First, I would like to remove the stock air cleaner assembly and replace it, probably with one of those large fram filters, and was just wondering if there is anything special I should know when doing this, and along with this what is the best way to deal with the pcv system?
Secondly, I intend to swap some manifolds in off of a '79 that dond have all of that egr crap on there and would like to know if there is going to be anything that will make this more difficult than it needs to be?
And finally, since I just discovered the exhaust down tube is sheared off at the lower end I was thinking about just removing everything after that since it isn't doing anything or possibly straight piping it, but for some reason my dad is trying to convince me that it will negatively affect performance and fuel economy but I dont see how that is possible.
Thanks

10-27-2011, 09:58 PM #2if you put an straight pipe its going to be cheaper on fuel and has more power earlier because the turbo will spool faster,remember,if your alda its maxed,the engine without boost its smoking a lot,just when the turbo kicks in the smoke goes away and the engine produces more power,with the same amount of diesel

The exhaust manifold is cake. If you have the individual runner 115 manifold then you just need to figure out how to attach the boost tube to it.
I am sorry to say but your pops is wrong. If it was a gas engine without turbo, he would be right, but this is different. My downpipe ends where it starts to curve underneath the car.... Shoots at the pavement. I LOVE IT!

10-28-2011, 02:35 PM #4Thanks Captain, I came to same conclusion about the exhaust. With the road draft tube setup how much oil can I expect to lose since it isn't being recirculated back into the engine?

Let us know how you do. I draft my ccv and just keep a gallon of rotella in the trunk to top off. I notice oil consumption is exaggerated when I run long and hot like 80 mph+ road trips. Otherwise it is just a little bit.
Probably like 1/4 quart per week and I drive about 350miles a week.
Those ccv are poison anyway. There are some experts here that will tell you about all the nasties that are in that gas.

The oil consumption really depends on how much blow-by there is... When I first bought my SD, it had quite a bit and the oil cap would hop on the valve cover... made me worry. But after driving it the way I drive (somewhat hard) vs. the granny way normal old folk drive these cars, the blow-by almost completely disappeared. I really don't notice any oil consumption, so it just depends

The fram 8038 is smaller than the 8037, right? I have one of each and the larger of the two is a bit crammed in there for my taste.
Also the steel tube to the ol pan needs to be plugged or dealt with in some way.

Yeah, make sure to save that oem 90 on the valve cover. There is very little clearance there between the hood. The draft tube can be 3/4in heater hose I think.

Venting the oil to the ground is not a super thing to do to the road or the environment. Use a old 240D oil sep unit and then vent to a gatorade bottle filled with fishing line and a large hole on the top of it. The fishing line filled bottle collects the remaining oil vapor. I did this a 20 months ago and have collected about a cup of oil in it. The real question is why you want to change the original air filter set up. It certainly provides great air filtering and is not a drag on the system. Getting a fram filter will not get you any more power with the stock IP unless the IP is highly modified. Removing the rest of the exhaust will get you more power, and sooner in the rpm range. Beware, some think straight pipe is too loud and it drones at some speeds. The non egr exhaust manifold is a better unit and it's swap is straight forward with no tricks.

10-30-2011, 12:44 AM #13Awesome, all great to know! Im actually toying with a few oil separator ideas but since Im probably not gonna be putting the new filter setup in for a while I haven't decided yet. The exhaust is definitely gonna go and I hope to see some sort of power increase from that. And for the rest of my to do list, after setting IP timing and the manifold swap, I hope to work on the turbo to get more boost and then the IP modification comes next

Is that so? How is hot ass exhaust being recirculated into your motor supposed to control the overall temp?

I found this in the emissions control section of the Haynes manual under the "Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System (US models)"
"1. The EGR system meters exhaust gases into the engine induction system through passages cast into the intake manifold. From there the exhaust gases pass into the fuel/air mixture for the purpose of lowering combustion temperatures, thereby reducing the amount of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) formed."
And then it goes on to say problems associated with the egr system include poor performance, more smoke, poor combustion, and knocking under load. Hence my going to do away with it
In any case I still think it would be nice to have one

I don't get how that works. I guess there might be some way using nasty hot gas that didn't burn the first time around in liue of, some nice cool air and fresh fuel can lower exhaust temps.
Doesn't sound good to me right off the bat though.

11-05-2011, 01:53 AM #31Manifolds it is then, I'll be ordering a new gasket tomorrow. Also installed a boost gauge and was surprised the car still puts out the stock 8 lbs. I came to the conclusion the car is louder because the stock air box was directing the sound of the broken exhaust pipe downwards, and since it is now gone it resononates under the hood some. Probably gonna go see what straight piping will cost in the next week or so because I like being able to hear the radio lol

Doesn't sound good to me right off the bat though.
Like Dieselboy said, the idea is to add non-reacting gas to the combustion process through the EGR because the exhaust gas has almost no more oxygen available. So less fuel will burn.
Of course that doesn´t help performance. German W123 with OM617a never had an EGR system and have 125HP stock instead of 115HP stock like the US-versions. (but not only because of the missing EGR system)

11-07-2011, 03:11 AM #37Im not sure If I correctly understand how this thing works? Basically it uses boost pressure (tee into ALDA line?) to control the wastegate actuator?

11-08-2011, 01:24 AM #39So the two ports with hose barbs would essentially be connected in series into the the line from the compressor housing to the wastegate actuator? So it is preventing/delaying the boost pressure from reaching the actuator until the set boost pushes the bearing back. If that's correct then it makes perfect sense now

11-08-2011, 07:17 AM #43Yeah I'd rather pay a little more for the convenience at this point, although I probably wont be doing anything with the turbo until after I swap manifolds

Yeah I plan on ordering one of those boost controllers sooon, since its probably gonna be a little while until I have the time to swap manifolds, especially since I don't have the gaskets yet haha, but the guy at napa said he was gonna order them tomorrow morning so we'll see what happens

Adjusting the wastegate takes about 1 give or take for me. Feels like longer though cause of the frustrating little parts and the tiny area they are in.
