Hello every 1 i love tuned cars espacialy do it by self. As for i found good car W201. 1st bought 9 years ago and 3 years ago M102 engine down i want rebuild but in my country spare part almost not and insufficient and some 2nd hand parts not trusted then i want swap engine, result of long time searching found comport engine was 4G63 but also In mongolia cheap and good engine find very hard therefore i choosed G4CP.
My 1st target do economy and daily drive car shuch as i did. When i swap engine past 1 year i got idea my 2nd prjoect that must be also W201 and custom tuned sport car so bought 2nd W201 as for palning begin project this year.
plz C my daily drive G4CP swaped W201











and now my project car body i hope will be perfect car as ny dream

I dig it. You have a lot to do on the second car, it's in rough shape. Good luck!

What kind of transmission is that? It looks really short. Some kind of 4 speed? Or is that an adaptor plate and you're running the stock Mercedes transmission?

Yes there original Merc gear box short 1 is 4 speed (mounted in my daily drive) long 1 is 5 speed (will be put in my project car)

Some information of about DOGLEG GETRAG 5 Speed EVO gearbox. This gear box is best gear box ever for W201 models and model code is 717.404 there is rate of Toyota R154 and Merc 717.404
Gear ratios R154--------------- Getrag dogleg

I: 3.250:1------------- I: 4.08;
II: 1.955:1------------- II: 2.52;
III: 1.310:1 ------------- III: 1.77;
IV: 1.00:1------------- IV: 1.26;
V: 0.753:1 ------------- V: 1.0;
R: ------------- R: 4.16
Therefore The 717.404 gearbox i hope can beat R154 especially for Drift
About my conversation of plate

it is hand welding adaptor plate for specially Merc 717.*** series gear boxes



without adaptor plate

with installed adaptor plate

What kind of space on the passenger side of the engine do you have for a turbo? Got a picture of that? Good project, look forward to seeing more.

I'm changing my plan, 1st will be swap my daily drive G4CP SOHC to DOHC engine. Because it's get more experience and began past weekend.





there difference fly wheels left to right 2.0 DOHC and 2.0 SOHC

and here between engine and gearbox gap

oil way i geuss this way goes to turbo

and here my moded steering pump for W201. That was very easy swap because before modificated on SOHC

and here mounted engine in car also passenger side space between chassis and engine i guess there enough for turbo








Also this is my work shop and my some cars



my wife's W168 A class

Result of my plan daily drive become powerful and economical also comfortable. Main target is fuel consumption, only for daily drive why ? reason is my 1st SOHC SWAP fuel consumption got very high almost 20 L per 100 Km in city. (But for my future project W201 fuel consumption not important for the project IS Powerful Speedy also Good better tuned car) Therefore plz share your minds openly. I be happy to your consults. Tnx

I want cold air intake turn reverse, any 1 have idea?


Is this SOHC Cold air intake manifold but small as DOHC.

Several have cut the intake flange off the normal side and welded it on the other. I had several so just cut one off an intake I wasn't using.

Did some work past week turn intake and motor mount but stacking on manifold. Plz share any have idea for non turbo manifold.

So gone long time without any post because rebuilding engine and waiting spares, complete kit was for G4CP about 250USD from Korea. Just finished few days ago. So some pic assembly for build






There's lost pictures about receiving complete kit and procedure building and hook up harness therefore direct how to running engine
