Do you guys really have mw-pumps on your cars?85300D kirjoitti:Hello. I am looking for information on how to properly make about 300hp to the wheels of my 1985 300D. There is not much information in the U.S. from people who have actually done this. I know that the injection pump will have to be modified with larger elements (likely have to swap in an m-pump in place of my mw-pump). How large of elements will I need? For a turbo I was thinking of using a holset hy35, or a borgwarner s256. Some kind of intercooler (air to air or air to water) will be installed. Will I need to add an electronic lift pump to help supply fuel to the injection pump? Will I be able to use the factory intake an exhaust manifolds, or are they so restrictive that I will have to build new manifolds? Will the cylinder head flow enough air, or is porting it a must? Which fuel injectors are recommended? I was thinking of using the monarch injectors if they will be a good match. Will the pre-combustion chambers need modified? Is there anything that I am missing for the engine to be able to make the power? Will I need to worry about blowing a head gasket, or bending the connecting rods? What transmission and drive-line modifications will I need? Will I be able to build the stock trans with additional clutches, etc. to hold the power? I know this is a lot of questions, and I greatly appreciate any help.![]()
Thank you,

Okay I didnt notice that. Then its a bit harder to get 300hp but it can be done85300D kirjoitti:Thank you for the reply. My 1985 300D is a w123 with the 617a. It is also an automatic. Everywhere I read says the finns know how to build mercs!
Same way that with om60385300D kirjoitti:Great. Would you be able to share some details?
Only way you can prevent the gasket from blowing is a metallic gasket but I don't know is there any of them available for the 617 engine. Or there is another way, keep boost under 30 psi85300D kirjoitti:Oh, I was under the impression that the 617's were much more difficult to get power out of than the 603's. Are there head studs available (like ARP) to keep from blowing a gasket? Do I need to install an electric lift pump to help supply fuel to the injection pump?
