hi guys

i dont know there to put this, im a mercedes noob,

so...
im installing a turbo on a costumers car,

on the manu:
building a turbo manifold +turbo installation
converting from mechanical injection to a haltech engine managment system



here are some pictures of the process:

looking pretty good, i like seeing different cars. you learn a lot that way

 

Pretty cool project, how many miles on that Benz?

 

interesting choice of parts... a cherokee throttle body?

 

I take it this is still not finished? Seems to be going nowhere, just kinda confused about it. Welds look pretty good though.

 

Joke right? If not,

 

yup, it has a internal 4 wire iacv that can be controled by the haltech ecu, it will save time fitting a external iacv, plus. the old throttle didnt had tps.

the manifold installed on the engine for choosing the turbo placment,


i will update with more pictures tommorow.

 

cant wait for finished pics

 

sweet always good to give my eyes a brake from the typical builds. what size turbo is going on this?

 

 

lol, this is dope. in for more, keep up the good work.

 

turbo is a t3 t04 60 trim


more pics:
turbo installed:

making charge pipes and downpipe:



cooler fitted:



fuel rail work:

 

looking good. any pics of the turbo mani finished before u fitted the turbo on it? and are you really going to use that baby intercooler? how much hp were you planning on making with this setup? everything's lookin awesome so far. diggin the custom fuel rail ur making.

 

Nice build! Turbo seems a little small, but maybe that is what the customer wanted?

 

some progress:
charge pipes and exhaust are ready:




begining to make to ecu harness:


need to make a throttle cable:

 

Cool project man. What haltec are you using? Can you tell us what the labor bill is expected to be?

 

hi,
the haltech is gonna be a e6s-8.

labor is around $4000.

 

any updates? i've been following this thread, i think it's awesome

 

cool as hell!

 

this is pretty interesting. any estimates on expected power?

 

the engine is around 180hp when NA,
i belive it will make about 250+ now,

last things i need to do:
fit mufflers
close the harness
and tune it


here are some updates from today:
here is the old fuel pump/filter/regulator?? assambly that was removed.... and was replaced with a inline walbro 255lph. (dont have pics of the new one installed)


fitting the new throttle cable:


ecu wiring harness:


ouch:
filter relocated in engine bay:

 

Very nice work man!

 

Why didnt you keep the stock CIS pump? Its more than capable of supporting that hp goal.

 

that looks like alot of work but it should be nice once its done.
