No announcement yet.

I've secretly always wanted a wagon, so I bought a 1981 300TD W123

      Have you checked those forums? Your TD has a lot of free hp and torque left:p

      Might be interesting for you to look in to!
      Yep yep I've been a member over there since 2009, same screen name as over here. I plan on snagging a backup injection pump, maxing it out, and manual swapping.

      Later on I'll swap in a Myna modded OM606 with a 6 speed. Should be about 425RWHP and 500FT LBS. Hehehehe.

      Good luck with it! I almost bought a 95 E320 estate long before I bought this. Love 124 estates.

                I've yet to do it, but plenty of people in europe do it. Quite a few of them hang out on superturbodiesel.com. Also if you don't want to go Myna you can go dieselmeken, he's cheaper and better quality.

                From what I remember reading the worst part of the swap is replacing the 606 electric injection pump with a 603 mechanical pump.

                                ^ Looks a hell of a lot better in person, it also ties in with the interior colour really well. I was personally opposed to the idea of repainting them, but now I can't wait to see all four done
