help please
So I decided to finallly put an engine in the 83 300d...engine is from an 85. So you ask what's the problem. Well the turbo on the 85 has an extra valve on it , built into the casting, signals a switchover valve, no problem as to not using it. The problem is the air filter canister/ housing from an earlier car wont fit over it, and I dont have one from an 85. So can anyone out there lend a hand??

Sounds like you got a Cali engine.

You will have to fabricate an aftermarket air filter.

see that big black cylindrical space-hog in the upper right of the pic?
you may want to think twice about installing that due to the price and availabilty of replacement filters for it. Although it is an excellent design, I would consider your own personal replacement as an option first. You are not going to see many cali spec parts on the east coast.

Not a Cal car. Turbo on 85 was different due to additional valve for emmissions stuff....my brothers sd has the same set up...but I cant steal his air filter
 :Can modify existing one if need be... one of our local scavengers (hogweed) may have one.

Look for a turbo/manifolds from an earlier car. I just had a working turbo and manifolds from a 1981 300SD that would fit. It is too bad I got rid of them. You might want to ask John Hef if he has any spares lying around his place...
