Hi all , I drive a turbo benz , a 1990 190e 2.6 that me and my friend turbocharged ourselves. You can find the full spec and many more pictures and videos on Instagram under @thatblue_190e , but I’ll give a full overview here
Exterior :
Colour code , Deep blue 900
Front bumper , BMW E36 M3 / AC shnitzer lip
Cosworth Front fender flares
Evo 2 Rear fender flares
Rocketbunny Ducktail spoiler
Debadged front grille ( but I will be adding the front flat badge back on )
Kamei Sideskirts
Centred wiper ( still don’t know how I feel about it so subject to change )
Still got the stock rear bumper as I cannot find a cosworth one which is all that’s left to wrap up the exterior side of things
Interior :
D&W steering wheel
Bluetooth Pioneer system ( 2 speakers up front , 2 on parcel shelf along with an Amplifier and sub in the boot , sorry I don’t have the specs on hand )
Mercedes Benz illuminated door sills all around
Zender gear knob
Carbon fibre door cards
Wheels and Suspension :
Staggered 17” Carlsson Evo 3 piece
Front : 8j , 215/40/17
Rear : 10j , 275/40/17
Koni adjustable shocks all around
300e springs all around ( cut - still handles surprisingly well lol )
Front Upper strut brace
Front lower subframe brace
Rear lower subframe brace
Steel Adjustable arms + polybush full rear end
19mm rear anti roll bar
Fully tracked by suspensionsecrets
Engine and drivetrain :
2.6L m103
Stock bottom end
Rebuilt head with 12.9 head bolts ( fresh valves , valve guides , stem seals , stock springs with shims under the spring to raise rev limit to 8000rpm )
Stock headgasket ( fresh of course )
Single turbo conversion
Garrett gt30/35 hybrid ( rated Upto 900hp )
TEmotorsport intake manifold
3” turbo-back exhaust , 1 muffler and Remus backbox
Full EFI conversion , ECUmaster Black
Most power made on dyno - 320whp (~389bhp) NOTE this was on its old budget setup , with this current setup listed I am aiming for 500 at the wheels at least
6spd gearbox from 220cdi w202 I believe or w203
6spd short shifter from Kangaroosteam
260mm organic clutch kit
3.07 185mm diff
I’ve definitely missed a lot but that’s a good overview of it , this is my first car but we have many more 500e’s , w126’s and w124’s/201’s . Those of you who know Talbir ( who’s my dad ) will know the extent of our collection , however I wanted to take a different approach to these cars and I believe I have succeeded so far but still have a long way to go with much more potential to be unlocked , I hope you enjoyed the write up and the pictures and anything you guys would like to know just ask away and I’ll answer
