300zee Hello everyone I am a new member to your forum and from what I have seen in the other posts it looks like you are all pretty well educated in the workings of MB engines, so here goes

Question#1 I don't actually own a diesel yet but I am considering installing an OM617 into my 72' Datsun 240z is there a specific year or casting# I should look for? I also want to use manual (it has a 4 speed right now) hopefully with modifications it can surpass the stock performance and MPG (151HP/149TQ & 18/23) What do you guys think?

Question#2 I also own a 85' 300zx turbo (air intake, 3 inch exhaust, 10 psi 209rwhp@5600rpm/241lb-ft@3200rpm) my question is my car uses Bosch style injectors 240cc and I am looking to upgrade and have heard that the Mercedes 420sel uses the same type injectors but with double the flow rate does anyone know what year they started using EFI instead of mechanical injection?, thanks

With those injectors and reworked regulator with a NPR intercooler I plan on running around 15psi hopefully around 300 lb-ft at the rear wheels Sounds good to me what do you guys think?
#1 Perhaps you want an OM602 or OM603 as OM617 will top out around 200 probably.
#2 Go ask on mercedesshop.com or benzworld.org
