163 hp is a bit weak....what kind of engine upgrades are out there for this small engine...pulley? ecu?

 

If so, you can't buy a C 200 K, so don't worry about it.

You may, however, buy a C 230 K, which has over 25 HP more than the C 200 K.

 

I’ve got kleemann ring pulley upgrade, exhaust and airfilter. The pulley upgrade gave me the most bang for my bucks and I’ve been very happy with the results.
I shaved off 1 second doing 0-100km/h .

 

oh, no, yeah, it's not here...in taiwan

 

so i found some kleemann and brabus kits...leaning toward kleemann. who else is out there? renntech doesn't seem to have stuff for 200k...

 

I've heard about an austrian company named "Väth", making a pulley-upgrade for the C200K. Väth is, to my understanding, very popular among SLK-owners.

 

what would u be getting DtS? or consider?

 

I would go (or will go, hopefully later on this summer) with the Kleemann ring-pulley. Mainly because it's pretty easily available in Sweden, it's cheap (fairly anyway: +37hp for ~$1500 is not that bad), plus I've mostly heard good things about Kleemann's products.

 

ic. yeah, this board seems to like kleemann a lot. hehe...i'm guessing the s60r/v70r is just too common in sweden huh?

 

Hmmm, yes... All roads are crowded with these cars, especially with V70s. The R-line hasn't really hit the road yet. I guess they will not sell alot in Sweden though, since the swedes in general think that Volvos and Saabs should be valuable cars. I think the new Volvo R-line is a little bit too expensive. I mean - it's a Volvo after all.
