larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Simpler=Better
01-07-2013, 04:32 PM #30590% of the time it's a ground. The gauge grounds through the plug in the head right? then to the block, then ground strap, then chassis. Hot side ot harness, fuse box, gauge cluster. cluster grounds to dash support to chassis.

I think you are right. Driving it around in the dirt, over bumps the cluster was doing all kinda of wacky things. Lights were turning on and off... I duuno where to look though. Guess I'll check the cluster ground and thewn the hot side. The engine is grounded to the chassis in the factory location and also back to the battery in the trunk with 1/0 gauge welding wire, all soldered and crimped connections. Thanks for the ideas guys!

Got her on the road tonight!!!!
I really only got the bare minimum done to drive it, so no water plumbing yet for intercooler, no fans on the radiator (using A/C aux fan) and haven't played with the pump yet...
Surprisingly it runs strong and isn't really slow at all. She gets up and goes. Don't know what boost is, or oil pressure, or coolant temp, or mph.... lol, I only have RPM at the moment!
Feel free to follow me on Instagram for the latest pics. Captain___America (That's 3 underscores)
On first test, the trans stalled up to 2k rpm, but again I dunno what kind of boost I'm building there. Driving around it feels like the torque converter locks at 2500rpm

01-21-2013, 12:15 PM #312I should have re torqued the clamps after a few heat cycles, all of them were only snug... a flare would help like the stock lines have the little bubble at the end. Had to cut 2 lines down to size so lost the flare at the end.

01-23-2013, 12:49 AM #313Got the turbo to Performance Techniques today. Wont know till its apart but as long as the turbine shaft isnt damaged, James said hes got extra compressor wheels and center housings if needed that he'd give me for no charge. Pretty awesome if you ask me! Going to inquire about a ball bearing upgrade though.

Got the turbo back, 325$ later, lol. Everything is new...
Then I looked for a new fuel tank sending unit. @ 200$, I decided to just take it apart and clean it... Here it is soaking in mineral spirits. Worked good to clean it off
Bought a turbo blanket, first thing that happened when snugging it up was one of the rivets broke. So had to re-rivet the hook on..
THEN I went to the King of the Hammers race
Oh man... there are trucks there worth over $250k and the Mercedes got the most attention lol. I got thumbs up, fuck yeahs, and right ons everywhere I went. ppl were amazed.
First I aired down to 20 PSI and it felt like I was driving a boat haha

Couple nights ago I decided to time the IP..
It was at 22°?
Now she is 27ish Runs fuggin awesome!
Still need to play with IP fuel and plumb the intercooler... Pretty happy now though
Heres a IP drip timing video

Got the turbo back, 325$ later, lol. Everything is new...
Then I looked for a new fuel tank sending unit. @ 200$, I decided to just take it apart and clean it... Here it is soaking in mineral spirits. Worked good to clean it off
Bought a turbo blanket, first thing that happened when snugging it up was one of the rivets broke. So had to re-rivet the hook on..
THEN I went to the King of the Hammers race
Oh man... there are trucks there worth over $250k and the Mercedes got the most attention lol. I got thumbs up, fuck yeahs, and right ons everywhere I went. ppl were amazed.
First I aired down to 20 PSI and it felt like I was driving a boat haha
Made it up a hill that a lot of 4x4s have trouble with...
Spectators...
I was out playin in the sand dunes and a bunch of people stopped me because they wanted pictures and video haha
My buddy loves my car. He bought a '82 300D non turbo (ouch haha)
She cleans up kinda nice!
Couple nights ago I decided to time the IP..
It was at 22°?
Now she is 27ish Runs fuggin awesome!
Still need to play with IP fuel and plumb the intercooler... Pretty happy now though
Heres a IP drip timing video

Yes the top of the radiator will be vented to the stock expansion tank, in the same way the stock radiator is.
Open system: Has the radiator cap on the radiator
Closed system: Cap is on an expansion tank
They use a closed system when the radiator is not at the highest point. The fill point must be highest in the system. So in older cars where the top of the radiator is the highest, that is where the cap is and is an open system.
In newer cars they sit the radiator down in the chassis and use an "expansion tank" at the highest point and the cap goes there. Closed system
Both types of systems work great from what I've experienced.
I got the radiator from the place I use to work. Pro Comp Electronics (Made in china) and its a standard chevy radiator measuring 19" tall X 27" wide overall
Got my fan shroud started
3000 series .050" thick sheet aluminum, sheared and bent on a harbor freight press brake lol. Turned out bitchin

Just need to mount the shroud to the radiator and cut a 16" hole in it

I'm not gonna make the drip hole bigger tho
So you drilled them with a carbide bit then reamed them to the correct size with a carbide reamer?

The '85 chambers has close to the same as the reamed chambers Simpler=better used while mine were much smaller. I used heat shields supplied by Mercedes Source.

He may still melt the PC tips-there's significantly less material, and Merc reduced the hole size to make for a smoother burning quieter engine. But we will never know until one way when something goes bang
So, uh where's the video huh!?!??!!

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Simpler=Better
02-17-2014, 11:49 AM #346A reamer is only good for taking off a small amount of material, and runs at a low RPM. So to get the XXL holes, it took multiple steps. IIRC it was 1/8" on everything, then .156" on the front 3. The burn tubes were roughed with a 1/2" but and then a 9/16" reamer, IIRC. I forget the details, but they're all the same across 5 chambers which is what matters.
