Jesse's hy35 powered w116
I started too but I only did 1/2 a coil so far.
New pics! I haven't driven it in a week its just been sitting at work but my turbo seized in my work truck this morning so i had to drive her home and of course wash her.

I touched up the intercooler about 20 min after the pics lol.
Looking Good! The side pic, with the barn in the background... I thought it was a Sprint style roof spoiler when I first saw it! Had to take a second look...
well got some stuff done today.
Drilled and tapped non egr exhaust manifold for pyrometer
Pyro location
Drilled and tapped the front side for a exhaust back pressure gauge
I then took my w115 intake manifold and proceeded to "murder" it as my friend said lol.
I had to do this because the turbo clearance it insainly tight less than 1/8" lol
That looks quite nice.
Looks good. Where are you pulling trans temp from?
There is a plug on the tail housing that i drilled out and tapped to 1/8"
Lol I noticed that it would lag on the 1-2 shift when I thought it was hot. Well now I know it does.
That's fluid temp housing temp? The transfer case would get so hot in my buddies H1 Hummer that it would boil off water that was sprayed on it... It didn't like doing 90mph!
And whats your impression on the 115 intake? Better? More efficient?
It's in the tail housing I'll look at my old one and see what the port does I put it in. Iirc it's the pressure test port for the tailshaft pump.
As for the w115 intake its hard to say right now. My buttdyno says it gas a little more mid and top end compared to the modified stock one I was running.
BAD ASS! Love the intercooler setup. Where did you come up on the tubes? Did you have them bent or picked up pre-bent sections?

It has a dimmer when the lights are on. You can also select like 5 different colors.
I have a three in one glowshift on my W123, except mine has the tinted backround, i love it
They fit nicely in the center vents on a w123.
Happy Birthday dude.
^ thanks man.
Auto x action!!
Friend has a video I'll get it soon.
That's an awesome pic!
Video needed.
Several coming soon. Making the 550mi drive home now.
I need a 2.47 diff. I've been spinning 3800rpm for the last 3 hrs lol.

Well car did great. The last 2 months it has made 2 decen sized road trips. 1 was 800 miles round trip. This one ended up being 1300miles roundtrip and I participated and was competitive in a autocross. (to bad my times didn't count because mine were considered "chairity runs"
But still this trip home just now (I just laid down in bed lol) 550miles home was traveled at average of 75mph with about 2 or more hours at 85. At 85 I'm right around 4000rpm. Poor car lol. I averaged ~27-28mpg.
So to sum things up I've got ~ 10k on this thing since the hy35 has been put on. And it's still working great.
1st run on the course 1st time autocrossing the Mercedes 2nd autocross ever. 2nd run was better.
more pics

Nice pics. Video was funny with the laughing in the background. Why did you stop on the course?

That was my first run. I almost ran that cone over. There is a video of the second run that all of the above pics are from.
I'm auto crossing for the first time on the 28th. So pumped.
Well I tried some other rims and tires but I didn't like them. Im staying with my chrome ones.
I got a 160mph dash and STD gauges. Repainted the needles and corrected the odo for my car and added a redline to the tach. I'll be redoing the tach and I don't really like the way it came out. I needed to keep the recline the same width all the way through.
I tucked the rear bumper so I didn't have a park bench anymore.
Installed a 2.65:1 diff out of a 79 450sel w116 i got from the junkyard tonight.. freaking love it.
car will cruise at 80mph now. All i had to do was swap out the input yoke on the diff to accept the smaller joint. My tach burnt out so im in need of one of those.
with the 3.07 diff the car would top out at 124mph @ 5500 rpm now it should do around 140mph.
It also is the larger diff and its now open again. Ill prob put the welded diff into the 240d
Glad you got the diff in! That autocross video is great!! Haha!
Put my new upper control arms in today. Drives much better.
Headed to cars and coffee irvine. 80mph is now 3100rpm with the new diff. Perfect.
Nice! I swapped the 2.65 into the Pumpkin for last years trip to Bonneville, much easier on the car for the long road trip.

My car likes to be between 3000-3500 cruising. With te 307 diff I was spinning near 4k at 80mph
I'm now 3100@ 80. I love it.
2400 is stock torque peak, which is where a stock engine would like to cruise.
