I want to hook up my car
Hey everyone,
I want to customize my vehicle and need your input on engine mods I can do.
Anyone have anything for sale I can use to boost my hp.
I'm driving a 2000 W208.
Let me know.

This is the AMG forum and it says (you say) that you drive a CLK320. You can't get 500hp from a CLK320, only above 1000hp is possible 
Seriously though you did buy the wrong car, if you want 500hp buy an E55, they're going for fair deals these days

You can get 500 hp out of dang near anything nowadays with the right amount of money. I don't see a good reason besides the amount of money you will spend that you can't get 500 hp out of that car.

2001 CLK 55 AMG.......... 2001 Corvette Z06.........
It would be cheaper to buy a better car....besides if you were to attain 500hp out of a 320; I doubt it would have very good street manners.
other than that i switch back to default when people want insane hp out of a mb for less than 40k......put a gm ls engine in it.

Specifically what two cars are you trying to compare? Granted beauty is in the eye of the beholder but given you have never seen my car and have not see the OP's, how car you say whos car looks better.

For 1 a focus is cheap, for 2 100x more people own a ford focus than your mb so you have a large aftermarket unlike mb, for 3 ford shares their tech data unlike the tight-lipped krauts and that's all the mental energy i feel like investing in this.

Don't listen to the jokers in this thread, they have no idea what they are talking about. 500 hp is no problem at all, just buy this:

60% of the time, it works every time.

Just run a 2000 shot of NOS and you'll have alot of HP........for .0000021sec Get a better car man, a CLK320 was never built for 500hp and there isn't a huge aftermarket parts selection and not many people have done it. You'll be a guinea pig and a very expensive one at that. The thing is it's not like the CLK320 is unique, it's a car that's used stock, enjoyed as a normal commuter with some luxuries normally by teenage girls and then sold. It's a girls car and a girls engine. Get a CLK Black or an E55 and there you have it. Believe me 500hp in a 320 will create alot of headaches.

if you really want to get that much power.. the only reasonable thing i can think of is a 2JZ swap upgrade the stock turbos, at that point its not really a CLK320 though
2JZ CLK320, talk about a mismatch right there. To be honest I do have a solution, drop a 572 Chevy crate motor in, then have it stroked. I don't think you'll run out of displacement anytime soon
