Although I'd love to be a cheap ass and use a competitors low price products, I can tell where good money is spent. After watching many of your videos, I can tell you're a very bright man, and with that, where my money would be well spent. Keep it up! I have two OM617 engines on my side yard that are about to be cleaned up for a donor willy's.

I deleted my factory air filter in exchange for a spectre air filter and it helped a bunch. I have been wondering about turbo rebuild kit, or turbo. I appreciate all your videos. I'm driving a 1983 stock 300D, which I feel performs better than what they say is 120 horsepower. I really like the sound of being able to gain another hundred horsepower out of the injector pump tune. Thanks again.

I have the same turbo. With the manifold off the truck, that turbo will sit directly on the exhaust manifold. What is the purpose of this adapter? Is there a clearance issue I’m about to run into with the down pipe or something?
@stephenmato89632 жыл бұрын
Also, it’s an om617. Seen some subtle differences. The manifold never had an egr on the intake or exhaust from what I can tell. Nobody can invisa weld a delete. All I’m noticing the bracket do it space the turbo out from the block and push it forward as far as my manifold. Is this action needed? No problems cutting exhaust and reworking it.

Happy to see some good solutions for the om617. I’m interested in the exhaust adapter as well (w116/w123). Do you expect to release that version of the kit? Seems like a truly well thought out solution, and certainly more than worth the cost given the time and effort that goes into developing something like this.

There are some good write-ups out there. You have to find an oil feed source. Find a location to drain the oil. And then just buy some OM617a (turbo) manifolds.
@williamgrissom90223 жыл бұрын
The turbo engines had upgraded internal parts, like different pistons and oil squirters in the block shooting under the pistons for cooling. Perhaps the connecting rods differed. That is typical for all turbo engines. If you add a turbo, stay mild on the boost or you may melt pistons.

My parts list is growing! I want the holset turbo and the upgraded pump, if I understand what I am seeing.

If you send your pump to Dieselmeken for the 7.5mm upgrade (which is where I recommend you send yours), you'll want to run the 7cm² turbo I offer to utilize all that extra fuel and keep things cool.
