Well, at least this setup looks a little less like a Mr. Wizard show. Nice job KW230.

kw230

kw230, looking at your pics you changed the tubing from the output of the intercooler to the MAS sensor, why? Wouldn't the metal absorb engine heat? Also, is there a problem with not having the wastegate venting back into the intake? Is this good/bad for performance? Has your check engine light gone off?

I checked out your burns stainless website, pretty cool. They are few miles from me, ought to check them out.

Nice work. 14.8??? Suweet! What was your trap speed?

Wouldn't just removing the plastic "grillette" next to the fog light work better for letting in more air? You could put your light back in place then too! Maybe a mesh grill could be inserted to cover the open area next to the light while still letting in air???

I was thinking for drilling some holes to the plastic grill beside the fog light to get more air in.

kw230

I forgot the speed, I think it is somewhere around 98mph???not sure..

Yeah, i will do it next year, because it is close to winter now and I don't want the rain to get into the filter too much. I will cover up the fog light hole later..

The stock plastic pipe between the intercooler and the MAS looks funny (the shape, it is not all round), so i change to a 2.5 inch alumium pipe, it looks better but it doesn't generate better performance...
The air coming out from the supercharger(wastgate) is usually warm-hot, so seperate it from the air intake can lower the intake temperature and help performance. I have been using this set up for 2 months, it seems to work very nice.

I think you reversed the numbers.

According to MT, the 1/4mile speed for stock C230K 6 speed is 89mph. Since kw230 have pulley, intake and exhaust installed, the 1/4mile speed will be faster than 89mph for sure. I have sat in his car for once, and my feeling tells me it's faster than 89mph.

kw230

I just try 1/4 again and the G-tech said 15.2s and 95.7mph
it was a very foggy night, so if for the 14.8s run, speed is 98-99mph.

Lynn

My apologies. I misread the first post with the time. 98mph does sound right for at 14.8 sec quarter.

kw230

That's ok man.

hey Eason and kw230:

you guys are in the Vancouver area, awesome!
where do you guys get all your mod parts for the 230?
It's so hard to find stuff for the car here. Any help would
be greatly appreciated, thanks

I got my stuff from Mopac and Lordco. Most of parts I got were universal fit; therefore, you will have to do some custom job with the parts to fit in the C230K.

ice777

yeah, they don't have that many parts for our coupe that are actually designed for it. let's hope the market for it will get better.

hey, how do you like your stage II HID's? have you compared them with stage I's? my friend's selling me his stage I's for $550 so I was just curious if it's worth the extra $$$ for the stage II's.

eason

The light output for stage 1 and 2 are the same, the only difference is the color temp. If you want more purple, bluish look, then I suggest you get the Stage 2. If you just need the extra light of HID, then save some money and get the Stage 1. Either Stage 1 or Stage 2 will look so different than "Superwhite" or "Xenon" like H7 bulbs.
