ARP makes studs for a 104?

Kavkazia · #17 01-28-2010, 05:39 PM

I just did a research and they don't

. Maybe I can pull one of my head bolts to measure lenght and thread to maybe raceware engineering make me custom one,

.

190E that I was looking to buy has been sold,

. Its all good though, I just got to start hunting them at junk yards and hopefully I'll piece all the parts together in month or so.

You guys, both looking for one? I assume you've put the flag up on 190rev?

Where are you located? In the midwest they're as rare as hen's teeth.

I think I'm going to modify a Getrag 265 to fit.

Im in philadelphia.

You can check car-part.com. I found 2.6L gearbox on there for $500 but I can find it cheaper locally, there are alot of junk yards around philadelphia.

ARP will make you custom studs. The thread size and pitch is 14x1.75mm. All you have to do after that is measure the total length of the bolt and the bolt head width and height.

Thanks for the info and like I said before, I'll be emailing you about one of your turbo manifold in next couple of month!

I'll have my divided log style manifold finished by then. Better spool but uses the same amount of materials to make

early e30 m3 uses same bellhousing. its a better getrag than the 16v

Huh? You mean the Getrag out of an early E30M3 will bolt straight up to the M104? Sounds odd...

yep.

there's a porsche getrag from the same time period that will bolt up too.

look familiar?

c280nz · #27 01-29-2010, 01:37 AM

no that doesnt actually look familiar at all, are you sure it will bolt up to the mercedes m104 engine?

MAG58 · #28 01-29-2010, 01:45 AM

Agreed. No Bueno. Just because it's the same trans doesn't mean it'll fit on the same motor. BMW flopped their motor on all sorts of awkward angles.

Kavkazia · #29 01-29-2010, 10:19 AM

What do you mean by early e30 m3? They used same motor for all there production years i believe from 86-91 which was s14.

Does this mean you're not trying to sell your M104 set-up anymore & continuing to refine the system?
