1983 300d rebuild help
1985 300sd is in the rebuild process now, upgraded pump to 8mm elements(if i can ever get parts), hx35 turbo off of a cummins 5.9
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.

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.

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.

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.

Have you already get these elements? Do they fit to OM603 pump?
