Performance parts for '94 E320

Ive looked around and i cant seem to find any performance parts for my '94 e320. Has anyone seen or heard of performance parts for this car. I wish i could find bolt on mods that increase hp and tq, but apparently their isnt such a thing. If anyone knows where bolt on modifications are sold or how to get them let me know, and let me know if they actually work and are worth while buying.--thanks

It seems the only way to go is turbo or different engine, both of which i am not willing to pay for.

hello,

you cant mod a E320 and get uber preformance with out spending some sereous bank on an F/I kit.

but, some cheeper mods are-

Kand N air filter
remapping/ chipping your ECU
exghaust
nitrous

and that is about it.
now for some more expensive mods-
F/I
larger fuel injectors
boar out engine to 3.6
port and polish
engine transplant.

and that is about all i can think of right now

redmongoose- About how much would it cost for larger fuel injectors and to bore out the motor to a 3.6 with port and polish??? And what is F/1 that you mentioned?

buy a V8 powered version is the easiest performance upgrade.

You will not see any significant gains unless you spend some big money.

RENNtech used to offer some things for the W124, but I just just browsed their wesbite and don't see any tuning details any longer.

http://www.renntechmercedes.com/

You may also consider Brabus....again, didn't find anything for the W124.

http://www.brabus-usa.com/tuning.html

Another possible option. A V8 stuffed into a W124 coupe!

Bottom line, your best option would be to sell the E320 and purchase a nice W420 or 500E/E500. Good luck

i know the fuel injectors for my E500 were about 200 each. and you would need 6 of them.

F/I is forced induction (super charger, turbo, tt)

and like what the other people said, to bore out is about 15K

and port and polish is around 5-15K depends on who does it.

so, to do everything, about.....32K and that is with a cheap S/C and light labor.

i know boaring out my 500 to a 600 would cost 32K, but thats becaseu they would have to change the cams and a bunch of other things.
