ASP pulley.......

I just installed ASP pulley today and everything fitted perfectly. Even those i has my custom pulley made a little bit smaller then Kleemann pulley but the performances felt the same. So all pre-2000 Slk 230 owner now can place your order. The complete pulley kit with MAS kit is $700 plus tax and shipping.

Linh, I have a C230 K 2002 Auto. Could you sell me a kit for that?
All I would need is the belt and pulley correct?

X15jq,

You can actually order it direct from ASP because your car is 2002 C230. People that have pre-2000 Slk 230 and older C230 with "kompressor" need to go through me because i have a complete kit for it. But i'm still willing to help you if you still want me to order the ASP pulley and belt for you. Just drop me an e-mail at ldnguyen1970@hotmail.com

Did you get Lee to make us some ASP rear badges yet? Maybe C23ASP or SLK23ASP or just C23A or SLK23A like Vaeth does with his V. Actually what would be great is if Lee can machine us a short shift kit, that's what I need to put the power to the pavement.

Did you see what Kleemann is working on now? A complete S/C replacement for the Eaton M45 used in our cars. $3,000 for 300HP. Add an intecooler and maybe 325-350HP is possible. Now you'll be able to almost keep up with the SLK32s! He says it will be ready in 2 weeks. Of course he always says 2 weeks, need to get him a calendar for Christmas.

I'm not that stupid to install a new 300 hp S/C kit in my car without a larger intercooler. It very good idea from Kleemann since he can't sell anymore pulley kit for the Slk because of ASP pulley.

Linh, are you going to test out the new ASP s/c replacement? It's half the price of the Kleemann's kit.

ASP pulley?

I've come in late on this thread but what is the purpose of the ASP pulley. (ie. Is it to increase the supercharger boost?)

The "5 weeks to get mine" ASP pulley has done nothing to dampen our sales. In fact last months pulley sales were actually up. It will be a cold day in hades before a cheaper knock off pulley that takes 5 weeks to get supercedes the real McCoy- my .02 cents.

The mojor reason for changing the SC is that EATONS are raging pieces of junk- very hot discharge temps at boost pressures over 7 psi. SOOOO... If temps are lowered by, say, 50% the standard intercooler has LESS to do. Not to forget the HP required to turn an EATON- its huge.

Good news for you is that we wont be making a SC replacement for the MY99's.

Yes- you are right, I need a calendar. It wont be two weeks- more like two months. Other more pressing projects have pushed this aside.

Brandon, have you fixed the problems with the belt rubbing against the waterpump pulley with the Kleemann pulleys?

KLEEMANN;
The EATON SC is a roots type correct, Do you happen to know what size is the OEM crank pulley is ?
Also what size is your pulley.

SLK 230
Whats the status of the Kleemann 300HP kit for the SLK 230?

Whats the status of the Kleemann 300HP kit for the SLK 230? Also, is it better to wait for it or buy the pully upgrade?

You will have to send your ECU in to us for programming- It is impossible to include an ECU with a kit. ECU's are "married" to your chassis after 45 key starts- after that time it is impossible to install a new control unit without first unloading the chassis specific info from your existing ECU and reloading it into another one. This can only be done with a MBZ DAS system.

Our SC system would negate the need for a cranlk pulley.

I do not remeber the stock pulley size off the top of my head. I can post that data on Monday- Ill measure a stock pulley for you.

ROFL- nice one linh.

The entire principle behind the SC conversion is to dump the awful ROOTS (Eaton) SC- they are inefficent as the day is long and their discharge temps are astounding at "high" boost (over 7 psi). A screw comporessor of the same displacement operating at the same boost (lets say 10psi) will have approximately 25% less temp delta than a Roots.

Lower power requirement to drive the SC and lower temps will result in a power increase at the existing boost level.

Those of you with a 6speed gearbox will certainly be interested in the performance data from our alloy flywheel which sheds 25+ lbs from the flywheel and includes a higher clamping force pressure plate and disc.l

Peformance Times

How quick would a 98 SLK230 w/ auto run in the 1/4 mile with the ASP or KLEEMANN pulley kit w/ maf relocation??

Thanks in advance...

Any more info on this Brandon? Pricing, when it'll be released? Results?

99 slk230
Kleeman,
I have a 99 SLK230K with a 5 speed manual, will you be providing a flywheel for this transmission and also will the supercharger replacement be available for my car I"m looking to get most of the work done to my car in Mid July if you will be releasing the supercharger for my car in the next year I would be willing to wait or is it not likely that you will make a kit to fit it to the 99 model?
Sincerly,
Jonathan
