Here’s a comparison to the standard M100 6.3 and the Rote Sau

The trouble with multi plenums & throttles is that you can potentially halve the volume & velocity of air through each & it makes any pressure variations more significant. I looked at the 450SLC & initially thought it’s just a std 6.3 manifold with a slightly different shape, but I then realized...

Here’s a seriously modded M120, but the manifolds are only marginally better than the std ones. The last group of pix give you an idea how tight things are in the centre and the fuel rail just makes it worse!

Oh I should probably add these here. Not how I’ve designed mine, however this workmanship is superb.

Yep that was my first version too. I’m now looking at something far more advanced

I got a fairly decent quote from a highly recommended fabricator in Melbourne's far East. $3500-$4K for full stainless custom headers (probably not including the remainder of the system). Not cheap, but also not as bad as I'd expected since my estimates of late have been 1/2 of the actual cost!

I finally nutted out the M120 & the Ferrari V12s and the biggest hurdle seems to be a sheer lack of space; far worse than the space around a M100 6.9!

I feel glad that the first engine to run this system will be the M117; an engine that’s suffered from a lack of decent support for so long.

I’ve discovered the system will work on any engine (not just Benzes) and of course includes M100, M119, M113, M110, M103/4. The M120 is harder but not impossible

Nearly got all the parts I need….

Hey I’ve looking for someone to pick up a Marketplace item. Just putting it out there….

I thought this thread contained the original owner of this car and the reasons it was built. I'll have to track down the info and add it here. Hopefully the car found a good new home.

Interesting this happened to me the other day in a BMW X5 (work car). No car following but it gave me a hell of a shock even at 50kmh. All I saw was shadows across the road, but the car decided there was another vehicle directly ahead and all I saw was the flashing red silhouette of a car on...

Ohhh wow! Very Interesting historical images! 😉 Is your father still around to ask for more info? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Slow progress is better than no progress I guess lol!!! It’s a piece from here & a piece from there, but it’s actually coming together now! I did another significant redesign of the manifold, so it’s back to another scale drawing before fabrication. It’ll even work on the Ford small block...

Wow that’s amazing! Do you have any more pix of the car? I’d be especially interested in the engine….

Geez you’ve put a lot of work into the car; it must be amazing to drive!!

I don’t know how they slip through the cracks but here’s a bit harder than FB to see the indicators of a scam or fake account

Time to ban this idiot

It just clicked what’s going on with the horrible speedo face. I’d suggest they modified the graduations to cater for the steering wheel which might’ve obscured the most used section of the facia… Personally I’d prefer the original steering wheel!
