View Full Version : merc 500bhp drift project
hi guys,
i have spent some time messing with the c250td and after getting to 385bhp decided instead of spending any more time and money it was time for a new build with the 6 cylinder e300 engine in another better shell.
the old one was rough and went like this..

im liking this. cant wait to see it go.

ya got some good lock

hi,
the first engine was standard and reving to 7000rpm, engines are very strong, although this time i will balance bottom end and do some head work, cams and stronger valve springs etc.
power is made from big element pump and big turbo.
here is drag racing video of that old car, beat this turbo astra.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wyNYdXWnK0s
wud ya sell your old car the 250
engine, clutch, pump and turbo are all sold from it buddy.
Awesome!! I love stuff like this!!
FUCKENSAVAGE love the cloud behind it no smoke no poke
so the new car will be petrol?
I do love seeing different cars get built, I saw a c class merc in finnish drift series with a big v8, was cool, but he kept breaking drive shafts.
Love the diesel drifters how they make more exhaust smoke then tire smoke half the time.
cheers guys,
no, the new engine is 6 cylinder from e300 turbo diesel, which will be twin charged, the supercharger will feed the turbo(hx50 or hx52 sized turbo)
this time i will have more fuel.
some pics from my gearbox conversion.
bmw 330d/530d box to mercedes engine.

lengthening steering linkage, can't buy much for these cars so you have to make everything.

Your some man for the weldin fair fuck to ya. Best of luck wit the rest of the build
cool build bud, the missus must be delighted with ya if u can lenghten everything that easy! keep up the good work!
savage build so far love twin chargered engines,
whats your plan for adapting the gearbox I see u cut the front off the 330d
box are u planning on cutting the front off the original merc box for the bolt patteren and fit and weld it to the 330d or are u going to make some kinda adaption plate
cheers,
yea im gonna use this bell housing of an merc auto box and weld it to bmw box.
merc manuals are very notchy gear change so want something better.

now that is differnt !!! fair play fella keep up the good work ..
Awe nice how are U working the clutch,guess your using merc fly wheel but how do U fair out with the input shaft off the BMW box. Also how did u cut the gearboxes looks way to tidy to be a grinder sorry for all the questions just wanted to try this my self with my v8
just cut the housings with the grinder so far, to get all my measurements, then i will split the box and get the 2 housings milled flat,
flywheel started off like this.

machined alot of material of then it was drilled for m5 pressure plate.
release bearing needs to be bigger to reach new pressure plate,
when you set box in like this and put clutch and release bearing in you can see in and measure up everything. fitted new sprigot bearing into crank. using bmw clutch.

Credit where its due that's some tidy work. Its safe to say there's a bit of a engineer in ya anyways. Best a look with the build anyways lookin forward to see how it turns out
cool build bud, the missus must be delighted with ya if u can lenghten everything that easy! keep up the good work!
lol :D
Smashing build, keep it up, will you be competing in it ?
lol :D

lol.
thanks again guys for comments.
yea, i usually go to bishopscourt but will def go to mondello at some stage, will see how good i get, lol
any of you guys ever see one of these in a drift car?
http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mHu2AgGsQlbSc1GU49zfu7g.jpg
its a 2 to 1 gearbox that changes your steering from say 3 turns lock to lock to 1.5 turns.
i think it would help me.
there are a few bms with those steering quickners fitted, as the bms also suffer from a lot of turns lock to lock, i have yet to witness them drifting but they are supposedly working well.
i have never seen or heard of a diesel revving to 7000rpm like that, thats class!
i had always tought the combustion cycle didnt have enough time to work over about 5500rpm. how have you achieved it?
class build:cool:
these multivalve engines like to rev, revs are controlled by weights in the injector pump which are lightened and bigger elements in the pump means more fuel in a short window, so it can get time to burn.
i need cams to make more power in the higher rpm. That blue car had standard engine.
got the bell housings milled and i welded them up.

Looking good. Saw your other build on superturbodiesel. Did you use a guide to line up teh centres of teh bellhousing / gearbox or just use the input shaft and level the box?
got both surfaces milled flat, then i used input shaft to centre box.
more work done on the cage.

"Small turbo".....lol. This should be pretty mad.cage looks good too chief:)
This thing will be just mental when it's finished! The turbo looks as big as the supercharger! haha
What's next on the job list?
cheers,
have to make exhaust manifold and mount charger next i think.
that much too do, i keep getting side tracked, lol

welder turned a bit lower this time, 110 amps, so not as pretty but no cracks or warping so far, bolted to the engine this time while welding.
Jesus that's some amount of work u have put in fair play.. Keep up the good work :D
hi,
started the exhaust manifold, problem was: if turbo sits high 4 inch downpipe wont go down past 5 and 6 runners on right hand drive, so: turbo had to go low with manifold over the top of downpipe.

Nice tidy work, bet it took some time to make the manifold.!lol
yea, did the tapered pipes at the head with a tool i made for the press, then made the turbo flange and collector, did these over a period of time, then mounted the turbo and tacked the runners up in a day,with the mig, now the whole thing needs tigged. An evening or 2 should finish her.:)
manifold all welded up tonight.

some job on the manifold,, interesting build,, are you going to put the supercharger on an electronic clutch?? would be a good job for the high rpm,s
also what kind of bypass are you going to use and are you going to let the turbo blow through the supercharger,,?? ive a march superturbo so id know a bit about compound charging,,, its a mad idea and fair play for giving it a go,, will be keeping an eyeball on this,,!
clutch would be the job but can't find one that has 3 inch pulley.
gonna force feed the turbo and then the turbo will suck from atmosphere as well.
when the turbo sucks more than the charger can blow the load should come of the charger so its kinda blowing to atmoshere.
gonna make a divertor flap at turbo

gonna make a divertor flap at turbo
bypass flap would be crucial alright,could be worked off inlet manifold pressure mechanically or electronically with a solenoid etc,, , what kind of super charger is is?? should make way more boost than the turbo, depending on what pulley ratios you have, ive a wee roots type one on my car and itl make 2bar at its ease,, im sure theres a pulley out there for you somewhere,, air-con one or something,, whether it would hold without sliping is another handling,,
heres a diagram if you cam make any sense of it,, http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/rr206/Nakazoto_japan/nissan_doublecharge.jpg
looks like the turbo feeds the supercharger on this diagram, i'm feeding the turbo intake with my charger.
its an Eaton m112 of a jaguar xkr. Its purpose is just to spool the turbo, if its pressure gets too high it will just cause heat.
I'm guessing i will only need 1.2bar from the charger and the turbo will be 2.5 to 3 bar.
bit more done.
