I think it's all less of an issue because of that.

Turbos are nice, but I can never seems to find anything affordable with a turbo on the used market.
Not being OBD-compliant is a good point, since it solves all the issues in that matter. You can use any engine, either all-mechanical or electronically-controlled. Would worth to take a look at a Mercedes 240D (yes, the 4-banger one).

If its 4cyl OM616 can move the van below (Spanish-made Mercedes-Benz MB180-D, with an upgraded 79-ish hp version of the engine and a FWD transaxle), wouldn't be a bad option for an S10.
