W201 v.2.0

[1jze30]

Its only way togo doing own fab work You guys dont have E36 or E34's ? pull M50 out of those ealry models had the non vanos version, super easy. just get new pistons, rods, bolts and a athena gasket and you are good up around 600whp [/QUOTE]

We do have 34's and 36's and I have a really good hook up for parts but euros arent cheap and most people that bought them from the dealer were yuppies and drive autos
ive done a bit of looking bout ,and found a high k's manuel e36 but they are asking 4.5-5k
ive just thought I might just import a jxz90 half cut out of a chaser and have a easy 220kw
but to be honest im still in the air with it all

What does it show? Temp? Boost? Pressure? Speed? Weed?

It shows, Water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, boost pressure, laptime, 0-100 time, 400m time, speed, trip, odometer. what more could you want? oh yea the weed, it wont show nearest dealer

Nice build dude!, coming along nicely good to see your doing your own fab work,
I was going to put a turboed m50 in my e30, but half decent euros are costly and hard to come by here in Aus, Subd awaiting further updates

Too much too soon?

Anyway little story about my day today.

first take old instrument cluster apart and test fit Stack..

ok, make plate to fit stack in middle.. using old speedo face.

and test fit with it

then the instrumentcluster it self..

and test fit. BOOM on the money!

Testing the "demo mode"

And then demomode off (tested the tacho on the black benz)


After that i did install the headliner to the project benz..


Tight fit but its there.

Ok, time for some pictures. Its hard to see anything cause the interrior is black :P but anyways.. its moving forward.. central locking pipes in.. i still got couple wiring looms to sort out.. but that will happen when i can do proper assambly in so i know the lenghts well.. also ordered Stack ST700 today and Custom Bilstein Shocks from RallySystems in finland (builds alot of track and rally car suspensions) so the suspension going to be in line with the rest of the car..

enough wiriting.. pics.

Ok, some wiring stuff arrived, now what i need is wires.. altho i forgot to order sealings for small wires.. but i think i can get them locally.. the bigger seals + blockoffs was the problem and the terminals for big wires.. well hopefully next time something actual work have been done.

Also i almost got my suspension figured out. dampers are set, figuring out the springs is for laters (once the car is built and sitting on its own wheels so i can weight the car..)

[Exami]

Now, ive spent couple days front of computer drawing wirings.. i bought Painless Performance #10202 set with 28 Circuits.. but after while of planning and such i felt like i would need to make the whole wiring harness my self with Mercedes 'colors' as the Painless kit has GM wire colors...

So next week or two is going to be spent planning and drawing the wirings for the chassis so i know how much and what kinds of wire i need to buy and run around the car..

So here is how far im with the wirings so far..

Lights:

Engine:

Generally "power"

keep up the work man.
I'm not sure about those wheels tho, some Futuras would look on point.

I know futuras should fit nicely, these are 8,5x17 and 10x17 should be good, and ive seen too much Futuras on W201 benz lately so something different..

Hope you painted it beige and put a "TAXI" sign on the roof bro!

No m8, going to paint it champage, altho the outside is going to be painted after the car is drive able.. and such so outside looks crappy still ...
