c280, I believe what you are looking for a Mosselman turbo kit. I think you would get a lot of good information about the Mosselman turbo and other mods for your c280 on the Engine Tuning forum at www.benzsport.com
old time benz'er
I have an older 97' c280 and I was thinking about buying a new car, then I thought what the heck...lets have some fun with it.
I checked with Brabus in Newport Beach [im in So. Cal] and they do a little "performance" kit for the c230k [sedan] but nothing for the c280 except a $15k engine displacement upgrade! All I was going to do was have someone pop in a turbo or supercharge it so that it would act a little sportier [like the c230k's].
I dont care about massive power anyway, and all the other cars [e-class etc] are just too big to park where I live in the city and are a pain.
The engine is a 2.6l straight-six and it has decent power but the throttle response [I think?] is much lazier than the smaller supercharged engines from MB [I've driven 3 kompressor sedans and 1 c230k coupe].
Any ideas? Specifically other places I could go to/call in Southern Ca. and see if there is anything [under $5000-$7000 or so] that I can do to spice this old car up? I havent had any luck finding any reputable MB tuners in Southern California apart from Brabus....which was surprising.
Or any other forums/websites? Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the long post.
