Hey man, Great vid, Just bought a w124 wagon but didn't realise it had sls at the rear, what's the cheapest way to drop it a couple of inches as air ride just isn't within budget unfortunately.. Thanks in advance 👍🏼
@@chriskoeck1241 lowering springs h&r if you wanna remove the sls use the shocks from the challenger or charger I can't member now I did mention it in the video tho
Do you know where to find the 19mm bolt on a straight 6, W124 (1988 300 E)? Assuming all the other steps are the same.
@@Equalizer01 for what I'm sorry
@@thebenzhouse Sorry my mistake.. It was told to me that the type of engine is called a line 6, all of the plugs are on 1 side.. I just took another look and discovered it's the same. I also found the 19mm bolt! I just have to figure out how to get to it. Thanks
@@Equalizer01 ah ok is it a really long bolt if so it's for the tensioner
@@thebenzhouse No it's in the same place as the one in your video.
That's real bad
What transmission did you use?
You know I couldn't tell ya I didn't do the swap
Is that an m116 V8 car?
If it's a 3.5 I need those heads if you aren't using, lol? Real question, have an early iron m117 4.5 that I need the compression bump for an r107
you put spacers on the back wheels?
Nope no spacers
I can patch up that left front tire if you need!!!
That’s a nice ride. What year is it?
A true OG
You can tell that pump has been replaced once already by the fact that it has 3 13mm bolts instead of the 6mm Allen bolts from the factory. Most techs would replace the bolts with the 13mm cause the Allen is a odd socket to have and you can easily strip the bolt.
Where did you put the vacum Line to the fuel regulator?
After I install the trigger wheel, will it be still on top dead center 84°? I’m trying to configure on MS 3X thank you.
@@rafaelestrada-gl2sh if you have the same trigger wheel I use then yes because it's a fixed position on the crank with the dowel coming out to make sure it fits on the trigger wheel and it's mark is at 84' at tdc
@@thebenzhouse I used turbo bandit 60-2 wheel
@@rafaelestrada-gl2sh absolutely then yes as long as you installed it in the right direction put the settings at 84' and you'll be good 😉
@@thebenzhouse thank you so much man you are awesome. God bless you.🙏🏽
@@rafaelestrada-gl2sh your most very welcome good luck with your build man glad to see more people doing these 😉
Absolutely love it
Agreed
On the oil return line from the turbo, what's stopping you from simply drilling and tapping the oil fill cap on the valve cover and dumping return oil there? I don't think anything there would be upset with the extra feed and it would go back to the pan without any worry about cavitation and sloshing, as well as the shavings. And it would be 100% reversible with a $10 cap. I definitely haven't tried this, just thinking out loud.
S124 😝😽
How much this cost ? I wanna do this on my 300ce
They don't make a kit for the ce you'll have to make a custom kit I know a guy on IG made a kit similar to this its aggressive I really like it
Thank you so much for this detailed guide!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Tseringzzz your most very welcome I'll try and remaster it a little later it was one of my 1st videos
wow very rare coupe !!
nice build , can you comment about how handle the cylinder headgasket and the studs , and how much pressure it is charging?
@@matiasrivas8251 all I did was the efi I didn't do the engine swap these motors can handle about 1.5bar of boost without any probs normally on a healthy motor again that's on a healthy motor if you want to play it safe I would say 8lbs of boost is more than enough and will be fine if you wanted to add arp bolts and a new gasket make sure it's all good there you can most definitely push more it all just depends
Hello, Thank you - I have a 1988, with about 200K Miles on her. I bought her new in '88. For the past few years she has been sitting, last year I replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump BUT I did not replace the accumulator. Under the hood, new plugs, just about all of the sensors, etc., hosing, distributor cap, relays, etc etc. It STILL takes up to 2-3 minutes to start when it is cold and basically will not start when it is warm.You solution may be my answer. If you have any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Again I thank you for your work. John
@@drjohnespy it sounds like you replaced just about everything after you do get it running run some seafoam through the tank it will help clean it out some
@@thebenzhouse Thank you for your kind response. I will pick a couple of cans up tomorrow! Again, "Thank you!"
@@drjohnespy always man if you ever need any help let me know I'm more than happy to help if I can have a good one and good luck with your car
Hello I bought a m103 that had an automatic and I have a 5 speed gearbox from om603, do I have to look for a flywheel from 2.6 manual to do EFI conversion
No you do not because your not going to be using the trigger teeth on it soxit will be perfectly fine
@@thebenzhouse yes it makes sense hahahaha. Thank you very much for your reply. is there another option for the O2 sensor or is it just the one from your earlier clip that you show?
@@piskota2488 your most very welcome and the one I posted is the easiest one you could use from what I learned
@@thebenzhouse im about to order ecu can you link yours that you used because i live in Balkans and everything is harder to find because of shipping and customs Edit: I cant find your instagram
Нужно с с белого нужно поставить на ваш диски😅
Hey man dat was an awesome video. Thank you. Did u have to loosen the oil dip stick ?
Normally it's an 8mm Alan key for the visco-fan.
What’s type of paint ?
It's a brand called monstaliner I highly recommend it
@@thebenzhouse I’m going to look into it for my Ml500 ! Thanks 🙏
@@thelongranger55 yea we want to get another one we miss it
Hermoso auto
I´m thinking to swap this m103 engine to my coupe w114. Gracias
Do it best swap ever that's for sure
hey what's the name of thoses wheels ?
Alzor wheels
US spec 🤮
I just recently bought 1991 2.6 owner said ac control , blower motor, original radio dont work and the sunroof is will try to fix this beautiful car i found your video very informative thanks.
Nice man I'm glad they can help out and congrats on your new car
Can you reuse the stock idle control valve?
I didn't use it on this but yes you can just gotta gather information to be able to use it is all
Stupid Q.. Is the trigger wheel necessary? Is it possible to use the trigger from the stock oem crank/cam sensor?
That's not a stupid question at all the 60-2 trigger wheel is the most generic trigger pattern for just about every stand alone ECU made so it's easy to use without doing a bunch of other work the OEM crank trigger 3tooth setup I don't think is compatible with the ECU and if I'm being 100% honest with you I've never tried it the stock sensor would most likely work if you cut the end and figure out if it's a 2 wire or a 3wire sensor
Hey the holes on the new tps sensor don’t line up with the existing holes. Any idea why?
It's not meant for Mercedes TB it's from a bmw you can make an adapter if you really want to this is more of a diy with normal tools most people have laying around. I was just trying to show it can be done.
@@thebenzhousedoes it need to hold a tight seal on the throttle body or just clip onto the rod? I already shaved off the metal to mount the bmw sensor.
@@leocrisafulli1882 it just slides on the rod there is no seal or air that goes to it
@@leocrisafulli1882 you are more than welcome to msg me on IG as well I can respond faster ECT 😉
Any tips on sourcing the throttle body spacer?
We made ours if you don't have the tools I would say I think the kangaroos team makes them but I could be wrong ......
Is the process the same for 4matics?
Yepp pretty much the same thing 😉
Dude clean af
Dude talk about a hack a 1970 front shock from a dodge fits perfect for the rear of the wagon I'm so glad you posted that
Beautiful,Thank you mate!
Hope it helps my good man 😉
Tar cobba! Beautiful!
Hey brother how much boost can the rubber underside of the Kejet flap housing hold until it splits? 😂 Also are the idle air intake valve rubber pipes going to be okay? I just got my M103 boosting 1 bar on a little turbo. Just want to be sure. Cheers
Ok so keep it under about 6-8lbs you won't have any issues with the rubber under the flap and for the IAC add a hose clamp to it and you should be fine you don't need to go crazy when tightening it because it's barbed
@@thebenzhouse Cheers ! 👍
Any updates on this?
Yes unfortunately I get customers cars done before my own so it was pushed back some but I will be doing videos of this for my own personal build here in the next few months
Nice work! One thing im not sure about is when replacing the front struts with adjustable top camber adjustment, do you still use the stock strut top mounts? I cant see how it would work.
No you completely replace it with the adjustable one just the 3 bolts and it's out new one in and call it a day
😍 location ofvthe junkyard plz
Unfortunately it's gone now it's not there anymore
Great video, love the 70 Charger hack!!!!
