you had to adjust the fuel injector spray to make it turbo. and you had to update the alda to not adjust off atmospheric preasure but to run off the turbo. or you are lying and this is a 300td just with a 240d badge

@BmxDieseldude ok, when you say very few i can believe you. :P ive got a -83 240D 4 speed manual, and i dont think turbo is very necessary since its very steady and powerful but not fast which doesnt matter cus its a car that will go on forever and thats more valuble than going fast in my opinion.

@coolakiIlen007 oh, and all 300D's are turbo 81 and after in america. 1980 and earlier were normally aspirated.

@coolakiIlen007 to make it clear it was never sold from the factory like this however, it is a fairly common swap to throw a 617 turbo into a 240D body, especially for ones with 4 speed manual, because it's much easier to do an engine swap than a transmission one as it bolts up fairly easy vs. making new tranny mount, tranny linkages, clutch system install, customizing drive shaft ext. also there WERE VERY FEW early turbo kits produced for the 240.

@azzgetter what are you talking about? ive never seen a 240D turbo. and for the record like 80% of w123 turbo diesels are in america.. feels like it at least cus all 300D´s are turbo in america.

Mercedesy nie ciekną !!! tylko znaczą swój teren ;)

[tommysbrowncaddy]

@azzgetter its probably a 240D 3.0 dumbass

[idusclothing]

haha, do you mean that because of the motor swap, the car is basicly a 300D with a manual transmission?...

I've been reading your thread on peach parts about when you did this, I am hoping to do the same soon!
