-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )

I've never tested it, didn't have enough fuel to need to go over 18psi though. That's why it's just a rumor.
You should document the bending process though, or prove us all wrong

Any tips so I don't make obvious newbie mistakes in selection?
And for now I will likely go electric fan to allow for pipe routing. Go under the number and up a little. I'd go behind the grill but don't want to swap radiators just yet.

Yeah sprayer are in the plans for the setup ;-)
That guy is missing something though isn't he? He mentiones size but there is a specific internal design that is desirable isn't there? I read once about a style to avoid. Forget where I was looking though.

So this here car. Got all the glow plugs glowing. It starts in the cold, win. I took it to a shop to get the support bearing for drive shaft fixed, long over due. They fix it great but now that I actually have a bearing I can tell that the guy who did the 4,speed swap prior to me did not balance the shaft. Either that or the shop didn't put it back together right. I like the manager and we talked about lining shit up. I believe he knew what he was doing. But I get some vibration at 40+ haven't taken on the highway so can't fully describe yet. Probably need to take that out and get it balanced, maybe custom shaft?
Any who all that.
My heat blower motor has no power to it. The fuse is good. #8 when I play with the fuse I can hear clicking like a relay might be attempting stuff. I put power to fan and it goes. Also blows heat. Is that clicking the monovalve?
Is there a relay aside from the resistor thing u dear hood on the fender?
By the way. I'm am tired of winter. None of.my cars were breaking when it was warm.
And ya know, now that I've been here a while I feel sorta bad about asking questions about general maintenance so I will say sorry for that. But its cold and all my cars are giving me headaches. I've googled this shit and everyone talks about fuse 8 or motor brushes. Both are good. Wtf.
Oh and dammit I'm on my.second climate control unit could it be that again?! I need a simple fix fuuuuuuu

If that is not the case, than look into a faulty resistor pack or another dead CCU.

02-09-2014, 01:09 AM #169Simple stuff?... Check the cold engine blower motor lock temperature sensor located on the thermostat housing. If it is unplugged, your blower motor will not work. If plugged, then unplug it and ground the wiring to the block. Hopefully your blower will run.

I will likely get rid of the ccu like simple did or something similar. Maybe a switch for the monovalve and a switch to the blower motor. I got the ac going last summer but i think the compressor may have crapped out. Im just going for heat now :-)
Someday maybe a manual setup.

02-11-2014, 10:22 PM #172I ran a caveman HVAC system in my w123 in it's final days. Switch for the blower, and bypassed the monovalve with a piece of pipe. The vents were zip tied open and the outlets were used to regulate flow. Stuffed the under seat vents with paper towels. It burned up the "20A" switch pretty quick so use a relay

-Need to buy flexible section off turbo, also bracket that holds to manifold.
-Need to buy 240d auto trans mount (what i need for my 4 speed right?) the PO fabbed up a goofy mount. I am trying to get the shakes rattles and general noise that shouldn't be there gone. I feel my shifter move a little when i gas or let off.
-4 manual window cranks regulators and handles. (justpassinthrough i read about 15 each in a junkyard?)
Need to fix rusty floors still
Need tie rod and alignment
Need to swap on 126 calipers and rotors
Need to fix leaky exhaust
Need to get rid of hammer time noises (proper trans mount, maybe balancing drive shaft)
Need heat
Need to fix tach and gauge lights
Need emergency break
Need to install shutoff valve in key tumbler
Want intercooler
Want body work

On second thought...I think $60 is how much Greazzer sold a set of four for, a couple years ago. But I think I'll see first if I can sell the doors as they are, on local CL. These doors are in really nice shape --paint and interior vinyl are immaculate, even the armrests and door pockets. The door-closers are nearly new, front door mirrors are choice. It would be a shame to break them up for junkyard value.
Gone but not forgotten: two W123 sedans and two W124 wagons.
W124 1987 300TD wagon, for sale, $1000 (some assembly required).

1974 240D 617 turbo swap, W201 5-speed, in the works project

You need to put some moving blankets over the rust holes. In addition to the cold, the noise of it really wears on the driver. I put something like 10k on a 240 with no passenger floor in it, making 300+ mile runs at a time, and the drone would continue in my dreams and into the next morning as background noise.

Just had an alignment done and they were able to straighten the steering wheel amazingly. I didn't even have to admit it was my fault either, good stuff.

Related to your manual steering swap, remember how we both incorrectly clocked the steering wheel? mine was out nearly 90 degrees

05-01-2015, 07:00 AM #183Long time no see. Still alive and well. Done some small stuff. Drive shaft u joint was toast. Replacement long piece went in. I didn't balance but my rattle is gone. My car is apart now in prep to put an HX30. I am trying to reclock the exhaust side of the turbo but it's stuck right now. Have 4an line for that.

05-28-2015, 06:51 PM #186Well I did get the turbo clocked a few weeks back. Ended up using a pocket knife and hammer to wedge it apart. Intercooler came in the mail today. Now waiting for pipes and couplers.

Car is definitely a lot better with the intercooler. EGT doesn't get much over 1000 at extended full throttle, 25 psi boost. Before I couldn't go much more than 10 secs before getting up to the 1250 range. Boost comes in pretty quick too. No complaints with the HX30 yet. I've only got a few drives with it. I will need to tune a little and see if I even need that much boost.

06-15-2015, 09:16 AM #190Eventually, ill have to do the research and get the clutch chosen. Did you get yours in yet? My car is still driveable as is with current clutch so it will probably be on the back burner for a bit. Trying to buy a house right now. Wife will kill me if I spend any more ;-)

Stock modded pump, and my a/w and I have seen 1300 on real hard pull up a steep hill. That's at 18psi, sometime in the future is like to see how more boost effects egts. But I don't really think my a\w is as efficient as a good a/a setup. Mainly because of the lack of Surface area.
But my holset swap was worth it in my opinion for the sound. Man, it sings well

I burned up the motor doing that ;-) greazzer is hooking me up with another one.
I haven't looked at wiring diagrams yet but I should do something other than straight 12volt from the battery right? How'd you do yours simple? I'm removing the hvac control unit amd don't want to fry another one.
Im really getting the car to full simple status. Thinking of removing stock wiring harness all together to do it my way.

Unless you have a manual climate control ready to go leave the harness. Or just run a hi/low switch to the factory resistor block.

06-16-2015, 09:37 PM #194I did mine straight like yours, but the switch's shitty resistance slowed it down. Still burned it up though.
