c230_617 what is that; i just had a question and i was wondering if it was worth the time and money to upgrade to a super or turbo

respdoc

Yea, it's him..

CitronC230K_03

m-benzw203

they think you're a troll-reincarnate. :v

Various checks inconclusive at this point, guys. Give him the benefit of a doubt until we see the talltale patterns (behind the scenes).

I don't think that is the idea you want to give people. You probably can bolt on the Lysholm twin screw supercharger from a C32, but getting the system to work right will be a major headache and will end up costing just as much as Kleeman if not more $. So, it might work, but it won't be easy and it won't be cheap. I've already talked to someone who added the Lysholm supercharger from an e55 to his NA CLK55 engine. He basically said for money, he wouldn't have gotten the e55 supercharger, and would have Kleemanized it instead because of computer issues and too much boost with the AMG kit. You also have to consider reliability and drivability issues, so going with Kleeman or motor swap is still a better idea.

No problemo, Bob. As always, I'll take your guys' lead.

In a motor swap you will also have issues with the computer but i belive you can put a turbo easier then a supercharger
You can add nos for a lot less and i dont think you will have problems

valdes

anyone put nos in a C class?

so what im getting from u guy's is just to by a C32 or C55 instead of supercharging my c320. i love my c320 and just wanted to enhance it. by the way how much more power would a turbo or super give. what is the best way of putting more power without spending a lot.

Take a test drive in an SL65 and get that bug out of your system. There is no such thing as a powerful upgrade for a low price with no messing around.

If Mercedes could do it .... they would surely do it and sell it.

If your going to supercharge or turbocharge your current car, its going to cost you quite a bit ethier way. But if your talking about minor modifications such as pulley kit, ecu, aftermarket exhaust, and green filter(theres alot more), just STFF.

CitronC230K_03

i dont think power is cheap. you can do an ECU upgrade and stuff like that.

Superchargers have a couple of advantages. They are quickness, simple maintenance, and easy installation. Their disadvantages are uses Hp to compress the air and intercoolers are not so effective.

Turbochargers have a couple of advantages. They are driven by exhaust heat (not the wind coming from your tailpipe.) The turbo lowers the exhaust heat by about 300 degrees. This was heat you were throwing away, so there is no Hp used by the "turbolader" itself. Turbos have a couple of disadvantages. It takes them a moment to "wind up" to 100,000 rpm. This is turbo "lag" and is noticable if you start at idle. If you are already doin' 60, the trip to 120 is exciting. Just don't get the "teabag" caught in the five way harness, yeow! Turbos also have a severe maintenance problem with that bearing in the oil circuit. The bearing makes it own coke, but not the kind you can drink. There is also the problem with exhaust gasses passing through the waste gate. Ugly is about all you can say about that.

My choice is a turbo, just 'cause the whine is so much more pleasurable.

The advice earlier in the thread to just buy the AMG model is sterling. They are Superchargers in the C55, but at the highest form of the art. You will save money because you get the brakes, tires, wheels, styling, and bragging rights of an AMG.

The first German customer to ride in the C55 saw the sticker price and declared:

Auch, Mein God! and the name AMG was established.

Outland

Turbos are FAR MORE WORK than a supercharger. They require custom fab'd manifolds, the heat the turbo makes placement critical, and the amount of tuning required is far more extensive than any supercharger.

Outland

The intercoolers are are no different from Turbos. They are just as effective on Superchargers. A hot charge on a turbo car will detonate just as easily.

The supercharger does require a large portion of the HP it adds just to run the blower. That, and the instant boost, are the biggest differences compared to the Turbo performance.

Sell your car and get a motorcycle.
You'll have a lot more fun

Tri Turbo Diesles!!?? thought the new 420 cdi and 320 cdi were twin turbo diesels

m-benzw203

i do want to get a bike,but my girl wont let me is eigther the bike or her. she says she doesn't want to see me hert. of course ill have here

respdoc

Hopefully "here" has an English grammar and composition book you can borrow..

nlpamg

perhaps you're being a little too harsh... you don't want to "hert" his feelings now do you? I think "eigther" way, it's a tad bit much.

gaiex

Yes they are bi-turbo diesels, the SLK320CDI tri-turbo its a prototype, they had to inovate after BMW invented the bi-turbo on a in-line diesel, 535d!!!

LOLOLOOOOOOOOL
