08-02-2011, 07:25 AM #3im sure it was posted here somewhere but i cant find it. does anyone nkow the power handling of a stock om603? i know they can take a pretty good amount stock but what is it like 200? 250? 300?
1998 E300TD 7.5mm pump and hx35 to come!

stock is 148 hp and 200 torque
Tuning with a stock pump can get you close to 180-200hp after that you would need a custom injection pump lot's of money
200 hp and 250 lb is pretty darn good in one of these cars! for reliability and fun

Some bad news though. I was wrenching around today. And here are the results
My turbo has noticable shaft play.
The engine has bad blow by.
There was almost no collant. (what do I use?)
And the oil looksike it hasent been changed since it was made
So im thinking its gonna be a pita.
Head might be cracked.. Ill get a vid up of idle later.
So over all pretty bummed. :/
And to top everything off the rear windows dont work any more(they did yesterday lol)
Im feeling a little defeated. :/

You could definatly get 700 back in parts. If the motor if junk maybe you could swap in another? My windows conk out all the time, most important is drivetrain and safe brakes, steering, et cet.

haha alright. man i hope thats my case. i think sometime today ill do it.
yea i ran it with the inlet off and it sucked a meannn amount of air. one or two fo the fins are damaged. but its does spool... sorta but dosent make that awful noise of contacting the compressor housing.

indeed. my hands are still a bit black from it. i just hate using anything but my hands. ive got used to the feel and if i use the gloves i dont want to be dropping bolts and shit ya know?
but maybe ill give them a second shot.
also. i tried to power break to do a burn out. it really dident like that at all. held at like 2k rpm and dident do anything.. im thinking i got some bad injectors as well like you guys said in my welcome thread. because i know the engine should have plenty of torque for that.

it feels better but i will floor it and it will pull great in first. then it shifts to second and holds basically at 2k ish and dosent feel like its pulling any harder.
i couldent do the seafoam through the injectors because i needed lines and a bottle to suck the shit up. ill get that soon.

Also make sure to bypass that y near the ALDA so it's a direct shot from intake to alda
as far as the brackets i may have a few the plastic clips you can get from some online parts stores, or a Mercedes dealer
here's a thread I made awhile back all of mine where missing 2
http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/show...p?tid=2436\
look around for diesel fuel these lines can and will break or rub through with out the little clips and brackets and cause a miss fire on that cylinder!
For a cheap temporary fix I would run to a junk yard and grab the little plastic clips off of the brake lines near an abs unit on almost any car
I found some really nice looking ones on a newer volvo
I have at least 2 extra of the small metal brackets for the rear three cylinders new from Mercedes! they where $5 each
and the big front bracket was like $18
If you want them let me know i'll sent them to you!

ARV= air recirculation valve that doohickey on the turbo that dumps boost out like a blow of valve but not in a good way
If you search om603 vacuum stuff like arv,egr and what not like blue flying Saussure on google you can fine alot of good articles online
I plan on removing every thing except the power breaks and cruise control on my car after the M.T. conversion
that exhaust leak could cause week boost put a gauge on there it should be reading 10-12 psi

08-04-2011, 08:42 PM #27ill have to do a boost gauge later. i have things that take priority. if i can improve stuff with getting rid of shit and cleaning etc. then im all for it.
and im glad you said something cuz i was about to ask about that stuff. if i could i would like to make the intake as unrestricted as possible.
ie: getting rid of everything except essentials. pcv, filters etc.

Leak oil or coolant. As far as I can tell they stay seprate. The old ass oil probably isent helping with
The blowby.
I think im going to swap it out for 15w-40 turbo diesel synthetic.
So besides blow by and still down on power everything is great, sure suspension squeeks and what not
but I dont mind.

Since the oil change I feel like its a little smoother and blow by is slightly better.

but a question for you guys.
after a full throttle run i will get a buzz like my doors open. but nothings open i cant think of anything that would cause the problem.
unless there is some sort of light that should be accompanying the buzz. any ideas?

im thinking stuck injector. could explain my white smoke on start up. or it could be coolant getting pushed back through a crack in the head :/
when i pull the injectors how can i tell if they are stuck?

There is that old test that everyone talks about. Whilst your motor is running go under the hood and crack open the lines one at a time. Trying to identify where a problem might be. I've done it myself but never gleaned and useful information.

Something like the idle doesn't change when you disconnect 1 of the injectors. Or see what each one does.
