That car has the later 4 valve 6 cylinder in it. That engine tweaked right will churn out 500+ whp.

Later body style but same engine in this car That's a 400 meter run in Finland at 10.684 and 128.9mph!!!

Another w124 making 400+ whp

Hey towcat here are several videos of the Benz you posted
i was hoping to see a early motor under the hood.-cuss
the '87 and up motors do make the power but the cost of repairs and the need of repairs keep me away from them.
I did have a 190D 2.5 na for a summer. that thing was snotty fast for no turbo. I sold it to another member here and his family drove the wheels off of it.

The limiter on on the W123 bodies is the MW pump for now. There is a guy here state side that has a Myna built M-Pump on his OM617.952 and it laid down an uncorrected 145WHP, but he REALLY needs a turbo because the smoke never cleared up.

Here is his dyno sheet:

You must be registered for see images attach

The 118HP run was with the boost at the factory 10psi. The 145HP run was with waste gate disabled

And here is a video

As far as I know that is the highest HP OM617 in the US.

Wow...just wow!
