Has anyone here performed any tuning mods to their 320? Cant find anywhere offering parts apart from birds uk, and they dont exactly have much of a range.

Dont know much about the 320 engine really. What are its restrictive bits, where would the power be most readily gained? Its a 99 clk. Birds offer a supercharger kit which sounds great, but at over £5000 its almost half what the car is worth.

I was going to reply to this tonight, but as it seems you are an ungrateful git then I wasn't going to bother. As for poor mans merc owners? I own the new style clk320, but do I call you a tight wad for buying the old style? Grow up and stop throwing tantrums... it's about merc ownership, not slagging off what model people own.

If you apologise I will post some links for you to look at (if I can get them off my other PC)... but most of the bhp increase is minimal on a V6 (15-30bhp) it seems - the most gain seem to be on a diesel or with the petrol kompressor engine from the sites that I have found :(

I am sure if you looked through some of the older messages this may have been raised before?

He's picked the wrong engine if he wants to tune it. Better to go for a smaller Kompressor and change the pulley. 320s cost a fortune to tune and you don't get much benefit.
