[QUOTE="ixeo, post: 1064033834, member: 14889"] Before the jokers rush in and tell you to change K&N air filter, put cold air intake, change exhaust system. I'll tell you don't waste your time. Its not going to be worth anything given the weight of the W210. Curb weight 1.7 tonnes. On paper 134 bhp and 190nM (19.35 kg-M) torque, and over the years some horses died. [url=http://www.viosturbo.com/2010/06/killing-boredom.html]Toyota Vios Turbo: Killing Boredom[/url] Here's a dyno of a W210 with the 2.4L V6 Engine, 137bhp and 17.89kg-M torque, compared to 168 bhp and 225nM (22.95kg-M) when new. So dead horses and tranny loss is about ~20% Using ~20% as tranny loss & dead horses correction, your car would make about 107.2bhp & 15.48kg-M on wheels. Keeping in mind the car is 1.7 tonnes, even at 137 bhp, its a waste of time. To tune your car to 137 bhp is an increase of 27.8%. Natural aspiration tuning to gain 27% is [b]very expensive[/b].
