is there antyhing to do to a 83 300CD ?

im not looking to make it into a moster (i already have one ;) ). BUT, making it more responsive would be a plus, BIGTIME. im not looking to twin turbo it or anything crazy. just looking for cheap bolt ones that will show me some improvents.

anything ?

thanks all...

upgrade to 300CD

Hi,

I have the same thing you do, but my car has 465,000 miles on it. I have been saying when my diesel finally dies, Im going to put in a 500E engine or a 500 euro or something like that, but I dont think that my car will die. 500E has a lot of electronics, so I might opt for the 500euro or a 560 euro engine.

I havent found any bolt on mods for my diesel yet, a k& n doesnt help much. You can shim the governer, but then you are just dumping in more fuel that it can burn.

What have you considered? How much are you willing to spend?
