Turbo Upgrade w116 300sd
Turbo Upgrade w116 300sd
I spent last week pretty much making the car like new... did all new door/winshield and trunk seals....new Monark Injectors, monark glow plugs... fuel filter.. oil filter.. inline filter.. oil change etc pretty much everything else you could do....
for a 4000 pound car the only thing i dont like is how slow the turbo spools up and the lack of power the car has on take off if i have it in the D position. Is there anyway i can do some simple mods or change to a similar turbo with more better spool and power without jeopordizing the engine and tranny.
im new on here so any help would be great
thanks

Unfortunately, the W116's 722.1 transmission can't handle the increased torque of a faster spooling turbo. It has an overload protection system built-in (see attachments).
Get everything up to spec; valve adjustment, clean the ALDA hose, disable the EGR (1980+), use synthetic oils and maybe adjust the ALDA.
Another option is to update to the later 722.3 transmission, it has no problem handling everything the stock injection pump can throw at it.
