Something about the design is so simple and elegant. I can't find any diesals in my area though

they're pretty reliable and simple to work on (except for the injection system in the fuel-injected petrol models), but they're slow and not very economical

that's why I swapped in a Nissan RB20DET + manual gearbox, and installed lowering springs and stiffer shocks into mine, it was really what the car needed to be fun. such a great chassis, but the Mercedes petrol engines are really mediocre and underpowered.

The 2.3 will be very very slow.

Evo > 2.5 turbodiesel > 2.6 inline 6 > 2.5 diesel > 4 cyclinder

It's not meant to go fast..

OP, that car is really clean and it's in a nice neighborhood. Looks like it could be a good buy.

why do all that just for 70hp?

>>13938145
because I can

>>13938171
to elaborate, I'd have gone with a 1JZ or RB25, but I got the RB20 for so much cheaper, and it should be good for 350-400hp with bolt-on upgrades. even with the stock turbo it does hektik skidz, unlike with the old 2.6 boat anchor

>>13936586
My nigga, I just picked a 1986 190D a couple months ago, but sadly its not turbo

>>13938203
you really are a moron.

keep these cars stock and take your uncivilized SKYRINE XDDD heap the fuck out of her .
Go back to whatever stance forum you came from before we tear you apart.
I'm getting to old for this shit

Actually breddy gud
More pics?

Guys if I could find a clean one of these should I part out my 300CE and drop the M104 3.0 DOHC I6 into a 190? I think it's been done before. Then twin turbo it. Fuck that thing would move..

>>13941627
just twin turbo the 300CE

>>13940850
Lol look at this mad faggot

Looks clean and well equipped. Ask for if head gasket is done, it's very common fail on these cars but it's relatively to easy replace. Pay very close attention how it idles, should be smooth 600? rpm on automatic.

>parting out a CE
While the M104 swap is a good idea, I'd keep the CE in good condition because those things are awesome.

>>13941627
it's possible and there are several builds

A souped up OM606 truly is a miracle of the universe

>>13941652
I have also considered that....
>>13941776
Fucking right?
Also that video made me jizz
>>13942055
That's the problem, it's not in great condition to begin with. I mean, there's a good door, a good hood, sunroof, the lights are OK... Trunk is rusted, body is rusted, driver's door is rusted...Engine needs rebuilt I feel...Interior is 7/10....And it has over 300,000 miles on it. Not that they can't go that long because it's still 100% driveable no problem but it's just...Heart wrenching is all I can say.
>>13942329
But this makes me think I can get it restored and do something..
>>13942303
I've used peachparts before to get parts for it.. I'll have to look deeper.
