Re: [diesel_mercedes] Doing some R&D need your help

 

Barry the diesel engine has WAY more compression for the cylinders, which is why it runs without spark plugs. The fuel/air mixture heats up so much on compression that is ignites on it's own. The glow plugs are just for starting only.

I'm finding out that the turbo engine has oil sprayed under the piston to cool it and the compression need to be lower but I thought that was on gas motors does the diesel take a higher compression to run I though that it was that way but I now nothing, thanks anyway.

The non-turbo engine has 23:1 cr, the turbo engine is 21:1, I think the difference is in the pistons..

Hi guys
I just found my self buying a 1979 300d 123
and then I found a turbo set up all the parts are there everything off a 79 turbo 300D what's the chance I can put it on my car with not a lot of trouble.
Is there a big difference between the two engines? Please someone give me some good news. Thank you for any advice you could give.
Barry,
