SLK 200 Kompressor
Carlsson CK20, Brabus K4 or Kleeman performance kit ?
Hello,
I plan to give a bit more power to my SLK 200 Kompressor. Yes, you will tell me I had to buy an SLK 280 or 350. But here, big engines are over taxed. Due to taxes SLK 280 cost 10 000 € than SL 200 Kompressor. Whatmore, each year, taxes are more then 2.5x times higher on 280 then on 200 Kompressor (250 € year).
This leads me to have a look for some engine tuning. I found 3 of them : Carlsson, Brabus and Kleeman.
Brabus K4 offers a moderate torque improuve : 260 Nm @ 4000 rpm and 192 hp @ 5500 rpm. The kit seems to come with some pullies and a piece of electronic. The kit coasts 2120 € including VAT and mounting. Monting costs 70 € so I guess it didn't take long to install. Unforunatly, Brabus does not give any dyno graph to show the power increase. Brabus germany gets me in touch with a local dealer so I hope this informations soon... Also great : 100 000 km or 3 years waranty.
Carlsson gives more torque with 270 Nm @ 3500 rpm and 195 hp @ 5500 rpm. With more torque and at lower rpm (compare to K4), it seems to be a very nice upgrade. Carlsson alos give dyno graph for the CK20 and they were the first to answer my mail with dealer contact. Price is a bit higher : 2399 €. The kit seems to have no electronic part so it's simple to install. The local dealer tells me that he needs the car one day long to install the kit. Carlsson gives by their own the same waranty as Mercedes.
Kleeman still didn't answer my mail. I only know they performance kit containt an electronic unit, beld and pullies. It brings 300 Nm torque and 210 hp. Both values looks very high for such an engine.
I search pro and cons for Carlsson and Brabus upgrade but didn't found any intereasting subjects (still searching). Any advices, experiences or link is welcome !
Sorry, for my poor english.
