Barra Turbo conversion into W124 89 model Mercedes 300e sedan

[MerBarra]

@It is I I spoke to autotech this afternoon,  just waiting on spiro to call back . they seem to know their stuff and actually   took the time to hear and picture my vision for this classic piece of engineering.     

Lets see how things go  .  Alot of homework to do . 

 

I tried calling cms but no answer , will try them again tomorrow.

CMS will be cheaper then autotech 100% though...jus sayin 

[MerBarra]

@TRYME  lets see how the call goes  tomorrow.

Any advise on sourcing  engine and box with ecu ,  loom  , fuse box etc  would be great . 

Im thinking to buy from the wreckers and do the head , pumps and valves at the same time .

So  I seen cms and I was told may need firewall  cut back 1 inch and some tunnel massage.

Will have to  do more homework before deciding to chop firewall.

This is why you're posting in the Coversions, Transplants and FRANKENSTEINS page haha

 

What you're talking about is a big and ambitious job! That's why I, for one, am so excited to follow your journey. Even if you don't do it, it's really cool to see the fact finding process

[MerBarra]

Indeed  a franky  type of journey.

We do drive in drive out engine conversions with LS barra, few diesels and other wierd and wonderful stuff. I have an m177 on the floor im trying to work out if a standalone setup is possible. 

 

Been thinking about doing something with a w124 myself. Seema few LS swapped ones and there seems to be a lot of hassles with tunnel and steering, straight 6 would have to be more forgiving. Anyway Hartley 2790 location, look up LS Conversions on facebook if you want to chat about it.
