I have a rebuilt transmission from Sun Valley waiting downstairs for me to collect all the peripheral parts involved in the swap. Transmission is always the first place to start in any automotive project so my investment hasn't gone very far beyond that. I just overpaid for a long intake runner manifold from a w115. I want it to go a little faster but i'm more concerned with a smooth usable powerband. Other than that I want to increase the ease of maintenance, and the cooling and filtration of the liquids. Many of it's it's luxury features will certainly stay since it is my daily driver.

Thanks! It was bought in 1983 in Red Wood City, California and ended up in Connecticut in the nineties I'm guessing. There is no rust through anywhere. It came with extensive maintenance records and looks to be well loved it's whole life. I am the fourth owner after a brief third who was my friend Andrea. I bought it for $4000 over many months. It is in "good" shape.

This is the tach amp Bob Myers makes for the 617. Bob is a member of peach parts. It works great and he's really cool. I have the wiper relay he offers as well. I haven't installed it yet. I get covered in dirty motor oil when I reach under the dash. There's going to be a full day behind the console I'm sure.
EGR removal wasn't too bad. I had to make the little "eared" plate to bolt over the flange on the intake manifold. I plugged the exhaust manifold by cutting the EGR accordion pipe an inch or so from the clamp and putting a little circle made of stove pipe between it and the manifold.

Took me a few hours to build the bracket and install this is a little cleanable fuel screen/sediment bowl to replace the awful tiny plastic ones. I have some black stuff in the tank and buying or cleaning the OE fuel screen was not practical.

Hopefully soon I'll install this rebuilt transmission from Sun Valley Mercedes Dismantlers. I had them tap a hole for a temperature sensor, as soon as I see where it is I'll get a picture. The guy from Sun Valley said it's the best place to read the transmission temperature.

The transmission in the car has the typical slips and jolts of a worn 300D transmission. But I have never felt more confident driving longer distances with a bad transmission than I do in this car. It's been behaving exactly the same way for a YEAR now driving about 30 miles per day almost every day. I take it on 80 min trips through New York City without hesitation. Today was the first day when something funny happened with the transmission, it jammed into third and chirped the tires a bit. I hope I have two more weeks.

I like fast cars, but only on the Internet. I owned an m roadster for 8 monhs before bankruptcy. I'm luck I'm still alive. They shouldn't let people have cars like that. Still even in that thing the clutch wasn't strong enough to scream in second on dry pavement. But It had a great rear differential. And stepless variable valve timing. And six huge butterfly valves. and at stop lights the stereo would turn down the volume for you. But enough of the ex girlfriends for me. I don't want my poor little German strudel to get jealous. She knows she's my favorite ever.

a newer ford powerstroke has a vacuum sensor in the airbox that trips when the air filter gets past it's service life. I'll look into this more because those filters are expensive and a little less or more dirt over time could mean a service life variable of many months.
1983 light ivory/palomino 300d turbo
just picked up a napa air filter 6637. It was almost 50 dollars but it's going to last about three years I figure. it's going to clamp on to a four inch elbow with flanges welded to it letting me bolt it to an air box. the hood is goin to end up being the top of the airbox. I would keep the awful stock setup before my engine sucked air from behind the radiator.

I need a separator for the crankcase vapors and some tubing to plumb up the intake to the filter. By the way Captain, do you know a good source for aluminum intake duct work and silicone tubes? And I have install some sheet metal to isolate the intake from the engine compartment. I'm itching to order parts but have to save some money for burning man. Probably be mid september before it's all in. I want to do it in one day, my only car.

I know. I'll post some pics tomorrow. I post from my phone most often and there is no way to upload photos from it. Time for Superturbodiesel mobile application!!
This afternoon I began disassembling and replacing the nozzles in my injectors with the Monarks. It seemed so while I was removing the injectors from the engine but on dissasembly I realized I had five different injector housings. They had all been replaced over the 27 years this car has been around. Just to see what my old injectors were doing, I hooked one up to the pop tester before I disassembled it and pumped some diesel through it. The spray pattern looked like a stream of piss. If I pumped hard it would atomize alright but never a good pop. An hour later or so the first nozzle went in and after hooking it up to the tester it gave a huge burst of atomized fuel. It almost knocked the little collection cup over. I think this thing is going to go faster.
I think this might be the most unpleasant job one could do on this car.

The one that pissed needed a nail set to get the old nozzle out there was so much carbon. I just got the Monarks in and balanced to within 100lbs and popping at around 2000psi. The thing fired right up as they say with a little more "tock" than the usual "tick". But I'm assuming the new nozzles have to break into themselves. I wanted to balance them myself because I just love spending two afternoons with myself in an underequipped workshop covered in toxic fluids. We're headed out tonight so expect a good report soon. Last night my father let me use his Toyota because my car was laid up. I got in it and turned the key to "on". Waited.. Realized there were no glow plugs and turned the key, nothing, oh. Must be in gear, nope, pushed the clutch in and it started. Then i got to the end of the driveway and stepped on the breaks and almost went through the windshield. I love my car.

The one that pissed needed a nail set to get the old nozzle out there was so much carbon. I just got the Monarks in and balanced to within 100lbs and popping at around 2000psi. The thing fired right up as they say with a little more "tock" than the usual "tick". But I'm assuming the new nozzles have to break into themselves. I wanted to balance them myself because I just love spending two afternoons with myself in an underequipped workshop covered in toxic fluids. We're headed out tonight so expect a good report soon. Last night my father let me use his Toyota because my car was laid up. I got in it and turned the key to "on". Waited.. Realized there were no glow plugs and turned the key, nothing, oh. Must be in gear, nope, pushed the clutch in and it started. Then i got to the end of the driveway and stepped on the breaks and almost went through the windshield. I love my car.

Injectors turned out great drove it this morning. A little more power but the throttle was more responsive and it ran a little smother at higher RPMs. I'm happy. It needed that really bad.

This is the big ass filter I plan on squeezing behind the right headlight. The top of the airbox has to be the hood and the walls are going to be a bent sheet of aluminum with weatherstripping on the top and bottom. The outlet is 4", I do know it's overkill. But who has fun following the rules now? It will be accompanied by a Mann-Hummel Provent 200 and some tubing.

I was looking for an agricultural air box similar to your H1 unit but didn't know where to duct the cold air from. I decided the air blowing through/around/over the right hand headlight assembly would be plenty as long as I built a wall between the radiator and air filter location. I plan on building a baffle so rain flying through the area doesn't hit the filter directly. Beer containers work so well representing size in photos don't they?

Most of us are very familiar with their size.Yeah there is no way I'm going to use the Humvee filter... BUT I would like to use a box like that and plum cold air to it from the cowl just in front of the windshield. Maybe build little scoops to sit on top of the cowl vents to get some air forced in at speed. I think the forced air would easily overcome the bends in tube from the cowl to air box to turbo.

Have you tested this? I think a scoop on top of the cowl would provide plenty of airflow even at low speed, not necessarily boost to the intake of the turbo but at least enough to overcome a vacuum created by the additional plumbing...

I've been looking at the vacuum valves on the throttle linkage for months now knowing there were too many extra lines and an extra valve. So after a little work with a hand held vacuum pump I've finally come up with something simpler. The top vacuum valve is the only valve needed for the transmission. It opens to the atmosphere at WOT and assures there is no vacuum going to the modulator. The bottom was for the EGR. I left an old broken valve under the new one as a spacer. Might be nice to machine a little piece of aluminum as a proper spacer some day. I have the modulating pressure set at 58 PSI and the smallest green vacuum throttling orifice is used just before the VCV on the IP. I have the VCV set for a little less vacuum than the stock setting which firms up the shifts a little like I enjoy. I think the modulator is getting a little less than 10 in. at idle. Anyone who has messed with these lines can probably get a pretty good idea from the pictures. I have two lines now running into the cabin to vent off the vacuum from the valve on the throttle and the VCV. I gave the little white valve it's own vent.
[attachment=3836]
Here is what I came up with for an oil pressure sender. The 42draftdesigns kit turned out to be superfluous. The oil gauge port on the oil filter housing is a 12x1.5mm thread. I'm using a banjo to AN. Next time I'd cut out the banjo and just use a 12x1.5 metric to AN adapter from BAT/mocal. For the other end of the oil sender line I'd just use a tee with NPT threads and an AN-npt adapter. The unused side of the tee will some day go to a bypass filter.
[attachment=3837]
here's my solution to CCV. A radiator hose going to the ground. It'll turn to mush in a few months but by that time I should have a separator. Until then, let the road have some of that cheap Rotella.

Yeah I did everything. It's all hidden under the car and is pretty boring to look at, but this thing is a monster now. I just step on the pedal and it goes. The transmission was about $1800 but all told I replaced about $5000 in parts. I could probably do it cheaper now because I learned quite a bit about this car. To just replace a transmission and only its parts I'd say it might run a DIYer $2500. It's an awful task so I just did everything that would be easy as hell while the engine was pulled and difficult with it in the car.

Yeah I did everything. It's all hidden under the car and is pretty boring to look at, but this thing is a monster now. I just step on the pedal and it goes. The transmission was about $1800 but all told I replaced about $5000 in parts. I could probably do it cheaper now because I learned quite a bit about this car. To just replace a transmission and only its parts I'd say it might run a DIYer $2500. It's an awful task so I just did everything that would be easy as hell while the engine was pulled and difficult with it in the car.

bye snow, it fired right up after months sitting with the battery connected. I took it for a quick bomb through a field with my girlfriend and must have hit a lot of manure cause it was covered when I got back. The rear suspension is on the schedule for early summer. Missed you guys!!
