`94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 03-04-2013

Hello. I´ve been around on the forum for a while now, mostly reading. So now i think it`s time for me to start my own project thread.

The car is a `94 E300 D Sportline. Originally a 606NA car. ASD diff, mushroom interior, tempomat, AC etc. A well equipped car in my opinion.
Bought the Merc for about a month ago and i`m very pleased with it. Firm steering and suspension for the age as well as minimum rusted body. I have tried many cars prom the early 90`s and I think the BMW E34 and Merc W124 is the best cars from that time.

I planned to put in a 606 and get about 250whp out of it, but much wants more... So Dieselmeken made me a 7,5mm 140cc pump. This pump should be good for at least 350-400whp i think.
But with my limited budget i had to go for a HY35 from a `02 Cummins that i had. Any opinion how much HP/NM i will get with this?
Think i will upgrade to a GT42 at the end of the summer..
Because i want to keep both AC and the tempomat i vent for a water to air IC solution. Found a Bosch 044 in my basement that will be used to feed the IP. Turbosmart pressure regulator and a Aeromotive filter.
I will use 10mm(overkill) stainless pipes from the tank to the 044 and from the 3bar fuel regulator after the IP for return lines. Any suggestions on bypassing the original lift pump? Just let it be there or take it of and make a plate over the hole?
JAAS Performance jigged up the turbo on a flange and are welding my exhaust manifold as we speak. They will also make the downpipe and mod my orginal 606NA plenum.
3" stainless straightpipe from turbo and back.
I will be using the old 722.3 trans for a couple of weeks until i get hold on a 722.626. It will be a pain in the ass not to be able to use the 606 properly that time tough Angry

Suggestions? Big Grin

Greetings from Norway!!!

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 03-04-2013

Hehe, never too sure Wink

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - TheDon - 03-04-2013

Nice car! I should get the updated body panels for my '87. Keep us posted on the build!

I'll be folowing this prodject Wink

keep up the good work Wink

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 03-05-2013

Tanks! Fun to see that others in Norway are messing with the same engines. Makes it easy to share solutions etc. without speaking english. I`m not so good at that Wink

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 03-06-2013

hehe, yes, you know, I'm not too good at it myself, so It is better to talk norwegian :p

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - lgreeley83 - 03-06-2013

wish I could speak norwegian.

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 03-06-2013

Exhaust manifold finished today! Will post pics tomorrow.
Also got my hands on a nice GT42. Nice turbo to have when i want more power Smile

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - TheDon - 03-06-2013

se på meg! Jeg kan snakke norsk!

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 03-07-2013

jasså TheDon, kan du snakke norsk eller æd et bære google translate??
da skarru få ett problem mæ å over setta detta :p hahah xDD

just gave TheDon a challenge :p

I look forward to see you'r Manifold, Mine is just å pile of tubes and looks terrible :p
but the throttle respons is a MASSIVE differense :p
good work Wink

keep it up Wink

a GT42, that take a while too spool whitout some more help dosent it?? :p

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 03-07-2013

Yes the GT42 will be too big for the 606 as it sits, and too small for my S38. But it was only a turbo i traded in a TD04L-14T.

Lets not make this a language thread Wink

There

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - willbhere4u - 03-11-2013

Looking good! I defiantly think wrapping headers is the way to go. I did this on a custom header set up on a Subaru WRX and noticed the turbo would spool a couple hundred rpm earlier because of the extra heat energy!

Of course a WRX header is like a mile long with the uppipe!

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Stamsaas - 03-11-2013

Looking good! Big Grin

Let the fun begin! Big Grin

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 03-12-2013

nice Wink

good work

what size are you going to use for exhaust pipe??

A tip, get it done, and come to Brumunddal, the 7th may, and go streat legal in a 201m challenge In Brumunddal city Wink

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 03-12-2013

Exhaust is 3" straight pipe. Saved the money for the muffler, hehe.

That would have been fun! But i don`t think i will not get my new tranny ready until then...
Other diesels or mostly 50hp/liter amcars? Big Grin

Maybe i`ll drive dovn there to look at it!

Here is the IC kit btw:

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Simpler=Better - 03-12-2013

I'm glad to see the headers wrapped. On my NA truck and NA bike they both saw a power gain with wrapping, plug it was cooler under the hood

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 03-12-2013

It Will be at least 3 diesel merch, and some turbo/superchared am cars Wink

Yes, take the trip, it Will be awesome Wink

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 03-27-2013

Aaahh.. Fu**in` norwegian customs holds on to my water to air IC kit and the workshop where i was going to do the swap was full until the weekend after easter! I want to put the engine in now, since its ready!!

But i have tried the AMG`s on to see how they fits. God damn i need to slam that car Big Grin

Ordered H&R 50mm springs and Bilstein B8 all around.
Last time i changed springs on a W124 was 6 years ago, and i tend to remember it as being a hard job with ordinary spring compressors. Is there a special spring compressor that should be used?

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 04-02-2013

yes, it's a hell of a work xD
and yes, there is "spesial" spring kompressors, we got it here, where i work, it is a bowl that you put into the top and bottom of the spring to a "screw" in the middle of the tongue you squeeze it with, but still I had to remove the upper ball carrier and bumper to get out my springs on my W123

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-02-2013

Bah!! Thats what i thought.. But we got a Mersu "guru" here where i live. I think he got that compressor, so i can borrow it.

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 04-03-2013

I think you can borrow or rent it att a Bertil O.Steen dealer, Thats what I did the first time :p

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-03-2013

Ok, thanks Smile

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-18-2013

How do i upload pics here? My photobucket don`t work anymore :S

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - willbhere4u - 04-18-2013

Click on the NEW REPLY button. Not the quick reply or the post reply buttons! And then you can add attachments at the bottom. Click browse to find the file then press the add attachments button to the RH side

You can get to the same screen with the full edit option to edit previous posts and add pictures

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - raysorenson - 04-22-2013

PB adds some script to it's links that some boards don't like. I manually type in the [img][/img] stuff and paste the direct link in between.

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-22-2013

Nah.. the screen becomes white when i enter the PB site. No popup blockers or so are on.
Is there any other sites like photobucket?

Got many pics to upload now. 606.962 is mounted with headers and turbo. Got my watercooled intercooler kit and changed the pedals to manual setup.
Bought a 716.654 from 220cdi++

Does anyone know if shortening the bellhousing to fit singlemass FW is a good solution or is it better to just weld a doublemass?

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - willbhere4u - 04-22-2013

You can directly upload the car pictures on here

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-22-2013

A message comes up where it stands that my pics are too big for uploading here

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 04-23-2013

shorten the bellhousing, that's the best, then you dont get ass much weight, you loose a few NM
but you got loads of it anyways so :p

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - willbhere4u - 04-23-2013

oh yea! I forgot it did that

I got a free photo resizer to reduce the image size

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-23-2013

Needs lowering!

Last pics with 606.910

But thank you! Smile

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-24-2013

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-26-2013

JeeeeeY! My 716.654 arrived today.
Tomorrow`s up for some oilcooler, pedals, gauges and radiator for the watercooled IC.

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 04-29-2013

I got drunk, so i`ve only mounted the oilcooler and radiator this weekend. Shit happens Wink

But here is some pics:

Here is the lower mount for the radiator. Made so that the mountings for the orginal fan-cover is still there for later use.

Upper mount.

Oilcooler

Sleeper style! Nothing to see on the outside.

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 05-05-2013

Mounted diesel pipes and manual pedals this weekend. Hopefully startup this week!

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 05-08-2013

that will be nice ;p
good luck Wink

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project. Need help!! - HaavardPYA - 05-09-2013

Tried to start it today but with no luck.. The starter cranked the engine real slow. Tried with many different batteries, so its not that. It fired at a couple of cylinders at the same time per round when i cranked it, but no way it was fast enough to start. I have breathed the dieselsystem so there is no air in it.
Is it possible to hook the timing chain one tooth wrong without destroying the valves?
Any suggestions what could be wrong? Really need your help now Smile

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 05-09-2013

Could it be the wrong starter? From a 601 or so maybe?

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Stamsaas - 05-09-2013

Did you have good ground? When I Fired mine i had to use both clamps on the starterwire (startkabler :p ) on the ground, because one one was not good enough Smile

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 05-10-2013

Aha! Could try to put an extra ground cable to the engine!

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - Ksteen2 - 05-10-2013

or just that the starter i fried :p

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - maxypriest - 05-10-2013

(05-10-2013, 12:05 AM)HaavardPYA Aha! Could try to put an extra ground cable to the engine!

Any news? I'm rather excited about this project!

RE: `94 E300 STD rolling project - HaavardPYA - 05-10-2013

Will try it tomorrow when i come home from work! Smile
