W201 Die Reiser Build

[Duhafnusa4]

Great work here. I will be following this closely for the pin outs and hopefully adding some information as I go along with my own build.
I got my RUSefi a few weeks ago and am just waiting for a 2001-2004 SLK230 kompressor engine harness to arrive, also waiting for a valve cover too so I can convert my ignition system from 2 coil to 4 coil set up.
Then once the ECU is in and tuned, I will be then doing my 6 speed manual swap.

Anyways, keep the updates coming!

Hey! Pinout has already been shared. Why do you need a new valve cover? I am using the one that came with my engine with some audi R8 coils no problemo. What crank trigger are you using?

Do you mean, this pin out.... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

The O.P. added that link a while back. I don't know how close it is to the 01 and up SLKs though.

Thanks bb xoxoxo

If yall need a basemap lmk

So waiting on transmission still, and needed a better daily, which may become my next stanceworks build...

2007 Saab 9-5 2.3t 5 speed with a stage 1 flash already (300 ft lbs of torque steer goodness)

The forums kinda suck, get on the rusefi slack for quick responses to any questions, and the github for the wiki and detailed information.

Will do! Oh, and check your PMs.

Got it. LOVE THIS!!! Will do! Thank you! After that, it looks like i'll be spending a bit of time on the RusEFI forums.

Soo, GOLD, or Fools' Gold? F' it - GOOOOOLLD! LOL Thx! Yeah, I will research on my own-just in case! This makes life a heluva lot easier!

hahaha yea! Just so you understand how I laid it out: there are the 6 factory harness plugs that are labeled KA KB KC KD KE KF. Before chopping those, label each wire as I marked, so you know which to keep and which to toss, then reterminate into the micro rusefi harness to the pins as shown, or whatever ones you want it to be. Should be pretty straight forward.

It's all good! Have no clue on Google Sheets-sucks you can't just, "insert image"... Question for you though. I've got a 99' slk230 that I'm entering in Grassroots Motorsports' 2000 Challenge. the 230 cost $1k: 800 for the car $200 to replace a destroyed wheel. I've got a "K" left to make it competitive. Engine-wise, I'm thinking of going this direction;

OPTION 1
1. Stock ECU, no mods
2. mb-motorsports CLK Pulley kit
3. Siemens (or compatible) 330 injectors (Max ECU can handle 15-20% over stock)
4.M113 Throttle body
5. MAF relocation
6. Ported Eaton M45 SC
7. 2 steps colder spark plugs (NGK BKR8E-11)
Haven't listed everything-just basics

OR

OPTION 2
Twin-charge
1. RusEFI
2. OEM Supercharger (Low-mid rpm boost)
3. Cheap CXRacing turbo (mid-high rpm boost)
4. 440 Siemens injectors
5. Cheap two inlet to one outlet intercooler
6. Used OEM Flapper/Actuators controlled by Arduino

Obviously option 1 is cheaper to accomplish, and leaves a lot more in the budget to do other performance modifications, but in the end, I'd like to make sure I'm seeing that magical, 10lbs to 1hp ratio! Any an all thoughts are appreciated.

Just FYI oem air fuels are really lean (13.4 at WOT) so be careful there. Also your 99 should have the M62 not the M45, the M45 is hot garbage.

Option 2 is what I am doing after the manual conversion.

LOL sorry I didnt die. Work and such has been wild. Does anyone know how to attach a google sheets file to a forum post? That would help a lot.

[2GRX7]

Soooo, any updates?
