![]() ![]() Worse, it sounded as if it had an acute and chronic case of gastrointestinal distress. Higher in the rev range, the 2.3 was rough. The previous engine felt weak at low revs, despite its power advantage and greater displacement. On the other hand, the new motor allows the hatch to go another four or five miles on each gallon of gas, depending on whether you get the six-speed manual or the $1325 optional five-speed automatic.Įven better, with this engine the C230 is, if not exactly transformed, at least a more pleasant thing to use. This is not something most owners-the majority of whom we don't anticipate will go bracket drag racing-need worry about. Try as you might, the engine will not rev above 4000 rpm with the clutch pedal in. We attribute this, in part, to an engine-management system that will not allow for abusive standing starts. Indeed, the sprint to 60 mph for the 1.8-liter 2003 model is an unremarkable 8.1 seconds-more than a half-second slower than the 2002 model. The new 1.8-liter engine makes 189 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 192 pound-feet at 3500 rpm. The old 2.3-liter-still the base engine in the SLK hardtop roadster for 2003-makes 192 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 200 pound-feet of torque at 2500 rpm. It's down about a half-liter of displacement compared with the old engine, and it makes less peak horsepower and torque. On paper, this engine would seem to be a step backward for Mercedes.

Why Mercedes Tuners Love the Supercharged 2004 C230 Performance Upgrade Additionally, we also use the power of tuning to make this C230’s engine perform to its greatest potential. To begin with, those very early supercharged models can be best described like this: “To drive them, to hear the shriek of the mechanical charger, to feel the power of its engine, to enjoy the luxury of the refined ambiance or to compete in racing… that was clearly the crowning glory of motoring.” Today, supercharged Mercedes look a lot different than their predecessors, but that sentiment and passion remains. At the Targa Florio race in 1922, a supercharged Mercedes would kick off a long series of wins for Mercedes and Mercedes-Benz racing cars. With the experience gained from supercharging aircraft after WWI, the first supercharged Mercedes were unveiled at the Berlin Auto Show in 1921. Indeed, the first supercharged cars came from Daimler-Benz in 1920s. A supercharger is used to boost car’s power and speed by mechanically increasing the intake of air. It is really just a fancy term for supercharger. Mercedes Kompressor, which could perhaps be mistaken as an autobot in the latest Transformers movie. ![]() Today’s Mercedes Tuners tuning story is about the 2004 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor Sport.

Blue usually adds mana to cast a certain type of spell, like artifacts, instants, or sorceries. Green is the king of mana producing and mana ramp so most of the ramp spells are green. Mana advantages in the form of rituals and Treasures may come another day. Today I’m going to focus on effects that give permanent mana advantage as opposed to one-shot effects.
