    Turbo CLK430 I built. Rear Mounted T70 Turbocharger.

    The US dollar is so weak right now ya'll could probably do it for cheaper than what I did it for. The total cost converted from usd to euros was around 2700€. Dyno numbers will be established in a few days.

    Turbo Mercedes E320 on a dyno/rolling-road.

    It was really struggling to make power but then again I was using 92 octane pump gas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dCFM0qa67o

    A little race with the turbo E320.

    In this vid(another mazda ironically) Benson, the mazdaspeed 6 driver, called races 2 and 4 so its a little more fair except on the power aspect :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSaLgbXDo4M

    A little race with the turbo E320.

    My buddy swore up and down the miata was still faster after the turbo but obviously the mercedes had a slight advantage now :D. I gotta admit that miata was FUN AS HELL to drive. My car is just a big rolling slab of numbness. My autoleveling suspension hides the power even from the driver lol...

    Molding in EVO II style fender flares?

    I have a EVO II body kit from raceonusa and the fender flares have to molded in to the body. They claim the kit is made of a material called "Hi-flex." I assume thats is a another term for fiberglass? Anyway I have done my share of fender flares but mosly off road trucks. I know I have to cut...

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    Doing a quick google conversion, my car before the turbo averaged 11l/100km(21mpg), now it is 9l/100km(26mpg).....Turbos improve fuel economy on stock engines, its not like im full throttling every where :D If I floor it, I can see the gas gauge move once I hit about 120mph/200kmh :D

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    I know the design isnt very efficient but I did use 2" internal diamter pipe. I can make a "spiral" style equal length header but all it would really do is smooth out my lower rpm spool up and make it spool faster. Anyway back when I built this I had never even done a header before :D Now I have...

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    The M104 pistons are noticiably dished which is very odd, considering its high compression. I think the compression is maintained by the piston rising over of the plane of the block. If I had to give a broad guess I'd say the head chambers are between 43 and 49cc's.

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    I figured my situation didnt help the stereotypes anyway :D I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere and talk like a country dude :D

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    Kickdown is another story :D If I'm rolling about 15-20mph and punch it then the car breaks traction and shakes side to side like an angry snake. It chrips the tires into the first 3 gears.

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    Its not a hookin' car as we say in America. The turbo is so big that it doesnt spool any positive boost at the start so wheel spin isnt a problem at all. My 275mm wide tires also help to control wheelspin. EDIT: The dyno sheet is on the computer down at J&M dyno tuning but I am going back to...

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    Head spacers are easier and cheaper :D. The VW guys run them and get over 700hp out of those VR6 engines. Skimming the stock pistons can be dangerious and getting new ones would be far too expensive and unneeded. I know all about the Turbo Technics, Lotec and Mosselman twin turbo kits. Except...

    A turbocharged 97 e320, stock motor.

    I built this in the summer of 08 after I graduated from high school. It is my first turbo experience and I built the whole thing from scratch. Everything from the turbo used to the engine management installed is a first for any Mercedes. I do live on a farm in America lol but we got a house...
