The standard IP? Not alot. Id guess just the remap.

Any turbo can be suited, it just depends on your goals - low down torque, top end power, reduced lagg etc.

In the uk? Find a diesel specialist.

I believe KKD is a popular one for exhaust mani.

(02-03-2012, 04:58 PM)Booster First off hello! Been watching the forum for a while and you all seem very helpful as apposed to many other forums!

How much power can be made on the OM605 with the standard IP?

What turbo is best suited to this engine? I was thinking a holset hx35?

Is that far too big for the standard IP?

If the IP needs altering who in the UK can do it?

Also what Nitrous oxide set ups are people using? Any images or info would be great.

Also exhaust manifolds? Would like to have ago at making my own but unsure if its best to just buy one.

I would like 250bhp any more would be nice but dont want to be doing head work and internals yet. Who can i get the elements from? I have seen the manifolds your on about but dont like the idea of £550 .maybe second hand?
Any info of nitrous on 505's?
I also want as little to no smoke so would rather have a laggier turbo but enough air to rid.the smoke.

Cheers

Yeah £550 is a bit steep, but i think its more of a "no one else makes them" sort of thing. Unless you can read / speak swedish / finnish etc.

With more power you are going to get more smoke, you can only control it so far.

Talking about my Floyd elements for M pumps: 60 EUR/piece.
Let me know if you find someone who can produce them cheaper and I buy from you (same quality of course).

No need to speak or read Swedish or Finnish dieselmeken will come up with his own elements (or already has them available).

As long as injection duration is kept short and you supply enough air (not just increasing boost but in relation to the injected fuel) you can have power without smoke.

@booster: safe the money for the manifold until you definitely know that you need more power than the stock mani can do.
The modified pump is necessary anyway and can later be adapted for even more fuel.
And don't go too large for the turbo. This will keep it clean.

(02-04-2012, 04:32 PM)erling66 When you tune an engine for more power there are things that you must have, should have and would be cool to have. So the important thing is to start with the must have first. And that is more fuel and air. So you need larger elements installed (should be by a professional like PP diesel, Myna or Dieselmeken) and a larger turbo. If you go used turbo, Holset are cheap and good. Or new: look at the Master power sold by Antonmies(on this forum).
Then comes the should have: larger intercooler, better exhaust manifold, larger exhaust after turbo. The cool to have list is endless
You can have a race diesel engine and don't make smoke(Jeemu with his 550hp OM605 can drive all day without making any smoke) You just don't push the pedal all the way to the floor
About Nitrous oxide: forget it unless you are building a race engine and need it to win.

(02-04-2012, 06:09 PM)Palmer Have you by any chance seen waynes thread? called "A challenge for dieselmeken"

He sent his pump to dieselmeken and he slapped it on a test bench and set up his pump and shipped it back, at a price of course.

You arent limited to turbos on the standard mani as no decent big turbo will be a straight bolt up so an adapter needs to me made.

Its probably worth mentioning that if you still with the electric IP it will need a remap. The alternative is to fit a manual IP from a om602. Thats what i intend to do on my 605.

(02-05-2012, 01:39 PM)Palmer If you know someone who can map then its less hassle than a manual pump conversion.

Also makes more sense to have an exhaust mani rather than spend money on adapter plates. Killing 2 birds with one stone etc.

Im presuming this OM605 is in a C250 as you're in the UK?

Yeh c250,

I Just don't see the point using the standard mani if I have to use an adapter, Might as well get the welder out and make my own. Or find a second hand one!
