sounds like a job from hell to make it work, you will have to do lots of plumping ie intercooler, exhaust etc not to mention wiring and ECU's

I don't think that it is a simple bolt on to the transmission (probably will not even match up) not to mention that the C280 transmission, transfer case and rear end are not designed to take the extra power a C32 will give.

I think this is a nightmare in the making

It would be an "easier" job to adapt it to a non-4matic C320

It would be possible with a wallet that idk.. Replenishes itself, whats good with people asking all these unreasonable things?

I know trading your car in and getting a c32 is a lot cheaper. 12k For a c32 yikess

I think that sounds AWESOME. A rice stomper if I've ever heard of one! Think about an Evo going up against that, it warms the cockles of my heart.

I wont even lie the C32 is hella fast.. A stick shift would help it tho.

Exactly, he's turning into our friend AKBAR ROFL.. Dude if you aren't being satisfied trade in.

eesjunin

so is it a direct bolt on to a C320 non-4matic...maybe you can pass on tha engine to me?

Gramma_Benz

Yeah, with all the electronic components, ECU transfer.....you'll have tons of problems.
Just buy a C32 and install a LSD.

Not worth it.. better route is to just get a C32 as others have stated.

nickgailloux

lol... this has to be the 10th person to post on this forum since I joined, wanting to swap a c32 or c55 motor into their car... I just dont get it... sell your car and get the c32 or c55!

Your tranny will be up for the challenge. The motor mount is a little different so you would need to change that. Then you will need ecu coding and I'm not sure if the 4matic can handle that much power. I know the rear end on the C32 is pretty heavy duty. A C32 with mods is equivalent to 450hp from what I have seen (now I don't know how much reliability is effected). Mike's (Temjin) C32 had that much hp.

You most likely would need to change your fuel pump. Then you will need intercooler and all the accessories as well. I think it's gonna cost way too much. As much as I like to see mods like this, this time I have to say it's better to just get a C32.

Trini, stop acting like you know what your talking about. You say C32 is hella fast and make a idiot comment about a manual helping it. You always knock autos like your some kind of manual pro driver. Do you even know how to drive stick? Ya, that's why the fastest cars are all auto right?? That's why autos get the fastest times on the track right?? That's why the fastest Supras come auto right? That's why an EVO MR comes with the SST tranny right?? You've been watching too any Fast and the Furious movies.

How is a manual going to help the C32 except for less wheel loss. You can launch in an auto, you can hold gears in the auto....what else do you want?

Xhale707

Now we should talk about STS turbos =D anyone??

Take a look here. You can build your own kit. OP made a parts list.

Forum is super slow right now....well it's always been slow as hell

man that place went to ****

W203E35

Ya, after they sold it, it went down the drain. If i'm not mistaken same crew is starting up MBJUNKIES.

i guess new management had some pretty nasty beef with someone? their forum is getting destroyed with spamming..

that place was pretty immature, though.
mbworld has way too much activity to go down let alone for others to compete with it.

W203E35

The site was horrible. It has an exploit and the MD5 hash could have easily been compromised. At the time the mods were cool so I didn't mess with it. But if they were dbags then the site would have been down ( i don't know by who but I'm sure it would have been down).

They were using an old version (phpbb 2.0.21) which was released mid 2006

Now they said they are on vBulletin

I also agree with the immaturity comment. MBWorld is very solid and like you mentioned has no competition. Maybe Benzworld but I noticed Benzworld is mostly non US and MBWorld is more US.

Although it's ironic that I comment on the immaturity and at the same time make immature jokes on MBWorld

draz.amg

wow.. guess it really is too little too late for them now. talk about bad management.

this place wouldn't be the same without you and your jokes.
nothing like a random immature joke to ease the tensions on here..

W203E35

Thanks . I got couple of PMs from members telling me my jokes made their day but then again I got an infraction too (once)
