The info posted above is correct. The 722.3 can be built to withstand a serious amount of power... it survived behind not only the M12 V12, but also the 6.0-6.5L M119 monsters from AMG, RENNtech, and Brabus, and also the 7.4L M120 V12 beasts. And some supercharged versions too. All have well over 40...

Thank you!! That is exactly what I needed to know. Your description was excellent, and your English is perfect! Thanks again!

Anyone? Bueller...? Bueller...? I've never been able to get a definite answer to this question, but I believe the cam must be removed, the the element comes out the bottom. Sure would be nice to see a DIY writeup.

I posted a number of the videos to my website here:

YIKES!

Also, the 603.971 USA engine has an EGR port. If you don't want one, you need to obtain a Euro-spec 603.9xx manifold instead...

Everything is now sold - thanks for your interest!

UPDATE: Kit #1 - SOLD Kit #2 - SOLD Kit #3 - SOLD Kit #4 - SOLD Kit #5 - I do have one last set of 334mm Brembo calipers for sale... front calipers only, with good brake pads. No rear calipers, no rotors. Photos below: http://www.w124performance.com/misc/334_calipers1.jpg http://www.w124performance...

Just "bolt on" for 500e? I have -92 model so they fit it? Will 16" fit anymore if front rotors are 334mm? Winter wheels are 16" Evo 1 wheels so I wonder that... Yes, that is correct, 100% bolt-on for the 124.034 and 124.036 (400E / 500E), all years (1991-95). And yes, this setup...

UPDATE: Kit #1 - SOLD Kit #2 - Sale pending Kit #3 - SOLD Kit #4 - I have another set of calipers available, identical to what is in Kit #3 (334mm Brembo front, 300mm Ate rear)... No rotors included, but I can provide the Mercedes part numbers for the rotors so you can purchase them locally. Used b...

UPDATE:

Kit #1 - SOLD

Kit #2 - Price reduced, now $450 / OBO, including shipping

Kit #3 - Sale pending

Upgrade Kit #1: SOLD This is a set of four brake calipers from an early 500E. They are remanufactured by TRW and have never been installed. New brake pads and wear sensors are included. These are iron Ate calipers. The front size is 300mm x 28mm, the rear size is 278mm x 24mm. These will bolt on to...

Hi everyone! I took my 1987 300D to the dyno yesterday. A video is at this link, and you can see the dyno graphs at the end: http://www.w124performance.com/movies/Mercedes/dyno/87_300D/ It put out approx 140hp at the wheels, with 190lb-ft of torque. Assuming a conservative 18% powertrain loss, that ...

Bump. Anyone?

Hello, From reading other posts on this forum, it seems that the limit of the stock OM603.960 pump, with 5.5mm elements, is approximately 180hp. I was able to source 6mm pump elements from a 606.962 pump. My questions are... 1) What is the max power the 603 pump can produce, with 6mm elements instal...

I had the fuel volumes incorrectly adjusted and it eventually blew up my turbo. I've since swapped in a K26 and have been very pleased with the quicker spool-up and higher boost levels than the old Garrett T3. I'm now ready to take the next step and send one of my spare pumps over to Myna for their...

Any update on this, Casey?

Wow. What's under the hood of that 2.5 Turbo? How much power, etc?

The small cloud leaving a stop (during the 0-60 tests) *should* be adjustable by leaning out the ALDA a little bit. I'm kinda stumped about the cold start problem though. Maybe the external idle adjust screw, at the top/rear, would affect this? (I'm assuming the glow plugs are all good.) BTW - if yo...

Casey, does the smoking go away once the engine warms up? Or does it smoke at idle and light load after it's warm too? There's no smoke (or very little) at WOT, correct?

Depending on the specific calipers in question and amount of packing, the weight is roughly 20-25lbs (10-12kg). Shipping via USPS economy/surface should be $25-$50, depending on the weight. For airmail, it's at least double. The bigger question is, how much would it cost for Myna to return the pump ...

The rear 300mm calipers are sold and on their way to Norway. :lol: Front Brembo calipers are still available for $600 USD, shipping to Norway or Finland will be $50 USD. I can get another set of rear calipers if anyone wants them badly enough. 8) Side note - apparently the cost of front rotors is qu...

You do know that pump should be adjusted when it's attached to engine and engine runnig? It's the only way get the idle exacly ringt when adjusting maximun fuel delivery. How can you run the engine with the back covers of the pump removed? Wouldn't engine oil pour out the back? :?: (see, we really ...

I just noticed a typo in the original post and edited it... :oops: I had pricing listed as including rotors, but they are not included (which was noted above, now highlighted in red . Sorry about that! It's not cost-effective to ship rotors overseas. They would cost almost $400 USD for new rotors, b...

Excellent information here... I too was not expecting to need to make other adjustments. Questions:

1) Will the ALDA need to be adjusted as well?

2) Will we need to adjust the external throttle stops (setscrews) on the linkage, outside the pump?

I've had these for sale for a few weeks in the USA, and forgot to post over here, in case anyone is interested. Shipping cost across the pond is fairly high but the weak US dollar help you a little... :lol: What's included: Used front Brembo aluminum calipers and used brake pads, for rotor size 334x...

If you want to keep the AC, you'll need to relocate the condenser and radiator back a couple of inches, like in the photo above of Mauri's car. I'm not sure exactly what he did for cooling fans though. About the tranny specialist in the Bay area, I'll look up the name of the company and post it here...

Neat photos, Mauri! Wow, the internal fins on your cooler are amazing. I wonder if we can get something like that in the USA. Perhaps a high-efficiency cooler like that (as large as possible) mounted below the bumper, would support 400hp. Your "old" cooler had 230 square inches of surface ...

Having the tranny beefed up is not a problem in the USA. There is a tranny specialist in central California (SF Bay area) that can do anything you need. The tranny is easy, it just takes money, that's all. I think you would be wise to have the pump modified in Finland though. For an intercooler, you...
