what are the main engine differences in these cars taking in the emissions factor and the factor all euro engines are kinda beefier then the toned down US model?

(EX): US and EURO non turbo 300ds have different ijection pumps....did they even sale a non turbo in the US after 1981?

Don't know, but here are the production figures:
I think the TD non-turbo should be a 617, but nevermind that.

 

[DieselKraut]

are those just numbers of how many or what?

 

[Gregs300CD]

Well, yes.
I was trying to answer your question of whether or not they made non-turbos after 1981. It seems that they stopped making NA coupes in 1981, but continued to manufacture the NA sedans.
That's all.

Oh i thought so i just mainly want to know the engine spec differences like compression and hp.

Sorry, that was the "don't know" part.

1981 was the last model year for non-turbo diesel W123's in the US market.

The US 300D would have been turbo, with EGR. The 300D turbo was intended for the US market only. All 300 non-turbo diesel was continued til the end for D and TD. Coupes, as mentioned, were ended for 1981 model year. (diesel coupes also only intended only for the US market, so any 300CD in euro form is a virtual unicorn, I have not yet had confirmation one exists)

The IP does vary between US and Euro non-turbos, but the Turbo 300TDs in Euro and US form is shared, at least in style. I doubt the Euro models are made beefier, but perhaps tuned different (without the EGR system to lag on it) in non-turbo form (emissions again) as the turbos were. The factory tuned settings were opened up closer to the Euro standards the last couple years of production.

Hope that helps
