some turbo 240 history http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/call...t-456.html

Its cool, but I still think you'll be much better off with a more modern turbo.

Nice job. I had a Corvair that I built an EFI system for and used the original Rajay that I made into a Hybrid using a larger Rajay compressor wheel and housing - I was able to get 20 lbs. of boost and 300 h.p.

I think it should work quite well and you are maintaining a bit of nostaglia with this set up...

I had a 1963 corviar turbo 4spd convertible never had enough money or time to work on it and sold it suck!

It works well but has big turbo lag I would like to put more fuel in it and an external waste gate and see if this help

My plan is to put this engine/turbo in a 1967 Mercedes 200d

Does that Rajay FB40 have any oil cooling at all? I noticed that Fengler's setup with the 220 motors didn't have any. How is the car running?

Every turbo ever made is oil cooled.

It runs great but lacks on power still it's better than stock but more fuel is needed the turbo has to have oil for lubrication /cooling of the bearing or it would be destroyed in seconds!

I suppose the more pertinent question is where are the oil line connections? The Rajay's I have seen albeit very briefly in-situ seemed to hide them.

Well the BBQ paint didn't hold up its all gone and the rust is back but the VHT flat black is still holding up well on my dads car!

Sorry for the long break it's been about 6 months since I've driven this car!

So I installed a new thermostat and upper radiator hose and it runs right on Temp no more over heating above 75mph and no more over cooling below 55mph! Also put some Redline diesel fuel catalyst in the tank and it runs great all of my warm idle nailing is gone and it idle smooth as a baby's butt!

At times it use to sound like a hammer tapping on the block it would nail so bad!

And on my last tank I got 29.2mpg! about 3 mpg better than ever! at least since since the turbo install! and all of the work
I did was on 6 mo old 1/2 empty tank with mixed driving!

Now I found a tiny diesel leak at the copper washer on top of the fuel filter and one leaking injector cross over hose that's next on the list! Along with installing my oil temp gauge and sensor!

And I'm in desperate need of a taller ratio rear diff/speedo or 5spd!!! so I can cruise 75mph with out being at dam near redline/8psi boost! That really kills my millage on a full tank doing 75mph all week to work my mileage drops off to about 24-25mpg and at 55-65mph I was getting just 27-28mpg! and touching boost with light throttle around 2psi at 65mph!

The history I got the 240d for $500 delivered from Nebraska for my dad with a recently rebuilt engine and they told me it had a bad clutch which ended up working fine! As it turned out it got put in two gears at speed due to worn shifter bushings the end result 1st,reverse got pushed out the side of the trans case I then drove it with out fluid! to my shop 30 miles away with only a noisy 2,3,4 gears!

I had a spare trans laying around in my shop that someone had donated to me for my other car! 2hr later we had it running like a champ then I got the turbo kit and got it installed

My dad got another 300d with a bad engine I traded him my really good 617 turbo out of my 1980 300sd I still think he got the beater deal!

I call it my test mule once I get it running just right its engine is going into my other 240d with the manual sun roof and power windows 16" wheels and vented brakes and the list goes on

I also have a brand new clutch kit for it and a really good 32k transmission for it

Now I'm just waiting for some vacation time!

The post is cool but maybe you should discuss the modern turbo.

I want to mod the turbo 5 cylinder manifold to fit the 4 cylinder and use a stock k26 turbo off a 300d

The K26 isn't very efficient. Maybe a T3 from a Rabbit/Golf since its got the smaller .36 turbine?

Any thing would be an improvement!

Well I am swapping this engine & manual transmission In to my 1980 green 240d witch is currently an auto but it has a manual sunroof and power windows and euro lights with my hella fog lights like in my pic

I take some pics later but the reason behind all of this work it move my very nice running turbo motor from the car it in currently witch is striped out rust bucket!

Aw come on, nothing but some duct tape covered with bondo would fix.



.

finally some real progress i got the engine and trans out of the green auto car

Then I pulled the transmission & engine out of the blue 240 turbo 4spd car

Then I noticed the lower LH rad support was rusted out so I cut out some patch panels out of my blue car and welded them in i realized I had to pull the LH fender off witch was made of bondo and rust with a lite coat of paint to make it look nice on my green car

luckily my blue car had a nice replacement fender the only nice part of the car! and because it had already been replaced it was not glued on! hell yea!

If you didn't know from the factory they are glued on the top edge and almost impossibly to remove with out destroying them! it took my 2 hours to get the off my green car and 15min to pull the one off the blue car!

next week I need to patch the lower rocker and bolt up my fender and put the turbo engine in!

More progress I got the 4spd transmission installed with a new transmission mount

I've decided to order 2 new Guibo couplers for the drive shaft and new oil cooler lines and a new high pressure power searing line.

I already have a new drive shaft center support bearing, trans mount,engine mounts and engine shock
