Hey guys i have finally finished rewiring my Megasquirt conversion so its all pretty and running great..... Now i have posted it as for sale on carsales.com.au to start/fund my next project.

The problem i have is i have posted it with a fairly standard price for a SLC in Australia and would like to know if you knowledgeable people from BW think that a upgraded ECU+Fuel+spark system is worth more then a standard SLC or if it drops the value?

PS: the next project is putting a M113 into a SLC and doing wheel flairs with mega wide wheels like the SLC bitumen racer and upgrading the interior, which indecently the website SLC Racing : manufacturer of Mercedes SLC 500 Rally Cars has put ALOT more pics of the racer and a Safari version one their site. I gave up on the M117 due to how hard it would be to fit a better gearbox to it, the 5speed on the M113s is ideal for what i want

All very true, i think i ll leave the price as i have it atm until i get a result from the dyno tune. Then i can say how much better it is with facts rather then seat of the pants

Oughtsix already did that pretty much in terms of getting the car running on MSII, the only thing i did was convert it to coil pack sparks which doesnt really boost performance that much. Mercedes 450slc with MegaSquirt fuel injection is oughtsixs page.

The coils i used were just some generic coil packs from a Isuzu Rodeo only cause we dont have many standard cars in Australia that use coil packs in 4 tower lots. Wiring is all explained on the Megasquirt page, but i would recommend you get the Megasquirt prebuilt with the extra items you need.

yeah thats why i want to go to a dyno tuning shop, mainly to get help with the spark advance settings, the fuel side i things i understand, but the sparks leave me for dead so i recon that my car will get some major improvements from been dyno tuned specially under light cruising.
Atm the car is actually in the shop getting the rear main seal replaced and the transmission serviced for a roadworthy certificate, then i am off to a tuning shop to get it running 100% and find out some actual figures on power/torque

So am i But i will still be selling it after doing all this, i really want a proper gearbox, having only 3speeds suck and the 4speeds that bolt on arn't much better either. All i have to do now is find another wrecked 55 amg, hopefully i can get a whole car still.

guh, i hate it when you take a car in for a simple fix up and the shop rings you half way thru and tells you the car needs major surgery too

Both front and rear seals of my gearbox along with my vacume controler are all leaking, both my front calipers need fixing due to the left one been leaking and something else went wrong, i ll have a quote this afternoon for all the work
