"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.

I really wish but I'm in Texas right now and my Benz is in Pakistan. Won't be able to show any pictures or performance updates until 3 months when u go back. I want help on what to buy from here to take back, like evosport pulley, k&n filters, sprint booster??? More stuff as well. First I want to show to other 240 owners on how the cars Hp jumped from stock to 200 Hp. No pics and vids till may or June.

Yes I don't expect alot. My target is in 300's HP. And a fast accelerating car in the 6's. That's it

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
There is nobody in Karachi who could double the horsepower of a C240 - they do not have the gear. A C32 AMG only achieves 349 bhp.

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.

About 270bhp could be possible at large expense.

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.

Here is the only item needed to have 300hp:

- 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.

Cale there is a big difference between someone who has genuine curiosity, like you, and someone who is just being a troll. I've been here long enough to have seen numerous threads JUST like this one. It is like they're all started by the same person and take the same route.

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.

Ur stupid man, 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.

Dude the C230 will rape your C240 bro. 05+ will manhandle you and send you back to pakistan .. Just because the number is lower doesn't mean it's slower

Hahaha, I promise you man this will happen. But again ur not helping much by not telling what I need.
In 3 months I'll post up a video of all the works, ya ya I'll still loose to an evo but atleast I'll have a reasonably fast sedan.

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.

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?

ECU remapping, some powerchip the companys name I'm not aware of. Our mechanic knows all the details about this, I might not know alot about benzes but he does. He gave me the figures and told me what to bring. He's doing this for a long time.....And I'm not sure of any Benz that has 300 ish Hp stock in Karachi up for sale. There's an SL 500 but it's a 129.

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.

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.

Ok that's 1.
How about those extras? Like evosport pulleys? Filters? Intakes? I'm already getting an eisenmann exhaust.

A pulley on your car you dont need. Stock filters on your car is fine. You don't need intake.

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
