Would it fit though?

 

[Alps]

will fit into most V8 engined cars not the c180 as the engine bay is a different shape

 

[ADY1983]

I will make it fit and go, if someone wants to fund the project???

Heh, that would punt my clk along nicely!

 

[Shude]

A good donor car would be a CLK430 or E430 IMHO

Anyway for less than that, TDI powertuning do a full turbo set up including intercooler and dump valve using the mosselman turbo similar to Koolvin's car.

Thats if you want to do that to your C180 W202. :bannana:

I'd rather shoehorn this in.

Now thats not a merc is it

You're not playing in our gang any more

No but £17k seems cheap, and its only a cat D so needs no inspection...

 

[illidan]

yep, I've dropped the guy there a line and he said if I needed a dump valve to be fitted he could do it along with the MF2 water injection, obviously the more thats done, the more it'll cost.....

Why spend 3 grand on a '94 C180? Just sell it and buy one with a bigger engine.
The Ferrari was 9 grand when I posted so looked well cheap. Would still break for more than 17 grand surely? I recon those seats would look fantastic in my coupe. I'm sure Ian Walker could get that V12 in somehow.

Well the same reasons some of us on these forums mod our cars:
1. To see what we can do
2. Because we can

Some people take the easy way out and buy a vehicle with everything done, Steve from MBenzNL has done some amazing mods on his car.
