i'm rebuilding 300ce -88.

Almost all of the bodywork is done, some little rust fixing still to do and paint job.

Motor is going to be original om606 turbo with little changes.

Cool project!! But why go with a such a big turbo, takes ages to get it to spool....?? Or are you building a 700hp engine?

to get high hp . We will see how it spools, exhaust housing is not that huge in this turbo, as usual in these sizes, so hopefully it works good . of course it depends how my exhaust manifold etc. works

yes it is 16. inspection is not a problem, i just need to have dyno evidence that it doesn't have more than 180hp so i it will pass the inspection with 300e original brakes etc.

new intake manifold worked good, so good that we found the limits of original rods Big Grin

all rods are bend more or less, and 3rd let go for good, in 4th gear, full gas about 180-200km/h, quite a big bang Big Grin

, still drove it to the garage with 5 cylinders.

still thinking what to do, maybe smaller turbo and make it more ''daily driver'' but that would be little boring?? Big Grin

second option is , stronger rods, good main bearing ''girdle'' in bottom end, maybe update cylinder head more, and enjoy some serious power Big Grin

but this option in going to be €€€€€€ so we will see..

Only about 2,5bar. I believe the rods bended at earlier tests when boost pressure got up to about 3,5bar (and 7000rpm) After 300km of test with those settings cold starts started to sound bad. When the engine warmed up to normal it did run good and no problems. Then few hundred km more this happened

if the rod got bented, and cylinder block smashed in half, that means it was some SERIOUS POWER over there.i'm curious to know if the 3,5bar boost caused that... Confused

I dont think boost alone will make that happen. But HX55's airflow in 3,5bars + 7000rpm + alot of fuel all together can make little too much stress for original rods. Or maybe the earlier head gasket failure had something to do with this but i dont think so, gasket leaked only ''outside'' , when boost pressure raised up, gasket leaked it to cooling system and overpressured it so that radiator cap opened and coolant got out. Atleast i didnt find any signs of coolant in the cylinders when i pulled the head off...

It's usually revs that overstresses reciprocating parts.

Looks like the conrod let go of the gudgeon pin while trying to decelerate the piston towards TDC..
