For those who are interest in performance times I got some good news! I install the pulley myself on Wednesday and on Friday I went finally to the track! before my pulley my best time was 15.86 and yesterday night I improved a lot almost a second less I did 14.96 in the first run and then in my second 15.1 , but in the second one I think my car was too cold because an accident happened and they closed for 2 hours! I am very happy with that I never think about I can be in the higher 14 seconds! I know maybe I can improved those times a little more if try again after the computer recognized all the boost, but that will be next year after I come back from my vacations so I think my c230 k is one of the fastest with an auto trasmision!

Good Job

How difficult was the pulley install for the auto?

Mercedes

Dont you have the pully??

BlackC230Coupe

WOW a 14.96 is great!!! When i get my pully i will take out the spare and my system and go to moroso and i better get a 14.96 or better Our cars are almost identical except for My exhaust and my car is lowered. Hopefully the exhaust can do something good. Now i cant wait for my pully to come.

Are there any tricks on how to launch? How did u do it? ESP on or off? did u brake toqure it or just floor it? And when did u start at the last yellow light?

Congrats on the times, i am very impressed.

by the way, how much gas did u have?

TimmyC230boy

nope I have a bone stock coupe.

Mercedes

I keep getting you mixed up with BlackC230Coupe
sorry

BlackC230Coupe

i dont have my pulley yet.

Mercedes

Where in florida do you live. Because motor trend is having there international car show. December 4-8 just let you know

C230K

Is the show in Orlando? Have three friends, with Coupes in Daytona, may be we can all get together.

TimmyC230boy

i will be ordering a pulley if I find out I can do the install myself.

Outland

And you were such a naysayer. Youve let SoCal beat you down too many times. A 6 speed C230 could probably drop that into the mid 14's or better.

Outland

You'll need an impact gun or a breaker bar and a way to lock the motor. Given the location, a small, right angle impulse tool is your best bet. An impulse gun might loosen the pulley bolt without turning over the motor, but trying to get the correct running torque with an auto trans is going to be much harder.

I live in Broward County. Where is the show?

BlackC230Coupe

BlackC230Coupe

meteoro

im usually a ghost on the forum


i live in broward too

i would be interested in meeting
maybe the meeting could be an all day thing at morosso and then take a drive somewhere

Diego

i am sorry i didn't anwser any question !

This was my fisrt mechanic job in any car! and for me was kind of difficult to get the pullley off! but after sometime trying differents things i did it! The easiest way is to lock the old pulley with two screw drivers and then use a long handle rachet bar! after you do that everything is too easy! good luck and if you have other question ask me i will help you!

Diego

Yeah you can try and i hope you do better than i did!

I did it with the esp off! and i braked and push gas a the same time and started in the last yellow light! my reaction time was .777 and then 6.40! you can try any way you want because you can do like 5 to 6 runs in a night!

Diego

sure man!

Diego

Hello meteoro!! where do you live in broward?


i think we can go together to morroso next time! that is including blackc230coupe that will be fun! i am planning to come back there in january after my trip to Venezuela.

TimmyC230boy

I will have a 90 degree air gun, so I dont think I will have any problems getting the pulley off. How was it getting the new pulley back on? I know with the auto, you have to keep the crank from spinning, and was just wondfering if you have had any problems with that.

Tim

Also, isnt ASP supposed to start stocking the pulley and lower the price. I think i heard something like that but I cant remember.

meteoro

just let me know and the others
by the way im from venezuela too

caracas represent!!!!!!!!!!

have a good trip!
