1987 Mercedes 190D 2.5 Turbo acceleration with boost readings, HD, good sound.

[69in89]

Does it have cruise control and cup holders?

[Camper1234599]

@69in89 it has cruise, but Ive never used it

no cup holders in any W201 chassis car.

those came to be in the W202.

you must put 7mm elements to diesel pump, then add more diesel pessure.

then close wastegate and turn the boost pressure to 1,9Bar.

then you have 400hp. its tested and works well, and you dont need to modify youre engine,only intercooler you need.

@ronttamersu And then the engine never does 100.000.000km in his live.. ;)

[coolakiIlen007]

@unclewilly2 the merc diesels do go far, but even 100 million kms is a bit enthusiastic.. ;)

my -83 w123 240D has 340 000kms like new mechanically! ;)

[unclewilly2]

@coolakiIlen007 Ph.. Sorry i did a mistake ^^ its realy little little little bit enthusiastic .. Even for a Merc.. :D

[Camper1234599]

if you'd like, I will take some videos along the way, I have a project thread up on MNBMW(dot)com and I upload every picture I take (of cars, anyway) to picasaweb.google(dot)com/EMTte­ch

[blues03]

Did you make it manual yet?

[Camper1234599]

@blues03 I have all the parts, but never did get around to it. the car is getting sold to a collector who is planning to restore it.

[blues03]

@Camper1234599 Ah..I'd like to see it when restored. I want to get mine fixed up a bit as well. What do you plan on buying next?

[Camper1234599]

@blues03 Me too.

I bought a mint E36 M3 with a bad engine, thats my current project.

[blues03]

@Camper1234599 Will you be making any videos of that? I would faithfully watch you restore/show the interior of it. I think you already have one up, in fact.

[acharad]

0.7 bar of boost to %34 power gain comparably to non turbo. (2.5D Non turbos have 94hp) Did MB use an intercooler ?

[Camper1234599]

@acharad no, thats something Im trying to fix.

[Camper1234599]

indeed a shame. the car is superb.

[blkfreedom03]

I know somebody who had a blue 190 2.5 Turbo. Wrecked it being stupid. What a rare car. Shame.

[ATGT5]

automatic gearbox or manual

[Camper1234599]

Automatic until this spring, I have a gearbox, prop shaft, pedals, etc. waiting next to the car in the garage.

[buritobeans]

Do all MB 190 2.5 have turbos??

[Camper1234599]

no, the vast minority do. there are many differences between the 2.5 and the 2.5 turbo cars, a few dead give-aways are:

1.) dual exhaust tips from the muffler

2.) louvers in the passenger front fender for the engine air intake.

[hellman1ak]

@buritobeans no

[Camper1234599]

the speedo reads 10MPH slow @55mph ***
