W124 dailydriver upgrade
W124 dailydriver upgrade
Hi!
Had previosly w123 and om606+722.626 as a daily for a year and then I sold pretty much all of the expensive parts away to get money to another project and bought this standard 300dt 124 with aircon and tempomat. But don't like to drive this, so low on power. I still have the base engine left from w123 so will put that to this and just rebuild and strenghtened 320cdi 722.626 box for this too.
Already I have installed olefejers controller to the car and it now controls w126 electric speedo in w124 dash, speed is taken from front abs sensor. In couple of weeks I install the gearbox itself to the car and in the summer time I change the engine too.
I have bought already 7.5mm pump from dieselmeken and couple of turbos. Exhaust side of those is now done, not by me, PTRacing made all the manifolds for this. He had w124 halfcut in his garage to make turbos fit nicely to w124 engine bay.
Couple of pics..
The car itself last summer
Donor gearbox was in really bad shape
Turbos
Bought chinese made 3" cutout which will be controlled by tcu by boost reference
