1983 300d rebuild help - wlockerb - 02-28-2011 I am rebuilding my good old 300d and doing some much needed upgrades. I picked up a hx35 turbo for next to nothing and rebuilt it. I am in the process of getting 10mm elements when they come off back order. What kind of power levels can i expect to get? I was thinking of shooting for 400hp. Is this even reasonable to shoot for without engine mods? What kind of boost levels should i expect to use? Anyone who can provide me with some information in respect to any of these areas please feel free to make suggestions. RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - garage - 02-28-2011 Im no expert. But i dont think the stock internals or head can handle 400hp, someone on here knows what the stock engine can handle. RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - DrewGerhan - 03-01-2011 Just a guess but 400hp seems high. Not sure though. On another note, lets see some more pictures of your stack setup!! RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - garage - 03-01-2011 I 2nd the demand for pics of your stack!! RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - George3soccer - 03-01-2011 You can see the Pic slightly in his aviator. Have a talk with brabus. He is actually in the process in trying to achieve 400hp I think so. He has been working in making his own free flow manifold that is intake exhaust. Port and flow the head and a few other modifications to increase flow in the motor. RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - wlockerb - 03-01-2011 good to know. i'll get with brabus. FYI the fender stack was a temporary deal and the hood stack is a 5" chrome genuine truck pull stack. i'm waiting to get the engine back together to do the hood stack installation. I was thinking 400hp was a bit out there but wasnt sure. Most of my background is in gasoline motors. I have a twin turbo 408ci mustang i work on also and it was 400hp at the wheels befor the twin turbos! This diesel thing tends to throw me off my game sometimes. I just dont know what i should shoot for....... At any rate i need an idea of where to start because when the 10mm elements come in i'll need to get it calibrated for my expected power. If i'm close i can just tweak the rack damper. RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - DrewGerhan - 03-01-2011 Where did you get the 10mm elements from, how much $$$ and who is putting them in and tuning the pump? RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - wlockerb - 03-01-2011 its a chinese company called CHJ i think. But its been on back order for a while. I'm waiting for them now. They are for a dt466 with a mw pump. they are cheap to. I am wanting to say like $140 for all the plungers with the delivery valves to! They have an ebay store but you need the bosch part number. it is 1 418 415 019 for the plungers and 1 418 512 012 for the delivery valves. they told me the plungers were 15.50 each. RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - Savitas - 03-12-2011 Have you already get these elements? Do they fit to OM603 pump? (03-01-2011, 06:12 PM)wlockerb its a chinese company called CHJ i think.

RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - wlockerb - 03-13-2011 No i dont have them yet. I am still waiting for them to come off back order. The said they would email me when they are in stock again. They said probably late april. RE: 1983 300d rebuild help - wlockerb - 04-19-2011 Finally got some time to make some progress on the build. Put a current pic in my avatar so check it out!
