GSXR is NOT a fan of poly bushings for street use. Zero information about the "larger braking system". No mention of why replacement front + rear hubs are shown, and why the photo shows early LCA's. No mention of what LSD is offered but I assume it's Quaife, simply because nothing else is available (besides OS Giken which costs at least twice what Quaife does).

I do like the KW suspension, with the observation it IS NOT A COILOVER. The coils wrap around air, nothing else. Inigo Montoya strikes again.

€25k clams is a lot for what's shown here. I sure hope that includes all labor for installation.




To ensure the newfound power of your Mercedes W124 SG60 is smoothly and safely transferred to the road, our engineers developed performance polyurethane bushings specifically for this conversion. With a hardness of 85Sha, we offer the perfect blend of sportiness and comfort, as befits a Mercedes W124 500E. Paired with a Variant 3 coilover suspension from our partner KW, you'll enjoy a driving experience you couldn't have imagined in your wildest dreams. Additionally, an upgraded brake system is installed to ensure the best possible driving safety for you and your Mercedes.

The following is included in the conversion:

• Stern Garage Performance polyurethane bearing bushes (black) complete
• KW coilover kit variant 3
• Larger braking system
• Supersprint complete system with sports cat
• limited-slip differential

Conversion time approx. 6 weeks

Price: €25,000

No photos of this engine actually installed in a car. No photos of the "OEM look" air filter box. Hrmmm. €50k but paddles and LED cost extra?




Development work is a top priority for us, so our engineers have pooled their expertise and solved the most common problem on the M119 for the final stage of development: the ignition. With our specially developed engine wiring harness, we are able to control the entire ignition system completely electrically, thus eliminating the need for distributor caps.

Since increased performance is always a big topic, we show that the Mercedes W124 500E has nothing to fear from modern cars. With our specially developed supercharger kit, we are able to equip the M119 with an ASA radial compressor, resulting in a significant increase in performance. The whole thing is combined with a performance air filter box in the OEM look, including a pop-off valve, recirculation, and a separate intake.

We also offer the conversion from the standard 4-speed automatic transmission to a more modern 5-speed automatic transmission including oil cooler, with which you will experience an unparalleled upgrade in driving dynamics.

The following is included in the conversion:

• Wiring harness including control unit
• ASA compressor kit including performance air filter box
• 5G-Tronic automatic transmission including oil cooler
  – With shift paddles (optional)
  – With LED display (optional)

Special requests such as a cage, personalized interior, etc. are very welcome!

Conversion time: approx. 6 months

Price: €50,000

Yea, odd that the info goes off line... has anyone inquired on what it takes to ship stateside? I understand it's quite strict out from Germany

Not sure how I feel about a nearly $50k USD build using budget parts. Rumor mill is that their pistons/rods are sourced from Asia, not Germany. Think I'd rather pay $30k for that W210 E60 just for the motor, with no import hassles.

Oic now...

The first shop in the States to offer a proper bolt-on M113 Kompressor with a 722.6 swap for the W124 has a real shot at making serious money.

However W124 with W210 E60 engine AND 722.6 also sounds like pretty promising project.

Pistons from SG are from NK and they only damage the engine as the rings are not alusil compatible

What is NK?

And why would they supply rings not compatible with Alusil cylinders?

 

[Alioking]

Nk is the manufacturer of the pistons and not compatible as i tried them and had an engine damage directly according to the inspection the rings were not compatible

Well for €38k I assume there’s a very extensive warranty for the work done.
