Don't cook it. No oil squirters on those 240d pistons.

What kinda turbo do you have lined up?

Rusted out beat down 300d turbo 82' -- RIP
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'

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.
