Eaton Kompressor M45

This dude that i know has one of thes superchargers, he said it came off the c230K. I have a 1998 c230 will this fit on my car w/o problems?? What else will i need to install it, and how much should i expect to have it installed>? Any info would be appreciated. Oh yea and he wants $200, is that a good price?

If only it was that simple.
Aside from having to redo the electronic engine management components, etc., you have to realize the 230 K engine also has a different compression ratio, beefed-up internal pieces & so on.
It is simply not worth the $$$ & effort. ;)
Great price on the S/C though, if somebody needed a spare one., and providing it is any good.

Don't mean to hijack the thread just had a quick question... If i wanted to a similar thing by putting a 280 engine in a 220 would it be a direct swap?

Dont give up just yet. What do you think all the after market tuners are doing. They are just adding a supercharger to an engine just like yours. Your engine management may well adjust to the supercharger. If not go get a Unichip installed and that will take care of it

You just need all the parts.

Try searching the site on this subject. I asked the exact same question a short time ago and got some good feedback.

In short, the performance gain is not worth the expense.

I'm currently doing research on boost options for my C220.
