ALEX HAS BUILT THIS RIDICULOUS SLEEPER - *YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHATS UNDER THE BONNET*

"Just LOOK at the size of that" Its hard to not just stop and stare when you see whats under the bonnet of this Mercedes 190.
22 year old Alex has created a real sleeper. Unassuming, stock to look at...... You'd barely look twice if you walked past in the street.
The performance is nothing short of hilarious. The car squats like mad, the suspension wants to kill you but have I ever had such a big smile on my face .....NOPE.
The car has been resourcefully put together by Alex on budget but is by no means trash. For example. The car has E36 front shocks, Saab 900 rear shocks its a real Frankenstein of parts.
We speak with Alex the creator of this mental Mercedes, we learn all about how the car came together. Geek out on spec and we take it for a drive.
Enjoy!

[@MacijPolishFighter]

It's nice that other youngsters see the potential in the old Merc's. I myself own a 190e with m111 2.3 swap (6speed) although I kept the eaton supercharger and got a custom 70mm pulley for it as I haven't got bored of the "helicopter" sound. They only bit I did not like in this video is at 12:25. Yes the 1.8/2.0/2.3 weren't that fast (even back in the day) but there was also 2.6L straight 6 not to mention the 2.3& 2.5 v16 cosworth and of course EVO1/EVO2 & the mighty DTM version. If anyone loves those cars as I do then I strongly suggest visiting the mercedes museum in Stuttgart. Anyway good content :)

[@CJK20]

Hey mate thanks for watching! Haha not heard the helicopter sound myself but had previous charged cars and never got bored of the whine! The museum seems a fair shout. I think that section at 12 minutes came out wrong. I knew about the performance versions I guess I meant more his shape version I should have been clearer.

[@stoatrepublic]

@ThePolskiKiD Do you know if kompressor engine mounting will fit OM613 CDI?...

[@-smp-scientificmethodpersp838]

Is your car on your channel? Where did you get the 70mm pulley? You also forgot to mention the AMG and Brabus versions that were even faster than the Evo's with their strait 6's, but weren't allowed to race, because they didn't meet DTM rules. Carlson, Schultz, Brabus and AMG dropped V-8's into the W201 chassis as well in special built vehicles.

[@TheZoonder]

Hey, I am thinking about the smaller pulley myself aswell. Do you need a ecu remap to make it work? Or have you just swapped it and ran like that?

[@pchwang]

helicopter sound = supercharger whine?

I have a 2.3 190e 86' Gold with 150K....clean title...no rust or body damage...just small dings.. paid $500.00 for it...Interior is near pristine..The owner of the towing company absolutely hated this car because he could not understand why it kept knocking off so, I rescued it from a towing yard with only minor issues with fuel pump. I have spent 3K in it so far. I plan on fixing all of the minor vacuum leaks and after get all dings out , re paint and lower it a bit. I bought some chrome 17' AMG rims from a wrecking yard all four for under $100 on sale.....crazy deal. i will repaint to original color but with some light metallic flakes. I just picked a silver 1989 Merc 300 CE coupe w/ 83K from my mechanic for a steal. The 300ce is my next project!

Hi, At last, I have been searching for a fairly easy engine swap for my 190e Great help thanks

[@TheFrancogt1]

Very original , slap some Steel wheels with hubcaps and really take some ppl by surprise!

[@CJK20]

Yeah 1000% the wheels do look good but for sure. Set of steels they won’t know what hit them!

[@romka_ind]

Wheels dont look good they are too large it is simply last thing to change here

[@Mr330d]

Damn I was hoping for a OM606

[@CJK20]

Hey buddy! That’s the 6 cylinder diesel isn’t it? Alex told me that’s quite common.

[@Mr330d]

CJK20 Yeah but I respect his decision because every man and his dog has a OM606 fitted to something back in the 90’s it was the most powerful diesel produced in Europe with 177bhp

[@CJK20]

Mr330d ive never really looked into them. How tunable are they man?

[@laservader1]

@@CJK20 Have a look at dieselpump uk, they're getting 600hp+

[@CJK20]

Týrmorr Jesus Christ. I’ll check it out thanks for the shout bro

[@pelopsxalikias]

I pray that some day my 190e will go as fast as yours mate, mad respect!

[@JV-hv8hq]

I have a 300D w124 and I love it! Congratulations it's very beautiful💯👌

[@JV-hv8hq]

Actually I would like to get a turbo, but I don't really know how to do it. What do you recommend to me? Thanks!!

[@CJK20]

I would recommend speaking to your nearest local tuner and seeing what build you can put together :) if you’re not overally experienced my man.

[@MegaLOLfighter]

I want to get an 190e and Engine swap it with Audi Quattro Inline 5 engine.

[@CJK20]

Cor that would be something else. One of the best sounding engines ever.

[@hazmiller43]

My new daily audi 100 has a 2.3 inline 5, not quite the quattro turbo but sounds insane for 150hp

[@oscarlainz]

Porsche 944 2.3 swap😏

[@Dextro1945]

There is an oem inline 5 turbo diesel which can handle much power. Sound great, too!

[@christianh.8408]

Just buy an 190d 2.5 and om605 swap it, you can run on over 450hp on the stock engine😅 (only a new manifold, a bigger fuelpump and a bigger intercooler)

[@TankMouseProductions]

SHAME on anyone that sends a 190E to the scrapheap!!!!

[@CJK20]

Exactly they deserve to be shot 😂

[@rodthedon]

Beautiful car. One of my favourites

[@roger3221]

That's how do it! Stock Merc and only Merc parts. No Supra or Skyline engine swap, but all the parts fram the same brand. Love it!

[@CJK20]

That’s what I liked about it too. It isn’t the usual swap.

[@sunnyg4261]

This young man has done a smashing job here. It's rare people get classic tuning right, this car is a touch of class

[@CJK20]

Awesome Sunny thank you buddy!
