upgrade from w123 to w124
i have a g class model 1989 gd300 (engine w123 5 cylinder Diesel) . i want to replace the engine and the gearbox to w124 engine so which best engine is suitable for my car ? turbo or without turbo
i mean by the word best, the fuel consumption and power
later w124s ran with the 3 litre six cylinder multivalve engine, this is highly reguarded for refinement (by diesel standards) and durability, in the saloon it would achieve low 30's for its mpg, in 12v form this engine was also the standard diesel in the 463 sold in the UK but fuel consumption is naturally worse. This engine shoves out 100bhp so an improvement on the 5 cylinder but still not great. Why not simply turbo your existing engine?
