How can get more power out of my 1983 Mercedes 240D? 4 cylinders,

If it was a turbo you'd have a lot more options, diesel tuning is easy. Buffet injectors, cams and timing is a good way to start

it aint a turbo tho.
Under the hood is the OM616 four-cylinder diesel engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_OM616 65 HP. SIXTY FIVE for a 3000 lb car.

You could get a better air intake for a nickel and dime of horsepower

The lack of turbo kind of kills a diesel.. Bigger carbs?

I think I just gotta sell it. Find me a benz with a turbo.

101lbs of torque tho. its not much but thats what matters in diesels.

>ITT people that drive those slow diesels at top speed dont know they are destroying the cylinders.

Power is what ultimately matters in any engine or motor. Because that is the measure of "work done"

There is no such thing as a carb'd diesel.


There's a reason why every diesel is turbocharged nowadays.

strip the interior and exterior of any unnecessary bits

Was a 240td made for that model?
