I have a piece of **** C230 super charging lying at home. Will that fit? There are no C32s or C55s in my country yet.

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.

Right now I have a 5000 to 7000 USD chum change lying for starters. But I don't wanna spend the whole money just on a super charger. I already have a dead C230 super charger in the thrash can.

It's for a four cylinder. It just simply won't fit.
It's not like a turbocharger where you can bolt it up to a custom exhaust manifold and run piping. It needs to mate the intake ports, while still being able to mount the belt to run the thing.

So the C32 super charger can fit in then. So pointless of an engine swap then

C32 bigger engine supercharged. Your car is a smaller engine with higher compression. You can not run C32 supercharger on your engine without lowering boost. Lower boost = lower power.
C32 makes 350hp stock. Your car with a supercharger will probably make 250hp (hopefully).

Dude you play too much video games. You sound like you want to make a HIGH PERFORMANCE C240 ROFL.. If you don't already know the UAE has some extremely fast cars, everything from EVOTECH RS6's to R8's, why would you do this to a C240 of all cars.
Again I ask how old are you?

Dude you want expert information but you're not listening to anyone. Everyone is telling you the same thing. The amount of money you would spend just to make it equivalent to a c32 would be ridiculous. If you could even achieve those numbers, you would most likely be left with an unreliable car.
You're talking about trying to atleast double the power without modifying internals. It's not a realistic goal.

I hope you havent been talking smack to any EVO owners, or fast runners for that matter...
But seriously, if you really want to make this car fast, and not just an explosion waiting to happen, you'll need to start thinking in reality. That involves taking into account that you cant turn a 190 HP car into a 350 HP car with bolt on modifications.
If you really want to make a run at this project you're going to need to pull the engine, probably bore it out a bit more to increase displacement, get custom internals that can handle the boost, then go with a Kleemann or AMG blower (i wouldnt recommend the AMG route, it gets really expensive really fast. There's a guy on the AMG section that put an e55 blower on a c55 and it cost a LOT), probably need new camshafts, new headers, a c32 transmission wouldn't hurt, and THEN you have to get the software to make it all work together and honestly i have NO idea where you'd get that. And you'll still have weird issues with the car. Plus where are you going to get all this done? You could take the car TO Kleemann and they'd still have a tough time getting you there.
I know you really like the c240 and want to make it great and all that, but lets say you do all this and after tens of thousands of dollars and months of work, you get to a 350hp car. After all that effort, hows it going to feel when some kid in an Evo that spent $2k on some bolt on mods completely annihilates you without even noticing?

Hey I love this car and couldn't stand the stock version. Modded a bit, saw good results. Now wanting even more, and it's not impossible.....it's a challenge.
