I'm putting together a turbo engine for my 190 E, and would like to have some extra volume in it...

The crank from a MB 3.5 liter diesel engine would be a lot cheaper than a Renntech or AMG(at least I think so) stroke kit...


I'm getting pistons from JE, but I don't know how much the standard piston rod can handle, anyone have an idea?


...You can expect a lot more questions coming from me in the future...

I was reading somewhere that someone with a C36 turned it into a 500 + hp car by putting in a S 350 Diesel crank, custom rods, and pistons, then they turbo charged it. I read it on here. Someone was looking for a C36 article. Do a search on that, you should find it.
