where the car is now,the mechanic is completely thorough and meticulous. The issue with Marq's car was pretty elementary for Jeffrey to figure out. The two other shops could not even figure it out which only had Marq spend more money! There are several guys on here with modified benz's and BMW's who ultimately find out about Jeffrey after spending tons of money and their cars run better than before.
Jeffrey put a C32 engine in waveykats C320, a V12 TT in v12Godspeeds W211 E55, Fixed another 500+whp E55k car owned by a former member on this forums car who took the car to several shops including the dealer to fix, (the dealer was calling Jeffrey to find out how he fixed the car ) and two c43's with 5.4ll swaps. These are only a few examples on the resume of the guy who is working on Marq's car. This same mechanic owns and built a turbocharged C36 544whp(1 of 2 in the US),built a turbocharged Porsche 968 turbo (3.0l 4 dohc which only comes N/A in the States over 500whp) has a standalone ecu like the C36,and recently purchased a 2k1 modded Porsche 911turbo which will be modded further. Finally was one of the builders of a low 12 second E36 n/a M3 which is a car that is widely know on Bimmerforums,Trust me Marq you're in good hands!! He is the head mechanic of a very popular MB dealer out here in the state of NY. They have sent this guy to Germany for school several times to be updated on All the latest MB mechanics. He is the only mechanic who touches my car!
Sorry about the long winded response!

I still don't know what Jeffrey did to fix this C32. But I agree. An experienced MB mechanic with access to the STAR system is key when working with these cars. I've been with my current shop for 10 years already. I've seen a C32 engine go into a CLK320 and I know it is not trivial. I just can't believe how someone can mess up a simple job like swapping the injectors, spark plugs and wires. I've done this exact job myself and changed the entire fueling system and I'm really a software guy.
I still don't understand the current problem. If the pulley doesn't spin, then what happens when the SC clutch engages? Shouldn't the belt be trying to spin the SC pulley? In any event, good luck Marquis. If I hear of anyone selling their SC, I'll let you know.

I'm not a Benz mechanic but I do have mechanical skills All I can say is that it is possible the kompressor was on its way out perhaps engaging intermittently to finally just seizing would be my guess. At the end of the day I'm sure Marquis will know what happened. However I can guarantee Jeffrey will have his car back to speed. A lot of guys on this forum know Jeffrey, not nut swinging but his knowledge and work speaks for itself.I have seen some cars come to Jeffrey that appeared hopeless, flooded cars modded cars you name it he's fixed it. It's hard to find a mechanic like this guy but we'll soon find out everything
I am hoping to have Jeffrey put a 55k kompressor on my present motor once I get all the parts. PS so far I have seen Jeffrey build at least 5 c32's,from complete engine rebuild to troubleshooting .
Lenin you have some nice mods on your car hopefully we can all get together and head to one of the car shows Marquis has mentioned_

JEFF IS THE MAN!!! Swapped out the supercharged because somehow the clutch locked up (still haven't found the cause), and she runs great!! Exhaust is extremely loud!! Thanks once again Carl for the referral!!!

No worries my dude.just glad youre back in order and that you can enjoy your car. At least you'll be ready for the car show but I say put on two performance mufflers back there. Here are the two types I have
Bike rack on, pick up my vintage schwinn road bike tomorrow. Going to get a final checkup with the master tech sometime this week before I cruise up to Eurocharged to get the ecu tuned and see about more shims as the clearance seems too small.
Wheels on today, doing the ECU tune tomorrow and then I'll be heading to Brooklyn Friday morning to get a final checkup with Jeff and then get started on the next project...demon eyes for the projectors. Might also get carbon fiber trim and a custom shroud. Will send update tomorrow.
