It's nice to see that I'm not the only SLK32 guy lurking around our close cousin SRT6 Crossfires... There's a lot of really great information on this forum and some very helpful people from what I have seen. So here's my first post...

From what I've observed, the SLK32 and SRT Xfires are mechanically virtually identical. What's more interesting is some of the parts seem less expensive on the Xfire. It will be really nice when someone puts together a cross reference of all the interchangeable parts and part numbers. As for mods, I have the Code 3 SC pulley that a number of SRT6 owners are running along with the Code 3 intake mod and a LET Motorsports custum ECU tune. Adding the SC pulley would potentially be too much boost with a 181mm pulley (I am currently running a stock crank pulley), although the Code 3 pulley has reportedly been used successfully with a 178mm pulley and ECU tune and possibly cooler plugs, but also with an upgraded heat exchanger and intercooler pump. The Code 3 intake mod is very simple and is not a cold air intake, but it opens up the plenum and Code 3 claims 13 RWHP increase in conjunction with their pulley boost. I would definitely consider a LET ECU tune among your possible mods and that goes for any car with an E32 motor (i.e., SRT6, SLK32, C32). My butt dyno tells me that the tune doubled the gains from the Code 3 pulley and intake mod...I would say something like 30-40 RWHP. No, I'm not exaggerating; the gain was incredible and the car became an instant animal.


It was mentioned above that the HE isn't interchangeable, but LET represents that their Xfire HE will fit in the '32...I have one coming and we'll see if they're right.

Thanks for posting as an SLK32 owner -- I don't feel quite as lonely out here now... And thanks again to the members of Xfire Forum.
