I love this build. I love you. I love 190's. I love m50's. Aaaaaaand I would love it if when you get her running you post a video of the exhaust!

[Exami]

Thanks guys, videos will come when its done.. takes time but i really hope i get it running upcoming summer..

Wiring continues...

Testing rig... had todo some before hand testing to get the timer relays work as intended (20min shutoff delay on ecu and PDM) (to control fans with ecu ...)










This set contains 100% all the power needed in the car. actually 1 extra power as well(just in case)


And the system + wiring harness on its rightful place:

Steady progress... good to see!
Random question - is there any particular reason you are labelling your wiring loom in English?

Makes it more global, also as the ecu software + pdm software are in english, seems more logical using only one language, also some part names is easier like wiper motor compared to finnish

Wait is that twisted wiring your harness? Won't twisting the signal wires and sensor feedback nullify all of the wires signals as a whole? I may be mistaken or read it wrong but I thought twisting wires like that with opposing current generated a magnetic field which would interrupt all of the sensor feedback signals?

12V system shouldn't create magnetic field, also doing twisting like this is motorsport standard of wiring, it should take out possible interference.

Huh! Awesome thanks for that link, really good read and great info there.

Logical reasoning
I am, of course, biased with which is "easier".. but sometimes things seem very confusingly used in Finnish - for example, "tinaus" (not lyijyys) when referring to body-leading

Time for another update..

I got my missing bits for clutch.. (release bearing)

And with that cut here instruction:


After that, made some measurements... turns out its nogo.. not the first step backwards on this project...

Well that being said.. onto new way to deal with the issue, hydraulic release bearing from tilton.. and for that i need some way to mount it.. and here we go again..


Piece of 8mm thich aluminium..







And boom, now missing the new release bearing ^o)

And one extra shot


And then we continue...

Ext manifold came back from coating:



Aaaand the new flywheel is here..



So.. i had issue that gearbox main shaft wont reach the stock bearing on crank..

so.. I started with mounting of the flywheel..


Then milled spacer for the bearing..




Then mounted the bearing


Torqued the flywheel(100nm), redlocktite (weak one)


And then the clutch, clutch not yet torqued but mounted and ready to be torqued..

Got something done for benz..

Clutch slave cylinder fitted (hydraulic release bearing?!) anyway seems ok centered, i think my measurements are also correct cause...


Fitment seems ok from the peek hole.. Tilton states that the bearing should have 4 to 5 mm cap from release bearing to clutch..



new better bolts :p


Clutch line + bleeding line...

And how the adapter is made:



And last but not least, specs from tilton how to install hydraulic bearing with new clutch...




Benz has working clutch!
