It has been 1 whole day since I got my car back. The first 100 miles I needed to take it a bit easy so the seals would set. Also, my car needed to learn the blower. I have driven about 140 miles and I can safely say that it is FUN! I love it. I love the added power. It is a very progressive pull. Kicks in a little under 3000rpm and kicks hard. Kinda reminds me of a turbo car. It really jerks your head back. Even with 4 people in the car it was pulling strong. I need a boost gauge. Im curious what Im boosting and I want to see how the boost hits. Im also considering another gauge, maybe a oil temp gauge. Not too sure, I just want to be safe.

Before when I dynoed my car it was at 156hp. I know I am over 220hp at the wheels. I will find out next friday for certain. I will post up all dyno charts for everyone to see. By then the car will have learned the blower and everything will be broken in. Evosport did dyno it right when they installed it after about 10 miles and it did 218hp at the wheels. Now it should do a lot more so Im just crossing my fingers for the best.

 

did you get the kleeman kompressor on your C240? No way.... Dude that's awesome. How much did it cost you and where to get one?

 

kleeman OwNz yOo.
Very nice, glad you finally decided to join the darkside.
My guess is that you'll probably make around 240-250 at the wheels- Time for me to do some performance mods now.
Good stuff, bro.

 

Jason,

Was there ever any doubt? I'm going to guess 227HP at the rear wheels; a tremendous improvement over the stock 240. Give me a call, and tell me what you think!

 

We installed Jason's Kompressor last week. The V6 Kleemann Kompressor is $8,400 plus about $1,300 for installation. Each kit runs .5 bar, and makes the car faster than the next level up (c240 faster than c320, etc). Jason also has a lot of other modifications that I'm sure he'll mention, and even more on the way.

Congrats!

 

Hey Ben, thanks a lot for everything. Also, please thank Brad, Simon, Vadim, Josh too for me. I love the blower. My car feels sooooo good. I just need a short shifter now. My throws are too long. Or i need a different tranny with longer gears. Hehe. I think I will get the brakes really soon. My stock system feels funny.

The blower makes my car feel like a different car. Oh, I can offically say I am the FIRST C240 with this blower in North America! Hehe.

 

so i've noticed you've done a few mods to your car. soooo, pics,pics,pics. inside and out, sounds sweet. thanks

 

nice! i'd like to see some pics also when you get a chance.

 

Ill take some pics tomorrow.

 

Wow thats amzing. So did it add about 100hp more??

 

fairladyz , were you ever in Salinas? I swear a few years back I saw that car there in an apt. garage!!!

Rob C.

1985 Toy Supra [Thorley headers, HKS P-flow, Exh] 210hp
1988 Toy Supra [HKS Stage 3 [circa 1990] 325hp@22psi
1994 Honda Civic EX Turbo [Rytek/DPR] 280hp
1999 Honda Civic EX [Stocker]

 

The C7 shifter for the coupe should fit.

 

Congrats BrabusCClass, i think u have one of the best C240's in the world now.

 

LOL! Thanks.


Does anyone know how much the C7 shifter is? Hmm. Maybe Ill do that. Is it really short? Does anyone live in LA with the C7 package? I would like to see in person can compare. If anyone would be so kind to let me check it out, Id appreciate it.

 

Come to florida we will trade cars for the day

you test drive my car and i test yours:p

 

You could go to any local dealership,and test drive a c230 with the c7 option,i have it but its a auto.My friend works at Auto Steigler in Encino if interested to go test drive,he'll let u push it hard.

 

Thanks! My friend said the same thing so I was gonna test drive one today if I could find it. Hehe. Maybe Ill go to Steigler since Im in Encino every day.

 

I think it was around $450. MB claims 20% shorter throws.

Cheers, BT

 

BrabusCClass, I think with the amount of money you've spent on your car you could've bought yourself a C32 ... but to be the fastest C240 is priceless

 

 

yes C32 is very fast

but a fast Mercedes with 6sp is unique
