606 603 Engine swap
606 603 Engine swap
I also have a brand new 603A FI pump that I could use to convert the 606 to mechanical FI.
I much prefer the 606 motor but unsure of what I need to do to control the boost pressure on the 606 since I will be going full mechanical.
If I can get a clear understanding of what I need to do I will go with the 606 motor.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a 1990 n/a 603 300GD (see photo). I have a nice 603A that I can transplant in. But I also have access to a 99 E300 with a 606A.

Converting the 606 to a pressure-operated wastegate should be easy. Here's the process for the 602.

so I guess the 606 is more efficient,IE more power and mileage. And I hear about people swapping 603 fuel pumps so they can run it without electronics. Does that negate the possibility of having extra power and mileage. And this should probably be in another thread but does the 606 have a ECU that could be made to control 4 ESP and ETS. Which brings me to this question! can 4 ESP and ETS be made to work in an earlier 463, such as one with a 606.

I doubt there's any chance of those later electronics working easily. Course the 606 did come with ASR, which is like a quarter of what ETS is.
The electronic pump has larger pump elements than the manual pump, so an unmodified manual pump will have less power. Mileage will not be affected.
