well there you go i hope you like them! more pics to come stay tuned...

Nice engine bay...

Although what I don't understand is the engine block doesn't looks like the 6 cylinder engine block let alone... C36..!!!!
Did you replaced the valvecover piece..? I am curious, because it not just the color but the shape is

the fan shroud also looks like from the 4 cylinder car, plus 6 cylinder block is longer than that.

So what are you trying to say ..?

my apology...

for some reason I have alway thought your car is a real C36..

I always thought you have a 95 C36... perhaps I am mistaken with you with someone else.. :)

Nevertheless, like I said before nice engine bay..and ..clean..

Jason bought the kit from some kid called Andy. Jason didnt make it. Andy sold it to Jason. I almost bought it from Andy back in the day but he wanted too much for it. I think he wanted like $5k so I just bought a brand new Mosselman kit instead (he eventually lowered price significantly by the time Jason bought it; too bad because I would have bought it from him earlier if he would have budged on the price). Plus Andy was kind of a prick when I tried the negotiate price. But yea, some kid called Andy had it first. He had a nice car that was in magazines (like a four page write-up) but your car is much nicer! Andy's car had kind of a Japanese flavor (carbon fiber hood, Racing Hart wheels, etc.), your car is all Euro'd out which is much nicer and appropriate considering Mercedes is made in Germany and not Japan.

hey whats up slammed c, to tell you the truth i like the turbo chargers more than superchargers one reason, bacause its much more easy to get more power out of a turbo than a supercharger. a turbo you just crank up the boost control and your set to go. the turbo that we used in my car is a hks polished 2535 ballbearing turbo. hope this helps you out.

I believe Mosselman makes a turbo kit for the SLK230K that works together with the supercharger, in essence twin-charging the car. I am trying to find the pic I have seen but cant rememebr where I saw it. So far, this is the only proof I have, open this link and scroll down to where the shop (in Spain) says they have Mosselman applications for the SLK230K. I presume the SLK230K and C230K share the same engine so that everything should mount up. That would really make you stand out - a turbo and supercharger! Power in high and low end!

all turbos require an updated exhaust. that certainly has my attention though!

spanish to english translation of the site:

Here they follow compressing lists of Mosselman for Mercedes, whose energia obtenian it through exhaust gases (turbocompressor). These kits do not need changes within the motor and they are possible to be disassembled in a day (for example by change of vehicle).

All kits comes with ' intercooler', tubes of air painted to the dust, connections in this system with silicone sleeves, tubes of lubrication of I disturb are of Aeroquip. The turbos are of Garrett T26. The exhaust manifold is of smelting with 35% nickel. No doubt the best one of everything! See the examples at the end of this page to obtain an idea on gains verified on power bank. Pair maximo raises about a 40-45% in all ranges of normal operation. Several clients have done more than 350 thousand km in their cars equipped with these kits. A good indicator of its reliability.

List of equipment I disturb available for Mercedes. If it does not see its car in this then table it sees the second table for driven equipment of the centrÃƒÂ*fugal compressor by means of a pulley and draws out.

Summary:
-Bolt on installation (no internal modifications necessary)
-Garett T26 turbo
-Intercooler
-Silicon piping for maximum efficiency
-Reported over 350,000km reliablilty and still going strong

as long as you realise that the collector, waste gate and turbo need to bolt up together.. and need to fit in the engine bay, what the guy sais about buying a old block to get your measurements perfect is where im worried..

my best plan so far is I'm going to measure the block with a tape measure and find some suitable object(s) to emulate the engine bay :).
finding a old block isnt financially productive here..

Ive yet to look into a turbo / wastegate combination to use ..

can you buy standardized collectors anyone?

also the FMU side of the whole afair has me feeling like it might be complicated, I duno if you got .50 cents 23k.. but It would be apreciated.

I saw a "power boost valve" for a C180 I gues we need something like that for tuneabilty for 1 and higher Fuel Presure all together is needed as I understand it..

I cant see that running at boost levels any higher then 10psi would be good for bussiness.. our car are only running on 6psi of boost!.

Ifirc the kleeman pully upgrades give you a peek of 11 psi .. still allot higher then stock.. and the ASP racing 8-9 or something...

and you dont see them installing forged pistons as part of their kits..

the tranny is going to be under presure for sure.. but some guy that built a 510hp turbo 202 shreaded his diff first.. Ill hunt down that url for you its another great site, and about turboing experinces with OUR car...which sliped my mind.

Hey...missed this!,
From what iv read and seen matching a compressor/turbine to a engine is just alittle more involved than the one size fits all under 2.5L lol
there are sooooooo many parts of the system that effect the final outcome including your perspective of a "perfect setup"...
other factors like Intake restriction,distance above sea level,ambiant air temp,BSFC,volumetric eff@various rpm,IC eff,Max RPM and desired HP all effect the turbine choice...

Garretts site is a great start!...they have formulars to calculate requirements at given RPM etc...which you can then plot on there compressor maps to get a grey idea of the compressors efficiency for your application...once you have established the compressor requirments you can take a shot in the dark for the exhaust turbine housing A/R...this is a fine tuning area...theres usually a choice of 2 maybe 3 sizes...if the car is to be used as a street machine and will not be seeing massive gains keep the A/R smaller for better responce...larger will give you alittle more top end at a cost of low end response.

also stick with the internal wastgate setup...its more compact,less expensive and with the special flanges made these days,they flow very well!

what engine do you have?

By the way...PLEASE do not follow the quality of that ghetto stuff(mostly) on homemadeturbo.com your 202 deserves better LOL

I think that manifold is for an s2000. It looks like it is supposed to dump to the rear, not under the tranny, so it would seem to be for a rwd car. Can't remember if the s2k dumps left or right though so I'm not sure.

Jstrat -

just like a few others im in the gambling game, now my problem ISNT bolting everything up - ive got the header turbo intercooler and all that figured out and on the way as we speak.

my concerns are,

-What Fuel upgrades should I go for, I understand that just Fuel injecters wont cut it - what else would I need ?

-What ECU upgrade do you have?

and another thing, will there be serious engine damages if I ran the turbo temporarly without the ECU&fuel upgrades ? too lean maybe ?

Markland556

02-10-2007, 02:29 PM

Hey jstrat do you have any pics of your header? I have seen many people with longer pipes to the turbo from the block. But the mosslemen one uses the small super short cast ones i belive. Im just trying to find out what would be the best/ cheapest to make.

Pagz

02-10-2007, 03:13 PM

Unless you can get one from mosselmann,cast will be more expensive than custom.

If you have a left hand drive,a custom mild steal bottom mount header can be extremely tight and cheap.

Hks intercooler custom made 3 inch exhaust with 1 high flow cat, supersprint cat back. We are cheating the ECU with a larger intake that sucks more air to accommodate the larger injectors.

Jstrat when you say "Larger Intake" what do you mean ? because i see you have a stock manifold did you mean the intake piping from the intercooler ??

Remolexi,
I think what he means by "bigger intake",is that the MAF sensor housing is bigger than the OE item,therefore there is more air flowing than what the sensor is actually reading,this would allow the sensor to stay within its operating window...correct me if im wrong.

Do you still need that bung?(just remembered)

2.5 you are correct. i had it 3inch but it was no good. no ignition upgrades and im running 8.5 pounds of boost.

Wow Have a 3" MAF sitting at home I can use that, I did try using it once with just a COLD AIR INTAKE but it was no good car ran like crap, so I downsized it to 2.5"

Im assuming the 3" will work fine with boost ??

8.5PSI is what I was looking for, I was aiming for more boost then the Eaton M45 found on Komp's but no more then 10-12PSI on stock internals - Ill even consider upgrading the internals if I can pay up.

Yea 23K Im going to need that Bung, Ill talk to a few people to see what info I can get on a custom fuel rail ... but im sticking to OEM one for now, 95660 is my zip find out the price and PM it to me along with your paypal email! :)
