Eaton M45 Porting
Sorry for my english, i'll try to explain what happened in a few words:
put the car on the dyno with the manometer on, at 5000rpm in V the K pressure was about 1.2bar and the car had the recovery signal.
Now we can say for sure that also the Crank has been changed by the previous owner... i'm thinking to take it off in order to finish the map!
You must tell to the tuner that will tune your car to rear the programm from your ECU from the OBDII in order to check with an OEM ECU file if there is any changes The M271 map sensor limites out at 1bar and the is no way to see more boost from 1,1bar overboost without changing the OEM map sensor with a bigger one.
Unfortunately i don't have so much time (even if i would like so) to spend over the car...i will set it with a standard crank pulley and keep the modded SC pulley and the map again. I know,maybe, i could go on with the two modded pulleys but too many tests/time and too much skills required...and unfortunately, now, i don't have both of them.
Anyway, i want to thank you for your explanation, you're very kind, and we'll see around the web very soon i bet!
I want power up my SC so as I understand is I have to do a 65mm SC pulley and keep the 175m pulley. Of course I have to improve the IC and do the remap. Am I right?
on the other hand what about changing the fuel pump? what is the fuel original fuel pressure?

- If you want to spin up your SC you can:
2. Make bigger crank pulley, smaller water pump pulley and other belt (expensive) or
3. Change your SC and put one from the C230 or from the facelift engine with the 184Hp (their SC has 65 pulley) which is the best solution and you can sell your SC.
- Without remap you will do nothing.
- The fuel pressure is 3,8bar. Even with bigger fuel pump you will not be able to increase it because the fuel pressure regulator (FPR) is located in the fuel filter (if your car is prefacelift) or in the tank (facelift). If your car is PF you can put a FPR aka Kleemann and if it is FL you have to change the FPR which is in the tank. The max pressure you can set is 5bar. For my opinion itis better to keep the OEM 3,8bar pressure and if after the remap your fuel injectors max out then put bigger.
- If you change the SC pulley and make a custom one the smaller you can make is 62mm. Make sure that the pulley is made from inox and not from alluminum because it is too thin. If you made it from iron you must electrostatic paint it because from the rust. If you try to put a 65mm OEM pulley you have to take the SC apart and try to press the pulley on the snout (the front section). If you try to press the pulley on the SC you may destroy the front bearing and the seal. For me change your SC with one which the pulley is 65mm.
- The best IC for us is fron MKB or VARTH. They are expensive but they are fine. You can put a universal one but you will find out if it is good only when you will test it.
- Before start spending money, talk with the person that will remap your ECU. If he can rase the boost at 1Bar then go on. If not don't do anything. Without the damos files for the SIM4LKE you can't remap the M271. With a "can" programm will earn 20-25Hp max.

PS, You can see in the fotos an inox 62mm sc pulley I have made some years ago.

You can turbocharged your engine. A friend of mine has done it and manage to make 300Hp @ crank with 1bar boost. You can check http://www.slkworld.com/performance-...o-project.html and the video:

And now I have a question, may be it is possible to make ECU remap with MB StarDiagnosis?
And now I have a question, may be it is possible to make ECU remap with MB StarDiagnosis?
Yes, its possible.
I'm waiting for Star Diagnosis right now, ordered it.
After receiving I will learn how to to that.
In USA, where the SC is a must in tuning, there is no serious improving the MP45, and I had to start from scratch. After seeing many-ported SC I decide to do some porting work, ie opening the exit port, normalization and polishing the air intake on the back and closing the four holes of air relief. For the holes, I did not use jb weld or so but I make cups from aluminum. In order the cups to stay in place I cut pieces of industrial rubber plate 10mm thickness and fill the holes in both sides of the sc exit, as you can see in the pictures.
Let us see in what rpm the EATON rotor spins, from OEM until the upper limit it can spin with custom crank - sc pulley:
1. Crank 175mm / supercharger 72mm = 2,43 gearing X 6.200rpm = 15.100 (All the 163hp with the 2080, 2180, 2380 etc.
2. Crank 175mm / supercharger 65mm = 2,69 gearing X 6.200rpm = 16.700 with the 184hp and 192hp with the 2780
3. Crank 175mm / supercharger custom 62mm = 2,82 gearing X 6.200rpm = 17.500
4. Crank 195mm/supercharger 65mm = 3 gearing X 6.200rpm = 18.600 (Kleemman)
5. Crank 195mm / supercharger 62mm = 3,14 gearing X 6.200rpm = 19.500
6. Crank 195mm / supercharger 65mm = 3 gearing X 7.000rpm = 21.000
7. Crank 195mm / supercharger 62mm = 3,14 gearing X 7.000rpm = 22.000 which is the maximum you can spin the MP45 in M271, because there is no space for other pulley combination. For the limit of 22.000rpm will need several interventions in functionality, such as oil cooling system for the oil in the snout drive gears and lighting the rotors by 30-40% in order to reduce parasitic losses and affect the reliability of as much as possible.
First a 2080 MP45 was selected, a 62mm pulley was placed and apart from the work of porting it was partially rebuilt: the coupler was replaced, the oil was changed, the housing has been polished inside with special OINTMENT Unipol, the o-ring filler cap was changed and also the special grease blue color Beveroil (Lilac) inside the back bearing.
In order to replace the front bearings of the rotors you have to take them apart and it is very difficult to put them together because you need special timing machine to reinstall them properly. I would not recommend someone to dare. The opening of the air outlet was made on a mill and the polishing by hand and custom made flexible with long nose to polish the most part and not hurt the inside of the housing where the rotors are turning and damage the SC.
The SC was spinning for 7 days at 21.000rpm and then "caboom". Second attempt with another 2080, was also end in 7 days with another broken SC. My conclusion is that the 2080 cannot spin more than the 19.500rpm. When opened, the drive gears were destroyed.
Third attempt was made with a 2780 from C230 which use a spring for the rotation and not the plastic coupler, which is spinning many months now without problems.
Spinning the SC more than 19.500rpm causing too much stress and high temperature inside the snout and the SC brake down. To avoid facing the problem it should be installed a closed-circuit oil cooling system in order to reduce the temperature and avoid the heat to be transported to SC body. This system will work with a low flow fuel pump, an oil cooler, an expansion tank, a relief valve and some hoses.
Below are some photos of the project. I opened this topic for those interested to know about and to exchange ideas and thoughts, which are welcome.
Those who wish to enter the above procedure should know that no one could give warranty to a mechanical assembly, which rotates 5.300rpm more than the maximum limit, according the manufacturer.
The SC is on two SLK200K giving a gain of 8RWHP. The boost rise to 1,15bar making 199RWHP at 6.700rpm, on a Mustang dyno. Also a 5bar fuel pressure regulator, 195mm crankshaft pulley, bigger IC, improvement of air supply piping, headers, free flow catalyst and a remap of the ECU by a tuner who has the DAMOS files of the SIM4LKE, is the only way.
The last problems I am working on, is:
1. the MAF limits out at 180g/sec and doesn't allow the pressure to rise more opening the bypass valve, even I have try bigger MAP. Attempts of changing or decaling the MAF heart idle and performance.
2. does anyone know how I can merge the wiring of the throttle body connector in order to put the throttle body of a SLK350 which is bigger? In "autodata 3.38' the wires are different as you can see in the photos.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
PS: Sorry for my English.
I have a question for my 271 engine with M65 supercharge.. Can I ported it? if yes, I have to remap?
I have 2006 MB, C180 Kompresor W203, Engine 271.

Before you put any pulley on you engine, find a tunner that can remap the ECU. No remap no any Hp gain. Your engine puts out 192 Crank Hp at 0,9bar. The factory map reads only 1bar so I dont think that you need any pulley. You need a remap from a tuner who has the damos files of the SIM4LKE in order to be able to rise the boost and to change the A/F ratio and to see some good Hp gain.
Gogos, like to reach out to you for more information?
