thats the one I was originally going to get but its like $600 bucks for everything, Not sure if its worth it right now. I looked on ebay I can get remanufactured sanden compressors from a Mazda for $50 (i think their reman. but they might also just be used.)

I have wasted hours and hours on the same simple tasks until I got the right tool, and took a break, and then the whole process seemed magical and done in an hour or so.
Can you work on your car from a mental ward ? I doubt it, so you need to stick around to fix the ol'e girl.
haha, OM616 is right I need to take a break and call in for help. I cant do it alone.
Also as I went crazy today at work, I have decided I am going to buy a Sanden A/C compressor conversion kit for the car. Heard it was better and uses less HP.
There is a nice long post on PP exactly on this topic !

Yeah I realized that a few hours after i posted what you really meant.
I am taking a break from working on the car but I will say I will have the car tuned professionally by a friend the 23rd.
We will (or he will) turn my OM616 into what it should have really been in the first place and prove all those turbo 616 nay sayers.

its raining pretty bad today so I dunno if I can post a video.
It should be an easer sell now. That is if you still intend to get rid of it.
I got the back bumper all sorted out so it sits all nice, the car accelerates like a champ. I can pass big old trucks, ricer ass holes and soccer moms like there's no tommorow.
Got in a race with some nissan alitima dooooosh hole, beat his ass. (Sorta, he got stuck at a red light
)I want to put a little more boost, right now its not pushing anything more then 9psi (I should probably keep it there to keep the car running longer, but whatevsss)
My next project is to get stiffer shocks (Bilstein HD) and Either get lowering springs or cut the current springs I have (ill probably sand blast them and repaint them for rust projection)
I would like an opinion on the spring part though
Ill post some videos later today maybe
Also I want to repaint the driver side fender, the paint is starting to chip real bad ( might prep it myself and then take it to a shop)

Broken boots (is that what they're called?)
driver side Has one broken and the other in pretty bad shape, the passenger side had both broken. Can I get away with just replacing the boots or should I replace the axels?
Anyway, Ya'll anti WVO guys are gonna hate me, never mind the fact that the classic Mercedes guys want to hang me for adding a turbo to my 240 and running it on veggie
but I made a fresh batch of oil and the car still runs great, before it use to run so slow but with the pump putting out more fuel its like im still driving on diesel!

I think you can get cv half's for about $60 bucks a pop. I suggest replacing both. About a 3-4 hour operation !

You should be able to adjust the waste gate some more. Remember to loosen the nut then turn in the screw, think it was around a 2.5 mm allen. If boost does not go up more after more adjustment then more fuel would be needed. Based on your egt's I would be reluctant to go more fuel, if you want a reliable daily driver.
Horsepower is kind of additive is'nt it?
You can get boots that are split so they go on without takeing off the shaft. I did this on my old 300. Just repack with grease before putting them on. I think your old shafts are mostly likely still good. you will hear nasty noises if they are bad, I did not hear anything when you were here.

If it will take more advance would be worth a bump,.. that will increase bottom end torque and lower EGTs allowing for more fuel.
Then there is cam timing....

I would like an opinion on the spring part though
.....
Get 300d front springs and cut them. It will stiffen up your ride and install a 300td front swaybar. For the rears, get 300d rear springs or get stock progressive springs pn# 123 324 35 04.
Btw- I'll have a set of 300d springs, fronts cut already but you'll might need to cut them more if you want your car lower and progressives for sale.

(10-02-2012, 06:08 PM)ronnie You can get boots that are split so they go on without takeing off the shaft. I did this on my old 300. Just repack with grease before putting them on. I think your old shafts are mostly likely still good. you will hear nasty noises if they are bad, I did not hear anything when you were here.
You should be able to adjust the waste gate some more. Remember to loosen the nut then turn in the screw, think it was around a 2.5 mm allen. If boost does not go up more after more adjustment then more fuel would be needed. Based on your egt's I would be reluctant to go more fuel, if you want a reliable daily driver.
Horsepower is kind of additive is'nt it?
Are these the boots you are talking about?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-SUV-TRU...8f&vxp=mtr
Unfortunaley it has rained alot and I had to drive in the weather so the axels got wet and probably full of water. No noise yet.
Also I am going to ditch the guages and create a boost + egt gauge and maybe some other fancy doodas using an arduino micro controller. Ill probbly build it and code it along with one of my professors. Shouldnt be too hard. If All goes well I might be able to custom make them for you 617 guys.

(10-03-2012, 12:29 PM)w123love Zadatech has exactly that
I Know lots of companies make them already but by doing it myself and coding the arduino board I can make complete customizations add extra features whenever I want and plus it will be a fun project and good learning experience.
EDIT: sorry should have checked the site, They have most of the parts I need. mostly boost sensor. Might add outside air temp sensor too.

(10-03-2012, 04:49 PM)ronnie Yes this is the type of boot. See if they have one specific to our cars.
speedi-boot 03661 This is not the correct one but it works. Do Yoga before working on it.......
Woah, they're only 7 dollars on auto zone

They are the same on both ends of the axel right?

Fix the axle boots
Straight pipe the car
Winter mods, things I can do inside
Restuff the front seats
I will be using Nu-Foam and pool noodles and I will be installing these
http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-628-040-Uni...B002U6IL9O
gets real cold here on LI in the winter and heated seats would be great.
ill post pictures of the straight pipe and new boots and then Ill maybe make a tutorial on how I went about fixing the seats.

Ninth Year Anniversary with STD on 1-9-2020

Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
As for seats, your BEST bet is to add an extra spring. There is a slot already built in and 100% better than the fun noodle trick. Makes the seat just about perfect and it will last a lot longer and no weird bulges.

Yes I wouldnt mind making the arduino boards for forum members but I need to get the prototype down first, and start coding. Might take a while before I get to all that stuff.
I was thinking of incorporating
EGT, Boost, Outside Temp and RPM and for me I was thinking of converint my grease car copilot into the same arduino board so I will have a "command Center" so to speak of.
Will be some hard work, mostly the coding part. Im not that great of a coder :/

How tough is it to make something like a timer and a "thermostat". That is, running 2 electric solonoids which would turn on when the grease hit 120 F, a delay between the two tanks to reduce contamination. I know they sell kits and controllers already for this, but their price tags are silly. I used manual valves for years and it was OK, fool proof, but sometimes a pain in the butt.

So I have been having trouble selling the merc. (lack of interest)
I got a new car, a 2012 Golf TDI w/ 6 speed. Love the car
So in the meantime i think I will fix up the Mercedes a lil. First off is the vacuum issue.
I replaced the Diaphragm but I still have a weak vacuum. No oil leaks from the lines anymore.
I am thinking the check valves may have also gone on the pump.
In terms of cost effectiveness, what would be better?
rebuild the pump myself or buy a rebuilt one?
Time is not an issue anymore since I dont have plates for the car.
