Yup, That's the new guy.


As for the bolt, it will be OEM MB. It will come with the part number and be that odd bluish color.

Bullwinkle,
Like I said it's better to have a new bolt that to not have one. Why are you getting so worked up over such an obvious point? I'll tell you what, if you buy a pulley through us and don't want to use the bolt then I won't make you. I know it's hard to believe, but I will not go out of my way to make sure you used it. Scout's honor.

hahaboy

also how much to post to malaysia ?

TVT_DESIGN

46.00 if you don't want prepaid shipping to return the core, or 92.00 if you do.

hahaboy

92 with return core ? how abt the new belt ?

TVT_DESIGN

The new belt is included in that price. Your total cost would be 742.00 for Pulley, Belt, Bolt, and shipping both ways. You also get the 275.00 back with the core return.

dsisco23

hi does this include shipping both ways?

just want to work out the total price. also how long does shipping take to melbourne australia 3163?

im ready to buy.

thanks

TVT_DESIGN

We've done a few International orders on these and the shipping both ways is 742.00 total.

As for the time to get to Australia, it's up to customs. I've sent things to Germany using ground shipping and they arrived in 5 days, but I've alsosent something to China with 3 day express and it was stuck in customs for three weeks. So to quote you a time would be foolish.

Hi Anthony,

Can you please give us status updates on our orders? I ordered mine on Monday and hopefully you'll be able to ship it out by tomorrow. Please send us tracking #'s if you can.

Thanks,

I have never gotten any renumeration from ASP because I don't need it, and it certainly cost me more for my ASP pulley than anyone here and 7 years later, still believe it's the best buy out there for that motor, part of that is there's no renumeration to, unlike the pulley for the older 2.3L motor, that kit is double.

But sorry if I get annoyed when a reseller comes out of the woodwork and makes all these statements when they have no history, frankly, there are other ASP resellers that are less expensive and I don't get it, $650 is what ASP charges with a $300 core charge, belt cost $15 online, where's the big group buy deal, am I missing something?

Buell - this seems to be getting appropriate on this thread

It does seem like you're taking this a little personally. I'm sure those who know the history of this pulley appreciate what you did.

C230 Sport Coup

I paid 700 with shipping to get mine.
This GB seems like a great way for those who never got one before to jump in.
Whats the problem? Of course we appreciate it Buell.
Ah yes...the history...the damaged cars...the arguments between Carl and Brandon....
And while you were intrumental in the development, there also were those who's
cars ended up being the beta testers for the 1st 2 unsuccessful versions and
suffered the consequences. And I appreciate those people's help too, like
Francis, the mechanical engineer who taught me how to install the pulley and
had all 3 versions and had some input as well.

I've also not needed a new bolt...but there are those who say
so called "stretchy" bolts should be replaced each time.
But it hasn't been an issue for me.

Has anyone heard from Anthony or did anyone get any shipment updates from him yet. I've been calling him in the last couple of days and I haven't heard from him.

valexv

hopefully you will hear from him soon, if not its not a good start for a new sponsor,

that's what i was getting at earlier, not in a rush to get the money for it, but still want it.

TVT_DESIGN

Sorry for the delays, as it gets warmer it gets more hectic. As of Monday everything should have shipped/or in process. I'll get as much detailed info from ASP as I can on Monday.

And please for all of you out there that have a core and have not returned it, please send it back. They are short on cores and it slows production.

kimito

and for de m271 1.8L Kompressor is this pulley avaliable?

Buellwinkle

I'm pretty sure if you pay ASP, they will make you one, they have in the past but don't know why you would want it, the gains are negligable and the risks are great because you driving the s/c beyond it's maximum rated RPM. There's some minor stuff you can do with your car that may get the HP up 10-20HP maybe with a chip, exhaust (Kleemann has some nice headers), but with today's resale value, it would be cheaper to sell it and buy a C32 or even a C350 and get something you may be happier with.

The M111 ran their s/c below it's max rpm so there was more room to play, hence this pulley. I even tried different diameters to see if bigger or smaller made a difference so the ASP pulley for the post-2000 M111 is the optimal diameter. The pre-2000 M111 pulley was made smaller because of detonation issues, it had a different ECU than the post-2000 and it didn't compensate as well for the added pressure.

kimito

would it be difficult to put those motors in an coupe? I had in mind changing the motor by de c32amg motor is it possible?

SeaCoupe

Dear Gawd. Just when I thought it was safe to get back into the W203 waters, I see an idiotic post like this.

Kid unless you have some $15k sitting and buring a hole in your pocket, or a engineering degree of somesort, forget it. This is a Mercedes, not a Muscle car.

Lool. Wasn't there someone that did it tho? I think Sunman did mannage to put a c55 engine in his c320. I might be wrong but he told me a while back that he was going to do it. Of cuorse he would be someone that could easyly do it.

ebargados

Anthony,

Its Monday night and I/we still haven't heard from you on anything that relates to our shipment info. A phone call would be nice otherwise I'm leaning on canceling my order.
