![]() Dream swap = Mercedes Benz 2.7L 5-cylinder TDi into a 164.
No, I don't know why either. But it would be several degrees of awesomeness even beyond the project in this thread. tim

![]() I know pretty much nothing about that engine. So I won't judge. But care to explain why? You have a 2.3L and you want to replace it with a 1.9L.

![]() You know nothing about the engine. Things it has over the belovid 2.3 would be; ability to run on a varity of renewable fuels, mpg thats just not possable on a gas engine, significantly less weight, engine sits behind the front axle moving the polar moment back, torque, and most of all its just differnt different. My previous car was a 500whp 2.4l DSM. I dont need another fast car. I want to play with something different.

![]() very nice swap... a 240 is a great usable car, the diesel makes it even better!
the bolt pattern isn't the same as the older 6 cylinder diesel? I'd like a D5 engine in a 240. chipped 226 hp and 350 ft/lbs... pretty sick. but you are going for even more hp ![]()

![]() its typical of most modern tdi engines. getting to maximum torque at around 2000rpm up until about 4000rpm, I believe this is why they are low hp. hear hear I say, well done that man.
