Your probably one of the funniest fourm people ever.


The wheels are cheap ebay replicas of a mercedes wheel. I cant remember what the mercedes wheel was called but i picked these up before they got popular for 250 dollars, now these replicas run 500-600. They are a 8/9 staggered setup.

I congratulate you on finishing this project. Your fabrication skills seem to be pretty good.

However, seeing a 210 that sounds like that just make me want to vomit. To me, you've essentially ruined what a Mercedes is about to me.

However, if you like it, enjoy it.

O- your pontification is based on large gaps in reading and comprehension. this is still a work in progress and far from finish.

Raymond, his post does not indicate that his exhaust is not finished. I don't keep tabs on everyone's projects and from this thread, there is no indication of whats done and what isn't.

If he plans on finishing or altering the exhaust to bring it back to a quiet sedan level, then I'll retract my statements. Otherwise, my statement stands.

One of

his posts says no back pressure and no IC plumbing as yet.So I figured that is why it sounds like an old John Deer.(no back pressure,no muffler)
Turbo with 1.5 in exhaust tubing and a small

Exhaust is done now. Im using a modified(really modified ) stock ehaust and it sounds exactly the same as it used to. Super super quiet. OliverK, youre right, it sounded completely horrible. I think the car was trying to vomit . Its all good in the hood now.

Ill take better pics in the morning.

You can sort of see the emblem from the 944 turbo on the valve cover my dad has had in his tool box for like ten years haha.

Very nice Max. I'm sure you may have mentioned it but what are your hp/tq goals?

First goal is to tune it to modern E500 specs, then the non supercharged 55 series, and finally 450 hp with torque close behind or in front . After that i want to get a V6 engine(theres a running one around here $800 for everything) and work on twin turboing that, using my own car as a fitment template.

Nice, keep us updated. Eventually when my engine dies I want to do a twin turbo setup on my car, and this is inspirational. Unfortunately she's got 197000 and still going strong, so I'll probably be waiting awhile.
