Im looking for better response in my 300D, but also want to keep drive pressure safe. I dont know enough about electronics or vacuum to do a variable geometry turbo.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated Smile

Have you done the needful maintenance? The cars are pretty enjoyable when they are properly tuned with stock parts.

Mine I had to turn 1 1/4 in open end wrench into like a 1 7/8 or some huge size
then stuck a piece of steel (allen wrench) into the hole where the boost line screws in
then used the 3ft pipe to get it out.
I bet there is an easier way and other pumps/aldas may not be so stubborn

Yeah just remember that you have to turn the wrench clockwise to loosen it lol, while holding the ALDA from turning..

After the maintenance, the only real thing to do is install an EGT gauge and start turning up fuel... But when you turn the fuel up, you will need to turn the boost up... When you turn the boost up, you will need a larger turbo.... vicious cycle!

- More fuel
- More boost
- larger turbo

To figure out the turbo, you will need to decide on boost level and then you can size the proper compressor... The new thread by AAA has very good info on doing so and my first reply shows how the stock T3, 45 trim Garrett quickly becomes overworked and too small. I feel a good alternative without buying/modifying/ and fabing a bunch of stuff is to just have a shop install a larger compressor on the stock T3 Garrett. The only thing I dont know about yet is the drive pressure (EMP - Exhaust Manifold Pressure) vs. Boost. I will know shorty when I get my 300D back together...

I have done it with a .50 trim from an OM603. It will give more power at the top end. The losses on the bottom end are not very much.

The main things you need to do to get put an OM603 turbo on an OM617 are the following.

1. Remove studs from the turbine inlet flange.

2. Drill out/enlarge stud holes to the appropriate size of of the studs on your OM617 exhaust manifold.

3. Reclock the center section.

4. Finesse your oil feed and oil return lines(slight angle difference).

5. Come up with a waste gate linkage after you reclock the compressor housing.

6. Either machine a new longer spacer that goes between the compressor out let and the intake manifold or craft some sort of extension. ( i used a plastic conduit size adapter to lengthen my spacer, not a great solution but it works okay)

7. Fight with the turbine out let and down tube a bit

Did you check cam timing while you had the valve cover off? I forgot to do that too last time I adjusted the valves too.

Then I would Time the IP and advance it to about 26, depending on where the cam timing is at...

So....
I pulled the alda off, and in your picture, captain, their is no spring on the pin coming out of the top of the pump?
I tried taking the spring off, and it doesn't hardly run.
Am i missing something here?

Stock bolt on.... KKK K26, it will give you a better response then the Garrett counterpart.

Actually that was larsalan's Pictures, but yes there should be a spring pulling the rod up.

Here is a pic of mine:
[Image: attachment.php?thumbnail=4369]

Careful putting the spring back on! I shot two of them into earths orbit! Tongue

Rod up = max fuel ... When I say max, I mean with the ALDA limiting it (no boost)

Same here. I cant wait to see how it differs from FI's ...

I did notice a difference from ALDA maxed to No ALDA. No ALDA was far better!

But I think my pump is on the lean side anyway...
