"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
youre not going to get much positive feedback here.
if you want some help, then get started on the project and come ask questions when you hit a snag. otherwise provide updates. until you begin any real work on the car, you're unfortunately going to continue to get ridiculed. show them theyre wrong and come back with picture of the engine torn apart.

To put in perspective your right, for the results I want, I've to dissect the car and do lots of work on the engine. But what choices do I have? "Buy another car". I don't think so, cuz the 240 cost like hell, and besides I love the car alot. Amgs are very rare here so no chances of getting that. Ok from what I have now, how much can I push the car to it's limits without touching the engine? And how much can I push it with touching the engine? Max results? 350 Hp is good enough for me or if you say more than that like 400 Hp then that'll be better. Ok I live in Karachi and they are alot of mechanics that specialize in tuning mercs but require cash to do so
You would have to work very hard & spend a fortune to add 100bhp without nitrous.

I don't know the deal with n2o?? How does that work. Ok if 350 Hp is too much? How about a 300 for the 240? I can't go lower than that. And you'll be surprised at the work shops in Karachi. Thanks to the UAE, all parts and tools are exported from there.

Just anyone tell me what items I need total to achieve a 300 Hp mark? Give me a whole list so I can buy it from here.
And don't say super or turbos cuz Im already aware of that.

- A new, 300HP car of some kind. Might I suggest a BMW 135? Or an SLK350 with a red stripe on the engine. Or an Infiniti G35 or G37. Lexus IS350?
270HP is not 70 more than you have, it's 102 more than you have - that's a significant jump.

This thread is just painful. To get 350 hp you would have to mod your engine so much that there wouldnt be anything of the original engine left! And since when did tuning become about dedication and devotion, blah blah, its about PHYSICS, and science is not your friend here. You can't wish your car into being something it isnt.
I'm out, somebody pm me when we get a video of this guy getting pwned by an EVO or blowing his engine up.

Haha, don't even go there, im not starting a Mercedes genocide. And no stock C230 can beat my 240, that's a guarantee. I already did that test. Beaten all stock Kompressors. C180s, C200s, C230s. That may be a hard pill to swallow, cuz in the US most 230s mock 240s but not with me.

Says he who wants to outfit his 350hp C240 with SL65 AMG fenders? Or is it a C320 now? I forget since you said it could now be called a C320, though I can't remember why that is. The C320 had 215hp. Even with your fuzzy logic and general disregard for intelligence you're only claiming 200hp. If 0-60 times identify a car, you're probably really driving a Cavalier.
Then buy one that IS available and has 300hp. It's not that complex of an idea.
Your general perception of reality is poor. Removing a spare tire and airbags do NOT add horsepower, it removes weight. It would better your power to weight ratio but doesn't mean you've had a 32hp increase. This ECU "chipped and reprogrammed" nonsense - care to share the details on that?
hmm coming from the country I live in these cars are not available and if are, they cost around 50 to 100 thousand USD.
Ur math is poor, from 200 to 270 is a 70 Hp gain. U are aware that my 240 isn't a stock.

Engine swap..since you are here in the US find a C32 engine and boat it over to Pakistan. If not then forged internals with lower compression and boost the engine.

I'm not asking for criticism!! Don't tell me to buy another car, or forget about it. Just tell me what to buy so I'll stop bugging everyone on the forums!!!!

What fire? We're just having fun in this fun thread. It's not a serious thing.
Akber, you didn't come out and ask for criticism.. but you most definitely asked for it.

The True OG Modded out W203
Crap my comment earlier got me subscribed to this thread now I'm fascinated reading these posts....
Whoever told you that you can get 370HP out of a 240 engine is STROKING you or you are just making all this up out of thin air. Either way to add MORE fuel to the fire....back in the day brabuscclass, myself and widew203 tried our best and threw 30-40-50k EACH to mod up our 240's and try figure out how we can at least make the 240 somewhat fast...but as they say-you can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day it's still a pig. Good luck believing this is gonna one day happen, at least all this nonsense has brought me back to these forums from my hiatus. Thanks for the entertainment Akber from Pakistan
