Turbo Mercedes! 2001 SLK320 ~ 6 Speed, Tint, 18 Inch AMG Wheels! Oh Yea!

 

Sick interior... I'd want some dyno numbers and time slips though. Interesting to me that he's running the turbo on the 6-speed... me likey

 

I'll find out if it's local and try to see how they did it. Looks like an air to air IC and the turbo is in a traditional place.

 

Someone needs to buy this for R&D purposes... Rudy?

 

"Due to the modified Engine Control Unit, the cruise control, ABS and traction control systems were all disabled when the turbo kit was added. The car is very well tuned so like most custom builds, the car runs and feels very different from its stock calibration. When starting the car, it cranks longer than a stock SLK would and the idle has some lope to it. All of these things are very minor and are not anything you should be concerned about in a car of this nature."

Not to keen on that part

 

I was thinking the same thing. I am not sure why cruise, ABS and traction control would need to be disabled to get the turbo to work. And, I usually associate a lope to a cam, and not an ECU mod. Maybe Rudy, Jerry or the likes can provide an explanation.

 

Drive by cable?

 

Nice car, but "why no CAI ?"

 

Odd, my turbo 3.2 has ABS, TRAC, A/C and starts up and idles like factory. And an SAFC is not an engine management system, It's a glorified map clamp with rpm dependent fuel adjustments.

 

I'm sure your car would totally rape this thing LOL! I just thought it was cool to see other folk's work.

 

I didnt mean for it to sound like I was boasting or anything. Just surprised at some of the misled comments in the for sale ad. I am glad someone else spent the time and effort to turbo an N/A 3.2. I would be more than happy to share any info and people to look at my car if they want to dive in to a turbo project.

 

I would imagine all the things that are not working can be figured out either by Rudy, or the guys at Eurocharged....That would be an interesting car to own...but, have to wait until her Mazda6 goes off lease....so, we have another year to get one...

 

Looks like they ran the air-to-air intercooler piping thru the CAI openings...

 

Wow, that is a real beauty! I wonder want kind of ponies she's putting down.

 

Turbo or not, the xf design cannot be compared to an slk according to me. So i would save the $$$ instead of buying it. Also very sceptic to other tuned cars thst have no warranty what so ever. Nice parts and base to build The xf on though XF rules I have to say, a new 2012 model SLK in White looks rather fit.. Too many on the road though..
