Zeitgeist (Casey) is working on an uber-Wagon right now, a 1987 300TD which is getting an OM606 turbo engine. I am not sure what his ultimate power goal is but I suspect it's in the 250-300hp range as a minimum, possibly 400+.
My hybrid pump project has finally made progress, with 6mm elements it put out approx 79ccm on the calibration bench. I think that should be good for approx 220hp, assuming there's enough airflow to feed it (with the stock 603.960 turbocharger, that's questionable - but I hope to find out! LOL!) Mine will be a sedan though.
Does anyone in the USA have any OM603 engine beyond 200hp, right now, running & driving? I know of several incomplete projects, but none actually on the road. I was just wondering if mine might be the first...? That is assuming I get the pump installed anytime soon!
