How much HP can you make out of a C230 Kompressor?

With the car having a supercharged 4 banger at 190bhp, how high in HP have you made your C230K?

Mods like headers, exhaust, air intake, upgraded pulleys, sprint booster, and ECU flash are available

So has anyone turn there Sporty sedan into a super fun to drive car that can compete with simpler cars in it class that comes with 200+hp?


hmmm turbo 4 banger?

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Check out username drexappeal. He has the most powerful
M271.
And yes, all those things will increase performance, for a price.
People are yawning though, because all this is discussed to death in other threads FYI. Best to search.

Sprint booster won't increase power, just throttle response.

And yes, someone did a turbo M111 but it was a bhastard stepchild with a lot of problems.

Lets see... (with what I sorta have).

-Kleemann boost kit w/ fuel pressure regulator (but now with a larger Renntech pulley...so I'm kinda hybriding off the fact that I kept the K-FPR and KBOX attached)
-Kleemann Exhaust
-Customized intake tubing
-Customized intake airbox
-Customized SpeedInnovation Software (sprintbooster not really necessary at this point)
-Headers (self-designed)..maybe again?
- a K&N filter?
-Big Bore Throttle Body (in process)
-Self-designed larger intercooler/better flow (in process). Just gotta get those endtanks fabbed dammit.

What else could I possibly do for M271s on this forum? Haha..Drex has larger injectors (to compensate that the REnntech kit didn't come with an FPR).

We'll see what happens with the last two (yes, I had Drex' throttle body bored out...so I'm doing it for mine and another - I have two spares biatches :p).

flip

tip: best speedy mod you can probably do for this car would be to get lightweight forged wheels in 18" flavor .

translate the % yourself...
How much HP can you make out of a C230 Kompressor?-scan10010.jpg
.. of course this dyno was without the now larger pulley, this was with stock Kleemann kit (...lol) and my header + tuning - no upgrades to the intake, FMIC, BTB, etc.
