So what is the big deal with the Barbus? It looks awesome, but we cant even get them LOL.

Best part is the 97hp!

How can I get those wheels in the US? I assume they are the same bolt pattern and offset as the 451's ?

The motor setup would be nice too .... although, I don't think that is happening anytime soon ....

you should be able to get the wheels in Canada but not in black that i've found. only in the silver. i sent an e-mail last week to the below link but i guess they were closed down all last week for some type of holiday. back open tomorrow.

a Smart dealer in the UK told me that the Brabus, 98HP engined smart for two is exactly the same Mitsubishi motor with 10:1 compression, except it has a bigger turbo, or the ECU has been tuned by Brabus (not mitsu)

I want that setup! .......

I wonder what turbo it is using exactly .... ? Borg Warner? K03? Garrett GT12? ......

the mitsu turbo (factory unit) is for sale at:

Our near term problem is getting someone to flash the Turbo tune into our ECU... No MB dealer will do it

Complete factory new turbo motor assy is around $8400

Interesting in that the non turbo motor is the same cost..

My smart dealer can order the non turbo but is not allowed to order the puffed version...

Some in Brit say it is garret, some say Air research.... I don't think it matters... we need to see the manifolds and see if we can roll our own very easy....

Getting a new re-map would not be critical.... but...our motors are 4 valve with variable intake timing... this means we can't just slap one on and see.... well we could, but the results are predictable... the ECU power managment would go nuts...

Shucks...just let me know where I can get the exterior set up I'd be happy

ptblues · 02-01-2008, 01:08 PM

Matter of fact PM me on the exterior gear...
