TurboCharging an SL
1 - 3 of 3 Posts
I read an article about one
Some years ago I read an article about someone in Australia who turbo-charged his 350SL. I remember he had problems due to the high compression (9.5:1) of the Aus delivered 3.5 litre. The lower compression 4.5 in the 450SL would probably be a better candidate for this.

I'll admit, I am reluctant to purchase a new ICE vehicle but would still purchase a used discounted ICE vehicle. Some forecasters are predicting "Auto Armageddon" for the Auto...- 15

Cold idle issue.
R/C107 SL/SLC ClassHi all. 1973 350SLC D Jetronic So, it fires straight away from cold. I should say that cold here is never below 15C. Then the tickover revs climb slowly to around 1700.
