Which model series have Brembo manufactured front calipers? All aluminium? Particularly interested in 4-pots which will fit 16" wheels. Thanks. /johannes

I was on the race track yesterday with my Coupe to make a base test of what's working and what needs to be improved. Car is really fast with rebuilt suspension and brakes but the steering could be quicker. Is there a quicker steering box from some other model to be fitted in W114? Thinking of...

I'm looking for manually adjustable Mercedes seat rails to fit in order to bolt very early Recaros onto. From what MB model would be a closest fit? Perhaps with some modification needed...? /johannes

Hi all, during the past 1,5 years I'm been working on this swap. The car has been test driven now and appears to work fine. Very fast. Some fine tuning to be done though, eg. throttle actuator: after constant revs on load and pushing the clutch pedal (traffic lights etc.) the engine has a...

Are there many different sizes of W124 clutch masters? I know that the older Mercs eg. W114, has a 19,05mm caliber cylinder. And I am of the understanding that the size is the same in W124. The problem is that I'm having difficulties in getting the clutch work properly in my W114/M104 swap...

The engine starts fine with smooth idle. When touching the gas pedal it does not respond. When warmed up everything works fine. Can an open air filter disturb the HFM-system? I needed to make the change due to lack of space for the original in my swap to W114 Coupe. /johannes

In my W114 swap I cannot get the tacho working. Any ideas where i can tap the rpm signal since the "normal" green/yellow is not working. See pic. Engine is -93, 5 speed manual and non-ASR. Thanks. /johannes

I have swapped a M104 from E320 into a W114 Coupe. It was originally a non-ASR car and 5 speed manual. Now I'm facing some problems with the engine not revving (max 1500rpm i guess) and having high idle. When idling it runs very smooth. Can this symptom be due to a disengaged cruise control? I...

Where/what model should I start to look for a LSD? I guess the one I have from a W124 E320T (ABS/ASD) will not fit?

The original setup for W114 (250 CE) uses one fuel pump. In a W124 E320 the fuel is supplied by two fuel pumps. Is it absolute necessary to install this setup in my swap or can I use the existing one that is bolted on to the chassis already?

Is there somewhere to be found a table of tightening torques for this engine? Need to know torques for the exhaust manifold engineering studs and copper lock nuts. Also for valve cover bolts. Thanks.

I'm searching for suitable Recaros from late 70's to early 80's for my project. Since Mercedes did not have any by the time, I'm looking at BMW's. I've found that seats from 6-series and E21 or E30 have a nice design touch of that era. Now my concern is are these Recaros too low for a W114? Or...

I get now and then recommendations to convert the original engine management in M104 E320 to Megasquirt. The more I study the subject, the more I find people having difficulties in tuning in working specs for daily driving. Racing and high revs is different. Does anybody have a Megasquirt in...

Looking for a suitable rev gauge to fit the W114 original dash, in the middle where the clock sits. Since it seems to be difficult to find an original, is there any aftermarket ones that would have as close as possible design of the original? The motor in my setup is a M104 E320. Any tips...

Sorry, could not master the search...:( I want to remove the air pump in my swap and was wondering if it is as simple as plugging the hole in the head after removing the pump and the hose? Or does the removal have negative effects on the engine performance? Thanks.

To free some space in my M104 (E320) swap -> W114 Coupe I'm considering an electric WP. Does anybody have experience in this? Do you have any recommendations of a suitable/fairly priced electric WP for street use? Preferably radiator mount. Thanks.

I need to move the filter to make some more space on the intake side. Anybody with a clever idea what would the set-up look like and what is needed? Thanks.

Anybody know if it does and if it's of stainless steel? Thanks.

I am going to swap a E320 engine to my W114 Coupe and noticed the huge front brakes E320 has. They may be needed but will they fit? //johannes
