Mercedes' engineers weren't a bunch of dummies, they designed the engine pretty well from the start. They just made a few compromises on the intake manifold to meet emissions limits. Unfortunately you're limited by the natural airflow through the engine and adding a turbo would significantly shorten its lifespan since it wasn't made to handle the added stress like the turbo 300's were. That shouldn't stop you from adding one but in the end it may be easier to swap the engine from a 300D.

03-09-2009, 07:12 PM #3Forced is right, the only way your going to get any extra power over stock is to add a turbo. I have been running my 240 with a turbo for more then 23k miles. I have not had any troubles yet, and the extra power is great. My MPG's are up to, as I get just under 34 at every fill up, and that's on winter diesel.

Basically, just get a 5 cylinder or a 6cylinder engine and put it in there. Making significant power increases out of the 4cyl would involve spending lots and lots of money. However, I have speculated before that with some minor modifications like piston oilers, a different camshaft, turbo pistons, and a myna pump the 4cyl would make a sweet performance engine...

You have speculated correctly but after the cost of parts, machining the block, custom camshaft and custom high flow oil pump, you could have done a basic rebuild on an OM617.95x for as much or cheaper.

I turned up the IP and added an EGT probe and modified a 300dt tach to read in degrees C. So I can read from 0 - 600+ C on the tach instead of RPM. Its good enough as I don't go over 525 unless the RPM's are to low to make boost and I've been full throttle up a hill for a long time. I also added a 280E economy meter that read from 2 to 12 psi. I have limited boost to 15psi, but only get it up that high at red line.
Here is a link to the photos of the initial install. I have a different intake now and it boosts a lot faster with the new one.

03-11-2009, 04:33 PM #9For me it was cheap, free turbo (td04hl from a volvo 850R), cheap exhaust manifold (~90 EUR), intake from an early 617 but cut down to fit the 616. Full 300dt exhaust, I had to replace my rusty 240d exhaust and it was cheaper to buy a 300dt exhaust. ALDA from junk yard....ummmm what else. Turbo feed was some brake line I had laying around, just bent up and brazed on a banjo on the end. I had to mod the pan for turbo oil return, but I had the fitting in the shed.

The turbo needs good amount mods, engine crank needs to be strengthened, exhaust valves are sodium filled, oil pump is chain driven, oil cooler is needed for the oil squirter pistons. Lastly, new pump is needed.

The best mod for this engine apart from turbo is modifying it to the MB factory spec of 72BHP, this is the OM616 used in Gelande Wagen G240 as well as Tempo Traveler and few other commercial vehicles from MB. Combined with the slick euro 5 speed, it gives a good pep to the vehicle, the engine revs higher as well so the 5 speed comes in real handy. Best of all this mod doesn't need any drastic engine work, the only thing tweaked is the pump and the rear governor unit of the pump which is replaced. The fuel delivery is increased and so is the timing spill. Also the injection pressure is raised to 120bar.

Not really. The differences between the turbo and non turbo MW-pump is the ALDA and governor settings. They have the same 5.5mm plungers and the same governor.

Quote: engine crank needs to be strengthenedI had not heard of cranks breaking in the 616 or 617's before. I think the crank is fine unless your making huge power or at least more then the 5.5mm elements can provide.
Quote:exhaust valves are sodium filledThe exhaust valves do not have to be sodium filled, many turbo diesel's and turbo gasser's have run very high EGT's without them.
Quote:oil pump is chain drivenThe oil pump seems to have plenty of volume for my car.
Quote:oil cooler is neededAll w123 diesel's in the US got oil cooler's although the 300 is much larger then the 240.
Quote:oil squirter pistonsI don't have piston squirter and they are only needed if your really pushing the engine with high EGT's.
All these things would be nice to have and I consider them an over build as MB did to the diesels, but not necessary.
If I had the money and time I would just get a 300dt and plop that in but I had a 240D with 120k miles and wanted more power. I had an professional race engine builder with 30yr+ experience telling me to "DO ITTTT!!" so I did.

MB added nitrided crank to the OM616 turbo as well as 617 turbo pump, exhaust valves and pistons. I have removed the muffer on my 616 turbo to gain better throttle response as well as lower operating temps and EGT.
After 128000 kilometers, I have miniscule oil consumption between changes and my compression pressure is stock. I guess all the extra steps MB took is paying off.
I for one would rather go for the 72BHP mod and keep reliability than go for the bolt on turbo route. If it works out with turbo, more power to you.

The moly coated oil squirter pistons, exhaust valves, oil pump, oil cooler and crank come from Germany and have the MB stamp on them. In fact its nothing else but a 617 turbo minus one cylinder.

I've disassembled 616 and 617a MW pumps and they are mechanically and functionally identical, just one cylinder different. If you wanted to make a 616 MW into a turbo pump all you would need is an ALDA in place of the ADA, internal governor settings changed and a back plate with a rack damper pin (which is generally useless).

I fully believe you, in this case the part numbers are different, also the older n/a pump was actuated with vacuum from the intake, this pump is directly connected by a rod which goes straight to the acclelerator. Also there is no ALDA in this pump.

Here is the engine sold in India. It looks little like a 616 except the basic form. The IP is nothing like what was used in the USA. Its similar to the M-pump but with mechanical shutoff instead of vacuum.

The guy said that there is nearly no part that is interchangeable with MB 616.
I.e. the length of the complete engine is increased to make the larger oil pump fit. This means that iron bloc, head just everything is different. According his words nothing comes from MB and twice nothing from Germany.
Otherwise he would have sold something to me (for my friend's 240D).
Just give me some MB part numbers to check out whether these are available here in Germany.

The parts are from 617 turbo which includes the squirter MB pistons, the duplex chain driven oil pump which all fit in the OM616 block. The oil cooler is BEHR Germany standard. I shall be posting pics of the engine details including the pump ASAP.

Some time ago I contacted the exclusive import company for the TEMPO... here in Germany to get parts or part numbers and technical details.
The guy said that there is nearly no part that is interchangeable with MB 616.
I.e. the length of the complete engine is increased to make the larger oil pump fit. This means that iron bloc, head just everything is different. According his words nothing comes from MB and twice nothing from Germany.
Otherwise he would have sold something to me (for my friend's 240D).
Just give me some MB part numbers to check out whether these are available here in Germany.

The parts are from 617 turbo which includes the squirter MB pistons, the duplex chain driven oil pump which all fit in the OM616 block. The oil cooler is BEHR Germany standard. I shall be posting pics of the engine details including the pump ASAP.

(03-14-2009, 01:34 AM)tomnik Hi,
I am talking of the basic engine, bloc, crank shaft, head,...
If I get these, the rest is easy.
Post the engine# then I can ask in MB.

Here is the breakup.........the block and head are made in India by Force and basically they are the same OM616 block that they have been making. The crank is nitrided and is available as a part, the pistons, oil pump are German and the exhaust valve is from EVL India. So bascially all the parts are available on order.

(03-13-2009, 07:04 AM)ForcedInduction Here is the engine sold in India. It looks little like a 616 except the basic form. The IP is nothing like what was used in the USA. Its similar to the M-pump but with mechanical shutoff instead of vacuum.
That looks like an A pump.
