Thank you for answering the questions I had on IG a while, especially regarding the radiator and intercooler size. You gave me the motivation to finish the conversion in mine. Would definitely love to see more videos about the car. Especially the numbers it's making with the smaller pulley etc.
Killer build. Here in The States I’m dreaming of building one with an EVO II body kit, DTM livery, and a Toyota BEAMS 3SGE on ITBs. Have to get started while they’re still relatively cheap and available.
Man you don’t understand how helpful this was dude please make more videos I went on the forum and I don’t know if I was on the right one but most had negative thoughts and didn’t even help a little and face book people are donuts and say go read for my self in the forums lol I’m obviously going to keep getting knowledge but thanks
Your Video is propably the Best out there! I didnt find most of the Info anywhere Else online! I‘m motivated to try it on my 1.8 too because the Engine is Not Bad but also Not very powerful and also thirsty AF, I think the Stock 2.3 wouldnt Even Consume more fuel if Driven the Same Style
@@dutch.190e I have many swapped Cars, mostly BMW. I always liked the 2.3K Engine and think it should be a Perfect match for the w201. I actually have to get myself informed about the ECU and how much trouble it is to use the 197hp evo Version instead of the normal 193hp old version. I will get a complete car because I didnt like it to buy Part for Part when you need some, and 230s are (today - 2024) veeery affordable. What I like is the fact that you told us about the Engine Mounts! I didnt knew there were some ones out there that Are just Bolt on! How about your brakes? I swapped mine to the ones from w124 300-24 with 4 Pistons and those Are very good brakes! But you need to run 17“ which Not everybody likes.
Thank you Jari, nice and helpful short summary for your swap project! I have 2002 SLK 230 car as a donor car and I will use for my 1986 190D swap. I would like to use the stock ECU from the donor car, what do I have to do to disable all the unnecessary features like immobilizers, traction control and other safety features?
Thanks! Good luck with the swap! Removing those futures would involve some programming in the stock ecu, you would have to find someone that can do that for you. I had difficulties finding someone willing to do it as I had the ecu and engine all apart already. Usually they want the whole car in their shop do to the programming. So if your 230 still drives I would recommend to get the immo and other futures removed first, and then take the car apart.
I got no ac on this car. Not sure how difficult it is to make the m111 ac pump work with the 190e ac system. My standalone ecu does support controlling ac, so that part would be easy
great stuff. what size diameter is the tubing from the throttle body and to the intake filter? Using that tubing helps utilize the space better for the radiator and intercooler! also helps in linking the intercooler to the supercharger. very neat engine bay
Hey Jari, ten eerste kudos voor de ombouw! Ben op dit moment met eenzelfde project bezig; heb op dit moment 1 vraag en dat is waar je de elektrische fan gekocht hebt voor dit type radiator? Heb je toevallig een link?

Love it. For someone who's never done an engine swap before but wants to do similiar 190E m102 -> 2.3m m111k swap, what donor car would you recommend to get the engine from and is it better to have the 190e m102 with ke-jetronic than with carbunator or does it matter? Also if I want to go with turbo instead of supercharger is there a huge advantage to go with stock kompressor 2.3 vs. the stock NA 2.3 as a base? Because if I'm not looking forward to opening the engine for gapping the rings etc. if possible. Tysm
I got mine from an R170 SLK 230, would recommend getting it from something similar. I had the ke-jetronic version, but I think it would be no different with the carb version. If they have the same transmission at least. For going turbo you would have to go with the kompressor version, it runs lower compression for the boost. So the N/A wouldn't work well without a rebuild.
@@mag1cks251 if you use a carb car, you'd have to sacrifice the electric fuel pump from the donor also... not sure about the fuels lines itself. Just a hint;-)
The best engine to get is the M111.973 or M111.975 out of the SLK R170 230 Kompressor. Has the best internals and has the lower compression ratio. Also if you plan on goin turbo, you'll have to source the aluminium intake manifold as the stock plastic one will break with boost. The m111.973 also has the space in the head to use the aluminium manifold as the injectores have the point inside the head itself.
Subscribed and followed. I've had my 190e for 2 years and im planning on it being my first self-built project car. This video is a great resource and one that i will come back to in the future. thanks for the overview. Which car did you get the engine from?
I have an m11k in my c230 I was going to use. Figured it'll be the same with a standalone ECU. Was going to go with the ECU masters but they seem to be outta stock, how long did it take you get yours? Otherwise I might just go mega squirt
The official dutch ecumaster dealer had them in stock when I bought them. So I could just pick it up, no waiting time. Kinda sucks that they're out of stock! I would recommend it over mega squirt.
Hi I'm looking to put a stand alone ecu in my Benz and I heard u say u liked the master black stand alone ecu so I went to look them up and they have a lot of different ones which one did u go with?

klopt, de originele past niet en die van de m111 zelf ook niet. Iemand met dezelfde swap had mij verteld dat ik de Rymec sf1002 kit kon gebruiken. je moet wel een hoop wegslijpen en aanpassen voordat ook deze goed past. ik weet niet of er betere alternatieven zijn

Im wondering if the m111 fits the stock 4spd transmission, also i want to know if the sf1001 conversion kit will work, because i cant find the 1002 anywhere
I think the bolt pattern is the same, if so it should fit. not sure if the 4spd is strong enough though. There are alternatives for the sf1002 kits. the rymec website has a cross reference tool for finding alternatives
@@paavorahkonen7634 good question, I'm about at the same point. Already bought a 1997 CLK donor car, which has the electronic ignition switch and the immobilizer. But already found a company in Austria, who can deactivate the immo with just the engine computer sent via Mail to them. This should reduce some hassles. But then on, we´d have to find a wiring diagram to find out, what infos the engine needs, to run. Something i found out also is, that these 230K cars get their speed info via the ABS/ASR sensors, thats why you weather put in the donor's electronic speedo and warning lights etc., or transform a newer gearbox to manual speedo drive... Hope that helps a little. I'm no electronic expert myself, but would prefer to run the original ECU also🙂
if you use stock ecu you can make it work, but with standalone you also need a separate controller for the transmission. but I think with both it will be quite difficult
It will work but if you use stock ecu you need to have matching ignition for the motor. if you mix and match you will have problems so get everything off a single car if you plan to go stock ecu.
@@dutch.190e also what is the rpm limit? We are planning to build a 190e specifically for track use and planning to get linear power curve with approx 350hp so supercharger is what we would love to retain & avoid turbocharger. Just want to know the limit of supercharger poweroutput
@@hrautocustoms2468 My engine maxes out at 6500 rpm currently. And my supercharger to about 14k rpm. You can make the supercharger go to 16k rpm for short amounts of time safely.
