Old Rajay Turbo Kit 240d
Old Rajay Turbo Kit 240d
the two throttle bodies are not pictured because i had to strip out the guts and grind off the excess mettle and they are at the shop next door getting the holes welded up I have also clocked the intake on the turbo inlet downward instead of up wards to go to an air filter note i have to drill and tap two holes in the turbo! I got an oil filter housing off a 617 turbo for my oil supply to the turbo

06-22-2009, 05:57 PM #1I picked up this turbo kit from a junk yard in an old storage van its been sitting 20years it was off of a 1974 240d the only parts left where the Rajay turbo with throttle body bolted on and the exhaust elbow adapter to the stock manifold but i found a 1975 exhaust manifold and a 1971 220d intake manifold here are some pics I'm putting it on a 1980 240d with a 4spd stick for my dad here are some pics of the parts I have so far! so far i have about $170 invested with paint and welding

all you need to get that working is to swap the back plate off the donor to the filter housing on your car... I accidentally grabbed a N/A engine's oil filter housing (i think thats the same as the 240s) when I was powdercoating a bunch of stuff and didnt realize the oil lines came off of it... anyway, I just swapped the back plate over and installed it... you might wanna swap it over anyway since the filter housing does tend to leak after 20+ years...

There is no waste gate on this set up it had a small bleed valve on the intake originally I"m going to put on a air compressor pressure regulator in the glove box so I can adjust the bleed in the car while I"m driving! I don't know how well this will work but I'll let you guys know I'm going for 5-6 psi
I'll take more pics as I get it installed and setup and ill make some vids of it running!
my dad likes his 240 4spd and I couldn't talk him into a 617 turbo because It runs to darn good but this will be just as cool
I"m doing a 617turbo and 4spd in my 240d auto. I will compare them when I have finished

I'm plan on putting a Holset XY on my 617 turbo 240 4spd project with 20 25 psi boost with an inter cooler! I would also like to put bigger elements in the pump as well! I need the AIR first to keep it cool!!!! and need to find some one to grind my cam a bit! and do a little port work i would like 180-200hp and 400-500TQ we will see how the 4spd holds up 2 some abuse it only has 32k miles
back on the kit! I wet to a shop that deals with tubes and hoses and got a fitting for the back of the oil filter housing to adapt it to an-6 to match the turbo oil feed fitting! once I get it mounted and measured they will make me a custom line. I also got a an-10 fitting for the oil return! To fit in the upper oil pan where the stock drain is in the 617 turbo engine I just have to drill and bolt it in! I have to replace the lower oil pan any ways as it is dented but I have a new one and a gasket I will take some pics tomorrow if I get a chance its pretty slick

Man that is too cool to find the kit and the article, I think there is enough info with all the Merc. diesel guys to do a book on Mercedes Turbo Diesel performance. By the end of the year I will have alot of data from my pyle and F.I. is always working on mad diesel development as well as all of you, maybe we can get some input from the Finn's?

Thats great! The more that show up the better. I'll have to get hold of Tom Judd and let him know whats going on.
Any info on how you can turn up the fuel? I don't know much about how the pneumatically governed pumps work. If you can find/write a guide I'll put it in with the main adjustment article. EDIT: Never mind, I forgot you've got a W123 240D and not a W115.

The MW for turbo and non are identical except for the ADA/ALDA. Adjustment of the torque capsule, adjustment/removal of the rack limiter and an ALDA swap are all thats needed to make it the same as a 617a pump -1 cylinder.

Quote:I have the ADA full rich now so dose the ALDA have any benefit?You must turn up the pump to make more power with the extra air. Since your turbo is slow to spool (non wastegated) you'll probably need an ALDA to limit fuel just to keep EGTs in the safe range.

Normal. Thats exactly how my M-Pump was until I turned up the fuel.
In other news I figured out that the turbo isn't spinning fast enough to get 5 psi boost until the car is at red line with no leaks! I opened a 1/4in leak in the intake manifold and it boost much sooner but not as much up high so I need to bleed it to the right amount to get the turbo in it's efficiency range! bleed a to much not good! To little and it doesn't like that either
What I need is an adjustable bleed valve that closes under pressure gradually so it bleeds until its got good speed and pressure going???

Did you adjust the torque capsule? (I've got the two-tab sockets if you need them). That will give you more fuel on the top end. Does it smoke much?
I wish the turbo could hit higher boost numbers 90% of the time it is between 0-3 psi

07-29-2009, 08:34 PM #40I didn't adjust the TC yet! It doesn't smoke much more than it did other day? the turbo injectors nail a bit at idle and cause it to idle rough!
I wish the turbo could hit higher boost numbers 90% of the time it is between 0-3 psi

08-01-2009, 07:20 PM #41Here are some pic of the kit finished and tided up a bit! I ended up putting a straight pipe on the car because the exhaust broke between the mufflers last Thursday it sounds interesting now! but makes boost sooner than before! It now hits 5psi in 2nd gear and 7psi in 4th at 70mph! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1WtXc79Ymk

Are you running a line to the ADA or did you swap an ALDA on?

08-01-2009, 08:12 PM #43I put the ALDA on but it wouldn't make boost! not enough fuel to light it off I guess? so I put the ADA back on lots more power!!! I also ran a boost line to the ADA port I don't think that it makes a big difference though! see you at the track!

I'm starting to be impressed with this setup as I passed cars all the way up a steep hill on I 25 doing 75-80 mph with 1/4 throttle and I had to let off to keep from going to fast! never done that before!!! also the EGT's never got over 1050 deg F

08-05-2009, 05:56 PM #44Well the bleed valve fell off some time on the way home from the race track Sunday so I plugged the hole and now it doesn't need it any more with the rack limiter removed! I also put the stock rebuilt 240 injectors back in and it runs a lot better on the top end!!! and the turbo is now making boost earlier and hitting 8-9 psi at 75-85! Now I need to get a turbo 300d oil cooler and radiator and a new thermostat it's running warm under load up hill 225ish deg F. I should also put in a fan clutch at the same time!

I seriously doubt the performance claim is factual, the M117 had 190hp/278tq and thats a big stretch to best even today.
