The only way a C240 will do a 6 sec is in vertical free fall down a mine shaft. Even then it might battle!

Yeah Karo, if he hits something he wont have to worry about replacing the car since he will become one with the steering wheel and wont need a new car. Idk why people keep talking about that electric supercharger, its a waste of money and engine space!

I think you could gain another .01 seconds on your 0-100 km by draining the oil. That stuff is heavy, and it doesn't need all of it.

Really...none of the rest of this is anymore serious. How about this thread gets dumped too. Matt is dead on, there is something lurking under the bridge.

What i'm wondering is how old is this guy? He's talking about fitting twin turbos on a C240.. This guy is funny.

I have a RC car that I assure you is faster than your C240

No it won't, those are cosmetics. Except for the exhaust and Iono about the 65 fenders.

U come on every thread I make. I have no intentions on putting that electric blower on the engine. I'm trying to make the car as light weight as possible.

I can assure you in 3 months, that's gonna change. Jumping from a 7.5 to 7 by then.

All Mercedes c class sedans are "slow" to all owners. We always crave for more power.

lool that's funny. Twin turbo setup will probably be worth 1/2 the value of the car.


Hey how much do you want to spend to make your car fast? If your serious let me know man.

I have a c240 and its slow as hell. As much as i wished we could mod the c240 to make it "fast," I don't think its possible. Your best best would be to swap to a c32 engine.

or to make it a little faster get a C32 blower on it but you will need to change the pulley so you can lower the boost. There are possibilities but it all comes down to $$$

I'm dead serious, I rather keep this than a SL or any AMG. I love this car alot and I don't seem to take things lightly when negativity pops towards the 240.
How the hell u gonna help?

Are u nuts? U didn't read my dramatic jump in Performance? 8.5 to 7.5? It's all about dedication and u can start off by making ur car light weight.

Here is a document on what's involved to supercharge a M112 engine.

That's the Kleemann kit. It boost 1/2 a Bar while the AMG boost 1 bar.

Bar=14.7

I don't think you'll get away with a Bar on the C240.
