Hello I have the w203 c200 kompressor 2003 with automatic gearbox and I'm working on rebuild it it's need little work I like your video keep going brother

[@PhillipGriffin3211]

Sounds good!

[@vasilegeorge2908]

You should have changed the PCV valve, I saw a lot of oil in the intercooler and compressor!

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

Just found your video, Good stuff man!. I have a 2005 c230k that I am working on now it had a broke cam shaft. I am pulling the engine and going thru it, looking at your mods.

[@RicerBenz]

Thanks so much and good luck Hope you will be behind the wheel soon😁😎💪🏼

Boa noite ,parabéns, ficou top

[@andrewchapa9911]

Two years ago and you’re helping me today!! Really appreciate the walk through and helpfull to know which deletes are a go. Just one question as to what you did to the other end of the hose that goes to that box right after the intercooler into the engine

[@andrewchapa9911]

I’m seeing now it’s right on top 😂 thanks again

[@jessicalongmire4235]

Sounds great keep up the great work, i too am working on restomod 03 C230K m271, would removing the air intake manifold be necessary to remove the supercharger silencer?

[@RicerBenz]

Thanks for the positive comment😁🙏🏻 The one inside the supercharger ? No I think you can remove it without removing manifold and supercharger. 😁👌not 💯 sure but I’m sure if you look you’ll figure it out 😎 If I can do it anybody can💪🏼✌🏻also it doesn’t make it much louder...

[@az0968616]

Is the sound a combi of the smaller pulley and the power filter?

[@holycrussader9501]

I need your help! I changed the supercharger pulley on my C180K and after i was done with putting everything back together my car was running rough when idle and after a few seconds i start to hear a small like banging noise coming somewhere from the engine unlike your louder bang i get a lot smaller ones with a more metalic sound. I would really apreciate your help

[@shanewright7450]

I'm going to do this 100 this year thank you so much

[@RicerBenz]

🤘😁🤘

[@emrysa3066]

I wanted to asked what size is the Piece of pipe from the intercooler to the supercharger

[@artofpersonaldevelopment9780]

What was done to the by pass valve?

[@user-vs7zp1mr7s]

He guys I have the exact model c180 and I was hoping someone could tell me the circumference diameter of the smaller pulley to replace the factory one maybe a brand name would be appreciated too Thanks guys cheers

[@ioannissideras9395]

hey! the "pshhhh" sound is from the filter???

[@andresbanrevi7506]

Would be nice to have the links where you get those things 👍👍👍

[@RicerBenz]

Andrés Bánrévi Thanks for the advice 😁 If you are talking about the parts , I had the pulley custom made and the intercooler is from a supplier in Johannesburg. (Mr Turbo) we don’t have the best online shops here in South Africa 😅

[@andresbanrevi7506]

Neither in Spain where I live hahah

[@shanemorris8394]

@@RicerBenz Hey Man, know this is an old Vid but can you maybe give a breakdown on the parts and pricing. Like what did Mr Turbo charge for the intercooler? Its leka mods which i self want to try on my W204. Cost on that pulley as well

[@RicerBenz]

Shane Morris no problem I enjoy all comments. Intercooler was +-R2500 Plumbing is weirdly expensive,about R200 per 90bend Pulley removal and new pulley was about R500 if I remember correctly. Lucky the guy who did the pulley is also a car guy. Helps loads when people understand the dreams😁 Yep pretty sure if you have a w204 kompressor it’s the same engine😁enjoy!

[@shanemorris8394]

@@RicerBenz Awesome man thank you. Will get that Intercooler goodies in the meantime. Will see where i can source that pulley. Yes m271 engine. Exact same. With that great gains you got. Looking forward to doing mine 😁😁

[@jessicalongmire4235]

I was also reading the car can make a max of 12psi of boost before causing motor problems

[@RicerBenz]

The engine or the supercharger? Thanks for the info🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jessicalongmire4235]

I believe the car can only handle a maximum of 12psi, as i was looking into a turbo build. I found this online; M62 Max boost: 10psi/460cfm @ 14000 rpms M62 hp gain: 7hp @ 4000 rpms, 36hp @ 14000 rpms M62 Operating temperature: 135° @ 4000 rpms, 180° @ 14000 rpms

[@RicerBenz]

@@jessicalongmire4235 Damn😁💪🏼that’s some good info. I am looking into a turbo setup too but for the amount that has to be spent and the power gains won’t be worth it it seems🙈 What do you think about m111 engine swop then turbo😁😁😁🤤

[@RicerBenz]

@@jessicalongmire4235 with my smaller pulley I’m currently at 8psi

[@mygoalcrash8077]

@@RicerBenz how small pulley was? im on stock pulley i think geting 6psi

[@mrwest77]

Hi! Great work!! I didn't understand two things.... - How did you manage the fault codes? They were just fake... or did you get some real problems? - Did you measure the inlet air temperature? I mean... the air filter in this location without an airbox and without the hose coming from the front of the car could get hotter air than before...

[@RicerBenz]

Hi thanks man appreciate that😁😁 I always just cleared the faults codes and then they didn’t come up again 🤷🏻‍♂️would not recommend 🤣🤣and yes definitely hotter air means less power but at that power level it’s not much at all . Stock airbox works fine if a person can maybe fit a cone filter in it that would make it breathe a bit better🤷🏻‍♂️😁💪🏼

[@davishahn3101]

There is also a K&N high airflow filter that fits into the stock airbox, its the E-2011 (i think). I installed it and you can almost hear the Kompressor screaming with the lid mounted, without the lid it alsmost screams like in this video

[@andremavromati9057]

Hey great Video, could you tell us the intercooler model number and size? Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@RicerBenz]

Thanks for the positive comment 🙏🏻much appreciated! Intercooler size is 550x180x65mm I’m not sure about model number 🙈

[@patry1027]

Where is blow off now? If you plugged this valve with a metal plate? It seems to me that the air has nowhere to go now?

[@kelvinwoodward8021]

Where did you get the bonnet grille with the star badge from as I’ve been after one for a long time now and can’t find one please?

[@RicerBenz]

[@LP-um5yc]

hello ssi very good I have a 2005 slk r171 with 1.8 engine and 163 horsepower with smaller pulley remapping of the control unit and final exhausts .. .. I wanted to know how you got that whistle mat on your mercedes. Thanks in advance for the answer

[@davishahn3101]

He has a stock supercharger, its the eaton m65 supercharger.

[@mygoalcrash8077]

howmcuh smaller is pulley? did you remap yourself?

[@kwstascharisiadis5065]

I have a c200 m271 163hp tuned about 200 hp. I would like to know if update to custom intercooler will give me more hp or only this sound? This sound is from the valve that you disconect or from the ic update? Thnaks in advance

[@RicerBenz]

Wow that’s more than mine😁I’m looking into another engine now.😅😂I don’t think the intercooler makes a big difference but then again I’m NO expert 😂my “hot” intake doesn’t help much too😂😂😂

[@arturaspf2566]

For any sc car with root supercharger and expecially with smaller pulley, intercooler and colder spark plugs is in must. Roots style SC generates many heat compared to turbo or screw/centrifugal type SC... On stock engine it adds like 7hp if m271 engine is. IAT sensor perfectly sends info into ecu about compressed air temp , but lol, if you tune it, you will get much more potential, due reduced detonation possibilities.

[@21jsboy]

There is a big boost leak from the supercharger throttle plate, U blocked where it mounts but U didn't block where the mouth of the throttle plate, this is going to make U lose boost

[@RicerBenz]

Ayden Hasna yep thanks I fixed it after reading more about it. Car did not like it at all. Major boost leak🙈thanks for the advice 👍

[@espadasmoran]

how you did the wastegate sound so loud, mine barely you can hear it, and also de SC does noto sound that loud :(

[@RicerBenz]

I disconnected the bypass valve. Then the sc is much louder and it makes the blow of valve sound. But the car doesn’t run like it should as it is getting false air flow readings.

[@espadasmoran]

@@RicerBenz ohhhh Thanks for the advice, so its not recommended, Thanks

[@davishahn3101]

I have one question, ist if possible that the normal front would fit again? I live in germany so the TÜV would say no to that front.
