Something Slow

"Hi waveykat,
"""I don't know exactly what is needed to complete the C320 to C32 supercharger conversion. These are only the main or most essential parts. As I stated in the listing, some of the other items needed will be an intercooler, ECU (computer), and possibly the engine harness. I have never done the conversion but there are guys who have. Honestly, I don't know how comfortable I am with merchandise pickups at my residents. Where are you located?""""
i wonder if u do this install right will it have an affect on the engine with in a few years??? i know the C32 AMG and the C320 carries the same engine but i heard that the Internal parts Are different/Stonger. <------ thats the scary Part ... i dont want within a few months internal parts wearing out..

It would if I could pull it off. I'm waiting for Sunman and/or Steve (MBNL) to comment on this thread. I want to see how much work needs to be poured in/and money spent to make this work.
Also, WaveyKat's comment about wearing down the engine is on my mind too...
But it's sure tempting! And I'm sure cheaper than a Kleeman kit.

Too much work to convert using the AMG SC.
Go with an aftermarket package that includes all neccessary parts.
(Kleemann, Carlsson, Brabus, RennTech)
Or get a shop to build you a custom Turbo setup.

Simply sell your car and buy a C32. C240 and C32 are not that far apart on used car market. Plus you will get a true AMG car with suspension, brakes, transmission and interior.

No, not really. Figure at least $15,000 to make it right. Engine rebuild to accomadate the booost, labor, misc parts and so forth. It gets expensive very quckly.
