Mercedes-Benz cars, mint condition and/or extreme boost
The Mercedes-Benz W201 is a compact executive car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz from 1982 to 1993, positioned below the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class — and marketed under variants of the Mercedes 190 nameplate.
The W201 featured a patented rear 5-link suspension, subsequently used in E and C class models, front and rear anti-roll bars, anti-dive and anti-squat geometry — as well as available airbags, ABS brakes and seatbelt pretensioners.
Todays delivery: QDF42B differential from Thomson Motorsport – https://tomson.com.pl/ https://www.quaife.co.uk/ I will need to take the hubs for the driveshafts and have them run in a lathe to accomodate the clip that will hold them in place. From factory the driveshafts are fastened with circlips after inserting into the diff, but since the differential itself […]
Engine: Bought a om603 engine picked up about 500km from home, the engine has previously been used with a 7.5mm Dieselmeken, but ran great and appears to be in good condition. Took a lot of searching before i was able to find a om603 engine in good condition. Also got a new head, so will […]

Tight fit with a Hx40 Holset a om603 and a supercharger in the enginebay of a w201 Intercooler and intercooler piping removed, one good thing about having a rear-mounted radiator. Head removed, al cylinders had leaks and traces of this in the gasket, will look for a replacement since i suspect crackes in it. Timing […]

The old radiator of the 2.5D turbo w201 (201.128) started to leak quite a bit, there was no way to find a direct fit other than going straight to the dealer. A201 500 91 03 / A2015009103 is the part number, made by Mahle and fit perfectly. The w201 2.5D turbo and the w201 […]

Had problem with the car accelerating. Would not rev past 2500/3000rpm without jerking violently. Removed the fueltank from the car along the fuelstrainer and was completely filled up with gunk/rust and dirt. Cleaning out the tank and the fuelstrainer got rid of the jerking almost completely, every filter was swapped and we had to […]
Had some problem with air leaking in our previous solution for injectors, so we decided to make proper injector seats.
We did the first startup of the m103 turbo w201 yesterday. A bit of trouble with setting up the trigger-sensor correctly and had to play with the settings of the ECU, Megasquirt MS3X, Engdahl Motorsport both made us a start-map aswell as supported us on the go with some feedback regarding timing. http://www.engdahlmotorsport.se/ The engine […]
3″ exhaust with a race cat, and a slimline muffler from Apple mufflers.
Found an acceptable manifold online which fit except for the WG which we had to reroute a bit. Turbo is a Schwitzer S200 with 0.85 AR.
Modified the tunnel to accomodate for the BMW gearbox GS6-37DZ while keeping the default interior. Gs6-37dz gearbox in w201 behind a m103, but should be the same behind a om603 or om606 aswell.
Intercooler mount for an intercooler from biltema here i sweden
We used a throttle body from a Volvo 960 since it has a real TPS sensor unlike the stock M103 which only has a WOT switch. We then coupled that with the wiring etc. from a Volvo B230E. Next was converting the kjet injector seats to use bosch style injectors which turned out to be […]

Hello Got tired of the old worn stock shocks of the KYB brand, aswell as wanted to swap out the cut stock w124 rear springs. The stock w201 springs is in my opinion way to soft, even when driving normal, put two persons in the backseat and it will start to behave irrational on the […]
Had some problems with the frontbrakes, vibrations when braking more aggresive, not something that belongs on a Mercedes. swapped the front discs for new ATE discs, and the difference was huge. Swapped both inner and outer tierods at the same time aswell as the play eliminated made a huge difference in how tight the stearing […]

brake upgrades on w201
Start by getting the water and cooler of. This is very easily done by loosening the three bolts on each side of cooler-bar, by the headlights. There is also one screw in the center, down by the bumper. After this you loosen the hose going to the water coolant reserv and collect the water coming out into something. […]
Got the timing wheel installed. It’s a 60-2 wheel from Turbobandit in Sweden meant for the M103 crank pulley. I’m very pleased with this piece. It is the same thickness as and therefor replaces the balancer. It’s a pretty simple process in theory but I had some problem getting the harmonic balancer of since I […]
This example is on a 190e 2.6, swapping the original 3.27 diff for one from a 2.3 16v with LSD (also 3.27). For a list of possible gear-ratios, check here: http://mbturbo.com/gear-ratios/ Start by loosening the exhaust and the metal protector going around the cardanshaft right in front of the differential. They are going to […]
When I bought this car, it had a 12″ sub woofer that was sliding around in the trunk. It was always in the way and also, the sub didn’t sound to well. Turned out that the enclosure didn’t have the correct dimensions, so no wonder. Anyway, I got an idea of installing it in the […]
