Kleemann pulley for a C180K W203

[blueserenity777]

Has anyone tried fitting a kleemann pulley kit meant for C200K and C230K to a C180K..the performance kit for the C180K is just the Kbox which boost its HP..for the C200k and C230k, there is a pulley,waterpump attached for more money of course but more power..Since engines are all M271, will it cause me issues if suggest pulley,waterpump option as well..This is all with the headers fitted as well..K2 kit..

the C180K is said to go from 143hp to 215hp..

I have looked at this and in my Bigger supercharger thread I am confronting the same issues. The problem with the pulley/supercharger option is that our cars have a higher compression ratio than the C230. In theory the higher compression ratio should mean we are running potentially higher hp engines , HOWEVER, we have difference pistons and ECUs than the C230. Our engines can definately be tuned to give 200bhp or more but at what price. BTW no one has ever dynoed the kleemann setup at 200bhp on a C180k and very few kits seem to have been sold in the uk.
