W201 v.2.0

[Exami]

Test fitted intake. All start looking good, ecu is on its way to home, Radiator just got to me, fan also is already here. so now some piping and to make the front end!

[Exami]

By the way your POM-bushings look JUST like the ones I would need to my M5-project....

I got the lathe ready in garage E34 bushings shoudn't be that hard to make as there is so few and pretty simple..

Not much to update, been waiting for parts for past months, i keep missing the key part over and over.

its so near to finish for the paint. here is current state, planning for the front end.. but still the real radiator still missing, oilcooler, fan and some small bits..


All new hood+fenders test fitted and such

This time, its not about benz.

So todays agenda:
Hat off.

Pic of the enginemount:

Some playing with marker:

Cutting & grinding, hat back on and test fit:


So the custom ordered "bolt-on" manifold is now almost compatible with my W201! (how nice?)

[Exami]

Good news, bad news.

Good: I got the manifold, it looks apart, it fits to my engine, turbo fits under the hood.

Bad: I need to make my engine mount again(will not fit with the manifold), i need to make more room for exhaust (will not fit with the manifold), i need to plan new downpipe for exhaust(...)

So heres the photos, i had idea to bring camera with me to garage today to take better pics, but i forgot. So now you much suffer for horrible picture quality.
Manifold in + turbo attached.

how the manifold seems from front:

hood clearance:

planning for exhaust, not going to be like this as i need to modify enginebay more from left side to make room for downpipe.

Heres look on the spot that need modifications:


Plan for new engine mount:



And the newly planned engine mount in place, im pretty sure im going to make 1 more modification and that is extra support on top of the engine mount.(not 100% sure yet)


Next up, some more small modifications, couple places need welding and such. the manifold changed things abit. and on next week i think i get my radiator + intercooler stuffs + cardan stuffs. mr postman is so slow.. but anyways its moving forward, also im going to order Painless performance electriacal kit on next week (3weeks delivery time) so i have 3 weeks to make sure everything fits like it should and go for paintbooth(well hopefully at least? )

Exhaust manifold ready

Today is the day i get photos out off the proper camera so ill just link all the photos i uploaded. some are the same stuff before but in better quality. i broke my work light so some photos are quite dark because of that.

How it sits in garage:

Cleanded interrior:


New front bumper (Air condition model):



Rear swaybar modification photos:



Welded in:


Place for swaybar, i bet this will support the swaybar just fine


Thats pretty much my last week, next up, front modifications to fit intercooler + radiator + fan and such, will take week or two before that happens but..

oh yea sneaky peak of my upcoming exhaust manifold:
