snakey135 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 But what about the intake... did you lose lower performance because of this.. sure I’ve read that other people have found this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yes you will lose a small amount of low torque. But it picked up loads better mid range and was generally much better than stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 What cams did you put in on that setup, are there certain cams I should avoid? And ECU wise what’s generally recommended? I know lots of questions but just trying to get an idea together of what’s worth doing on it for when I manage to give back this Mercedes I’m currently stuck with! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakey135 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Cheers @dr_broon they haven’t come up too bad... but as boss man @Dave stated... a lot more going on here... I have one lamp apart and reflector cut to size to fit the projector in... just to work out how fix it in place, and then to work out the electrics of them. photos to come... on @EmZvr‘s how too he mentions the importance of keeping the reflective shroud pristine... but I powered the projector unit up on its own in front of our beam setter at work, and pattern and intensity seemed perfect... to I actually HAVE to keep the reflective housing chromed up or could I get away with blacking it out?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Done some research into the reflectors... found out that the reflective bowl that is fitted within the projector lamps themselves is all it needs... so good bye chrome shrouds!! Started the de chromeing process today!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gel Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Blacked out projector headlights really do smarten up the front end.....tis the passive aggressive look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
