OM617 - jarow123 - 04-24-2013
hello I'm new here, I would like to ask some options to increase performance on my OM617. Add power and tuned exhaust drop? or set the pump? thank you
RE: OM617 - Simpler=Better - 04-24-2013
Assuming your timing, injector pop pressure, and turbo work check the newbie link in my sig.
RE: OM617 - jarow123 - 04-24-2013
this motor is non turbo ,Is it possible to rebuild the engine turbo?
RE: OM617 - Simpler=Better - 04-24-2013
Yes but-the turbo motors have sodium exhaust valves, a different cam, and oil squirters in the block, and a different injection pump.
If you keep your temps low you can do it.
For NA a tuned exhaust manifold, advanced timing, and pop balanced injectors will get you moving.

When the engine speed will be low and last for turbo?

I had a turbo on my 240d and it worked just fine.
I would not run more than 10 psi on a NA motor as they have smaller rods and pistons and no oil squirts to cool them. and I would get an EGT gauge exhaust gas temperature gauge and and make sure it never goes over 1100*F

Agreed with willbhere4u.
Seems several have done this and had good luck
