I have an 82 240D and I love that car, so does my wife,,, for the
most part. See I'm the slow paced, take your time, enjoy the drive,
kinda guy and my wife, wellllll lets just say she wants to get
there. I don't mind down shifting on hills (spent years as a long-
haul driver)I'm just happy I only have to do it once or twice. My
wife she isn't so fond of the chore. If only I could get just a
little more hutspa (spelling?) from this little motor. Now I realize
I'm not going to be burning any rubber or climbing a 9% grade in
fourth gear and accellorating all the way, and neither is she, just
a little more. I realize, and have explained to her that this motor
in it's displacement size is only a little bigger that some
motorcycle engines. But, she still wants to get there.
Reason I inquiring on this is I am purchasing a Dodge 2500 w/
Cummins 5.9L six-banger and in looking into the engine I discovered
endless power enhancements (mostly from this site) from simple alterations to complex setups such as tourque plates,govenor springs, bigger and double turbos, etc,etc,
and a very wide range of corrisonding horsepower (and tourque)
increases.
Now to my question, is anything like this possible with my little
2400cc NA put-put? Has anybody tried 'turning it up a notch'? Mind
you, again, I don't expect a drag machine and I CAN'T spend a bundle of money, so adding a turbo (if it's possible) is out of the
question, I'm just lookin' for little tweaks.
Any ideas would be greatly accepted!!!! Tips and how-to's would be great too!!
If not I'll keep lookin' for the 300TD.
