Full Load Limiter Removal Procedure
An exhaust temperature gauge (pyrometer) is necessary for reliable long-term operation of the engine after this modification. Do not exceed 1250°F in continuous operation or 1400°F in short bursts (under 5 seconds). Do not use any kind of sealer on any of the gaskets.
1: Remove the oil-filter housing. This is optional, with a long screwdriver its very possible to adjust everything with the housing in place.
2: Remove the pump back plate including shut off actuator and rack damper.
3: Disconnect the vacuum device linkage and tubes. Remove the top lid screws, turn the top lid (or remove both the ALDA and top plate for best access).
4: Remove the limiter's screws and nuts.

5: Push the limiter from the adjusting screw into the inside of the pump.
6: The hardest part is "digging" the limiter out of the bottom of the pump. A pen magnet is strongly suggested for this step. It can only exit through the thin slot on the top of the pump. You have two options- You can turn (rotate) the parts around inside the pump or you can punch out the guide pin the limiter used to slide on. The pin is no longer needed.
7: Once the limiter is out replace everything back in reverse order minus the limiter. Remember to use a new oil filter housing gasket and get the filter housing and block mating surfaces surgically clean. Be careful not to drop any gasket leftovers into an oil channel. If you get an oscillating idle this is a good place to replace the Rack Damper bolt with upgrade unit (upgraded one is gold anodized, the old silver in color) in the back plate of IP.
When you are done, you should have 5 or 6 parts left over (depending on the removal method you chose). DO NOT DISCARD THESE PARTS in case you decide to revert the operation at a later date.

06-26-2011, 02:02 PM #2You need to take the back cover off the IP and rotate the top cover (or remove) so you can get into the top of it also. Then you just loosen the the nuts (9mm, 13mm, 19mm?) and push the limiter inside of the pump and dig out with a pen magnet.

You read the Bosch manual for the pump. I can't link to it because it's copyrighted and pirated, but it tells you everything you need to know.

This is news to me, I realized more topend. But it was NOT worth the effort. You want power turn the valve holders, adjust the torque limiter, and raise max RPM. Your engine will explode but its shits n grins till it does.

(07-01-2011, 07:15 PM)300D50 Yeah, there's one sure-fire way to mitigate it.

^^^^^^ X2 LOL
Removal of the Rack Limiter, (a very important part), in an effort to increase useable performance is counter productive.
The reason that many have said that after they adjusted the Rack limiter they didn't see much of a increase, (so they then removed it only to find it is not much better), is because there is another adjustment that needs to be made along with the Rack Limiter (Full Load), in order for the Rack Limiter adjustment to be utilized.
Bosch set the Governor up so it only wants to move the rack as far as the stock Rack Limiter setting, (Hint, its the first thing that they want you to set), so increasing the amount the Rack can travel does nothing if the Governor doesn't push the rack farther to the new stop location. Depending you who set your governor up at the factory, (everyone does it a little different as there is a tolerance for each setting), a Rack Limiter adjustment will respond differently, some good, some not much of a change.
With the proper adjustments made, it really only takes a relatively small Rack Limiter adjustment to get a good performance increase across a wider RPM range, while allowing you to control the Max EGTs, making the adjustment a positive as the car will be drivable and you can utilize the performance.
I have generated a 11 or 13 page doc, (can't remember which), where I describe what all is going on in the governor housing, and what affect the different adjustments have on each other and the drivability of the car. I even cover "Turning the Delivery Valve Holders". (Hint, its a no no)
300D50 asked me to add a couple more things to the doc, plus, we need some pics of the RW in and out to label. I am really busy, and I often chose to relax on my off time or try to get personal things done. If you want to help speed things up, help us out and post some pictures.

So where is the Rack Limiter adjustment?
Where is the Full Load Adjustment?
How does one affect the other?
Seems like I am wasting my time when others have the knowledge but sit back and let someone else do the work.
Everyone who knows how to make proper governor adjustments should identify themselves and contribute.

No need to kiss my A$$. Its a pet peeve of mine when someone, who, by their own admission, is not knowledgeable on a subject spouts off, "well duah, everyone knows that", Really??? Your kidding right??
I am more that willing to answer educated questions, but when people; instead of doing the work studding the manuals and on-line Bosch materials in order to be able to ask an educated question, just hold out their hands and say thanks for doing all the work, now give it to me, I get upset. "I'll take everything you are willing to give me"
Please to all that are "waiting like piranhas or hungry dogs" for information of any sort, for the sake of my faith in humanity, give something back to the forum. I'm not talking about just posting some pictures of your car, or what you are doing to it, I mean really contribute something that takes some work. Provide some information that others can really use and might not have access to. There, I'm done venting.
I think a beta version of the doc will be posted soon. I just read an edited version.

If you don't want to post or don't have the time to then don't tell people that you know exactly what to do!!!! And get them excited, then them 'em hanging
I was under the impression that he just needed to gather info that he already had, and just needed to post it. I didn't know he was writing a book. I didn't know so much work was involved!!! I don't want anything for free and I WILL NOT KISS ASS FOR IT.

Just so it's known, I generated "the book" several months ago and the moderators were sitting on it.

It's like saying that every gun barrel, ammo choice, windage situation, distance situation, and person can use the EXACT same scope/sight settings.
Indeed, bosch doesn't give you a step-by-step for adjusting either, their own training material (can't post a link, but it's out there) just says to dial it in on the bench, till it meets the test plan, keeping in mind what each adjustment does.

I am sure that anyone here is willing to do work to get answers but if they were already had, then what could have been done to help?
I thought I should clear something up.
My frustration has nothing to do with butt munch, but rather, from my perspective, a lack of understating and value of what it took to be able to generate the doc. I am from the school where you earn what you get, and that things of value are exchanged for things of value. I have had members offer me information from out of know where, some information I have already, and some that is new, and I really appreciated the offer, as I understand what it took to gather what they gave me, because I have done it to gather the what I currently had.
I have noticed that there seems to be a thinking that if one has information, that they are obligated to share it, or that the forum has a right to it,... redistribution of information comes to mind.
Now, I'm sure everyone will be excited by now, saying, but if you would tell me where to go, I'll do the work, and that is the point, everyone has the same search engines that I do, but it is the time in research that I spent, that is not valued in that case. Now don't get me wrong, I don’t want people to kiss my ass and build a monument or anything, it just rubs me the wrong way.
Maybe it's because there are so many big fish in a small pond, (no offence to STD), but I just don't feel like I fit here, and the friction backs that up.
I feel like I fit better on the other forum, so I will stay over there.
The doc, when combined with the MB 300DT engine service manual has way more information than what I had to start with. A person will learn a lot more from doing it themselves as apposed to having it done for them.

(07-06-2011, 02:41 PM)smoke026 We are not merely remotely close to anything really "RACE" related on this or any other W123 sites, so why are people so PISSY? I mean, fuck! 15-18 sec 1/4 mile runs are still SLOW. The w123 cars will never be fast enough to get into pissing matches about. This is beginning to remind me of the DUCKS in high school who would fight over their Cold Air Intake Kits and their 5 ft spoilers till some one pulled up in a 400HP car.
This is not a High End Custom Underground "earn your stripes" vintage Mclaren F1 forum. ITS JUST W123's!! YES, THE CARS WE BOUGHT FROM GRANDMA ACROSS THE STREET!! 8)
All of these W123 forums are full of arrogant caulky OM617 Experts who hold the key and holy grail secretes to making 50 more HP..WOW! Congratulations, your cars are almost as fast as my Dixie chopper lawn mower.
AMEN!
Is there some sorta secret highly competitive Mercedes diesel racing orginization out there where people are trying to figure out out to get 5more HP OVER the other guy???
No body is racing this things, and theres no competitve racing circut out there for these cars...
Just some people who are(for some reason) attractred to(trying) to modify these slow old heavy cars, and want to have fun doing it.
If somone has a problem giving information then dont give it.
Most of the people on this site are here to LEARN HOW TO tune up these cars..MOST(some?) of us DO NOT have much of/if any a clue how to go about doing it.
And when somthing is found on how to increase the performance a little bit, most of us are very eager and willing to try it on our own cars asap.

07-06-2011, 04:10 PM #34CIDvicious had some pretty good rants about the same thing - if you really wanna go fast just swap a v8 in there. To me, that's giving up. Honestly for 3000-4000 bucks you can get yourself a myna pump, kkd manifold, bigass turbo and an intercooler, and have a pretty damn fast Mercedes diesel. The fun part about this site is the every man mods that can be done cheap and in the driveway, while we drool over the people who put the money, time, and money into their cars like jeemu, Rudolph, ect.

Cheers, and again, no hard feelings.. I will stay away for a while..
I have taken all of my previous post down because I feel that my sarcasm was too harsh..My bad to all that it may have offended. For the record, I have not personally requested any pump info on this site. Thanks for posting the follow up pics though as it may help any who may choose to tinker with theirs. I will not be touching my pump. Just not worth it.

Like I said before, i'm stressed and was in a bad mood when a lot of this happened, not that it's an excuse for any of it.
I think the big issue is text doesn't, and never will, transmit sarcasm, inflection, or tone very well.
There's no need to stay away Smoke, I think we all realize there was a big communication gap scenario going on between all of us, and we worked it out.
