Quote:turn the pump up?That will just make smoke.
Quote:intake?The factory system is already a free-flowing cold air intake. Since you have an EGR engine you can change the intake over to the 76-80 design that has no butterfly or EGR.

Forced 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.

For 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.
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.

Ah, words of wisdom from a veteran. Don't be a girlyman, throw a turbo on that bitch!
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.
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.

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.
STT made kits for 240's and 300's in Europe and many of them have gone 100k's of km without issue.

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.

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.

Gurkha do you have any documents of the 616 turbo? I'm not questioning you, I just want to see what sort of parts MB was using.
Well in a few years when I have a lot more miles on the turbo set up I'll report how the stock 616 held up.
FI on the Na filled valves are you saying I should expect exhaust valve guide wear soon? I'm not saying I know better then MB, I just use what I got and think it will be fine for many many miles.
On the IP note, wouldn't it be funny if MB used 6mm elements on the 616 turbo.

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).

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.
(03-13-2009, 05:02 AM)Gurkha The company that makes the OM616 here also makes the turbo, both are MB design, there is no input from the India company, this company uses MB parts manufactured locally or German. As I said, the pump used in their OM616 differs from the one used on turbo version. The MB OM616 turbo was designed sometimes during 84-85 for commercial app by Diamler Benz Germany.

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.

Yep both are turbo OM616, the one you posted belongs to a guy named RRNSS who runs the site www.force4x4.com He owns a LWB version called Judo.
