300SEL Twin Turbo Project.
Hello everyone..
first of all.. Im sorry, because i did not document the setup and installation of the project. but its a KIT so you didn't miss much
I got the Mosselman Twin Turbo KIT from Jay, Thank you Jay
Installed it, took us a bit of time, had to make new downpipes as the old ones were old plus on the W126 there is like a bridge connecting the chassis together, this had to be taken off if we were to use the old downpipes.
now its back on.. don't really know what exactly its for, im sure it has to do with handling.
Results?? AMAZING, i get 0.45bar on the boost gauge at 3500rpm but there is a little of power ( around 40hp only ).
things that could have gone wrong, but thankfully didn't:
Temp, very cool always below 80. (although the inter cooler gets very hot, and the pipes to the inter cooler gets very hot too, strange?!)
AFR, well i need your help on this one to decide if there if a problem or not.
when i first start the car, its 12 then slowly goes up to 14~14.7
upon acceleration and under boost, its always under 14
some times when revved hard get down to 11 and 10
But, sometime after stopping the engine for 10 minutes and starting again, and also when driving down hill (using only gravity at speeds lower than Five (5)KMPH and slight pressure on the brakes it reads 18 and 19 , , it immediately goes back to normal ~14 when i accelerate..
So do you think i have a problem here?
Oil Pressure, Seems fine to me when i start engine and when its cold , but something is bothering me . on idle, the pressure drops below 1bar and when i but the gear on D or R its down to 0bar. a slight pressure on the accelerator pedal will instantly make the pressure go back up to 2 and 3bar. What do you think?
Now to the things that did go wrong.
Is there any recommended OIL brand or a specification that i should be looking for?
Guys im really sorry i don't have any video or pics now.. but i promise you i will detail everything either with a pic or with a vid tomorrow. we were to excited to get the car on the road that none of us, my friends and i, even thought about holding the cam corder and document everything.
We Appreciate any help or comments.. we are no experts, hardly even beginners.. all our knowledge is derived from Forum(s)... mainly this forum, and some book reading.
I Promise you next time the post will be shorter
