1990 Mercedes Benz W201 190 2.6 Turbo
Bought this car a couple of months ago, a Mercedes W201 190E 2.6. It has megasquirt and turbo installed, welded diff,and it was dynoed to 300hp. That was reason enough for me to buy it. The car ran great, and was real fun to drift with, but sadly the fun only lasted for 3 days.
There was a loud “boom” and I diddnt understand at first what happened. The car started, and was drivable, but obviously i understood something was wrong. I disambeled the engine, and this is what i found..
The next engine will be Mercedes M103 3.0Turbo or Chevrolet 5.7 Big Block dragster engine

Ouch
make it a 3.0 and retain the turbo and efi
put 3.0 turbo
Why don’t put the v8 from c 63 amg? Sorry i don’t know the engine series of mercedes brand.
Wow. Complete failure. Ouch.
Still not sure if I should upgrade the exterior or keep it stock. A sleeper is always cool, but this will be a track car, so I havent really decided on that either. Any thoughts?
