Greetings!
I own a Mercedes CLK 200 Kompressor (w209) m271 1.8L going from Stage 2 (~241PS and 380Nm) to Stage 3 and have a few questions about upgrading the Supercharger.
Stuff like IC, exhaust, headers, cams, gearbox, ECU tune etc. has been done, questions remains about the Supercharger upgrade and further tune.
Currently, I'm running the stock Eaton m65 (which is a M45 version with another bypass valve), but would like to upgrade it.
The confusion I have is about the mentioned superchargers I can purchase due to availability/budget.
The M62 have longer rotors than the M45 and is suited for 2.5L to 4.0L where M45 is suited for 2.0L to 3.0L engines.
The TVS R1320 is suited for 2.2L to 4.2L engines, with upgraded 4 lobe rotors design, compare to 3 lobes for traditional root types.
About the TVS R410 I could not find any info besides the 0.4L air/rotation and the upgraded 4 lobe rotors design. (TVS R1320 obviously 1.3L)
My Question:
What would be the best upgrade, in terms of power/efficiency?
I have the following mods in mind:
1. upgrading to a ported m62 (due to bigger lobes)
2. upgrading to a TVS R410 (due to upgraded lobe design)
3. upgrading to a TVS R1320 which is obviously the biggest best choice, however I don't know whether it is overkill or not.
Eaton M90/M112 to consider?
Considering the boost drop due to front air intercooler, I want most efficient and max boost with cold air going into the custom aluminum intake manifold, with the least parasitic drag of the roots/TVS style blowers.
I don't mind the whine noise (actually like it)
Another question is whether to do a direct water-to-air intercooler after the supercharger, and possibly running a killer chiller mod with a switch if desired.
This is a daily driver, but I'd like a bit more power out of it, around 300 PS if possible.
Please do not recommend turbo or engine swaps, not possible for me.
Thanks and looking forward to your replies!
