W211 -Mods , What to do next ?

[Guest bac]

Greetings,

I am a newbie here.

Read the other modification thread with interest. So many things can be done.

Kbox,C230 compressor,intercooler ,header and so on......

My question is what to do first, one by one. Doing everything in one go will not be able to feel the various effects of each items.

I want to start with Kbox( pulley, air filter, regulator ) first. After this what should be done next and so on.

Last question, fixing the kleeman header without having a straight thru cat, will the power be significant ?

Thanks in advance. Cheers

From my own personal experience with modding - it is absolutely vital that you have a combination of the following :-

.Workshop/mechanic with intimate knowledge of the vehicle

.What do you want out of your ride ? Brute HP, handling etc ?

.Sufficient research on proposed mods

.Lots of spare $$$ if you are very very adventurous with your mods

Setting a target to maximize your mod work is very very important as it will help

you stay focused. Better to do it all at one go IMHO as you will save on the labour charges in the long run.

IMHO, most aftermarket tuners already have indicative/conclusive reports for their parts showing the benefits so it's no point for you "testing out" each part really.

What I think you might want to do is to work out which combination of these parts will work to give you the best results. Better yet, just go for a stage 1 or 2 upgrade! ;D

thanks for the reply.

All the options that I 've stated are available from kelvin. May I know what is stage 1 & 2 consist of ? pardon me, not sure.

Check out the kleemann site for a rough idea on what entails the different upgrade stages:-

I understand its going to be $$$.

Not intending to do all at once or for sheer speed.

Just inquiring after Kbox, what is the next logical option ?

Intercooler , header or compressor......
