ive heard parts for that are insanely expensive.
consider this.....even a pair of small 50-55 mm turbos would be enough. rear mount where the mufflers sit with a reservoir and oil pump. make them ball bearing so it takes a drip of oil. the piping from the back intercools it.
do it man.

well **** thats not worth a crap.
can the engine carry a crank trigger mounted on the damper or crank pulley?
can the valve cover be modded to carry a distributor or cam position sensor?
use a oem USA throttle body?
what im getting at it is use a ford or GM pcm. there are lots of ways to get around barriers.

if this is your e55 engine, it will certainly adapt a distributor into either side.
we do that in racing modulars all the time 2v, 3v, and 4v. then use stan alones to run them at 9000 rpms.

Yeah a stand alone for this car is 8k. I still haven't decided what direction in going with on it yet. I still need to address more cooling. But I think my main issue is needing a trans tune. Running a taller tire pissed a lot of systems off lol. But the main thing, is that it made my shifts lazy

if i had purchased one instead of the coyote i guarantee i would do exactly that.
consider.
the two pipes in front of the passenger front cover at the valve cover.....reroute them...
as far as mounting a distributor at that position....its a simple matter of welding the distributor boss accurately centered on the cam pulley. there is already a half circle cast into the front cover. its a simple matter of bolting them together and drilling a relief in a bridgeport large enough for the distributor boss to fit and welding it.
so, not the boss is in position and there needs to be a method of fitting the distributor onto the cam pulley.
the bolt can be used but it needs a standard motor coupling and either small holes drilled into the cam pulley or welded on.

we do distributors ALL THE TIME in the modular world.
the benz is no different. and a stand alone pcm that uses a distributor is a few thousand. one with a map sensor will easily run that benz. its not hard at all. it doesnt take a lot of tech either.you just gotta do it if you want a easy turbo.

Id be happy with 550ish whp on this. Don't want to go too crazy on it since I drive it 150 miles a day to work. And theres a LOT of animals put here in the desert. One being hogs. So id be sick if I dropped all that coin and it gets destroyed. If I retire it from daily duty, I may go all out
