Been working myself to the bone at the shop.(heavy workload)
Aftr trying to convince the guy with the chassis dyno to give me the time of day approx 100 times i simply finally gave up.
..and..karma interfered
As some of you know i´ve installed a lightly modded head and some hotter camshafts since the install of the VEMS.
That coupled with a reduced lenght intake with a 80mm throttle body off of a BMW 840 and a full 3" exhaust.
Car ran very well,and to give you an idea i´d say that an educated guess would be that it developed around the 240 mark-with a shiftpoint@8000rpm.
Anyways.
One of the "stock" problems with these engines is the seizure of the oil pump pressure relief valve,and the installed engine was a stocker that i bought cheap with approx 200 000 km on it.
Had the notion to swap camchain and hone the pressure relief valve 2 weeks ago-on the given friday.
Welp..turned out that the pressure relief valve decided to seize thrusday night-and that was good night crankshaft and rod bearings.
Spoke the situation over with one of the boyz at the shop(Mikael),and..well let´s say that he handed me a different approach.
He calmly said...Karma..
-"Have in mind that that turbo project of yours has been sitting idly in one of the engine stands since we moved the shop,and with the workload you´re under...it´ll sit there for foreseable future."
-"What happend now was just faith telling you to put the effort needed into getting it all done and put it into the car"-
Said and done.
So..last two weeks i´ve been hard at it putting the turbo engine together,and from the looks of it it´ll be all done mid week to come.
For those that remember the idea is to make this one and old time era "GT" engine-Ie;and engine of reasonable power that´ll hold togheter for a fairly long time and that´ll propel the car into being a VERY fast roadracer.
So..specs are;
Stress hones stock block.Squared with the world in general(altho the mercedes blocks are sturdy and seldome needs tons of work in that dept)
Crank-stock forged Bofors unit.
Rods...
Pistons-Forged Mahle units.Rings are chrome top and moly second.
Head-lightly massaged and overhauled early 16V.Valves and size are stock.
Intake-the one you´ve seen beforehand.Basically a diffusor plenum equipped rip off of the audi sports ones.
Tubular exhaust manifold out of stainless sporting a Garett super T70 turbocharger.(good for just shy of 700bhp)
630cc Siemens racing injectors.
Intercooler is an old spearco race element with our own end tanks.
Basically the idea is to keep the setup thought through and simple(KISS),but at the same time keep craftsmanship and quality in mind.Adhere to the little details.
Furthermore the idea is to keep any and all "bling" as far away from this merc as possible.
In other words all the turbo rubber hosing asf....are black lacking any isignia iaf.
Furthermore...The car since a while back says-"190D" out back,couple with a streamer the other side of the trunk that says-"Who the fuck is "R"?"
Also installed a so called cup kit btw...that did wonders for the way the car behaves while under heavy duty load.
sonst würdest du nicht schon wieder solche scharfen Sachen verbauen.
