Peace to all, I have been wrenching away at a diesel project here for about a year now. So far I have an OM606 Turbo dropped in, with a 6 speed box behind it. Here's the most recent video in the journey And here is a playlist with all the videos i've done related to this project: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrVclkjDHXeL3Dmt9Me1lcp1kpXPzX4i1please sub and shoot any questions or suggestions here on or on the videos. thanks! |

I've gotten to the point where I needed to shorten the front driveshaft and after a bit of searching found a shop - the are local to me and commonly work with customers all over using shipping if anyone else is interested bit.ly/2qFPjqK |

Hey dude,
If you need it, somewhere I've got the merc part number of the propshaft you need. Assuming your car is a sedan?

Yeah part should be readily accessible. I also have access to the EWA/EPC if you need wdiesel |

That would be legit - I found a shaft from an Auto C230 sedan (Also, yes mine is a w124 sedan) It does fit - though it may be about an inch shorter than stock tolerances Here's a video where I show it a bit |

This shaft was a super cheap W203 auto sedan from a junk yard It does fit - though it may be about an inch shorter than stock tolerances Here's a video where I show it a bit |

Intercoolers are one of the hardest things to fit in a W124 imo, Turbobandit sell the biggest ICs that I know of that fit between the headlights but you still need to cut a good 3-5cm into the crossmember and delete A/C. I may just try water/meth injection for mine instead!
Cheers, keep em rolling!

Water/meth sounds like a reasonable alternative to out right chopping the frame up. I live in a very hot climate (summers are 110F +) so the AC had to stay. Others suggested an air to water IC unit but for simplicity sake and to avoid problems with heat sink I avoided it, others have had success with that though. I'll definitely keep the videos up.
Thank all
