Hi guys I just bought a C230 sport about 4 months ago, it's my first car and I LOVE IT. I'm planning on keeping her around for quite some time, I would really love to get a little more HP out of my 2.5 V6 she's already quick but I want to be quicker🚗💨💨
I was thinking of a rebuild and an aggressive tune, maybe a turbo kit?? I'm looking online and Im having no luck at all. Most people are telling me to just sell it and buy a quicker car, but that's not the case it's my first car and I love it!!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
*****Note I already straight piped her from the secondary cats all the way back, she sounds like a freakin ferrari!!!
Welcome to MBWorld. There are tunes out there, but you're going to get minimal gains on that NA engine. No room up front for a turbo kit so if you were going to do it, it'd be a remote turbo. Helping her breath better will help as will some weight reduction to up your power/weight ratio.
Good luck and look forward to seeing her progress. You've taken on a big and expensive challenge with trying to bump performance on her.
Let us know if we can help you with any lighting upgrades. We have plug and play whiter lighting to give her a nice modern facelift
Thanks guys I try to keep her looking mean haha. In regards to that remote turbo how much do they run for and where can I found that is going to be compatible with my engine?
How much faster and whats your budget?
Honestly would start with something bigger/quicker youll spend less and be happier in the long run. Clean cruiser, leave it alone and enjoy
So guys I turned my car on earlier and there was a display saying, esp inoperative check user manual I turned it off and then when it came back on it was fine esp was working and everything, should I take it to the stealership and let them take $158 from me just to check it or do you guys think I'm OK?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
