Acceleration of a 3L turbo diesel
My friend had a used 3L turbo diesel engine in place of the old 2.4L diesel that expired in his 82 240D.
Should this engine have a lot better acceleration? How much Hp did the 3L turbo engine make new? How much Hp did the 2.4L non turbo engine make new?

It should zoom right on past 100 moh real easy, top end depending on gears and version of 300D engine, 110 to 120 mph.

I believe the horsepower difference is about double, from 60-70hp to 120hp or so.

Top Speed
Somewhere I think I read the top speed (at least on a 300SD - 84) was 106 mph.

If you listen to some people here you could go 150mph........in reality its somewhat over 100, but not a lot.

I cruised mine at a 100 once. It still had some go in it. I don't know how much though. Maybe 110.

Might be able to do better...that was just crusing for a few min. Gets squirly here on oregon roads anything above 135 though becuase of the huge ruts and whatnot. (downhill) |

A 300SD is probably good for 105 maybe just south of 110. My SDL has a bit more power and is probably good for just under 120. But I have yet to test this.

Hattie, his engine speed would be a few single digit rpms shy of 5K in top gear fully locked. |

hehe...na
living in the same town since I was born, knowing almost all the cops by name and where they live, listening to the scanner whenever I am at home, being a high schooler last year, etc etc. I know how to not get caught breaking a law. Besides, I never speed without a friend or two ahead to make sure I don't hit anything or whatnot... suprisingly a safe driver heh Go go ham radios! |
