Diesel Performance Tuning

Welcome to the new forum.

We've dedicated this forum to those who wish to extract additional performance.........above and beyond factory specifications...........from their diesel Mercedes.

Accordingly, it is requested that all threads be relevant to performance increases and not how to make the vehicle perform to factory specs.

I'll also request to please advise me of any existing threads on DD that should be moved to the new forum.

Thanks.

Wunderbar!

Sorry for all my locked threads. I tend to lock my old ones as time passes and they are no longer relevant to my situation or I just feel like I don't want them brought back to the top.

Here's a detailed guide on how to make the full load adjustment. I suggest reading through all that information then spending a lot of time searching on this site before you make any adjustments to your IP. It's really easy to damage your engine if you're not careful.

Removal of EGR Valve

This is probably old news, but I would like to share my results. Removing the EGR Valve did improve the performance of my car, although it was only considerably noticable in the mornings. The upper part of where the EGR Valve used to sit consists of a simple plate, 1/4 inch aluminum, and the bottom is the remains of the EGR tube. I cut the tube leaving about 3/8" inch. The tube itself slightly narrows. A US quarter fits perfectly inside and it will not push out. Then, I poured in JB weld behind it and let it sit overnight. Next morning, JB weld on the front, but the front only permits a thin coating. The factory clamp goes on perfectly since you are using the original EGR tube, although just 3/8" of it. No leaks, and when you hit the pedel on cooler mornings, the old greazzer will hit 50 mph pretty quickly -- certainly quicker than before with the EGR.

you could simply pump 10 psi,of propane into the intake,and have a switch for full throttle. Instant 100 hp.
