Would new nozzles help my car?
I've a 1985 300D Turbo (CA model) and as far as I know the injectors and nozzles are original. Who knows though with this car.
Anyway, the car starts up perfectly after the glow plug light goes on with not too much smoke. No pinging or nailing or knocking or any bad noises, just a nice 617 idle. Power could be better but I have not timed the IP or had it done (how much would a mechanic charge for this?) The power when im on the highway in 4th gear is rather crappy. I'll give it most throttle I can without hitting the kickdown and there will be some extra noise and then after a couple seconds it will slowly start accelerating. It will probably go 100mph but will take forever to get there. MPG around town is about 20. Best I've ever gotten is 100% highway @ 25mpg.
Last time I checked the 0-60 was 15 seconds or so. I have dragging rear calipers, Not too bad but they should be changed soon. I have some extra money and was wondering if people think the Bozio nozzles would help any with power and fuel consumption.
