- After finishing the rear end it was time to get the engine running properly, which is wasn't. New injectors and fuel distributor overhaul did nothing. So I bought another 560 SEC that worked properly and started changing over parts until it worked. Turned out it had a massive vacuum leak, possibly EHA fault (fuel manager for the ECU) as well.
Thankfully it's running fine now and sounding very healthy :)
Hearing this makes me miss driving my 126, currently the intake is off to do a head gasket and a EFI conversion.
while you are doing the EFI conversion, check this out: www.benzworld.org/threads/unleash-the-power-m117-968-16v-382hp-423lb-ft.2786010/
The biggest restriction is the intake/plenum!
@@jstdrv I have a few different intake options available to me right now:
2x gsxr itbs
2x 4age itbs
1 x m116 3.5 d-jetronic manifold, top manifold fits engine, not with the bottom manifold attached (bottom manifold hits the back of the engine block as its spaced backwards compared to the k-jet manifold, front OK) (will need to be shortened abt 15-20mm to fit on a m116 4.2 v8 so still should be plenty airflow for a 4.2)
1x stock k-jet manifold
Currently thinking about sending thick plates of aluminium to be machined at a shop for the itb adapters or might shorten the d-jet manifold (might do both if i have the time and/or money, taking my time on this).
I do have 2 speeduino ecu's available (1 complete and 1 uncompleted), 8x ls coils, 8x mustang injectors and various boxes of parts to do the majority of the efi conversion.

What's awesome is that car will go full out, all day long, without a hiccup.
True! Very sturdy old machine ☺️
Sounds great now - good work on sorting out those rear WB panels
Even Americans don’t sound like that AMG❤
Wow! Classic amg exhaust sound!
i own one of these gems and has been sitting in my garage for over a year now runs and drives strong at only 101k miles i had lost interest in the resto project but on another note i would like to hot rod it out like yours. these v8 make good power. sweet ride.
very sweet sound.
Sound beautiful man 👍👍
Yo tengo un 560 Koenig y es el mejor coche que he tenido. Lovew126
All righty, I'm driving on a long, long trip and going to find out what the genuine top speed is on my U.S. (CA) 560 SEC will do. It's 100% as far as I can feel now.
Was going to get the injectors reverse flushed or done/bench tested Friday but was turned off by a friend/VW mechanic from the 80's that made it crystal clear that the CIS injection is very touchy once you "try" to make it perfect. I'm on the fence but will run it in a couple of weeks at 100% for 5 minutes or more if I have the room.
Any input will be appreciated!
I've taken it 130(MPH) a few times locally and it's the best.
Feels like a freight train after 80!
Gotta love it!
I'll never appreciate any automobile like this, ever again.
They are superior in ever aspect I can describe.
I'll do a true top speed run or runs to get a true top speed with a GPS as well as the good
ol' speedometer.
We shall see.
I'll film it so there is no question.
On ground level.
Close to sea level.
It should be around 80 deg. F when I go.
Long trip on a LONG strip of highway that is normally empty.
Side bar:
What spark plug gap does anyone/everyone use on a (US 9.1 to 1 compression 560 SEC)
at close to sea level???
I can only access 91 octane pump fuel on a regular basis.
I have the ignition advance plug/thing removed so it will achieve full advance as Euro models can but I KNOW not the same HP or TQ.
Anyone?
Please refrain from negative or smart ass comments.
I'm new to 560's and Mercedes Benz automobiles in general.
Thanks!
Pete.
Took my 560 sel up to 140mph but was still pulling. I suspect a usa car would do about 160 max
Standard plugs that Mercedes recommends, nothing to gain from plugs. I definitely noticed a gain in power and response when I got rid of the US headers and installed the triple y and no cat
I own the same car! Only i own a first gen widebody with the Penta wheels. Cant wait to get mine to sound like this
Cool!
Sounds waaaay better than my 500 SEC, but my exhaust is California compliant so... that has to change some day. :-)
Great sound👍.Need to change the exhaust on my 500sel
Well worth it, labourbof love
Sounds great
Beast 👌👍
Sounds like a muscle car
Beautiful car. Just moved to Norway and looking for one in the new year. When you started it I could hear a tearing sound on idle. Gearbox bearing?
In States it's often urgent to wait before leaving😉
These days are long gone😢 all beauties were made in this era. Jdm, german, american everyone..
Nos everyones dieing... Only electric cars getting takeover
Nice 👍
Eventually I’d like to get my ‘90 560SEL at least capable of doing this once or twice in a blue moon, otherwise she’s a cruiser. Are you in South Africa somewhere?... great video, classic Mercedes and Ford forever.
I'm in Norway😊
@@jstdrv i wasnt even close lol
@@Lizpolygigiblissgirl where are you expat?
@@jstdrv Southeastern USA
@@Lizpolygigiblissgirlcool, i want to take my TVR Griffith on a boat, ship to the US and drive from cost to cost, through the south!
omg! yes!
What type of exhaust system is that on your car it sounds great
I have another video about the exhaust I built
Fucking awesome under load and full throttle ....but my 450SLC sounds better at idle and on half throttle
WOW sounds great what îs the exhaust set up pls
en felles norske nydelig!
Takk 😁
Hi.. love your car !!! Where can i buy the wide bodykit ?
snyggt bil
Good 👌
Which brand did you use for the ''AMG'' exterior kit?
It was already on the car when i got it
it will be much quicker once it doesn't run lean. Nice sound though ;-)
Thanks, yes I suspect it's lean some places and rich in other places. I have a full efi kit for it here, I'll see if I have the time to install it :)
Hi, I have an 1989 560 SEC I picked up a year ago and have been going through.
Injectors and seats are on the way, Idle nonsense is finally fixed(ICV and ICM).
Every sensor it has as well.
All vacuum lines that I could see the end of.
How did you detect the vacuum leak?
Smoke test?
What exhaust is that???
Mine is stock and moves out very well but the idle is a "little" shaky but I'm super picky.
Thanks!
Pete.
you spray starter fluid around the intake to find leaks. If you mix some 2stroke oil in with the gasoline it will run more smoothly.
The exhaust headers is from 560 ECE engine 300hp, I found it on ebay for 1500 euros, quite expensive, but extra 30 hp (aprox)
whats up with the white folks in that part of town bro?!?!? lol
This is Norway
“Migrant crisis” after letting them in to contribute to your “white” society’s economy.. if you got a problem with them go protest to not let them in! I do understand you concern but you are looking at it very wrong , basically you are what normal educated people would call a cunt , prick or a dumass but hey education and common sense is not for everyone!

It is in fact racist. Crime is directly correlated with socioeconomic position, not race.
@@einar6229 people are driven to crime by desperation, remember that next time you see someone who looks different to you
@@midasmilton9117 Not true. You're repeating what someone else wants you to belive. Just look at Germany and England, or America. Hope Norway corrects itself and doesnt have to find out the truth the hard way.
BBS?
AMG aero 3 were made by OZ
