is the manifoil and inlet good enough to handle 300-400hp? Or is it a must to customize? I mean the flow..
or is it better to choose 603 for such an project, is the flow better in this engine?
I will fit it in an old 69' BMW e9 race car.

The exhaust manifold wil "work", but a custom manifold will give you lower exhaust temp and earlier spool up.
The inlet manifold is okay, but with adding 3-5 inces on the runners and a new plenum it is as good as it can be for a om617 head!
Remeber for pushing more than 300-330hp of it, you need to go heavy on the head. A friend of mine in sweden got 400 hp in the engine with a HEAVY modified head, custom grinded cam, double valve springs and ported inn and outlets to the max.

Yez. 603 and 606 will hit that numbers easy. But i like the charm of the om617, so i hope i choose the good old om617

12-22-2010, 05:25 PM #4what is the biggest problem to hit this numbers with the old 617? yes brabus, that's one of the reasons I want to use 617, and the sound is in my opinion much better too.

A 617 will take a LOT of work to reach 300hp, a 603 will just need a turbo and injection pump.

And for the exhaust manifold the euro 603 manifold will flow enough if not kkd makes a wicked exhaust manifold.

12-23-2010, 08:37 AM #8I am not sure, but the 603 manifold is fine, just look for the 603 non turbo intake and build a plenum.
