(07-18-2010, 05:57 PM)JTY(07-17-2010, 11:58 AM)cgoodwin I am looking for information on increasing the performance of the OM617, I find pleanty on the OM603 but little on the 617. I am looking to get 260-300hp and expect to use a different turbo, intercooler, modded pump (Myna) but was hoping to get some real world figures before I dig in. Anyone gotten this kind of HP from the 617?
There's no problems getting 250-300hp from 617A, but only with 617A.
Normal 617 can't handle the increased stress, been there than that
Just get yoruself M-pump with 7mm elements, good exaust manifold, good intake and bigger turbo. Very simple
You can check my 300SD superturbo project for some info.
I'm a noob to this site(not to performance tuning however) and it seems like a great resource. Like cgoodwin, I'm interested to learn what a built 617A w/ larger turbo, a-a or a-w i/c, modded IP, 2.5-3" exhaust, etc, will do for both hp and more importantly tq. Sadly even after searching on this site, there doesn't seem to be 1-3 popular "starter" setups(ie Garrett GTx turbo, i/c from x source, IP from x source, DP from x source) for use on a 617A, but instead a wide mishmash of turbos and i/c's and such(I can understand why as many are grabbing turbos from other junkyard TD applications, ebay i/c's, etc).
It just makes it difficult for the noob's to know what works the best, and for even veterans to compare with each other, as with SOOOO many different setups, comparing them all is fruitless.
