New Member Greetings! - Purplecomputer - 09-28-2011
Hey everyone i finally decided i would join and tell you all about myself
im Angelo From New York and i own an 1979 240D W123 with 202k miles on the clock. Its a 4 speed manual and i currently run it on WVO
Ill post pictures of my car tomorrow when its not dark or rainy out.
My next project on the car is to add a turbo to it thanks with the help from a PM session between me and willbhere4u .

Don't cook it. No oil squirters on those 240d pistons.
What kinda turbo do you have lined up?

I am well aware of that, which is why it was advised to keep it under 10psi. Im not sure I was advised to modify the intake and exhaust manifolds from a 617 and use a turbo from a 300. I am planning to swap out the engines but that wont be until the summer time when im off from school

Alright, there is a sticky thread here called like 'turbo information' or some such. There are mainly 2 turbos that come with a om617. Prolly want the smaller/faster spooling of the two.
and an intercooler?

i was thinking about an intercooler. This would help to keep down temps right? Im sure i could fasten a small intercooler to the system

supposed to keep the intake mani cooler and that's where it all begins. Prolly add like $2-300 to the project.
