has any one done this or heard of someone who did. my car is like new in & out. w/105k mi. looking to make the all time cruser w/it. i am a ase cert. master mechanic. but have not heard of any one w act experince with this, and alltho i own a merc. i do not genrealy work on them. can you advence the pump? is there a bigger pump avable? injectors? wastegate mods? psi increase? any reply.

What are you after the wow factor or power?.....The injection pump may be a problem but there is a guy in Long Beach, CA that can answer about if the injection pump can provide for more boost--Dumars Diesel not sure on the spelling but he is the one..I asked him about this myself when I wanted to a 68 280SE coupe i had which uses a similiar injection pump, I don't remember his answer....but I must say you are a bit mad and I mean crazy and I do mean that in a nice way....

This forum is better for these types of questions and you will have many members with similar gols: http://schumanautomotive.com/forums/...splay.php?f=19

Twin turbo is impractical for a few reasons.
1: You have 5 cylinders, simple math will tell you that 5 does not divide by 2 very well.
2: Compounding turbos is not necessary, there are dozens of turbo models that can supply more air than your engine could ever imagine of consuming.
3: VNT/VGT turbo technology has made twin turbos obsolete, old technology, and over complicated.
4: Space. The real estate is very valuable in a W123 engine compartment, especially when an intercooler is involved.

Call Joe Dumas (Dumas Diesel)

it's a diesel you have enogh torque, why you want more power?

JosephFloyd

any one tell about the Twin turbo is mechanism and it functional specification..
it u know to access the model of engines...

I have a SPARE front mount intercooler (like in this picture [ but a little different design]) that I would be willing to sell...

who makes that intercooler?

BF_JC230

The one in the picture I mocked up - and www.Wizardcooling.com welded up...I mocked up a second and that was welded up by my uncle...I changed pipe design and that one I could sell...

Thanks,
Jake

It looks like a very good job.

Check with scheiddiesel.com and they build performance pumps and Injectors. They can crank up the flow on yours if you want.

240D 3.0T

Actually they can't. They don't have a first clue about how to tune for our engines. Also, there is nothing to be gained by modifying the injectors of indirect injection engines.

There is also a superturbodiesel web site.

What makes you say that? Have you had experience with them? I'd like to know because they are doing my pump work and injectors. I know they have a lot of diesel experience in performance and seem pretty knowledgable. They upped my fuel flow on both the pump and injectors as well as upped the pressure so i can advance my pump.

240D 3.0T

They have no experience with the Bosch MW pump, its RW governor or indirect injection diesels.

Experience with low-speed direct injection diesels does not translate over to high-speed IDI diesels. Its like comparing a PC to a MAC, similar in theory but very different in practice. Where the pickups make all their power down low, take tons of boost and don't like to be revved, the MB engines start to wake up at high rpms and don't take much boost.

Why? The stock injectors already flow freely enough to support 110hp/cylinder. All they'll do is kill drivability and increase emissions.
Direct injection injectors benefit from larger holes because the nozzle has to spray through multiple tiny orifices (usually 9 of them). Indirect injection injectors have no orifices so increasing their size only reduces atomization quality.

Increasing fuel pressure can be done by anybody with a 13mm wrench and pressure doesn't affect timing. The pump runs the same with 3psi of pressure as it does with 30psi.
Increasing pop pressure retards timing, so advancing your pump merely brings timing back to where it needs to be. Increasing pop pressure also has no effect on performance.

Sending the pump and injectors to Scheid will return you a maximum of 20hp, no matter what they do, because the stock pump simply can't pump any more fuel into the engine.
You could have gotten that 20hp for free (link) after about 2 hours work in your driveway removing the pump's fuel rack limiter.

The only way to significantly increase power is to replace the pump's 5.5mm elements with larger versions so more fuel can be injected safely.

Hmm. so i wouldnt benefit at all from bigger nozzles? I was goin to go stock but they said it would cost like $100 more so i went with the performance ones. I am rebuilding the engine now so any help i could get would be appreciated. I trusted the info that they were giving me. I was also going to upgrade to a t3/t4 hybrid. Is this a bad idea? How much boost is to much with head studs? I just want more power. what will removing the fuel rack limitter give me? While i have you here I would like to ask another question. Will a 4 speed from a 79 240d work with my 300d? I have a donar car available.

wlockerb

Also why do others claim more performance from extruded nozzles? Isn't this the same as getting bigger nozzles?

240D 3.0T

No. The only thing you'll get is smoke.

Very. Spool up is much worse and trying to push more than 14psi of boost just makes it surge due to the engine's low volumetric efficiency. The stock turbo can handle everything the stock pump can give out.
When upgrading the turbo its best to stay away from the ancient T-series and KKK turbos. They're inefficient and have a narrow operating range.

The stock engine is good for upwards of 25psiboost.

20hp for short periods before the long injection duration makes the exhaust temperatures unsafe.

Yes.

Again, those are direct injection engines.

thank you for your help. I am great with gas engines and am just starting to get into diesels. While i understand the basics there is a lot for me to learn.
