- I built a cheap Mercedes 190E Evo 2 Replica and it was time to drive over 1400 miles to Seattle for WekFest to join with hundreds of other modified cars. Let see if my Mercedes can make it…

Never could I've ever thought that that rusty 190E in the first episode would turn out to look like this. Great work!
Never underastimate an 190 E

@@user-lc4xv2xx1y I didn't. I even had one myself, great cars honestly. They just rust a lot.
Thank you so much
It's normal for a 190e to get up to 100 degrees C in traffic during summer. The fan is set up to only kick in at 110 degrees from the factory. Just make sure that the fan actually turns on when it gets up to that temperature and you're good to go. The car isn't actually overheating.
Yes, but when the radiator is old it gets worse, highly recommend replacing the radiator as the factory one wasn't that good. A good radiator will keep your car at 80 during idle on a hot day. I have the same car.
It's not normal... First you should trow away mechanical fan and mount electric one ...
yeah i also drive an old benz and it is totaly normal to get up to 100 mine kicks in just over the next mark on the temp meter
@@PLMacflyPL I agree an electric fan is a good upgrade but 100 degrees is not bad for the car and definitely normal when it gets no airflow. There is a reason why the engineers decided to only have the fan turn on at 110
1 rpm gauges is bad because ur fuse box & fuses are corroded, just gotta sand down fuses contact points, 10 minute fix
2 the clutch fan rarely goes out its the sensor that goes bad, it can be bypassed at the sensor on thermostat cover, just bridge a wire on the 2 connectors and fan will stay on
3 ur misfire & all seems like its electrical, the ovp relay would be a good start.
when OVP relay goes bad you will usually see i think the ABS light stay on or flickering
the car looks AWSOME dude, im so happy u kept through the project despite the numerous problems. keep up the great work
Keep it up you guys! Haven’t had this much fun following a TH-cam series for ages. Can also relate a ton; I bought an old SAAB recently which honestly is the most problematic purchase I’ve ever done 🤣 Watching these videos keeps me motivated to have it drivable soon! 👊🙏
The 190E is the racing car legend and was beautiful also God bless ❤️
Check your crank sensor and ovp. Sometimes when then engine gets super hot, the old crank sensor will quit working because heat interfers with electronics. Your ovp relay could have something to do with whats going on with the speedo and the hazard lights not working.
I second this, worst comes to worst it could be the EZL
Here is my problem with this project. It's half assed. Just cover the problems with a bodykit and wrap. Looks good untill you open a door or hood...or drive for a few hours. 😕
He hasent had it for long enough... I wpuødve fixed the engine and stuff bwfore looks, but he fixed everything but the engine because he didnt have to to do both
He’s on a 20k budget bro lol.
@@bigsmokeosrs7394and timing was really tight. They did as much, as they possibly could and more. It's a gamble, meant to be, youtube after all. On a high note, bit more of content like this and there will be more funds to finish the project properly.
It needs m111k with a turbo, and a 6 speed. Then it’s solid. My only question is why not start with a rust free example like the one I’m building now…
Or just swap it m104
I have a 190e that I manual swapped and m104 3.6 swapped. Let me know if you have any questions during the swap
What mounts did you use
@magnacars My car started as a 2.6, so I used the original 190e engine mount arms with new 190e rubber mounts. For the trans, I used all of the parts from a 190e 2.6 manual. The shift linkages, driveshaft and speedo cable are all unique to 190e 2.6, because the transmission is located farther back than on 4 cylinder cars. Also, since your car is a 4 cylinder, you will need to swap in a 2 piece radiator core support from a 2.6 car.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I used a lot of parts from different mercedes in order to make everything work as best as possible.
I missed a couple episodes because of school and just rewatched them and man this car turned out good! Great work hope you will make it!!!!
A great effort absolutely beautiful work love the car can’t wait for the engine swap maybe a 5.0 v8 out of a R129 500 sl Mercedes?
I love the light blue exterior with the dark blue leather interior.
The bug splatter though. 😂
i would maybe say that the bolt were for the main driveshaft but i can be wrong. Just a wild guess haha
Love that 370. ❤
Alternator is gonzo, happened to me on a road trip in my 190E.
👀
@@magnacarsGood work on the car regardless, the series has been amazing to watch! I hope you’re able to resolve the issue soon!
Keep your fans on full while idling, another issue that I seemed to have with my car too. It prevents it from overheating.
Love the progress. Dont know if it helps but check that your relays are good. Especially the OVP which in my knowledge is #1 cause for these mercs not starting. Might get lucky and 1000 grit the connector pins to clean em up for better contact.
And for the love of god check the spedometer cable is screwed on tight to the back of the instrument cluster but also check the other end into the transmission.
Literally just went and saw my mercedes guru yesterday and asked about the the fans cause mine too comes on at 110°. He said if i want peace of mind i could always wire in a switch and manually turn them on
Good luck and hope she started
have you tried hitting the speedomoeter to get it working
No I haven’t actually, I should’ve
Speedometer is probably a vacuum leak somewhere, it's connected to fans too
I have a 190E 2.30-16 - the speedometer cable broke and the speedo stopped working along with the odometer. simple fix. but the cheap $90 aftermarket ones are junk. try to source a used OEM one.
🙌🙌🙌
0:06 good choice m104 swap that bad boy
Or M111 or M113
@magnacars m113 would be cool but def the most difficult swap out of the 3
You need to install 4 of the SPAL smallest fans . Plus bigger alternator . Also plus bigger battery . Did you change the radiator ? Water pump, thermostat . What else . Good luck .
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Putting an evo 2 kit before maintenance and reliability is crazy …
keep the bolt as a souvenir
I think you should get in contact with DPUK in england and opt for one of those gorgeous om606 bullet proof crate engines that make serious power and will be reliable at the same time
Om606 for power and reliability imo
How much are they? Any website
pls buy some Nd filters or some kind of lens for your phone, we need crispy carporns
You should drive it to California and park it next to my yellow Evo2 replica
DM me on IG Magnacars
Why does your 190 evo looks like it came from Temu?? 😂😂😂😂
Cuz it basically did lol he got a cheapo evo kit for 10k and didnt fix anything mechanical in his series besides making Jason (The Asian guy) Do all the stuff on the car
Better than ur evo lol
initially i thought that was a gearbox bellhousing bolt.....can the autobox stall the engine...and cause a misfire....
Letsgoooo
No hazards tells me it is a ground issue
I think car battery is faulty or something with electrical wires
370z cool car
I hope you are going to run a turbo on that M104 👍🏻 Stock its a kind of boring slow reving engine that just drinks petrol. With turbo it’s a dream 😊👍🏻 by the way, at the border you do NOT have to answer all their questions etc etc
why not just do it if you have nothing to hide xD
Thats an m102 and they dont do much when you turbo them unless you convert to efi and standalone
@@jamesfairclough3290despite that the engine is going nowhere as it got metal in the oil it’s fried
Does this model have a computer? Reset the computer, unplug the battery for a moment.
Check fuses
Bro how did you do it
do a manual swap
this car is fav shitbox. keep it up
OVP relay I guess
Math is like 25-26 mpg ~
Turbocharge it?
Its a 190 mate you shouldnt think if its gonna break down they are bullet proof 😂
Oh shoot😢
Why the auto trans?
Because manual 190Es are hilariously rare and expensive in north america.
Fair enough. Thanks homie
Are you a Calgary lames fan?
You need to paint that front grill black or blue to match the car, this shiny like that doesn’t look too good
SMH....some of these theories are funny.
ngl it looks perfect. a new engine would be the best bet.
This project is all looks. The fact that you didn't even change the oil after you got the car. Simple, basic thing you can do yourself after you said in early episodes that you will learn as the project goes along. When the guys were fiddling with the body kit and welding, you could have pulled the engine and fixed it. It would have taken a lot of time but it was very possible to do it in time (including learning) as the car was being worked on for half a year. You said in a comment that you are not really interested in working on cars and you prefer doing interviews and such but then wasn't the money better spent traveling around and doing just that? Video quality and editing is great but clickbaits and very apparent lack of interest in doing any work on the car (even simple things that require little to no knowledge or preparation) is ruining this series.
FAKE!!!!!! EVO 😂😂😂😂😂
