YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS finally. Completely agree about digging on the forums and seeing youtube vids with people only showing parts of it or not being full transparent about their parts or how they did it. Thanks again. watching part 2 now.
@@AutoAfflicted planning to boost my m104 with a vortech v1 supercharger .and eagerly looking for every bet of information before i start as it is my daily.
Because of your good heart sharing this how to will create a lot of classic Mercedes turbo cars on the streets!!! Kudos to your great work! And I love your end message about loving people around you. May God continue to bless you!
I have a w124 2.3 and i have a low budget , and u show me how can i a dream come true, thanks u so much. Im spanish so im sobre if u cant understand me good, have a good Day.
I can say I love the results, totally new beast now with 260whp … probably more as it could only get 7psi on the dyno… but I see 8-9psi all day on the street
I’ve had no issues. I used an NPT fitting and didn’t tap any threads into the pan I use the fitting to make its own threads and also use some sealer. I’m pretty confident that I won’t have any issues. Call me lazy but I didn’t want to drop the pan as it seemed like a major project. You should check this link as this guy found a great way to remove the oil level sensor and get access to the inside of the pan for putting a nut on the fitting ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-upbokYYdDKc.html
Compression nut fitting is definitely the best way outside of welding a bung.. I did find a few examples of people doing it my way. I’m confident in it holding
This is a great series and it’s something I can’t wait to do myself! I’m just curious if you plan on posting a video of how you wired the gauges as this is my biggest concern with the project.
So your not modifying the ignition system or adding a split second controller. You just adjusted and are using the stock cis ?! This gives me ideas as I do not want more computers and wiring to boost a cis mercedes engine. I have a 300sel with a m104.981 swapped with a 5 speed manual and it’s fun as is, my 560sel though would like 6 psi of boost!
9:19 So my co worker built a turbo 190E or so and he eventually pushed so much boost that the boot there that connects onto the intake of the kjet/bottom part of the intake manifold without the kjet pops off. The next step would’ve been to weld on a flange or something for the boot and clap to grip on to but I don’t think he has done that yet. There was also apparently enough blowby that it shot out the little wimpy Mercedes dipstick lol
Oh wow - I’ve heard of this issue with the kjet. Being that I’m sticking to 8-10 psi, I’m figuring I won’t have that issue🙏🏼 - part 3: turbo install and startup drops tomorrow
@@AutoAfflicted Oh awesome I’ll definitely watch that! I bought my first car probably 10 months ago, a ‘08 smart fourtwo pure, which serves me well on my commute, and I think I’m about to buy like a ‘93 gold on tan 190E with one of those sohc m103 engines for a good price because it needs an ignition tumbler, reverse clutches, a passenger mirror, and probably some more, but the interior looks really nice. I’m pretty excited considering I’ve replaced head gaskets, sealed timing covers, and that kind of stuff on those motors on at least 6 or 8 of those cars, and now I’ll actually get to own and drive one.
@@AutoAfflicted oh you talked about CIS sorry, then you are right.. don't deal with this CIS, just put Speeduino and EFI Bosch injectors I'm currently doing that on my 300E
Love seeing other Mercedes focused channels and cool content like you're making, I have some unique builds on my channel as well if you're interested (Manual swapped C55, E420 etc). Nothing wrong with a turbo M103! You're very right about the type of videos you normally see on turbo'd versions of these, typically there is not much of a road map in video form so good to you doing that here. The Kangaroos Team is absolutely awesome, I have worked with them on a few projects and can't say enough good things about them. Look forward to checking out more of your vids and learning more about this car, sub'd! Cheers!
Cool builds! I sub-ed. I’m very interested in a manual swap… seems like quite an investment but worth while ! Right now Utah is buried in snow but looking forward to capturing some sights and sounds once the sun shows
@@AutoAfflicted definitely changes the dynamics quite a bit and much more cost effective than people usually expect. Can’t wait to see it ripping some more, watched the Dyno build, love the overall style of the build and sounds wicked!
🙏🏼 I definitely not about throwing money at it 🤣 headlights from a salvage yard, not expensive even at retail www.slickcar.com/details/63896-projector-headlights.asp
Yes the fuel system is stock - I did increase fuel pressure by adjusting the EHA valve 1/4 turn and then adjusted the fuel mixture using the idle adjustment on the CIS system.. I’m also reduced my spark plug gap specific to turbo application - I believe I talked about this in the dyno test video
@@AutoAfflicted I was wondering about the catalytic converter , since you rebuilt the complete exhaust system from manifold all the way down to the tail ?
Absolutely you can do this with an M102. This kit is designed for four and six cylinder engines up to 3 L. And you can follow basically the same build process that I’ve done with my M103.
Thanks for all your help. I’ve finally installed my kit and went for a first run… I heard some knock and think I leaned out. What AFR ratios should I be aiming for at idle and at WOT? Thanks
Congrats ! at wide open on the afr you want to read 11 and 14.7 at idle it’s common to lean out when letting off the throttle. Did you reduce your spark plug gap to .028 and increased fuel pressure via the EHA valve 1/4 turn?
@@AutoAfflicted Thanks. Will do. Just to double check.. if Iwant to make 7lb of boost MAX. Do I run a 7lb wastegate spring? I'm reading conflicting answers on the internet.
A 7lbs spring will keep the waist gate pretty Much closed until you hit 7psi of boost..however you can run the boost controller inline with the waist gate boost reference to trick the spring to produce less boost or more boost depending on whether the controller is plumbed to the top or bottom of the waist gate … this is best video I’ve found to explain ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hYIL_XvlYTE.html
You can follow this same process for any 4 or 6 cylinder engine. This kit will work for both. Manifolds can be found at www.thekangaroosteam.com/shop-1/turbo-manifolds
We can absolutely do that! I just opened a shop and I would love to get your Gwagon turbo charged. Send me an email at autoafflicted@gmail.com. We can discuss logistics
I've got a 300ce 24v black with black interior. Looking to add a pre merger amg body kit. I would really like to add a wide body kit like the hammer do you know anyone thats sells the widebody kit. I know I can use the 500e front fenders but its the quarter panels I cant find. Can you help.
It could be a daily as long as you do the right things. Currently I’m needing to replace the head gasket because they are known to be bad even in the naturally aspirated form. Mine finally let go so now I’m getting ready to install a multi layered steel one and some better head studs. If you have the time and the funds, it’s definitely worth doing this in the beginning, but I have more of a drive it till it breaks and then fix it better philosophy.
Not at 8 psi . Kangaroos team, who I got the manifold from says that at eight psi the stock fuel management handles it no problem. No modifications are required to the throttlebody
@@AutoAfflicted 👍 my friend, Your tutorials are fantastic, It opens up a whole world of, I want one but is it a nightmare to fit! Already ordered mine 👌🇬🇧👌
Hi and congrats again on slick install. Accounting for all costs (those included on your parts list plus those not included) how much do you approximate? I am asking because I want to try it myself on my 89 300E. Thank you.
The turbo and manifold total $1200 USD including the shipping, the oil feed adapter was $60 ish, 2 silicone hose for Turbo to intercooler pipe and then pipe to throttle body were $40 each. 3 Gauges were $100 each but you could find better pricing depending on what you purchase. Add another $150 for random bolts, oil, filter, etc. .. the exhaust is a whole other deal as the pipes, muffler, tips, v band etc were $600 and my friend hooked up the labor … also I basically bought all new black silicone hoses for intercooler to achieve my desired aesthetic at $35 per hose .. the turbo kit came with red hose .. the black hose kit had silver pipe .. so I could have just dealt with what was provided… so I’m in roughly $2500 ish
Stock ecu 💯 - this is how they would do it in the 80s, you could order a similar setup from the dealer - runs awesome! 260 WHP and 280 torque @ 7psi, I’m running 9 psi
You are awesome. Digging through the forums on this topic is such a pain. I have 2 m103 equipped w124s and one will definitely be getting this treatment. Do you have an Instagram?
I spent most of last summer researching.. that was the motivation for this series really, compile rhe knowledge for my Benz people. The coupe has its own insta Bruno_saccoupe and the channel insta is linked in the description of most videos including this one 🙏🏼
