Marcin’s Mercedes CLK 200 (W209) originally came with a supercharged 1.8 L M271 inline-four making 163 hp. He swapped to a turbocharged 2.3 L M111 inline-four making 450 hp and then to a turbocharged 3.2 L M104 inline-six making 520 hp. It is now powered by a turbocharged 3.6 L M104 inline-six making 700 hp and 900 Nm of torque on 1.5 bar of boost. The motor features a filled block, forged stroker rods, ported head, upgraded valve springs, Bosch 980 cc injectors, and GTX3582R turbocharger. Behind the motor is an 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission running a TurboLamik controller. In back sits a W140 210 mm rear end with 3.69 ratio. A set of Cosmis XT206r 18-inch wheels cover Brembo four-piston calipers with 370 mm rotors and Brembo two-piston calipers with 330 mm rotors. View more photos of the car in the build thread.

“It is now powered by a turbocharged 3.6 L M104 inline-four”
I assume this was a mistake, because M104 is an inline-six, not four.
Thank you. Article updated.
Btw m104 is such a nice engine, very comparable to the Nissan RB-Engines.. And can hold comparable figures to RB- or JZ-engines.. The only pooper about these engines is that there are only few aftermarket parts.
