(07-18-2018, 07:28 PM)atypicalguy There is no reason to go chasing the high rpm. Max power is about 5-5500 typically. Then it's time to shift.
Springs are probably not a bad idea although at that power level it doesn't seem like you need much boost.
Interesting, I will still install the stiffer A611 springs, but I guess I'll forgo revving it more than 6k or so. I suppose I'd be choking the engine using the stock manifold at that point anyways.
I went with the 603 pump also but in retrospect erx probably has the right idea with an electronic pump, Ole controller running a larger VNT than stock, and Baldur's stuff for pump control. Then you have a pretty modern-ish setup with excellent drivability.
I didn't grab the engine computer. The module box was wide open, so I'm sure the ME is toast now. My understanding is I can still run a VNT with Ole's controller, e-pump or not. The car is going to be more of a race car. Between HDPE, Auto-x, Rally-x, etc.
There isn't a whole lot of room for a big air to air but it would be easy to put some in-line axial flow coolers in and put little water radiators in the wheel wells.
The W123 has plenty of room, especially with the condenser removed. I have plenty of room for a big AA intercooler in front of the radiator, and smaller trans and oil coolers behind the headlamp housing. With the foglamps removed, I get plenty of airflow..
Let me know if you would like to sell the pump from your motor :-)
I was planning on putting the 6mm elements from it in to another OM603 pump and install the OM603 currently in my coupe in to my daily driver 300TD and selling the current freshly resealed OM617. I'm not opposed to selling the E-pump to fund the 606 build though!
