[mantahead]

Hi,
i'm new here, i built this as a demo car for drifting, its a bit rough but it was only used for testing purposes.
i am currently building a new drift car, wide arch, with om606 engine from E300.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=5GITi-n9ZTU


engine revs to 7000rpm and runs 3.3 bar of boost.

[SLAMMED_C]

Now that's something you don't see every day!! Awesome!
Any pics of the build?

[mantahead]

here is a pic of the old car..http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc461/mantahead1/utf-8BSU1HMDA0MTMtMjAxMTA3MjctMjA1NS5qcGc-1.jpg

and some of the new build.
After a wee look around the yard i decided on my rear axle. lol

having some problems trying to get more steering lock at the minute, i have extended the bottom arms and moved the track rod end knuckles on the hub closer to centre for more lock.

anyone know if the w210 E300 has much more lock than the c250 w202, as i might transplant the steering rack from the e300 over and do away with the steering box?

a video when i was out drifting.

Badass!!!!! Love the pics and videos... Awesome that you are giving the 202 some drifting love!

thanks.

[RemoLexi]

Oh there you go!! That's my idea of a build! Haha

[Sulaco]

Speechless! Love watching that dirty beat up 202 get crazy!

day if I'm bored and rich, want to drop an old v8 into a 202. Maybe like an old mopar 340.

[Pagz]

Awsome work!. How close was your tail to that building haha.

[mantahead]

yea, it was close. ha ha. could have put more dents in it. :D

awesome project, don't think i've ever seen a w202 developed as a drift car. looking forward to how this turns out.

[CJP28]

Respect!

[SLAMMED_C]

That is some serious steering lock!! Awesome diesel build.

cheers guys,

[dokotela]

Awesome....so it isn't a myth then.
I read somewhere, on one of the other forums, a while back, that a Swedish guy(I think) put on a huge turbo on a 202 5 cylinder diesel and did some cylinder head work and made 400 odd hp and huge torque...and the engine behaved like its gasoline cousin.

What sort of NM does your car make? What did u do besides slap on the big turbo and intercooler?

no myth, turbo and modified pump= power.
http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc461/mantahead1/utf-8BSU1HMDA2MzUtMjAxMTExMjMtMTIwMi5qcGc.jpg

these guys in finland, sweden and norway etc have been tuning these engines for years, but they mostly don't use the w202, something to do with emissions, and the age of the car. they mostly use the older models.
they can be made rev to 7000rpm+

[dokotela]

Modified pump???

[mantahead]

Modified pump???

yea, injector pump was rebuilt by Dieselmeken in sweden, pump is old type mechanical from om602 engine. the original pump elements where 5.5mm, they where replaced with 7.5mm elements. modified governor for higher rpm.

[dokotela]

So there IS some science to this....lol
Is it serious work to the diesel pump?
Sounds like a intriguing build

[mantahead]

the idea is, lots of fuel in a small (time window) thats the idea of the 7.5mm element. so it can be burned with lower exhaust gas temps.
the pump needs a lot of setting up on the bench and a lot of design goes into those elements.

[dokotela]

Any cylinder head work?
What ecu are you running?

[mantahead]

no head work on that one, engine standard running 3.3bar boost on small exhaust housing,no wastegate.
no ecu, running old skool mechanical pump.

i will do some head work on this new project.

[dokotela]

How does your car run without an ecu tune or standalone?

[dokotela]

The things we say at 2am......lol

got turbo, holset hx52w.

[John Jones Jr.]

Couldn't get a bigger turbo? :D Watching with interest, hope all works out o.k. with the g/box. Have you considered using a 2.3/2.5-16 Getrag, good for 400bhp but don't know how much torque.

cheers,
turbo has nice small 13cm ex housing so should spool well especially with supercharger.
had thought of getrag but think this is far stronger.

[John Jones Jr.]

Maybe you are doing too much at once? Might be wiser to get the turbo mounted & operational then, mount & plum in the s/charger. Have you considered mounting the s/charger directly above the head giving easy access to the charger itself & the injection pump? I'm only throwing ideas out there as I think one of the most important aspects of your build will be good access, ease of maintenance & greater flexibility to make more modifications as I suspect having the f/pump and that side of the engine bay uncluttered would be a big bonus.

Looking forward to updates.

Rock on! :D

[mantahead]

yea, i see your point, but i always play with the ideas a while in my head before i commit myself to bolting them on, have only got the turbo. Can't decide on ex manifold size.
Was thinking of access for cams as will be playing with them too, pump access might be more important.

[John Jones Jr.]

For big turbo installations using your particular turbo, check out the Swedish club sites. Most of those boys speak very good English too.

[mantahead]

cheers,

got box done again, next build up box and fit to engine and make gearbox mounts, then when engine is in proper position i think i will start manifolds.

wait..... what ? not my cup of tea with that enormous blower sticking out the hood. I liked it much better with just the turbo diesel setup. but i guess twin charged will be nice. just not to aesthetically pleasing

I'm with you on this, not a fan of the SC sticking out of the bonnet.



But it should be interesting, is it a compound setup??

Emm, not sure about that. Is there no way it could be mounted just below the PAS pump? Still, a great project overall.

[Pagz]

Nice pully ;), your friend is good on the lathe

[SD202]

awesome project, don't think i've ever seen a w202 developed as a drift car. looking forward to how this turns out.



check out this turbo 3.6 unleaded build not diesel but still nicely done.

I only seen this because i follow the guy on instagram haha

[mantahead]

its a bit crude i know but once i get some testing done i will decide whether the blower is staying or not, blower could be made fit if i machined a new front shaft and housing but i will see what happens.
blower is going to force feed the turbo on low boost only, then the turbo will take over from 1.2 to 2.8 bar(estimated)

[mantahead]

yea that turbo 3.6 is a nice car,i helped this guy with his steering lock.

Sounds promising from the little that I'd know about your set up and possibly the wisest thing is you being flexible about the end result. How will you control the S/c boost pressure to the turbo, simple BOV?

[SD202]

yea that turbo 3.6 is a nice car,i helped this guy with his steering lock.

I noticed you both had the same steering lock fabbed up with cutting the knuckle off and adding a piece of pipe. What diameter / length of pipe did you add to the lower control arm to give it that crazy amount of lock ? did you have to change the steering linkage ? love drift builds man ! keep up the good work.

i was thinking of making a flap that simply sucks open when the turbo creates negative pressure. something like this maybe;

lower arm is about 2 inches longer, so steering linkage is longer to compensate, also pitman arm lenghtened and other stabiliser arm. also knuckle on the hub moved closer to centre, but at the correct angle to keep ackerman.

Can't wait to see when she's fired up and running again. Speed it up please. Love this thread. Might be partly due to my first car was a 240D 123 series.

Congrats Mantahead, awesome power & a great project. What happened at the track, engine blown?

[White C Komp]

Looks like his radiator cap blew off.

[Abbaso]

Bloody awesome with little or no black smoke.She's drinking all that extra fuel with the blower attached I'm guessing?? that thing sounds amazing. A job well done. If I ever get some money to play around with I will be in contact with you. My Dad has a c250 non turbo with close to 500 000km still goes like a dream with no smoke

[John Jones Jr.]

Ah, so it was steam. Wasn't sure.

[mantahead]

yea, radiator cap

i noticed a little pressure in the rad from when i fitted this engine, it came from a damaged car with a burst rad, probably overheated before i got it, pressure just got worse and worse

you can see the difference on the dyno pic, 502bhp was turbo only, 469.5bhp was turbo and supercharger with a real nice power band, other was low boost run

[John Jones Jr.]

Epic build & very impressed.

What kind of suspension setup do you have? It stays nice and flat when you throw it around.

hi,
i have complete toyota supra subframe in the rear with hks coilovers, the front wishbones are now longer so i needed 1600 pound springs with bmw x5 shocks. lol
