Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / May 20061997 300D Horsepower?
I just purchased a 1997 300D. What is the "published" horsepower on this engine? Has anybody increased the hp with addons short of a turbo? Thanks! 77 HP. Forget about add-ons. 1997 was just 77HP? I thought that in 1995 MB introduced a 134HP diesel engine for the 300-class. > 77 HP. > > Forget about add-ons. OOPs -- Missed a couple of decades there - read it and thought 1977! Thankfully the world has moved beyond 77 HP engines - even if I haven't! For 1997? That's the same engine as mine... 134HP. and 155 ft-lbs torque. No performance mod available... you can't simply slap on Turbo to this engine. You got 5 speed tranny which should be set to S(tandard) mode... should be zippy enough. Diesel are to be driven like a madman when accelerating... and like a grandma when coasting. Now that's more like it! I drive more like a granny than a madman anyway. :) > For 1997?

I sure hope it's not 77hp! My first tricycle had more than that. :-( > 77 HP. > > Forget about add-ons.
