Mercedes W201 190E 16V EVO

Thank you Thomas

Santa came early today, recieved my new Evo 1 springs, supposed to be 3cm shorter then the one i had,

Also recieved my 3.46 diff, been looking for one for ages, but finally found one.

And i also got my 6-point harness, front and rear Ferodo DS2500, and Mocal remote oil filter head.

New black springs and old red ones, same spec but the black ones are for the Evo
and should be 3 cm shorter




3.46 ASD diff, covered in mud,


3.46


Sandtler 6-point FIA harness


Front Ferodo DS2500


Rear Ferodo DS2500, these are not available for the 16v. These are for
a Alfa Romeo but can be made to fit easily.


Mocal remote filter head

been spending the weekend in the garage, and made some good progress i must say. First disappointment was the rear diff, i probably got an early 3.46 diff cause the crown wheel is too big to
fit inside my 16v housing, need to investigate this further.

Fitted my rear diff conversion from Elbe Engineering, aprox 75% constant lock-up. Easy to fit, huge improvement from the ASD.

Replaced my old Nürburgring springs with the Evo specific i got from H&R Motorsport department, these are shorter but are just as stiff 320/220 nm/mm. Will eliminate the huge arch gap. Bit concerned how low the sump will sit, especially as we have lowered engine further down the DTM engine mounts.

Dissembled rear 3.46 diff, supposed to be from a w124, crown wheels has 126 no stamped.


Elbe Diff conversion,


Front springs, left are 16v motorsport springs and to the right the Evo motorsport springs.


Replacing springs, again. hopefully for the last time


Rear springs, , left are 16v motorsport springs and to the right the Evo motorsport springs.


Getting closer, most of the parts have been installed now


Rear calipers with new Goodridge hoses, and restored caliperrs.


Ferodo DS2500 pads, as you can see it doesent sit right, it needs to be modified so
it doesnt foul the rotor. These pads are originally for a Alfa Romes, and some early Porsche
911 but can be modified to fit our w201. Need to grind of a few mm, the in will slip
right in.



Modified, this is the parts that spins the hydralic pump, buit it needs to
be removed to fit the DTM style blanking plate


Blanking plug for the outlet on the side of the valve cover, from ATEC:


And finally, valve cover back on!



That it for today, next weekend we are going to the Essen Motor Show, so no more updates for a while.

very nice, very nice,
what kind of a suspension

Hallo, springs and dampers are H&R Motorsport, mit Nürburgring Abstimmung, especially made for Evos with shorter front springs.

do you have any pictures of the modifikations from the back for the evo parts?

Hello Thomas, i havent started doing the rear yet. I will probably do it in the february.

Hey.

That looks all very nice.

Gruß Thomas

where did you buy it directly from H & R?
because my niveau fahrwerk, spinning around.
which cost the chassis

I talked with Herr Walter Wirtz at H&R, but i bought it from Sandtler.de, talk to Herr Jörg Erftmeier, he is very helpfull Joerg.Erftemeier@sandtler.de

You need to specify that you need it for an evo, because is the same article number as for ordinary 16v .

I have bought two kits from Sandtler now and im very pleased with them

Thank you for the info, I'll put him in connection with time,
you also have 60mm and rear 40mm VA

o.k. than i´ll wait till february.
i want to do the same, but i´m not sure, because of this, i need to look, how other people do this modifikation.

Fish, Vorderachse 80mm, Hinterachse 50-55mm

I post picture of the rear Evo conversion, but first off to Essen Motor Show on Friday

Ok, many Thanks

Hello,

which Ferodo Number have the rear brake pads? In which Alfa Modell they are originally installed?

Thanks for answer.

Regards,
Christian

Hallo Christian, Ferodo number: FCP2H (H for DS2500.

Finally made som progress, been in the garage all day. Yesterday i painted my diff housing. Today we have re-assembled it with new gaskets.
Propshaft with new flexdiscs are in place.

Painted


New seals:


New bolts for the diff, old ones to the right


New flexdiscs and bolts


Put the rear seat back in today, since we put the diff back in we
could connect the abs-connector again, and put the rear seats back
in.


And some motorsport memorabilia, a selection that im getting framed
for the garage.


And a few larger posters from Mercedes Motorsport, ill will get
these framed as well

Spent a few hours in the garage replacing the clutch slave cylinder. Noticed that the rubber seal was broken, its a good idea
to check this seal, especially when you have converted to manual, chances are that the slave cylinder has been emptied and
you will have rust inside and broken seals. Got a new one, but there are repair kits available..

New and old


Broken seal


Should have replaced it before i put the gearbox back in.

Thanks guys, manage to get some thing done today too. Had some hoses made up for the new oil cooler and filter setup.
I choose not to use your typical braided hose with fancy fittings, instead i went to company called Hydroscand, they
specialize in hoses for industrial applications. Its cheaper and i prefer the look of these.

They also had this rather suspicious looking box outside their office...


New hoses,


These are fittings for the vacuum system, we need it for MAP and
other vacuum controlled system like the central looking, we also
need a larger take off for the brake booster.


New original Merc jubilee clips.


I also trial fitted hoses, cooler and reservoirs, just to get the feel of it,
we are getting closer to the finish now. Just need to get that dreaded
Evo 1 kit sorted, so tired of it.

Hi Mikael,

like to see your finish
Looks all pretty good what you have done

Netten Gruß

Fränk

I agree with Fränk!!, it looks really good!!
