Torque/HP ratings for 2.5 Turbo engine (602)

[Jetmugg]

I'm looking for the torque/HP ratings for the engine in my '87 190D 2.5 Turbo.

Does anyone have them handy?

I believe it's 121 hp and 165 ft./lbs. torque at 2400 rpm; that's for the 300D 2.5T 602 motor. Some say 125 hp.

That doesn't sound like a great deal of torque, especially considering the fair HP output

eg to compare to Audi's 1991 2.5 TDi five cylinder - 115bhp and 195 lb ft. That one is a strong engine, if the Mercedes 2.5 pulls like that then I would love a 190D 2.5 Turbo!!

He's a Euro link that gives 123.7 PS, which I assume is about 124 HP, for an '87. No torque rating given:

Here's another from the MShop forum, with hp and tq breakdowns:

Torque does seem low considering my 1.9l TDI put out 155 ft./lbs at 1900 rpms stock, and with chip now delivers more than 200 ft./lbs.
