    Still learning

    Increasing the Turbo Boost does not equate to a Power increase. Apparently increased Boost increases Air Temperature which the Std Inter Cooler cannot cope with. Hot air reduces the air molecules , less oxygen , less Power. I read that the most effective way to increase the Torque in our C...

    Pressure and Vacuum

    Perhaps for Patrick...... thinking about fitting a Turbo Boost Gauge ..... Is Pressure and Vacuum actually the same thing in the inlet manifold ?? and or the inlet tube before the Air Flow Meter ? Instructions are to tap into the line running from the inlet intake tube, before the AFM, which...

    6.9 Transmission Upgrade

    Interesting observation on how to decrease the value of a Car by modifying it. Even restoring one can be a money pit...... friend who rebuilds/restores wooden Bodies of Post War Riley's, is realistic when asked, what is the Riley was worth after spending $100,000 on a total restoration...

    Better Plugs

    The Denso add is right ....:) their Plugs perform better. Now fitted to in our C Class 200 and C250 CGIs Turbos I removed NGKs at 90.000 Ks and fitted IXUH22 Denso There unique design gives a stronger Spark with a better Burn ie the Flame Front across the combustion Chamber. Cars feel...

    Turbo Charging

    Google GFB (gofastbits.co.au ) based in Sydney with a World Wide Market. Our C 250 CGI was still a bit sluggish compared to our C200 CGI with Torque 500 RPM after the C200 round Town. "The Atomic Boost Controller" smartened the immediate Throttle response quite a bit. It is installed...

    Turbo Boost Controllers

    They do work.. I have installed a GFB locally made one on our C 250 CGI. Fixed the slow throttle response and the low down Torque. Driving is now with a light touch. Just as good as the C 200 CGI which is factory set up for much better low down Torque. As all these later model European Turbo...

    A flighty Rear End

    Our C 250 CGI is very twitchy in the wet using more than light/ medium throttle taking off.:cool: The Traction Control Light goes berserk. The cure I remember was from the 1950/55 Morris Oxfords in my Apprentice Days.... a bag of Sand in the Boot. Two 20 Kilos Bags of Gravel did the trick.

    Transmission Kick Down

    Most Kick down issues are a result of lack of Pedal travel ie the Pedal hits the floor. Just plain old wear and tear. With a Rod system it can be sorted by just pulling the Pedal up to bend it some what.

    Without Sin

    Is Mercedes without Sin ? I think not. The Rear Light wiring and the Bulb Holder Assemblies on the C Class W204 from 2007 to 2012, plus some others I suspect,, was not up to standard. The Ground feed wire could not carry the current and over heated resulting in the connector burning out. A...

    C 250 v C 200

    Our C 250 CGI lacked the throttle response of the lower H.P. of our C 200 CGI. I had tried all the usual maintenance procedures and even resetting the ECU. Must not have worked , so I gave it another go thanks to the simple internet instructions.... 2/3 minutes to reset. This time a result...

    Direct injection

    Two steps forward and one step back... Ie the inlet valves carbon up... The Subaru inlet manifold Cleaner works well.for me.... I now read that the main culprit is the Crank Case ventilation system producing too much oil vapour. :) Apparently the thin Oils now used.... 0/20 ..5/20 etc are...
