Max power on om602 with 7 mm elements, everything else stock? - Deni - 08-08-2009
Hi,
What do you reckon would be the max power that can achieved with 7 mm elements on a stock om602 (appart from turbo set to about 15 psi)?
Currently with 1 1/4 turns on the full load and 5700 rpm max engine speed (pulls strongly to about 5000 rpm) I reach 1250 F at about 140 kph in 3rd at about 5000 rpm flat out. Though I need shorter bursts of power like 0-50 mph for quick pull off and 60 - 80 mph for highway.
The car is no slouch with the lpg injection, but want to keep it diesel only.

Larger elements will inject the same amount of fuel in shorter time. I don't know how much the difference will be but it should run more efficiently and cooler.

How much power can I get from 15 psi worth of air? I know the answer is far more complicated as it depends on many factors, but roughly speaking.

Roughly, I'd bet 140-150hp since the engine already makes 120 on 12psi.
