Major 500SEL Engine Modifications
1. Thinking about converting the 1985 hydraulic injection system to a more controlable electronic injection system. Are there any fuel injectors on the market that will fit? planning to build and program an ECM for it too. What's a good way to sense the exact rotation of the engine (down to the degree) maybe 50,000 times per second?
2. On some newer cars, there are sometimes individual coils for each cylinder. Is there any reason why one of those, tied into the above ECM, wouldn't work? (spark not powerfull enough.. ect..)
3. Why all of this vaccume stuff? Lets get rid of it all! How can I get rid of the flapper in the intake and drop on a supercharger without loosing my vaccume-dependant components?
I am planning to machine alot of parts from aluminum and a have a good working knowledge of microchip programming and design but I have no idea why these cars are so dependant on vaccume when it obviously could push more horses without the flapper restrictions ect...
If anyone has attempted to do anything like this or have even researched the possibilities, please let me know. The last thing I want is to pass the point of no return without a plan.
