Hi guys
I can purchase a 2.3 turbo engine from the wreckers, is it possible to swap this into my '89 240 without too many dramas?
Or are there other ways to 'extract' a little more power out of my 240 brick?
regards Michael

You may well have a lot of problems with clearance of the steering gear if RHD car. I think that there are no such problems if LHD.
All the best, Peter.
Check out on both counts with the helpful bunch in

It's been done, it's not impossible but it's not a direct swap. You need the injection and ignition computers, wiring, injectors, and other odds & ends, as well as some custom exhaust work but I did see a website somewhere with some details on doing it.
If you want more power from your existing engine, manual transmission is the place to start if you don't have it already, then a VX or K camshaft and a sport exhaust system, then the car should feel fairly peppy.
where do i get a vx cam shaft in brisbane and is it a straight fit, or do i have change the computer in the car as well.

Dunno about in Brisbane, IPD sells them and will probably ship there, but there's very likely a cheaper source. No other mods are needed, it's just a drop in replacement cam. Fuel economy and low end torque will suffer some but that's the price to pay for more power.
