You always kill it big dawg!!! Great work 🤩😼

[@thebenzhouse]

You know it you know how much work went into making this look decent man oh man was this a pain 😅

[@abylewis2866]

😂😂 great video made me laugh for sure from where that thing started to now talk about a worlds difference 😱 I also followed your IG that thing was rough before great job

[@thebenzhouse]

Thank you yea we were working with what we had sometimes builds are easy and sometimes they give you trouble. But hey it turned out great from where it was so that's a huge plus

[@matiasrivas8251]

nice build , can you comment about how handle the cylinder headgasket and the studs , and how much pressure it is charging?

[@thebenzhouse]

@@matiasrivas8251 all I did was the efi I didn't do the engine swap these motors can handle about 1.5bar of boost without any probs normally on a healthy motor again that's on a healthy motor if you want to play it safe I would say 8lbs of boost is more than enough and will be fine if you wanted to add arp bolts and a new gasket make sure it's all good there you can most definitely push more it all just depends

[@andres2121h]

Nice car, awesome job...

[@thebenzhouse]

Thanks man it was for sure a little more work than we thought but fun!

[@andres2121h]

yes , usually happens. I did a rebuild on my m103 and worked ok till it began to sound the rocker arm and destroyed part of the cam. changed the cam and rocker arm , for now is working fine.

[@thebenzhouse]

@andres2121h yes you gotta be careful with the 1989 and older m103 they have soft camshaft and weaker parts anything after is perfectly fine

[@andres2121h]

Thanks, it was working fine before the rebuild but, It was burning some oil, so I decided to do the rebuild, and after that, happened the cam destroyed. Brand new camshaft are good? New rocker arms are very difficult to find here where I live and pretty expensive. Also have a m104980 that recently bought, but it requires a rebuild also... thanks for responding

[@thebenzhouse]

@@andres2121h of course I try to be quick and respond to all my msgs and yea I like the m103 over the m104 any day way more simple and easy to work on

[@Pg-xs4tr]

How much hp?

[@thebenzhouse]

Should be around 350 after it's done being tuned ect

[@jadedsacred]

hyped for the evo

[@thebenzhouse]

You and me both man

[@TeverLLC]

Hey, I always watch your videos!! great info there!.. finally realized (once my kid told me) that I should subscribe.... (new to how this all works) But, I have a w108 that I'm going to build up with a couple little upgrades and this turbo m103 swap looks like a better option for me than my original straight 6.. I have a 1989 300ce donor that's wrecked but motor and trans are still strong.. any advice? thx!

[@thebenzhouse]

That will be a great donor car. And thank you for subscribing I appreciate it 😉. If you ever need any help with your swap be sure to msg me on IG if you have it if not you can always msg me here I'll see it and msg you back asap! That's gonna be a great swap and build man good luck have fun and take your time

[@samilhankoca3568]

Hello sir, I watched your efi video list and I was amazed. I intend to buy a w124 300E, but I heard that k-jet does not work well with LPG. Does converting to efi solve this problem? Is installing a turbo a problem for LPG?

[@thebenzhouse]

@@samilhankoca3568 k jet when working right is good but if you want better range or more power then yes efi is a great solution

[@geniusanthony]

Your driveway looks like mine. I have 3 124s a 114 and 107. Do you make housecalls to the DC metro?

[@thebenzhouse]

Msg me on ig

[@Garci96b]

How are the front seats mounted? Do you need a frame to mount them?

[@thebenzhouse]

It's not my car its just a car I was working on idk I'm sorry

[@The_BarQy]

Can you add a link to his channel? The classic benz coupe?

[@thebenzhouse]

He is only on ig

[@taylorbushnell5838]

What did you use for IAC? (Idle air control valve)

[@thebenzhouse]

Didn't use one

[@piskota2488]

Hello I bought a m103 that had an automatic and I have a 5 speed gearbox from om603, do I have to look for a flywheel from 2.6 manual to do EFI conversion

[@thebenzhouse]

No you do not because your not going to be using the trigger teeth on it soxit will be perfectly fine

[@piskota2488]

@@thebenzhouse yes it makes sense hahahaha. Thank you very much for your reply. is there another option for the O2 sensor or is it just the one from your earlier clip that you show?

[@thebenzhouse]
