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?
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!
Good luck

^^^ Hear hear!
Good luck man, I'm really looking forward to how this turns out
Had hoped to get the car running with old IP but new turbo and head today. Ran into a slight snag with the turbo, apparently not all HX30W are created equal. The new one is a twin scroll and has a bigger exhaust housing and the wastegate arm sits out further. I should have that fixed tomorrow before turkey time. I have about 22 or so pics I took that I will post with some details later. For now you can see them here. https://picasaweb.google.com/11018479126...directlink
Sadly its not nearly as many as I thought I had taken....
Looking good! Did you find any issues with the old head or gasket? Mine has been eating coolant and I'm concerned I may have some damage from the water on the bottom end when I remove the head.
Also, please take lots of photos of your oils line for your New turbo please!
After turning the engine by hand a million times, I turned her over till the battery died (building up oil pressure). Charging now until turkey time is over.

Mine has been eating coolant and I'm concerned I may have some damage from the water on the bottom end when I remove the head.The head gasket had eaten away where the water jackets come up in one place and the others were fairly corroded. Looks like there was some gas passing between #1 and #2 as well even though the hg rings were shiny.

Mmm...I've been removing my coolant cap after see drive. Otherwise the pressure pushes back into the cylinder(s) with coolant. If I don't de-pressurize, my car engine eats coolant very quickly.
I know you may have mentioned this in another post but I don't remember: what are you plans for your transmission? Is it gonna hold up to the power?
I was gonna have Jonathan at Blue Ridge Mercedes rebuild my auto box once I do my pump upgrade.
Thanks for keeping is posted! Keep up the good work.
Coolant is going into oil? Trans is a 190d (number escapes me right now) 5spd, gonna take it easy till I can find a 16v or 6 speed.
No coolant or oil mixing, but while running the cylinder pressure leaks and over pressurized and overheats cooling system.
Sadly, I dont think I have enough time to get the pump mounted this weekend. I am also nervous about the 606 hg and want to run it for a few weeks at normal paces. Tomorrow I am going to put her back together for the shake down run.

Today I have to replace the #4 injector line and I have all the bits and pieces for the line holders.
Since I have to take the intake off.... Might as well do the IP!!!! EGT sensor be damned.

Do it!!
If you blow it up it just means its OM606 time
Finally! Since I plan to go this route eventually with similar output, I'm super interested.
Do you still have the basket behind the vac pump? I left mine in. One less tool to lose.
Intercooling or instrumentation?
Clutch?

Take some video for the rest of us!
Needs some sorting, idle needs improvement and too much smoke at idle. But great googly moogly when the turbo kicks in the only thing keeping the car on the ground is 12" tires.
Pretty sure these items are fixable, vids to come when things are sorted.

After checking the timing 4x and even adjusting timing while idling, I finally decided to turn down the ALDA a turn and the smoke is gone. I think the poor compression is to blame. Also my tach has been non op and as a result the ELR which isnt helping. I started debugging the tach and found that its not generating any voltage at idle or revved. Sadly I swapped the OVP in the process and the old one is non op as well now. Going to see if it just needs a reflow later tonight. In the mean time, no turn signals.

Electrical is always fun
We don't care if it lopes or smokes, it's the first fitment. We just want to see it run!

How much boost?
At what rpm does it make say, .7 bar and then full boost?
Is your clutch holding up?
Do you have a stock ALDA or one of Meken's units?
Is it louder?
Sorry for all the questions. This is the parsed down version =)
In case anyone has been wondering, I have been too far under the weather to do any work. Monday night I was up till 2 am, working through the ELR issue only to find out I was testing the wrong things! OVP is fine (now I have a spare) as is tach sensor(ditto). I even think at this point ELR must be working, when I plugged the tach sensor in the car revs. So maybe all along its just the tach itself. Complete failures on my end. Tomorrow I will put it back together and try the timing one more time. Shopped around for a new engine (need to call and get the compression).
I might be pulling my om603 soon it's an 87 300SDL has 212k miles. I have no idea on compression yet. It has a cracked #14 head. It's not mixing any fluids yet it's just pressurizing the cooling system it Runs good! I need to save all of the motor mounts and the injection pump and oil filter housing and accessories. For my om606 swap!
So timing is good. Verified by adjusting timing with car running. Found that with #1 and #3 lines that my smoke issues are almost nil. Now, I did have these injectors serviced about a year ago, so I assume they are OK. I have swapped #1 and #4 to see if it follows. IIRC, I have already been through this dance with #1.... Time to start looking for a new engine I think.
In america, when we feel down, we go shopping. So while I wait for a good opportunity to pop the pistons out and give the walls a fresh scrubber.....
Why yes I think it will fit!

Oh hell no. I've got too much stuff at the house without a(nother) parts car in the mix. I've even got the same trans you do sitting on a shelf in the garage. I was thinking engine donor for you.
I bought this set of momo rims for $60 for all 4 with toyo proxes on them, PO had taken a pressure washer to them ant the paint peeled off. 17"x8.5 iirc. 20 bux in rattle can paint and sandpaper later... (one of the wheels was still drying)
