190e OEM+ build

[Greg]

i like them rims, imo BBS are very nice, but the most people have them
do you have pics of the MK2?

keep it clean and lean man, very nice ride you got there

It ended up being a little too much work for me (no garage space) so I unloaded it.

I remember liking your picture in IG where you put on fender spacers. How much clearance did it give you approx? Car is looking very clean!

The spacers are 3/4in. I still haven't installed them on the back of the front fenders, but I only rubbed the front on the fender and it fixed that issue.

Heres the BMW header, eyeballing the spacing looks perfect




Snowed during work, I made the best of it

Dude,

you just stole my header idea




Good for you!
Now I can just sit back and wait for the outcome

ARe the m103 2.6 and m103 3.0 the exact same block and ports?

Pretty sure the intake and exhaust are interchangeable between the engines.

[Respect Till Death]

woah sick! can you go into some detail on how you got the boot bopper to work? keen to do that myself to make way for an AMG ducktail

[AMGwheelwhore]

Interested to see how the headers play out. Keep it up.

[MBBelgium]

mmmmmmmm would these headers fit an M110 too?

Jup. Exactly the same headers. So interchangeable between both (I have both )

Only major defferences are:

-Heads (different valve and chamber sizing)
-Bore 2.6 (82.9 mm (3.26 in) and a stroke of 80.2 mm (3.16 in))
-Bore 3.0 (88.5 mm (3.48 in) and a stroke of 80.2 mm (3.16 in))

M103 2.6
The smaller 103.940 engine (158 in³ or 2597 cm³) produces 160 hp or 122 kW at 5800 rpm (with catalyst), 166 hp or 124 kW at 5800 rpm (without catalyst), and generates torque at 162 ft·lbf or 220 N·m at 4600 rpm (with catalyst), 168 ft·lbf or 228 N·m at 4600 rpm (without catalyst). It also used the CIS-E engine management system and had a bore of 82.9 mm (3.26 in) and a stroke of 80.2 mm (3.16 in). The only mechanical differences from the M103 3.0 L to the M103 2.6 L were the decrease in bore, smaller intake valves and a slightly different airbox. The CIS-E components between 2.6 and 3.0 variants are all shared for any given model year with the exception of the ECU making engine swaps from 2.6 to 3.0 virtually bolt-in.

I still have to prove that last point. But that something that will be soon available in my thread

A couple of friends went out after a show this fall, just some eye candy because my updates might be few and far between.

[loekaaz]

Any updates on the BMW headers fitment project?

[190Evan]

Yeah seriously I'm interested as well greg, also did you ever end up picking up those camber arms I emailed you about?
