Found a thread talking about retrofitting a slk 350 intake in a w203 350 . Was wondering if this works for us w204 guys as its the same engine . Any input on this ?

wnunez89

better question.... would it be worth it?

hitokiri89

Depends , ion dropping my heads in soon and I'll need more air . Intake and 82mm throttle body might make a good combo . Not sure how much sense it makes to do intake alone though .

wnunez89

heads as in cylinder heads or headers? the w204 intake is already a really sufficient intake, idk if switching to the SLK 1 would be beneficial or not. to me there exactly the same.

hitokiri89

Headers , still researching but it seems interesting thus far . Another member did it to a w203 apparently good gains

wnunez89

yea i know some people have done it in the w203. i guess try it out and be the first then let us all know if it was worth it. good luck.

Havnt decided in the mod yet , looking for more info . I really don't know what makes the intake on the slk different from ours . If any one knows please chime in .

hitokiri89

Looked at the numbers , slk produces 32 more hp than the c . What I don't know if this is the intake alone or multiple differences like tb and cylinder heads ?

The SLK has different heads, cams, valves, valve springs, rocker arms, inlet manifold & tuning etc.

Lol so not worth swapping g the intake than

Just swap the throttle body for the bigger 82mm found on the m273 v8, you'll need an adapter plate to hook up to stock intake manifold. This is proven to give power. Other than that I advise you wrap your headers so they don't heat soak your engine. Then get a them tuned on the dyno where they can measure a/f
