Pro tip, buy a couple spare valve keepers with your springs, one is in the bottom of my oil pan 😆 Turbo fits nicely with benzforce adapters, i would just go benzforce 100% for this he221 setup…keeper(s) is coming in today, i intend to button the head back up before redoing and welding the Down...

Just running stock, I haven't noticed a problem even with the CT26. My butt dyno said probably 280hp, just a shame it was for 500 rpm lol, but had plenty of fuel. I assume you pulled the fuel pump and just ran a line in its place?

I got some new parts from benz injection and benzforce… Driving impressions from the ct26 were good, for a race car. Spool up was about 2600rpm and it would spool to 24psi quickly. The truck would unfortunately crank egts way past where i was comfortable, but it pulled really well once in...

Man, thank you for that. I just got off the phone with Shane. For anyone on here that feels slighted by benz injection, I can't say enough nice things about the guy. He is sending me new injectors at no additional cost, and I am sending the remans back. He apparently has a shop rebuild them...

This was the iat install, just cut out the old one, and welding to the new pipe And aside from this, i wired the dakota digital into speedo, tach. And repurposed the ABS light to a glow indicator. I put in a micro relay in to convert from 12v input into a grounded input. Pretty simple, just use...

Any updates, was thinking of ordering

Would love to know how those new injectors are. In hind-site i should have just bought new. I have quite a bit of blue smoke at idle, and revs while still cold…along with nailing thats seems to get a bit better once up to temp, but is still more than i would like. I will post a video soon. I...

I second the OM606. I just got mine running and so far am happy with the swapability. Exhaust shares same side as 1fz, 100 lbs lighter(6bt is 1k+), same RPM range, parts availability, comparable power to the 1fz. Fits perfect. Doomsday kit was fantastic. Made in Germany, not china. Total was sub...

Rookie mistake, 🙄 make sure you align this after a valvebody r&r Explains my no 1st, bottoms out on the pin. 😮‍💨

My experience so far with Shane has been great, and seems to always answer the phone and help me. I was really stressing on the injectors. I will say that it has a little bit of nailing, about 5 seconds after startup, and starts to lighten as it is idling. Shane said that it should subside...

Hey guys, Finally time for an update. SHE RUNS!! My started was super weak, so I bought this little gem: 1999 Mercedes-Benz E300 Turbodiesel - Electrical - Switches, Motors, Relays, Fuses & Wiring - (Starters, WOSP Starter Motors) -...

Now im stressing, you're the second disgruntled customer, with injectors specifically. Anyone have a good experience? @turbodizzle how/where did you get injectors? did he refund you? Thanks

Here is an update on alternator wiring, and i found that pinout, for reference I bench tested the alternator with the exciter powered, found out minimum 3volts a/c. then tied in for the Dakota Digital. their new unit also integrates speedo input, so i also get to correct for my 315’s. Win win...

I was super close to snatching their hybrid, but with exchange rates it was like 1800 plus shipping. Benz injection has got one as well. I really should have gone that route, so much simpler and cheaper. If only this turbo didn't say Toyota on it. HA

Here is the pps harness, and pin out. I repurposed the distributor harness(perfect length)and added one 18 gauge wire, and created a short ground. Fortunately the plug is labeled with the corresponding numbers in the diagram. The factory pigtail i got had different wire colors anyways(98), so...
