Mercedes 190d om605 superturbodiesel

[loudsam]

Mercedes 190d has the car for about 4 then I’d had enough of the slow pace. So in the 18 month I’ve changed the full fuel system from the tank with braided hose and AN fitting. Fitted a OM605 from a c250td with a dieselmeken 8.0mm 200cc pump coupled to a w211 e270 cdi 6 speed manual gearbox 716.654. Custom flywheel conversion from dual mass flywheel zf racing engineering 764pp and organic friction plate. Hx40 superturbo on a custom made manifold with a 3” stainless steel exhaust system . R129 front hub and big brake and rear brake conversion with master cylinder and booster all brake line changed for braided. Shortened prop shaft and rebuilt diff. Front mount intercooler and aluminium intercooler pipes. Probably some other bit a and it will never be finished I do fancy fitting meth injection but I will see in the future and I’ve got a few little jobs to finish.

Is the project running?
How are you getting on with the 716.654 box? Have you utilised the original linkage and does it rattle at all?
Thinking of upgrading mine at some point....
Cheer!

I bet that’s more entertaining to drive than listening to Fred West talk about Groundforce!!

Yeah the 716,654 does rattle a bit I did take the box out at one point because I though there was a problem with it but found nothing wrong it is just a noise rattle gearbox and I think the clutch friction plate might be a bit noises as it is sprung but not to sure.

I used the 716,654 gearbox linkage just shortened it by 4 inch I think but it might fit better in your w124 as it is a bigger car the gearbox is very tight in the 190.

It can be a handful in the wet but it is good fun on the A and B roads just needs a bit stiffer or sportier suspension.

[loudsam]

New differential well new to me from ac250td 2.87-1 ratio so should give me better drivability and better gear range as the 3.87 I have in at the moment 1 gear is useless no point in using it and it is doing 3500 rpm in 6th so no good for motorway cruising give it good clean on Monday a paint and hopefully fit it Monday or Tuesday.

Finally got around to swapping the diff over I just had to make a hybrid w124/w202 diff for fit in the 190 subframe. Drive shaft flanges and input flange from the w124 remover the w202 drive and input flange and fit the w124 one in its place so I can use my big diesel drive shaft.

Love it! Sleeper for the win!

Apparently the police don’t like the black smoke that falls out the back of my car on boost but the new differential is a lot better not doing 3500 revs at 60 mph now.

Did you get fined or just a recommendation ?

Nothing just a talking to they spouting loads of rubbish about a PG9 and they said they had video but couldn’t prove any video when asked. So I just got a talking to probably had nothing else to do it was a Sunday evening.

Well the new suspension has arrived hopefully this will sort out the handling. Rebuilt one of the rear hubs as the bearing is a bit noises. I just need a bit of time to install in now.

[loudsam]

Finally got around to fitting the new suspension and changing one of the rear hubs.But I’ve not had anytime or good weather to take the car for a good run out. So I thought I might change the water pump and idler pulley to try and find an annoying squeak but after doing that I think it was the alternator 😩

[loudsam]

I thought seen as I have fitted all these new suspension components I thought I might make myself a strut brace for the rear and fit the rear toe angle rods on the back with new poly bushes

Strut brace made with 40mmOD cold drawn seamless tube couple of piece cut at 45 degrees and the middle notched at each end and bolted on top of the shocks

So much awesome here.

Have you managed to drive with the new suspension yet? What’s it like?

How many rpm at 60/70 now?

Have you got an idea what power it’s making?

Not been out yet with the new suspension I’m itching to get out tho I’ve just been really busy. Kids get in the way of all my fun 😂😂

It’s doin 1500-1600 rpm in 6th gear now at 70 mph so a lot better than 3500rpm.

And I did engine dyno the engine just to check and makes sure everything was ok and it made 407 hp with the external wastegate opening at 7 psi so hopefully a bit more now as I can’t control the waste gate with a boost controller.

Hi, how You mount this diff from C-klas to W201 ? Have you used original (4 bolts) diff cover from W201 or other makeovers ?

Sorry for the late reply mate. You need a diff mounting plate from a diff out of a 2.6 w201 or a cosworth as they had medium sized diff housing

[adamollo]

No problem, great to know, so i would start collecting parts
