Re: [MBZ] 10 Cars You Can Bet Will Be Classics (NOW HAS BENZ CONTENT)
Well, I made a mess of it. The replacment I gave my indy is for the later model. Should have gotten the 043 instead. I have a dead injector. #6 is not performing, though it is getting good signal. I got a pair of injectors to my indy, but now I will have to get a better one. clay On Jan 8, 2013, at 11:22 PM, David Bruckmann wrote: Out of curiosity, why are you replacing them?

Not much different than the D-Jet :-) It might also reduce the fuel consumption. I was considering it when I had the 450SLC, but lost interest.

Re: [MBZ] 10 Cars You Can Bet Will Be Classics (NOW HAS BENZ CONTENT)
Based on my ability to screw this car up, I would have great trepidation facing this DIY. It would be nice to be able to upgrade to a newer tech. I would have to get the car into better running condition and do a full renovation plan at that point to hit all the questionable bits as one. Fuel, engine, sparks, injection. Better, in my mind to tackle that when the engine is being rebuilt or having the heads done. All the parts will be out and my indy will be more amenable, as well as my wallet clay On Jan 8, 2013, at 7:53 AM, OK Don wrote: How about replacing the D-Jet with something a little more modern? http://www.forum.w116.org/mechanicals/megasquirt-conversion-for-d-jet-for-m110-engine/ http://msextra.com/ http://www.megamanual.com/index.html http://www.megasquirt.info/ On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 9:45 PM, clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net wrote: I wish I could find the dang D-jet injectors for Froggy at a reasonable price.

Out of curiosity, why are you replacing them? They typically don't wear out or go bad... unlike the K-jet injectors. According to the Bosch cross-ref guide, the numbers for the 4.5L M117 D-Jet are 0 280 150 043 (107/116 D-Jet 4.5L until 3/75) 0 280 150 036 (107/116 D-Jet 4.5L begin 4/75) Also used in: Volvo 140-series and P1800 (B20E engine) Volvo 160-series (B30E engine) BMW 3.0 CSi (M30 and B30 engine) Citroën DS21 (DXII 2.1 and 2.3L) D.
