Hi,

engine has ECU for turbo and fuel pump It can be transferd to a G with out to much hassle,It's the older type 5 clyinder turbo which is a lot better than the CDI range of sprinter enignes as I've found the mark 1 engines much more realiable.120Bhp don't know what the torque is.

Your better off with a 617a engine, 125hp, fits straight in and you only need a down pipe to make an exhaust up.

The 617A is the factory turbo version of the OM617 engine (5 in-line, 3 litre diesel, as fitted to the W460 300GD).

The 617A was offered in Europe only in the W123 300TD (estate) Turbodiesel. In the USA, it was offered also to the W126 300SD Turbo and the W123 300CD Turbo and 300D Turbo.
