Much better
The process of making this car look cool is just gonna be you washing it.
Put a laggy turbo on it and a good 7.5 pump and it will be fine but I'll say this. Go with a EDC pump and dsl1 it will be cheaper in the long run and the stock EDC pump will easily get you over the 200hp mark. I would put the mech pump in it and fire it up on the stand. The na heads have a weird issue with sucking valve seats up and thumping out the intake and exhaust even when the lifters are pumped up. The last 2 n/a engines I parted out had valve seat issues and one had a cracked head. If you look up the part number on the head they share the same number as the early turbo heads and due to the year of that one it will already have a MLS headgasket which is nice. If you want me to rebuild the injectors for you let me know I have all the equipment and can bump up the pop pressure to turbo specs for you
You're saying that the NA ones drop valve seats or they get recessed into the head more?
They get recessed into the head. Like I said if you fire it up on the stand and clear up the lifters (aka rev the piss out of it) you will hear the thumping if it has happened. You can still get the seats from Mercedes so it isn't a huge deal, the n/a heads just are way more prone to it for some reason
GREAT.
Standing next to my amazon and om606 it looked like the core support would have to go, and the oil filter housing would be touching your right foot. I didn't measure but the thought of stuffing it in there crossed my mind. Much approval
450 is a myth these things are like 550ish lbs with a stock turbo. It was enough to completely collapse my brand new d24 springs
It weighs enough to put a '14 Ram 1500 on bump stops.
I was being courteous to the engine lol.
Bumpin it so you do something cool instead of something lame
