Pulley Kit

bazzle · 06-27-2006

I fitted the ASP pulley and LinH's MAF relocation kit. etc to my pre2000 SLK230

Really worth the $$$

Due that I don't have a 230 or even a 320....does the pulley kit actually make a large difference in your cars????

remember that the 230 is a 4 cylinder supercharged engine, so a pulley kit on the 230 is like adding a pulley kit on the 32'..... it increases Boost levels. So a 25-40HP gain is easily obtained. On the V6 320, when adding a pulley kit (i have it...evosport) all you are doing is "underdriving" the crank pulley, alternator & waterpump).... it shows 10hp gain in the dyno in the REALLY low rpms.... (1-3K), so is the kind of power gain that will make a little difference & after that you just get used it...

How hard was it to do the upgrade from ASP? any additional costs besides what you get directly from them in the kit? I think the website said about $650 for the kit right?

myslk230 · 08-12-2007

how many differnt kits are there?

maliqua · 02-21-2008

Is there anyone out there who knows where I might find one of these pulley kits, all the posts are so old and they don't seem to be available anymore at the sites mentioned.

(98 slk230 stock presently)

Go to ASP Racing

http://www.aspracing.com/frame.htm

.. and then under 'street pulleys' select 'Imports'. Scroll down to Mercedes and you'll see the kit for a '98 - '00 C230 (includes pulley, MAS relocation pipe, plugs, fuel pressure regulator and belt). It should fit a 98 SLK. I had a similar kit on my '99 (from Linh) and it worked great. A little pricey @ $1,200! Kit #ASP331320

**richard_leeds** · 02-22-2008

Apologies for my ignorance... what is a pulley kit ... and what is it meant to do?

**Gabus** · 02-22-2008

Hi Richard

In short you put a smaller pulley on the blower to increase it's rpm. By doing that you increase the blowpressure which gives you more omph........
I have a kit on my '96 230K together with some other stuff, and it reads 240 PS/350NM on the dyno

maliqua · 02-22-2008

Awesome Thanks
any idea what type of HP increase one would see with that kit? it doesn't list it on the site..

Either way if it's more than 5-10 it's worth it i figure (and it's an easyish mod to get me started)

aha, so only works on turbo/supercharge/overcharge etc? Not my normally aspirated 350?

You would gain over 10 PS easy......... But when you compress air you get heat, so you should also consider a bigger cooler.....

Together with a ECU mod, K&N filter I've gained 47 PS. ( or not me, but the last owner of my car)

Turbo's don'thave a pulley...

and a pulley kit can't be used in your 350.
But you can get a blower.... http://tinyurl.com/2stuxe

oops .. I'm showing my ignorance, that's what I thought you meant by "blower".

So a "blower" is a fan to blow air into the intake of a normally aspirated engine?

A pulley kit is a smaller pulley to increase the rpm of the bower?

**Gabus** · 02-26-2008

Not exactly a fan..... It's an air compressor also called a blower or a supercharger

http://tinyurl.com/2vwgsq

By increasing the RPM's of the compressor you force more air into the motor. To get more RPM's you need a smaller pulley on the compressor or a bigger pulley on the crank, or a combo of those two. I've think I read somewhere that the compressor in the SLK 230 can take about 16000 RPM's

By putting a compressor in the SLK320 AMG gained 136PS/140NM which became the 32AMG.......

Sorry to but in guys, but can this kit be used on the 200K, if not can anybody recommend one?

yannismd · 03-05-2008

I've heard of some stories about kompressors that blow up after using pulley kit since the kit increases kompressor's rpm .
Does anybody know anything about it? I don't want to put the kit and after a month to pay for a new kompressor unit!
Is there any guarantee from kit providers?
