1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230
Pulley Kit links

Hey, how's everybody doing today? I just purchased a 1998 slk 230 and I love it, but being completely obsessive with speed I want to make it go faster! Does anybody know of a link where you can buy pulley kits for this car? I have spent a couple hours doing a google search and I haven't found any direct sites for direct internet purchase (with a checkout) I would rather do it over the internet than call somebody. The kit I am most interested in is the Kleemann. The one that has the box, pulley kit, and sound pipe or resinator pipe. Does anybody know which one I should go with or what the difference is? Sorry for asking such a noobie question. Pic's comming soon of my car! Thanks everybody! Abbring

PM linh, I think around here he is clk&slk, he has a good price on a 98-00 pulley kit. I think evosport might sell Kleeman pulleys?

Extra pulley

I have an extra pulley modified by ASP for sale. I'm using the aluminum one instead from them. This is the same pulley that everyone has been installing for the extra boost.

For the pre-2000 Slk 230, you need a complete kit (pulley, belt, colder plugs, fuel pressure regulator and MAS relocation pipe) or the engine won't run right.

Those links do not work because that forum upgraded and changed servers.

Go to http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r170-slk-class/ and do a search for pulleys.

You will get more information than you care to read.
