I definitely should have soaked them before hand! And I'm painting the exhaust, well, the can says "flat red" on the sticker, but it is actually more of a reddish-orange-ish color. Can't decide if I should paint the intake manifold or not, if I did I would want it to be a different color than the exhaust, but I don't have any other high temperature paint and I'm not sure if regular spray will work or not

Tomorrow I'm gonna try to finish getting the methanol stuff set up, I have to route the line from the trunk and hook up the wiring and stuff, soo I hope that will take another second off the 0-60 time, because then maybe it finally might be down to 14 seconds lol

05-21-2012, 11:32 PM #153Got the manifolds in, and things are allllll goooooood. The butt dyno says there is definitely an increase in low in horsepower and torque, and probably a good second has been taken off my 0-60 time. I still need to wire up the pyrometer though, but the probe is in there!

I would have to say that it was definitely a lot easier putting everything back together, partly because I knew where everything went and all the tricks, and secondly because I didn't have to put quite as much stuff back on. I'm sure that when it comes time to do it all again it won't take me nearly as long to get everything off the car

05-22-2012, 05:01 PM #155I just put plain non-egr manis from an '80 300SD. I have a w115 intake mani that I almost put on, but I didn't have one of those big rubber elbows to make it work with the turbo, so I'm just gonna save it until its time for an intercooler.

05-23-2012, 12:57 AM #157Yeah me either, the way I see it is that to need an intercooler, I need to have a bigger turbo (either stock rebuilt with bigger comp wheel, or fancy vnt). And in order to need a bigger turbo, I need to have more fuel, which means pulling the pump to make adjustments, and despite reading the thread on adjusting pumps probably 10 times I am still definitely not prepared to pull mine out and possibly mess it up lol. So for now, I will just be content with the stuff that I have already done.

And iirc the rear seat back needs to come out to change the rear shocks, so I'll finally route the water injection line from the trunk to the engine bay at the same time, so I might finally get that whole thing finished lol
And I think I might pull all of my wvo stuff out this weekend, seeing as how I don't have access to any more bulk used wvo (my friend and I were getting hundreds of gallons from a tortilla chip factory, and they stopped selling to us because we low balled on the price, or should I say, my friend lo balled on the price haha) SO I might finally be able to use my trunk once again for carrying around tools or moonshine or bodies or whatever else I have a need to move from point A to point B

08-23-2012, 03:36 PM #158Sooo, if all goes well (it rarely does) and I am able to find the backing plates for the genII w126 brakes this week at the junkyard, then I'll be installing the w126 brakes within the next week. Also have 4 Bilstein HD shocks en route, as well as a new steering stabilizer, so I'll be installing them as well.

Different temp rating wiper fluids supposedly have different amounts of methanol in them, although it might just be a marketing ploy for a higher price.

Aye aye, manual trans is going in some time in the next two or three weeks, all I'm waiting for now is a 4-speed shifter from benzguy300, and tomorrow I'm going to Mercedes Benz of Fresno to buy/order some flywheel and pressure plate bolts, and some clutch line I guess. I'll definitely take plenty of pictures and videos after that. I might even hook up the pressure switch to the water/methanol system and pour some alcohol in there

Its all good, I found a seller online who has some NOS ones without the gold stars so I'm gonna send some money his way this weekend. Lucky for me I have a set of the gold center stars from a different set of wheels that should work, so I should be good to go some time in the next couple weeks. Not sure how the chrome centers are gonna look with the powdercoated wheels though lol
Okay mike-81-240d here's a pic of the Euro lamps, although you're probably already seen it over on facebook. I also stole the Royal Automobile Club badge that came on my dad's 240

03-20-2013, 02:50 AM #183Got my injectors rebuilt by Greazzer and put them in the car this weekend, also advanced pump timing as far as it would go (tried setting it about 26*, and via the drip timing method the least I could get the drips down to was ~4/sec, I think I need to advance the pump a tooth maybe, or replace the timing chain). Anyway, the car seems to idle a little smoother now and has less smoke (according to people watching me take off) and my mileage seems to have jumped a little bit, hopefully the days of 19-20 are over and I'm able to get it up to around 25 or so. We'll see what happens after my next fill up.

Unfortunately, it's not. The valley is humid man! From Bakerstown to Sacto on over to Salinas and them parts. Been working the last three and going right back for the next four weeks and I sure hope it settles down. Triple digies with high relative humidity SUXXORZ big time
Now outside the San Joaquin is a completely diff story and what most think of when considering the climate here. Either desert or mountains (and of course our world famous coastline) the weather typically behaves with keeping the moisture content looooooooow and comfy. ;-D
You're right about better working environment and more pliable materials. But who wants to wear a space suit to work on/in the car?
O ya almost forgot. WE NEED MOAR PICS! Vaca's over.

11-14-2013, 12:18 AM #195I need to win the lottery or something I think so I can continue work on this damn car, only things left on my list are turbo, intercooler, and pump (as far as performance mods go). So if anybody knows where I can get a T3/T4 ball bearing hybrid with .40 trim exhaust and .60 trim compressor that would be great, because I'm not having any luck finding one.

03-12-2014, 03:05 PM #197Okay I want an hx30 for this thing badly, seriously considering just ordering one of the Chinese ones from fleabay, so I'll be able to turn the pump up a little. Right now not enough fuel to turn up the pump :/

I turned my pump up abunch before I switched to the hx30. Save your money and buy one from alcaid, he can get genuine turbos for cheap. And you will always be second guessing your Chinese turbo that you still paid half as much for or more.
