Well i have no idea what you would want for it all. Maby we can work out a trade + $$. My dad owns and operates and Mercedes shop so if you have any older mercedes we have alot of parts. And can get parts for your benz at wholesale prices. Just PM me if your interested. I would love to just buy everything you have.

**RemoLexi** · 03-16-2007, 04:31 PM

I dont think I need any parts the moment ... But heres what ive payed for everythnig,

Turbo - $300
Turbo came in with shaft play so I had it rebuilt- $100
the Evo header & dump pipe was somewhere around $140
23K's Flange was $45
and the fitting I have extra for you was $20.

Paypal me $525 and its all yours that includes shipping. if not then I will put this stuff up on ebay shortly.

**RemoLexi** · 03-16-2007, 04:36 PM

Hey Paul do you think Eaton M90 will be too much ? M62 seems pretty bulky, the M90 looks nice and clean and easy to fab up things to. I dont want M45 its just too small.

that was quick, wheres the drive at? nO DETERMINATION!

**Markland556** · 03-16-2007, 05:22 PM

well, i think you got yourself a deal. Gimme till tonight and i will swing by the bank and make a little deposite. Do you have any of the fittings for the oil lines left over?

neither would work very well. i've done the research before as i've already considered this, and the superchargers are a different animal from the turbos. the M62 and M90 are too large for the displacement, and you can even research the info off the eaton website.

stick with the turbo, just aim for low boost - like 11lbs.

edit: a sidenote... the M90 eats 90 horsepower from the engine being belt driven alone. this is a figure from V8s

**RemoLexi** · 03-16-2007, 05:35 PM

Markland I have my oil fittings, but Im going to be using those for the oil sensers.

maybe ill consider a differnt turbo setup.

M45 wouldnt get me much at all. Ill keep thrying a differnt setup.

**Markland556** · 03-16-2007, 06:06 PM

sorry to go back on what i said, but it doesnt look like i will be able to buy that stuff from you. Cash is comming up a little short... LOL

**RemoLexi** · 03-16-2007, 06:50 PM

no problem ... maybe thats a sign telling me to not give up. you let me know if you become intrested if you catch me in a time that I would preffer to sell this stuff then lucky you if not then good luck for the both of us! I may still sell you the flange you wanted I will let you know when it will be 100% uneeded in my application!

**Pagz** · 03-16-2007, 08:19 PM

Dude wheres the determination

Is there a local workshop that could make you a thick wall header?,you should at least get a price!...if done right it will fix your issues...use the internal wastegate to save $$ and get them to hook the down pipe to the OE while its there.

**Pagz** · 03-16-2007, 08:19 PM

DO NOT GIVE UP lol:dead:

**RemoLexi** · 03-17-2007, 07:50 AM

heres where my determination went ...

**RemoLexi** · 07-09-2007, 06:55 PM

UPDATE:

sorry forgot to post some test-fitting pictures, but heres new spec's

-TD05H turbo instead of the TD05HR
-Top-mount instead of bottom mount
-oil pan job was redone .. agian.
-Hollowed out cat.s
-Magnaflow installed
-CAI (for now)
-FMIC installed (for the past 2 months no cop trouble yet)

Turbo was test fitted and no space issues

im in no rush to finish this project as ive got more important car repairs such as the suspension, brakes and new front bumper (safety comes first)

**Green Lantern** · 07-10-2007, 09:23 PM

what u mean by no cop trouble from ur fmic?

**pisit** · 07-11-2007, 12:42 AM

Looking Great!
good to see another 202 turbocharged, and lucky you left-handed car! no space issue like Paul and me :tired:
how much boost will you run?

**RemoLexi** · 07-11-2007, 08:39 AM

no more then 1 bar for me, im intrernally stock here!

I just want to have the car a little bit quicker thats all.

normally when you see a nice aftermarket fmic the cops know cars' been modified which is ILLEGAL in CA. so far, no trouble for me.

paint it black-sleeper status

**c280nz** · 07-11-2007, 09:47 PM

1 bars pritty serious for stock n/a internals, what computer you planning on running? or u gona run water or methanol injection or something to get those temps down?

**pisit** · 07-12-2007, 11:42 PM

1 bar! i'm thinking of running .8bar for high boost and .6bar for a city run only. what is the compression rate of a C230? since mine is a C220 and i noticed that CR is about 9.6:1 and checking to see if a gasket from a C230K is compatible with the C220 motor or not.
anywayz, looking forward to see the progress on ur turbo project.

**RemoLexi** · 07-13-2007, 09:25 AM

8.8-1, up to 1 bar is a bit risky but ill give it a try before I end up ripping internals out and finding some custom pistons.

Im running a small turbo so I cant expect much from that but it leans me to the safer side I guess.

**alphanumeric** · 07-29-2007, 08:56 AM

wow this car has come a long way! I remember it doing burnouts in a garage... now its having a turbo installed..

**RemoLexi** · 07-29-2007, 11:52 AM

theres some stuff I havnt posted. I have a source to a place who will make a custom header for the turbo, id have to leave my car there so he can make sure theres no issues with clearence.

next ive really been focusing on my suspension, next is the brakes. after that I have to get a new front bumper- it looks very bad with this broken one.

ive been searching and searching gathering information to be safe with this, im still unclear about how rich/lean the car may be - say I go with the 24lb injecters - they will only spray the amount of fuel the ECU tells them by reading the air flow meter, so, if I get a bigger MAF pipe - more air will get by, but it wont be giving my car enough fuel - running lean. if I get a smaller pipe then stock - it will get less air going by .. running rich ?

also the location of the MAF itself - either its before the turbos' cold side or after the intercooler before the TB.

**c280nz** · 07-30-2007, 10:43 PM

um i dont know if youd want to be running 1 bar on standard computer. i wouldnt want to run much above like 2psi on a standard computer, even with bigger injectors.... they dont sence boost, you need to get a piggyback with a map sensor because you car needs more fuel under boost, and a normal air flow meter wont read this.

and the best place for the air flow meter is on the cold side of the turbo so it measures the air going into the turbo at atmospheric preasure.

and are you sure your car only has 8.8-1 compression ratio? thats really low, you should do some more research to confirm this.

peace
