STM Forward Facing Turbo Manifold - EVO 8/9 STM's Forward-Facing Turbo Manifold places the turbo right in the wide open front bumper of the Evo VIII & IX. This is the manifold that has broken numerous records including pushing a stock motor Evo VIII with a 6262 to 150mph trap speeds, along with making unbelievable 8 second passes at 16.
.Dear all,Now I dont know how many W202, R170, W208, w210 and w124 owners there are with the M111 engine.I myself own an old W202. Yes I know what some of you will say, 'What is the point, buy a faster car with a bigger engine.' This is true. However, here is the deal, the car is dear to me, I dont want to sell it as it's not worth much so I may as well enjoy it as it supposed to be enjoyed, driving it.Now turbo projects aren't simple, I understand this, or cheap, I understand this too.
I have a 1.8, which I also understand to be the most asthmatic of these engines. However, I do feel it is possible to introduce forced induction to these engines (a guy in Australia has a 230 kompressor which has been turbo'd). It will be a learning curve for me as although I am able to service my car, this will mean major work with spanners, modification of components etc.I will try and chart my progress from start to finish. If there are performance experts on the forum then your help will very much be appreciated.
Thank you and stay tuned. There will need to be 2 additional injectors (440cc each or thereabouts) which will be welded to the intake manifold to allow extra fuel to be added. These will be plumbed to a rising rate fuel pressure regulator and will be controlled by a Split Second AIC. Compression will be reduced by either:1. Getting a copper gasket made by Ferriday engineering2. Getting JE pistons3. Removing the 1.8 head completely and refitting the head and pistons from a 230 kompressor though I cant vouch for this working, even though a guy in the States has said he has done this with success.
