As you all know,
the 200 is somehow the 'poor relative' of the SLK family compared to the V6 and V8 engines. The 163 hp that MB offers, are limited.
I 'd lke to remind you:
Horsepower: 163hp/5500rpm
Torque: 24kg (178lb)/3000rpm
0-100: 7,9secs for my 6MT
So, i decided that it was time to boost performance a little bit and make my ride faster. After a lot of research i decided that i had to move with
Kleemann
New numbers:
Horsepower: 210hp
Torque: 30kg (222lb)
0-100: ??secs for my 6MT (maybe 7)
Following from their site:
"Performance Kit contains a custom-made pulley set, high airflow filters and a K-Box. The pulley is CNC machined and the diameter is increased and precision balanced to ensure a long service life and full vibration dampening. A new belt idler and serpentine belt is also fitted to maintain OE specifications for belt tension and high-flow air filters reduce pressure drops inside the air box to maximize airflow.
The result is greatly improved power and torque throughout the entire engine operating range with crisp throttle response and perfect drivability. Power gains are as much as 20 percent both in horsepower and torque." Kleemann website.
