Awesome dude!

Looks great, let us know the performance details if you have them, 0-60 1/4 mile or dyno if you have it.

Cheers!
Bill

Nice mods!! Did you turn up the full load stop? Please give 0-60 times.

Photobucket is a great way to post large pictures online and it's free, just have to deal with their pop ups.

I'm interested to see what can be done without all the fab work on the exhaust end with perhaps a modified KKK turbo.

I second this question... if you haven't tweaked the full load stop, you'll be in for a surprise when you do. There's a lot more power to be had there. Otherwise you're just increasing power down low, due to boost building faster, but not picking up any top-end gains. Some 0-60 times via stopwatch would be nice, too.

Yeah, well that was because Ridge (who did this beautiful W123 intercooler install) not only insisted that no IP adjustments were necessary to gain power, he resolutely refused to provide any performance data at all. It's not that hard to find a flat road and use a stopwatch to get some approximate numbers.

It's nice that somebody was able to install a VNT turbo.

What model turbo is that? (The 2.7L sprinter uses a GT22V and I've seen a GT25V on eBay.) I can almost make out GT32V, but the picture is not clear enough to be sure.

You should be able to convert a normal actuator from a wastegated turbo to take place of that vacuum unit.

still no pix of the turbo setup

I see M53 on the Garrett. What model of MB is this?

After re-reading the tread, I see no mention of a fuel adjustment

...if that is the case nice installation and nice fab job but you really didn't finish the job by actually USING your higher boost and intercooler.

Have a pyrometer?


Amazing how much faster a car seems after a few days worth of hard work...haha.

Not to bash you but you need to get some 0-60 times for us...and/or some actual numbers from something.

As I have stated before in this forum before in a different thread More Boost = More Power in a diesel engine. Increased air in the cylinders gives the combustion heat more material to produce work with. More fuel isn't required to get more power, however the ability to burn more fuel leaves room for a signifigant increase by adding fuel.

Now I need to watch the junkyards for a VGT and intercooler of a 320


By the way bsaladna ... Did your mileage improve any or have you been unable to keep your foot out of it?

Okay then explain to me why running 30psi boost feels no different and ACTS no different than running 10psi boost...

Anyone else care to chime in?

This is totally false.

Adding compressed air to the engine can't allow the engine to produce any more torque, unless you add more fuel.

Have any doubt about this? Disconnect the line from the manifold to the ALDA that allows the rack to advance. Then take it for a 0-60 run. You still have most of the boost but none of the additional fuel. The vehicle will be slow as hell.

Fuel makes torque. You simply need to get air into the cylinders to use the additional fuel.

Well according to simulations I did in a previous thread Wrapping the exhaust before the turbo

In a totally ideal diesel cycle 7.25 PSI boost yeilds an 11.9% gain in power over no boost for the same energy added. This is an ideal situation however with no heat loss, friction, etc... The numbers predicted won't hold true in real life but the trend of increased power will.

The gains seen by boost alone won't be nearly as appearent as burning more fuel however.

The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy. Perpetual motion machines cannot be real, and internal combustion engines do not produce power by cramming additional air in alone.
