Assuming the injectors on my G are original (27 years old and about 200K + miles) would there be any benefits to replacing them with new ones.

Car starts instantly and runs fine but as always I am looking for more power and economy!

Any advise on how to improve the engine would be appreciated (unfortunately cant afford a 606 transplant)

Who need a 606 when you drive a 230

Brabus offered a 2.6 l engine on the basis of the 230GE (460), delivered 155HP/ 260NM; the main change was an increased stroke; the tuners often used parts from other Mercedes engines, could be an interesting research exercise.

Found this link on another forum but it seems that it was on a 463 http://www.benzworld.org/forums/g-class/1169802-1988-brabus.html seems that Jesus would have the answer !!

I think the use of Nitros injection is illegal here but that is one way to increase power when you need it as it is not a full time system.
