Centrifugal supercharging


Has anyone had any experience with cetrifugal superchargers Vortec on the M-B V6's. BMW seems to have benefitted from them greatly. Think it would be a great mod especailly on my 2.5 V6 or even the anemic C240's. Way cheaper than upgrading to a C350.

You should move to Singapore where the cars cost about 5X more.

you see, in asia, a cars drivetrain/luxury tax is calculated according to the cars liters and displacement.

you'll see that in asia, most cars are 1.8TURBO 2.0 SUPERCHARGED rarely 3.2, 3.5 especially in hong kong, the W203 coupes come in C180, C200, and C230k which is their biggest engine for the CL203s.

hes saying that "turbos" and "supercharge" are used on small liter cars and they benifit from that, especially singapore which is in asia lol

Only possible on the W202 C-Class or W208 CLK or W210 E. W203 engine bay is way too small to fit the mounting bracket. You need room to fit the parts into the engine bay, hence a larger engine bay like in the older chassis. HOP makes a centrifugal supercharger kit for the 202, 208, and 210 chassis.
