Beater w116 project
Plans to come
Alda (obviously)
Fender pipe
Cut coils, probably 3 front 2 rear. I know that's a good deal
Upgraded turbo, probably hy35
Intercooler, yes I really will
Injectors, reasearch will determine which
Rack limiter
Welded diff
Delete: AC and powerstearing. Neither work so who cares
Maybe a cheap light bar just for fun

This is my w116 I bought a couple months ago for $500. 220k, mint interior,good brakes, GREAT running om617, and other the creacher comfort crap is basically broken. Just what I want! I plan to base my build off of dieselboys w116 and the captain's w123

I think the biggest problem with the no PS sourcing a manual box. But it sounds like a fun build.

. Like I said this is a fun beater. It won't be a daily so driveability is not important. Really only going to be driven for joining or when I'm working on my other cars.
Because of this I have done a bit of additional reading and have found a few people hacking up delivery valves to increase fuel flow. My question is how well does this work and how do you do it? Btw m pump is out of the budget.
Also I can't figure out how to post pics.

Maybe another forum member with more MW DV valve knowledge can chime in.
As far as pics, I upload to photobucket then resize and copy the url into the picture thingy. I'm not sure if there is a post requirement before pics or not.

I haven't heard of anyone cutting delivery valves and getting successful results yet. Theses DV don't have a collar on them like a P-pump from a cummins does. If you don't want to spend the $$ on a big plunger pump, turning up your stock pump will be the best bang for you buck. It'll net you about 150hp, maybe a tick more,Maybe less. My car dyno'd at 125 at the wheels with everything in my sig, so that's about 150hp considering driveline loss.

Considering people that build injection pumps for a living will tell you that a stock mw will only put out about 60cc full adjusted, 200hp is a laughable estimate. I've seen where people do the math, and 60cc is only enough fuel for 160-170hp at best. Something about the thread just doesn't seem right...

I am still hopeful for the 10mm MW, there's no such thing as an injection duration that is too short, the bigger the better! M-pumps are hard to find and having to send them overseas to get worked on is costly, even though I am a firm believer that it doesn't get much better than dieselmeken when it comes

Exactly, even if I could afford it I still wouldn't buy it being that the idea behind this project is the most performance possible with the least amount of cash. If I were to do an LSD it would be on my other project, but that's probably not going to happen unfortunately.

(03-02-2016, 09:21 PM)Dark Hawk Ah, it will be fine once I get it rolling, but ya parking lots won't be fun between the no PS and a welded diff

Also I can't figure out how to post pics.
I cut a spare set I had a few years ago. It was the best I could do I'm my garage, but I think it was fairly accurate.
That being said, don't do it. It wouldn't return to idle at all after that. Had to swap back in the stock ones. I think I've got a video somewhere of it in the car.
Here ya go.

How by it wouldn't return to idel do you mean that it would idel really high, hunt for rpm, or die without some throttle? Because that doesn't seem all THAT bad for a non daily.

You can see in the vid he posted that it takes about 45seconds to go from 3k down to idle lol, that would be bad.

Duh, I forgot it was a w116. I'm too use to the w123 body style I guessI'm thinking of painting the car a matte od green with metalic bronze wheels. You guys think that would look good?

I did a diesel purge a couple days ago and it made a big difference. I did one in the past in tandem with a valve adjustment and it made a HUGE difference but the valves were way out of tune so I didn't really know which was more effective form of of performance enhancing maintanence. I'll be doing a valve adjustment tonight to compare the two.

The biggest hinderence on the 0-60/quarter mile/ acceleration in general seems to be the transmission. It shifts perfectly smooth, just really slow. Anyone have ANY suggestions?
Also an exhaust and Alda will be coming shortly

Did the valve adjustment and I'm guessing the valves were adjusted by the previous owner because they really weren't too bad at all. I saw no real "gain" in power though idle seemed a super tiny bit better.

Also, have you turned up the line pressure on the trans? Helps to firm up the shifts. My is cranked up a lot, it almost bangs when it shifts. But whipplem said they are tough and like a lot of line pressure, so I gave it to it
