Engine question
Sorry... jumping forums here...
What engine is in the W203 C23 AMG that is supercharged? Someone told me that the V6 was the same in my E320... M112???? I was informed... the supercharger would fit my engine as well... I have my doubts... THANKS!!!
background... I am looking to boost my low mileage 02 E320... I am researching turbo which is the easiest route... but a MB supercharger would be sweet...

2002 c32
The W203 C32 is a 3.2L. I think it's the same engine as the SLK32 and as far as retro-fitting a supercharger on your existing 3.2, there was a guy on here doing something like that. Search for something like 'supercharger oil sealed' because he was asking about opening it up an what oil to use...something to that effect. He would be one who had done some research. As far as how similar it is, the internals gotta be COMPLETELY different from a stock 3.2 - vadim would know, might harrass him a little as well.
Some other user will chime in here soon and straighten the two of us out - good knowledge on this board.

same block, different internals to handle high boost.
You will need a low boost koompressor, since your engine internals will not be able to handle 12lbs + of boost...
search for kleeman Kompressor... it pumps out a bit less than a C32 still effective.
I saw a used one for sale a few months back, but new its not that cheap.
