Reply With QuoteAn intake and exhaust is always easy and cheap compared to those expensive mods lol you could always do a tune too but idk what tuning shops you have there
Hey guys im new to the 202 club forum and i have been wanting to mod my engine but i dont know what to do to it to make it faster.
i dont have the money for an engine swap or anything like that just some simple things that will work.
any suggestions would be helpful.
p.s i live in australia so i cant have a turbo.

Vedo, put up a few pics of your car. It looks interesting from your avatar pic. I wanna see more! And yeah, do a custom intake and an exhaust. They don't make much for the W202, but it's not easily customizable like a Honda. Be creative!
May 2010 - July 2012: 2000 C230K, Highly modded, 142xxx miles, SOLD
July 2012 - Present : 98 C43, 109xxx miles, H&R Springs, Eurocharged ECU Tune, AMG style pedals, aftermarket CD player.
the avatar pic is just a what i photoshoped on my car haha its what i want it to look like. by the intake do you mean a pod filterOriginally Posted by C43inNC
do not do pod filter, that will decrease your performance.
for intake it piping going into the airbox is very restrictive, open that up
i dont understand what you mean, could you please elaborate ?
the only thing you could do is install the kompressor from a c200k or a c230k should be the exact same. otherwise intake, cats ecu and supersprint headers. that's pretty much all
Where is a good place/website to order a magnaflow exhaust?? I was on youtube and found that the 2.25" Magnaflow resegnator, racing cat, and muffler(14833)
sounded the best by far on the w202. Any suggestions are welcome, Thank You!
I used the k&n Apollo filter because it is enclosed to keep the heat away from it but you can make a heat shied and use any filter. There's a lot you could do you just have to be creative
what does that have to do with anything? Australia has a large tuning culture. The NA M111 wont get you far without a turbo. It is higher comp than the kompressor so you can't do decent boost on stock internals. I suggest an engine swap. How available are M113 V8s in Australia? You just need C43 engine mounts and any M113 model V8 and transmission will drop right in and bolt up to your rear end. Even the smallest 4.3L non-AMG V8 offers 279hp which is a little over double what you make now. Also they can be had for next to nothing, at least in america. The AMG 5.5L can sell for 2 grand for a long block. I imagine the 4.3 which is much more common is only a few hundred bucks.p.s i live in australia so i cant have a turbo.
I would recommend upping your brakes and changing the springs and shocks if you did this.
Completely mad.
'99 C230K, intake and exhaust more on the way.
'86 MKIV Escort RS Turbo, stock for now, chip and more boost on the way
'75 Fiat 124 Spider, koni shocks, bigger carb and drilled/slotted brakes
to tune and hoon the mbz master race.
In australia p platers are not allowed to have turbos and or V8 engines. I will do an engine swap but in the future if i get the money and the car lasts long enough ahha hopefully it will
