18 seconds. Thats downhill in a 190D. I thought I was being pushed.

I don't know about 60, but I have a rough time from 0 - 55 with the accelerator to the floor. I'm ashamed to say it's over 40 seconds, and blows a plume of raw fuel from the tailpipe the entire time. Too darn slow, and uses a ton of fuel... I need better injectors, obviously.

My '77 300D progress thread

Of course, I assume the majority of everyone's 0-60 time is in the 0-25 range... once mine hits third gear the 30-60 is maybe 3-4 seconds (out of an 11 sec. total time).

My best so far has been 9.06sec using a g-tech. I have a '92 190D 2.5 turbo 5sp. It was while trying out LPG and had the boost set to about 14.5psi.

Uh, you are making a mistake somewhere, have some serious power mods, cheating or have a mechanical error. 14/15 from a 240D and 9.6 from a W123 300D simply ain't possible in stock form.

well, if he has g-tech pro and he has a boost gauge i would be guessing that he has turned up the IP to allow for the higher boost levels wich he was running at 14.5 psi.

1981 240d (engine donor 1983 240d) recently rebuilt engine hurray! - No more.. fought a tree and the tree won.

pearl black 1983 240d 4speed (Converted!@$$%) atleast the tranny was rebuilt.

He would have to max out the pump to get hose kind of times. That still does not explain how his 240D gained about 50hp worth of acceleration.

That's why modifications are so fun!
Reset the IP for 27* BTDC and increased fuel delivery slightly on both. 240 D had a total head over haul with new valves and a new 2 1/4 exhaust with thrush mufflers, EGR removed and and the transmission shift pattern set to shift a little tighter and higher RPM's than stock at last rebuild!

300 D got a new performance exhaust and higher trubo boost. Same Auto shift pattern as 240. Will get cylinder heard overhaul with slight porting performed like 240 D.

Both running B100 biodiesel and Lucas friction modifiers in egine oil.

slap a shift kit in the tranny and chrome valve covers, put some drags on the rear and smaller wheels on the front and a wheelie bar on the rear just incase you get too much of a launch

That's still nowhere near the extra ~50hp both would need to get those 0-60 times.

Increasing the fuel delivery "slightly" isn't going to add anywhere near enough power to cut 4 seconds off the 300D's 0-60. The 240D isn't going to loose 4 seconds without a turbo and nearly doubling it's horsepower.

I call BS, again. This has come up in the past and you have never brought out any proof of your 0-60 claims. Video, g-tech, dyno, 1/4mile time slip, nothing.

Well, what are yours doing? I suppose I could take a video when I get the time. What the hell is a G-Tech? Dyno's are stationary devices useful for power out put at the rear whells or driving wheels.

See post #14:

So your 240 has a 5 cylinder 300 D engine?

Maybie a video would help? anything to support the times would be great, maybie a picture of the g-tech meter showing your time?
