Hello there, thank you for the nice info video. I have this RHD 190E M104 swap project here. I’m trying to find out what radiator and fan I should use with no or minimal cutting and fabricating works? I would really appreciate your tips or comments. 🙏
Hey fella i love in the US and i have a mercedes 190e sportline and i recently aquired a 3.6 liter amg engine for the swap, ive tried finding any guide online but i cant. I have the engine to boot but im not exactly mechanically inclined 😂. If you could give me some pointers thatd be awesome. I know your engine is a 3.2 (as far as i can tell) but are there any hurdles i should be aware of? I know i need to redo the entire wiring harness, ecu, and tcu but i was tild i need all those parts from the same car. Any help is appreciated
Hey mate go stand alone ecu, The 190e trans will bolt to the m104, You’ll need to redo sway bar if you don’t have a 2.6 190e along with different engine mounts You’ll want to spice 2.6 sway bar, engine mounts and radiator everything else should bolt in and up to the original 190e stuff
@@6ixSpeedBenz its not plug and play you'll need a wiring diagram for both cars and cross reference it to suit it worked ok i couldnt get it to stop rev cutting at 5k though i have gone standalone now and am in the process of tuning it
hoping to swap from my 2.6 w201 to a 3.2 m104.99 got a motor, harness and ECU, what else is needed, I heard there Is different fuel system needed, from nz also
Nothing you just need to get engine going on the m104 ecu and loom, Your better off going standalone the factory ecu is a pain to deal with, I’ve done it won’t be doing it again Everything else will bolt straight into your 2.6 use your 2.6 engine mounts and your good to go even down pipe will bolt up
@@martinpik1 does it cope with the added horsepower well? Did you also swap the clutch from the w124? Im planning on swapping the 3 litre m104 into my 1.8. In the german forums I alwas read you need to swap the front of the 2.6 w201 so it can fit the radiator and a 6 cylinder.

I saw on google people commenting if it would be possible to put the head of the pagani with the m120 engine in the m104 engine, is it possible to put the head of the 6.0 v12 or 7.3 v12? What parts of the Zonda m120 are possible to install?
Hey bro I have a e320 coupe that i crashed Its an automatic Do you think i can just buy a e190 and through all the stuff from the c124 in there and it will work? Or will I need to buy some stuff?
Looks like you stopped doing TH-cam so hopefully you see this. Are the engine mounts all the same for the 190es? Or are they all different depending if you have a 4l,6l or diesel engine?
Awesome 190! We have a 190e 2.6 and are swapping in an m104.99. Do you know which LINK ECU you used? It see they have a few options and we aren't sure what will work (we also plan to meet with the tuner). We are going to use a Drive By Wire throttle body by the way.
There's a LINK dealer near us, but we were also thinking of going with MegaSquirt EMS 2 as a cheaper option. Honestly we are just not very confident about what will work. We also have a manual trans!
Hi I used link atom but would recommend the next one up as I’m running everything on wasted spark and injection, Mega squirt is fine but here in New Zealand there’s no real stockist and no one knows how to tune them so link was the obvious choice and it works well
Hey did you keep the EGR on your engine when you had the factory ECU? I noticed your engine does not have the auxiliary air pump on. I have a C280 and I'm wanting to remove the EGR and pump without tripping the CEL or EGR warning light in the dash. Any ideas? I'm in NZ too 😀
hey mate i removed all of it but wasnt to worried about warning lights as it was running fine on stock ecu, but mine did come out of a w124 e320 not a w202 so it may be different for you
Hey man, I'm currently doing the same engine swap but the bottom of my oil sump is hitting the sway bar when the engine mounts are resting which means the front is sitting too high and the bonnet wont close. Which 4 set of bolts do you have the engine arm mounts attached to as Ive been told to have them on the back 4 but its not currently working or did you have to modify the sway bar at all?
What trans are you running man? Do you think Ill have a problem mating the m104 3.2L engine in my 190e to the Gertrag 5 speed dogleg??? Any help will be a blessing thanks man
all bolts together as theyre all the same depending on how good you are with wiring i had the stock ecu going for 2 years but have now gone to a LINK standalone ecu, i would go with the most popular ecu iin your country so you have more choices of tuners
clutch is perfectly fine as long as your not doing stupid shit normal driving hasn't caused me any issues with the original clutch from 1984 other then normal wear and tear the gearbox installed is out of a New Zealand new 190e but has a w124 stamp code on it which i would assume is a w124 box
@@martinpik1 thanks for the answer. I wish the car will always please you. I also have a project for the construction of a Mercedes 190e with an M104.981 engine with a ke-jetronic. I decided to collect with a margin of safety. changed the box to 717.430 which withstands 270 nm with a clutch of 240 mm, and also changed the differential from 2.3l
Hey, Nice work!. I'm doing the same conversion on a 2.6 chassis but engine came from w202 so rear exhaust manifold is no good, picked up a W124 rear exhaust manifold but didnt realise the downpipes could also be used?(was planning to extend original 2.6 rear pipe),to use the W124 down pipes do you need to weld in a flange before the Cat? cheers
Nice work! I currently have a complete five speed swap for a 190e. Is that a dual mass flywheel from a 190e four cylinder? Trans number 717.413 I also noticed you used a 6 cylinder flex plate for the timing tabs. Did you need to use longer bolts to make up the difference? The transmission is getting bolted to a m104 3.0-24. Also what type of clutch did you use?
I took spacer ring out to compensate for flex plate while running stock ecu have now removed it completely and run trigger wheel on the front I’m running standard Sachs 190e clutch holds up well as long as you don’t launch it and take it easy Flywheel is is standard m102 single mass very early type which has no timing pick ups at all
Hey mate, This is one of my dream builds and I’m a big fan of this project of yours. Here in Australia, the 2.0 is quite common and I would love to swap an inline six m104 in one. Just wondering which transmission you are using? Cheers and all the best with your projects and channel.
Hi your work is amazing This idea it was in my mind So I want to ask you can I swap the engine with out tuning Or should I buy a haltech computer And can i make the diff locked And sorry for my English I know it's so bad

@@hellothere8845 place it onto crank shaft before putting flywheel on you will need to remove some spacer rings and cut the ring gear off of the flex plate You want the flex plate to sit flush against flywheel so some grinding of flex plate is required This all depends on what pick ups are on your flywheel as there are different ones my one was out of a early 190e which had the pick ups in the distributor
Hey SickBenz, i have a few questions, im not totally new to car engeneering, i know a thing or two, i played a lot of my summer car so i recognize some parts, but most things are not really clear to me, but i want to do the same as you did in this video and more. im looking for a 190 project car, wich will be my first project car ever, in fact, my first car ever, i been saving up money to do so! So the first question: do you think i can do this too? Or is it too difficult? If not, i should consider looking at another car or just save more money. The second question is, at the end of your video, it looks like the hood/bonnet wont fully close, is this because the engine is not mounted yet? Or do you have to adjust some things inside the engine bay? Thank you in advance and really nice work and explanations! Sorry for my bad English as its not my primary language :D
hey mate your English is fine, the engine swap is pretty straight forward hardest part is the engine management, a lot of people will tell you to get a different car but in my opinion the 190e is no different or harder to mod then any other car biggest issue is supply as it is very hard to get mods for Mercedes Benz so I resort to either making things my self or scouring eBay for specific parts, at the end of the day I find it more rewarding this way as not many people will have something as unique as a modified 190e, with the bonnet everything fits under to the hood it is very tight but definitely fits, the Kangaroos team make a lot of parts to suit the 190e and would be the best place to start unfortunately shipping to NZ isn't worth it, if you can find all the parts you want to put into the 190e then defiantly go ahead with it as its a very rewarding experience and you do learn a lot by doing it,
@@bartog1800 if its got immobilizer in it it wont start so you need to program it out or get a different engine management its also wiring a lot of people are not confident when it comes to electrical and wiring
I just wondering if you guys can make one video about basic tuning tutorial for beginners? You Will help is ;) Tnx hope you Will understand what i mean :)

@@whatyoumean3383 everything from m102 will bolt to m104 id leave all the m012 stuff in and bolt m104 to it that's what I did with both m111 and m104 its all the same stuff as long as your not doing stupid stuff it'll handle the power if your going aftermarket ecu put trigger on front of engine if your using original m104 ecu you need to bolt flex plate to your 4cyl flywheel so you have the correct magnetic pick ups for it to run
From witch transmission you cut flex plate?
M104 auto trans
@@martinpik1 can you plese tell me where i should place this flexplate? Thanks mate
@@hellothere8845 place it onto crank shaft before putting flywheel on you will need to remove some spacer rings and cut the ring gear off of the flex plate
You want the flex plate to sit flush against flywheel so some grinding of flex plate is required
This all depends on what pick ups are on your flywheel as there are different ones my one was out of a early 190e which had the pick ups in the distributor
I want motor w201 2.5
Hey SickBenz, i have a few questions, im not totally new to car engeneering, i know a thing or two, i played a lot of my summer car so i recognize some parts, but most things are not really clear to me, but i want to do the same as you did in this video and more. im looking for a 190 project car, wich will be my first project car ever, in fact, my first car ever, i been saving up money to do so! So the first question: do you think i can do this too? Or is it too difficult? If not, i should consider looking at another car or just save more money. The second question is, at the end of your video, it looks like the hood/bonnet wont fully close, is this because the engine is not mounted yet? Or do you have to adjust some things inside the engine bay? Thank you in advance and really nice work and explanations!
Sorry for my bad English as its not my primary language :D
hey mate your English is fine, the engine swap is pretty straight forward hardest part is the engine management, a lot of people will tell you to get a different car but in my opinion the 190e is no different or harder to mod then any other car biggest issue is supply as it is very hard to get mods for Mercedes Benz so I resort to either making things my self or scouring eBay for specific parts, at the end of the day I find it more rewarding this way as not many people will have something as unique as a modified 190e,
with the bonnet everything fits under to the hood it is very tight but definitely fits, the Kangaroos team make a lot of parts to suit the 190e and would be the best place to start unfortunately shipping to NZ isn't worth it, if you can find all the parts you want to put into the 190e then defiantly go ahead with it as its a very rewarding experience and you do learn a lot by doing it,
@@martinpik1 hey, thank you for your answer! Why is the engine management hard? Is it difficult to care for the engine?
@@bartog1800 if its got immobilizer in it it wont start so you need to program it out or get a different engine management
its also wiring a lot of people are not confident when it comes to electrical and wiring
@@martinpik1 OK thank you for the answers! Maybe i send you another chat when i bought the car!
I just wondering if you guys can make one video about basic tuning tutorial for beginners? You Will help is ;) Tnx hope you Will understand what i mean :)
I’ll. See what I can do after Xmas
Hi. I am swapping an M104 to my 2.3 190e. The motor is from a C280 (w202). Do you know if those engine mounts will work? I have the reference number. If there is a place where I can write you like Instagram let me know. Thank you!
hi I'm not 100% on those engine mounts my 3.2 came out of a w124 and they bolt in but it's very tight they may fit but like I said I'm not sure I know the w124's fit
@@martinpik1 hi! I bought the w124 mounts like you told me and the engine fits. Thank you. One question, what swaybar do you use? The original one from the 190e touches the oil pan. Thanks again👍🏻
@@bielgrauig i have to track down a 2.6 one but you may be able to modify mounts in your country you can't do that in NZ as it wont be road legal if you did
