Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | Rare 460 G saved Lovely little 460 GD300. 1988. abandoned but found and restored to running condition. The "restoration" took two dogs about 3 hrs and comprised sorting out some electrical gremlins that had caused the last owner to abandon it. Never give up on a G. Whats rare about it. It is an original Turbo intercooled and it runs as sweet as a nut. (GTD 003.jpg) Attachments ---------------- GTD 003.jpg (415KB - 11 downloads) | ||

As far as I know, this was never factory-offered. Cheers It is one of a very small number of rhd 460s that had the factory approved turbo intercooled fitted as a dealer option, I have a copy of the original factory workshop manual detailing how the work should be carried out complete with a parts list. It even details where and how the factory supplied Turbo intercooler badges should be fitted. The kit was supplied by Svensk Turbo Teknik and fitted by TB turbos, aaahhh so thats where they got their knowledge !!! Happy to mail you a copy with the magazine. | ||

hipine Date registered: Jul 2006 Location: US, CO, Bailey Vehicle(s): 460 1980 280GE w. 617A | RE: Rare 460 G saved roughneck - 10/2/2006 2:16 AM ......I have a copy of the original factory workshop manual detailing how the work should be carried out complete with a parts list....... How big a document is this? Would you mind scanning and e-mailing a copy to me? I definitely want to consider intercooling at some time down the road and would like to see as much as I can of different ways MB did (or approved doing) it. If you can, send it to hipine at worldnet dot att dot net. Thanks! -Dave G. | ||

Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | RE: Rare 460 G saved Sure Dave, it is 18 pages and several A3 drawings. more if you want the section on modifying the exhaust system, would it be better snail mailed or put on a disc?

460332 Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Europe Vehicle(s): | RE: Rare 460 G saved There are plenty of old STT G's in Norway, -for those who's interested. The engines last only if real professionals intalled and tuned these turbo kits, due to the fact that the 617 engine is COMPLETELY different from a 617A (ScreenShot080.jpg) (ScreenShot081.jpg) (ScreenShot082.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ScreenShot080.jpg (62KB - 9 downloads) ScreenShot081.jpg (86KB - 9 downloads) ScreenShot082.jpg (82KB - 9 downloads) | ||
