The om442LA was Mercedes's masterpiece! 14.62 litres, rated at 480 b.h.p and fitted in the new (in 1989) 1748 truck. It was fantastic on fuel. The LA in the title refers to Turbocharged and Intercooled. The 442 couldn't meet euro 1 so it was replaced by its predecessor the 422 in about 92.
The next version down was the OM442A rated at 350 BHP and fitted in the 1735.
OM442 without any other letters was rated at 290 BHP and naturally aspirated.
Well, the turbo charged car has a turbo hooked up to the engine. What a turbo basically does is to force feed the engine with more air + fuel, making it possible to get more power out of a smaller engine.
naturally aspirated engines mean any engine without a turbo or supercharger. take case of Mercedes AMG cars A Mercedes C63 AMG is a detuned version of a 6.2L engine that's natural with no super or turbo charged. A Mercedes S65 AMG has two turbos with a V12, that's not natural, its getting power boost from the turbos.
its a turbo charged 3 liter engine
yes
IF it is Turbo charged then that would be the turbo.
no .. transmissions are reversed..
Yes
It would be cheaper and easier to get a td engine and drop it in.
A turbo can be installed on any car with a (other than rocket) combustion engine.
No only if its got a 't' in it. It will be 70 BHP diesel, same as 1.6 petrol (But all Diesel engines are a "turbo" - it's how the diesel engine works." All diesel engines are not turbo charged !!! The easiest way to identify if the engine is turbo charged is to look at the exhaust manifold and see if you can see a turbo, a normally aspirated engine will have the exhaust pipe straight on to the manifold a turbo charged engine will have what look like bulges in the manifold area with a small rod and vacuum pipe (this controls the waste gate). On the 306 the easiest way to identify either way is to open the bonnet and look at the engine, if there is a unit on top of the engine that looks like the radiator this is the 'intercooler' and the engine is turbo charged if this is not present and there is a black air box then this is normally aspirated and does not have a turbo !!
TDI stands for Turbo-charged Direct Injection
There were two different engines in the 1988 Supras(MKIII) there was the turbo-charged 7MGTE inline 6 engine, and the N/A 7MGE which was not turbo-charged.
