wow im a shitty forum guy. Lets keep this alive.

LOTS of progress happening. Bigger injectors, better tune, and been working on the EVO I conversion. due to fighting in europe I wasnt able to get the whole kit, just the front fenders and rear arches. I got my arches cut, welded and sealed and 3M window welded those puppies on.

Shes now on 17x10 ET35 RPF1s all around on Nittos. big 330mm rotors and brembo calipers, etc...

Sideskirts, I got some duraflex but shit man they need a lot of work. Ill get them on. Then wrap in Honda Championship White (I need a good, reasonable wrap person in the nashville-lousiville area)

Oh and my period correct made in west germany tan cloth recaros are in. bit by bit.

project isnt dead, just building a Turbo M111 W124 for a customer at the same time LOL.

updates will be back soon

[Duhafnusa4]

Im not dead

Ive been working diligently with the rusEFI team for the mercedes M111/M112 PNP Hellen ECU!

I have mine and will be installing it soon. In the meantime I have been building my digital dash. Heres a garbage video of first start up. I will be reducing start up time and having TunerStudio start automatically and have a nicer display. Also it connects and controls the ECU!

You're killing me on the pic-tease!

Update:

I have been working on my twincharging, originally I was going to use the stock manifold and modify for the turbo flange, but the stock manifold is garbage and the flow is trash. I ended up buying some sch10 weld els and Ts and made my own log, with a massive 60mm HKS knockoff (with real HKS diaphragm and such). Fitment was tricky but I have room for my 3" downpipe, supercharger intake, turbo intake, bypass, wastegate, and still some left over for heat management. LOL

I also got a "new" untouched engine harness, and I am shaving the bay of all unneeded wiring. MY ECU will be the new RusEFI Hellen (built in wideband, ETB control, knock etc....) that has the Mercedes 128 pin plug built in. AKA Plug and Play baby. Just needs a subharness for my additional sensors (running 3 map sensors, wideband, coil on plug, egt, etc...).
Pics of the progress in the next post.

Time to make shit happen

Happy Sunday!

In process of packing up to move, but found some time to do work on the 190e. The rear suspension bushings were trash so I headed to rock auto and picked up some new arms (6 in total) for 60 shipped LOL (not oem quality im sure but hella better than the 35 year old garbage.

Once on (some were easy, others a total PITA) I borrowed my buddies Paco Motorsports Alignment plates (amazing stuff)

Alignment specs:

Front: -2.5 deg camber, .1 deg toe in
Rear: -2.0 deg camber, .2 deg toe in

I also drilled new holes for the E36 camber plates so they adjust perpendicular to the car. Before in the 190e holes, they reduced caster as I added camber (ew gross yuck)

I got my caster back, and it drives so much better (was 0 deg toe before becuase racecar, but that sucks on a freeway) Just a smidge of scrub in the front left (telling me to loose this winter weight )





Also I got tired of my half assd exhaust (the front half was nice but I ran out of 2.25" pipe and used 1.5 (ew). It was also 1 piece.

Its now 3 section (with 2 v bands) all mandrel bends, and I added a resonator to hopefully get rid of the drone at hwy speeds I have. It will get all redone when I go turbo for 3" but now I have a template to build off of for that, that I really like.

yes welds are ugly, no they dont leak, (flux core mig) 3" turbo one will be tigged. Clearance so far seems good (no scraping or rubbing)




Import alliance in bowling green ky (where I live) is coming up in a few weeks, I plan on fixing a bunch of smaller things ahead of that (repaint door handles and front bumper, find new rear bumper, make center caps, yellow headlight film, give her a good wash, etc)

Ill update as I can.

also, in april/may the twincharge setup will be starting

This build is by far my fav 190e build I have seen. The swap is amazing and affordable choice. Id def o this path if i ever get a 190

Thanks man!

I have some big things coming for it once my house closes and such stay tuned

That would actually be perfect....

PM me and let me know what you want to do then.....

[Duhafnusa4]

Stay warm- I'm hearing a lot of friends up north, having a hard time dealing with this- seriously SUX! Was thinking about SC/TC setup, (and got the parts to do it) but decided to just turbo, so I've got another SC bypass (to airbox) I'm not using if you're thinking of going in that direction.

That would actually be perfect....
