Ultimate Street Sleeper - Mercedes W124 'Superturbodiesel'
Discussion
Had a wicked weekend at modified nationals. Sadly i was too burnt, hungover and lethargic to move into the sunlight to take any photos.
Ive had the windows tinted, and a pointy down tip welded on the exhaust to keep the soot off the new paint on the rear (well all over to be honest)
Mini photo shoot!

That's incredible, congratulations.
I did enjoy reading through the technical analysis of why the original dyno figures were out but I'm sure that whatever it's producing is good fun!
Would love to see it on a drag strip.
It made 526whp. I dont see how anyone can argue the printout .The latest offering from dpuk with the fancy quick spooling manifold made 611whp (albeit in untested terrirtory)I did enjoy reading through the technical analysis of why the original dyno figures were out but I'm sure that whatever it's producing is good fun!

Do you get through MOT's ok on the emissions front out of interest?
It actually passed with a clean slate. Only smokes if you stamp hard on the throttle.TheDrBrian said:

Throttle? PH8

Considered going with a variable geometry turbo (or two)?
Would make the boost curve less spiky.
And water injection so you don't need to run it so rich.
Water is cheaper than fuel
Running a diesel rich creates hotter combustion temperatures, the opposite of a petrol.Would make the boost curve less spiky.
