Hmm, and sudenly bye bye 5 speed transmission Wink

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Ksteen2 - 04-23-2013

I've changed the 5 speed, to another 5 Speed tranny, soon it will be a BMW ZF tranny, and Audi S4 diff and drive shaft's.
and harder clutch and some other changes ;p
Someone know how a Garrett TA51 work's? it's a AR 1.15 exhaust housing.

Looks good!
But is It good to run your Oil supply house like that?
I am always told to minimize the down force on your Oil Supply .
Sorry my English is not that good,

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Ksteen2 - 04-26-2013

It has not been a problem since I mounted it,
no leakaged or anything Wink

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - upsie - 04-26-2013

Alright then

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - raysorenson - 04-26-2013

A diff from which Audi S4? The only O.E. LSD that I know of came in the B8 chassis sport diff and that's electronic. The aftermarket LSD stuff for teh Audi's is P-car expensive.

What kind of gear ratio will you end up with?

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Ksteen2 - 04-29-2013

It's from a 1994 Audi S4 2,2TQ with vacum diff, and it's not an LSD, it's with gears grabbing and making it a 100% diff lock when you wan't it to, I dont know gear ratio, but I really don't care anyway :p

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - HaavardPYA - 04-29-2013

How do you control vacuum to the diff? On/off switch or engaging when you spin?

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Ksteen2 - 04-29-2013

I will use a magnetic solonoid, with an on/off
Switch Wink
And today, my w123 300d diff just Said god night ;p

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Simpler=Better - 05-30-2013

Glad to hear it Smile Good thing you're waiting, it's better to drive than have the car constantly down for repairs

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - HaavardPYA - 05-30-2013

Looking forward to it!

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Ksteen2 - 06-03-2013

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Ksteen2 - 06-19-2013

Hi guy's..
what's the american bolt pattern on mercs??
5x112mm but what is it in inch?
5-3/4?
I want new rims :p

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - gaiex - 08-26-2013

Hi, good to see another good project Wink

Do you have any pictures of the engine with the engine mounts?
You saied that you drilled new holes but where specificaly?

I'm asking this because I'm doing an OM606 install in a w115, and for now the only problem is the engine mounts of the W124 wont align, and I'm thinking to fabricate the engine mounts!

5x4.5 is the closest thing to 5x112.
But 5x4.5 is actually like 5x114.7
Some people say you can use "wobble" bolts and make them work

I ran 5x4.5 mustang rims on my 300d and I'm still alive. Towing heavy loads, driving spiritedly, etc. The bolt holes were big enough to make up for it. I just had to go in a circle tightening the lugs down, so that the wheel was centered properly. Had to use tapered-seat bolts instead of the stock ball-seat bolts.

If you're paranoid wobble bolts would probably be safer.

2.7mm diameter= roughly 1.3mm offset on any one bolt. That's really small.

I used that in the first place, but I made another engine mounts now.
original W124 with couchen on the right side of the enine, just used the big hole in the frame, and made another of steel on the other side Wink
but i will soon make a sett of spesial once, so i can get the engine longer back Wink

RE: Ksteen's W123 daily driver - Ksteen2 - 04-05-2014

order a pump from Matti herlevi on 260cc and 7000rpm..
and got the hang of a rear axle of a S380 v8, so it will be a v8 rear axle and I hope to get about 600hp and 1000nm att the rear wheels.
I hope to pas that nmbr!
