[@ANDERZENAMG]

Can’t wait to see it boosted back up!!

[@bugnautica-lo9ng]

Best of luck with that head gasket. I hope the Benz is all good soon!

[@AutoAfflicted]

Thank you 🙏🏼 hopefully it can be up and running before the end of the year, just depends on my free time

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

Yessss. Im excited to see this running again

[@AutoAfflicted]

Yes! I’m excited to put out a driving video and full review + I just miss the turbo coupe vibes

[@rafaelestrada-gl2sh]

Can’t wait for you to put EFI !!! I got my 190e turbocharged because of your videos and I’m loving it how you explained in detail. Can’t wait for more. Blessings!

[@AutoAfflicted]

Nice! Glad they were helpful! How is your 190e running?

[@rafaelestrada-gl2sh]

@@AutoAfflicted it’s running great! I love the whistle sound! Just want more power to it and EFI is the next best way. Bought the kit from Kangaroos Team way back Covid 2019

[@AutoAfflicted]

@rafaelestrada-gl2sh nice! I’m sure I will go with an EFI upgrade at some point

[@AutoAfflicted]

Thank you very much! 🙏🏼

[@wxmt95]

awesome! cant wait to hear it brother!

[@AutoAfflicted]

Sounds so good even with blown turbo. Can’t wait to be boosting again

[@Toblex_YT]

really great looking forward for this to be back on the road, also you should look into maybe getting some kinda sound deadening foam for the garage to not make it so echoy :)

[@AutoAfflicted]

Haha yes! I made the mistake of using my shotgun mic instead of my wireless lav mic… some sound deadening foam would be good

[@raymyers4539]

Use cold start injector as 5th injector just a thought ‘ you will need a head gasket sealer assembly spray like loctite etc you can set the timing too the n position to retard timing your know because the temp gauge will rise up under boost

[@AutoAfflicted]

Great info! I hadn’t come across anyone retarding the timing but I knew it was thing

[@raymyers4539]

@@AutoAfflicted you can retard the ignition system on some cis systems like my w124 the facility is actually for fuel quality & poor octane fuel u can use a timing strobe too see effect’ I believe we retard for boost I’m no expert but I set mine too the n position runs cooler under boost

[@AutoAfflicted]

@raymyers4539 my car does not have the controller for the different fuel qualities , seems I would have to do it manually

[@raymyers4539]

@@AutoAfflicted resistor for ezl or convert your ezl' you could block vac advance to be safe don't suspect your need it with 10psi' i had audible detonation on a hot day at 7 psi so i put it too n position i think the air pontimiter adjust can effect timing too' i only get enough fuel for 7 psi with eha open all the way & anything over 7 psi on long drag sprints the elring head gasket melts twice now will change too msl once i see you do it lol 3mm std size it 2mm u may need cam timing adjustment possibly

[@raymyers4539]

you need too seal up exhaust to check for audible detonation first' i would try a 5th injector & ten psi on cis id love too see the results' everyone goes efi but i the like German originality but that's just me.

[@martinsuperstar6049]

The mls gasket is definitely good but a new ehlring gasket can take up to 23 psi with no problem. But you should definitely upgrade the head bolts. My m103 runs right now with 23psi/1.6 bar with no problem. Borgwarner efr. The whole things controlled by maxxecu. Makes 450hp on the crank.

[@AutoAfflicted]

That’s a proper build you got for sure! I did purchase an Ehlring but figured I’d take it a step further, got some ARP head bolts ready for action

[@martinsuperstar6049]

Yeah will get myself one from Thailand. Means it's pretty valuable that u show this to the community!!! I need to reduce compression ratio too. Because I wanna update to a bigger turbo + rods and pistons Aiming for 750 However keep on updating us Thx

[@AutoAfflicted]

@martinsuperstar6049 I’m about the community, sharing the info I dig up - def will keep the updates coming

[@taylorbushnell5838]

450hp is nice. What model turbo are you using?
