hey all, newby here. i recently aquired an 83 240D automatic non turbo with lots of body damage from a front end accident. the engine runs strong and full of life, barely any smoke and it doesn't miss a beat while running. so my plans for the engine are, being im a crazy mazda pickup guy, to swap the engine and tranny into a 86-93 mazda b2200 ext cab. being that the car is 4400lbs and the truck is only about 3200lbs i should pick up alittle performance right off the bat with the lower weight. i know the engine is abit of a slug, i just want something reliable, cheap on fuel, and in a b2200 chassis. i do lots of fabrication and have built several custom vehicles in the past.
so my question is i've been reading up and i've heard that the tranny can be adjusted to pep it up a little bit? i've never owned a diesel before but have wanted one forever. any other tips on getting alittle more performance out of this motor? did the 4cyl ever come with a turbo setup on it? thanks

also the rest of the car will be parted out really cheap as i don't need any of the parts beside the engine, tranny, driveshaft, maybe abit of the wiring.













and a little pic of it running.
