Also, has anyone ever put a propane injection system on their W124? I have looked into this, but havent found much information about it.

I know it has been a while but I was caught up in some other stuff for a long time. Dave, have you gotten a name of that place in the central valley? thanks a lot man

any news on the swap? I am still looking to do this, but first I will be gettin a new suspension and intercooler....

thanks. How soon are you looking to do this? Be sure to let me know how the bolting up goes....what is the final ratio of the tranmission in the car now? If it is 1:1 then that is fine because it wouldnt be any different in the 16V tranny for cruising. I hear that the E500 differential is a much bet...

ok so at this point, my question is, can I use the transmission from a 190E 2.3-16V? Will this bolt up to the '87 300D engine? if not, will this tranmission bolt up to the 1986 300E manual tranny bellhousing? I know this is a tranmission for a 4 cly that would live in the high RPM range, but couldnt...

i understand that the automatic transmissions wouldnt be interchangeable, but I am more concerned about a manual swap. what are the gear ratios for the 5spd manual from the 300E

ok then. i have asked before if the transmission/bellhosing and such from a 300E manual from 1986 would work on a 1987 300D turbo, and i got no for a response. will this bolt up or no? if no, why?

ok, check that, my question should have been do they have the same bolt pattern on the transmission? between the 1987 300D turbos and the 1987 300E gas

I havea quick transmission question regarding the differences between the trannys of the 1986/87 3.0L gasoline engine and the 3.0L diesel engine. Did this two cars use the same transmission?

what mods were done to the W123 diesel, and that black 201 that beat the 'vette?

my friend has a 1999 300D turbo. I would like to know if these are modified in europe. i understand that they cost more there, and thier electronic fuel systems arent as easy to work on, but i would still like to see if there are any suggestions for minor power upgrades.

sorry for the poor sentence structure. Right now my best bet would be to buy a W201 190D 5spd, swap in a 190E2.3 16V tranny and a 2.5L 5cyl turbo motor? ok, sounds good. now, what modifications are needed to get that to push out 300-350 horsepower(more is good too :twisted: )? also, do i need an upg...

Ok, im sorry, i must not have seen your comment. are these engines better than the 3.0L 5cyl from the early 80's? Also, can these engine be made to around 300 horsepower while still being reliable? Thanks for the reply

steve

Also, i would rather have your input in not perfect english than no input at all.

Right now my question is what engine can be swapped in to a 1985 190D 2.2L that can make some good power, while still bolting to the manual transmission, and how hard is it?

Thanks,
stephen

does that 3.0L bolt to the 5 speed existing in the car?

how hard is it to swap the 2.5 in there? what about the 3.0L 6 cyl? will either of these bolt to the manual transmission?

thanks for quick response

steve

hey you fools, you should be beaten for your senseless dieselcars, when i think about the pollution. when you have no money for power in a car, just let it be. Here we talk about diesel smoke, that is a problem actually and really assholes and motherfuckers like you nordian stupid and ugly idiots d...

hey, i have the oppurtunity for a 1985 190D 2.2L. I would like to make this around a 200Hp car if possible, but i need to know how much work it is. The thing that really turns me on to this car is it is a 5speed. Can mods be done to it, or is the injection type to premative for good power? Thanks a ...

Sorry to be a bother, but those ads are made by Mastercard. still funny.

Hello all, as you know, I am very interested in building a superturbo. I think I have most everything figured out, but I still want to see if I could put a manual tranny in. I now know that these cars never came with manual trannys in them, but, people have said that is has been converted over there...

Thanks for the info all... I actaully have thought about getting rid of the AC since it doesnt work anyways. So removing the AC will not be a problem. Is there a way I can keep the AC, in case I want it fixed? I live in the bay area, and I im interested in this person you are speaking about, Dave. A...

Thanks, Is there any particular brand IC? Or can I get one custom made for a reasonable price? Anyone know what is involved in strengthening a tranny? Sending the injector pump to finland, sending a tranny is quite another. I am really seriousl about building around 350-400HP superdiesel. Thanks -St...

Hey all, I am trying to build a superdiesel, and I plan on gettting an HX-40, but what ic should i get, and how can i get the fuel pump the way i need it? I saw someone had a custom header, do i need that? can my exhaust shop make it? What else do I need? Thanks, I know about these engines, but I do...

Thanks, the propane is illegal here too, but if they dont catch you.....I probably wont end up doing that. Ok, how much for the injector pump to be reworked? What is the process of strengthening the auto trans? The car presently has 150K miles. Will I need a rebuild or not? I was actaully planning o...

Hey all new here, after 3 tries I have finally made it with the help of an online translator. :wink: . I also live in calif, and currently own a 123 and 124 diesel. In the paper I have seen 1987's for sale a lot with many miles on them and they are pretty cheap. I would like to restore if you will o...
