Load it on a C-130 or the airplane of your choice.

Only if you're pushing 300+hp.

VNT is the best if you want it to remain drivable on the street. 18psi is ample, WITH maximized fuel settings, until the injection pump is replaced with a higher capacity model.

None.

If you have about $7k to invest, it sure does.

100% total waste of money. Throw that K&N in the garbage, thats where it deserves to be. It has zero benefits, only downsides.

The stock system is already a cold air intake.

Welcome back...

this car is like, waaaay too slow for my taste, but i know it has potential

do you have a lot of dosh to play with? just curious dude--you sound like the rich type

Nah. Rich types seem much more intelligent.....

If you really want your 300d to always go faster, just always drive it downhill.

I think SEV might just be a talker and wants to talk. He says he has torn hndreds of 123 down and can appreciate the motor but isn't sure he is up to setting his own valves???? That doesn't add. He just wants to visit. But back to stripping the car down. 30 years ago or so Hot Rod Magazine did that very thing with a Cadillac. They loaded it with four guys and surfboards and Junk and went down the track in something like 16 sec. Then they emptied it and ran, then they unbolted parts and ran, then they took a torch to it and ran. I seem to remember they got in the 11's or 12's and never touched the motor. Any way it was kind of a neat article. I'm out of this thread. Thanks

you beat me to that assumption. i was just thinking that last night

guys, guys, guys. you should be ashamed of your responses to this thread. i simply asked how to up my performance on the cheap, and now everyone's coming out of the woodwork with their flames

it's ok though, i do my fair share of prodding and instigating batboy and others, so i'm willing to take it all with a grain of salt

to clarify, i have dismantled many mercedes cars from the 114 to the r129 chassis and everything in between, including the engine of a w123--in some cases completely dismantling the engine. just last week i removed the oil filter housing, the tube that leads from it to the turbo, and the oil lines that go from filter housing to oil cooler. i'm no stranger to this engine--i am a stranger to fixing it though, and the workings of a diesel engine in general. that doesn't mean i know how to do a valve adjustment. it's one thing to turn a wrench to dismantle a part, it's quite another, as you know, to turn one in order to fix something or put it back together, especially when it concerns items which require precision work.
