01-15-2012, 10:03 AM #1i noticed a lot of guys running hx40s and such and was wondering if any one has thrown out the idea of small twins on a om617. i have a stock turbo and a h1c off a cummins the motor is going in a diffrent vehicle for the reason i just cant love my mercedes with all the rust and sittin like a trophy truck on ballon tires. whats your thoughts?
but i dont think any one has run dual turbos. not sure it would do that much really.

01-15-2012, 12:01 PM #3you would be suprized i always read that you could olny do like 15psi but then i see 20 and 30 i could make 30 on twins i mess with cummins and my mercedes is just a toy and gets me to school and shit so the real gains would be in the low egts and lots of fuel

If you really want to do compounds, get the pump reworked with new elements $750-$1500, full rebuild (ditto moneywise), GM adapter kit & fitting (ditto moneywise) & then stuff it into an S-10 for a real fun ride.
I am not in any way trying to discourage you. The pump is only capable of so much with stock elements, even after messing with internal adjustments.
If you want a real powerhouse, get a 606 engine with a 603 pump & add 7mm elements. Then, think about compounds or a big VNT. You can also find members that are doing turbo/supercharger compounds.

You can learn to adjust your pump, look up theory on m and m/w pump on this forum. As far as changing your own elements, the problem is you need a machine to test the ip after doing so. there have been some threads on putting the ip in a lathe to run it for testing to at least calibrate the amount per element. I would be a bit careful about this,think this is something better to learn from someone before doing it on your own.

01-18-2012, 09:32 AM #10The answer is no. You cannot set your own pump up for more power efficiently. It requires lots of knowledge plus a $100,000 Bosch Tuning Bench. You can squeak out a few more HP by adjusting the stock pump but to make any real power improvements, you need a Tuned pump.

01-19-2012, 09:04 AM #11you are so smart i didnt even know that...i know i cannot tune the pump on my own i have a shop willing to tune it but i can build it and they can tune it
We have yet to find a stateside tuning facility for pumps, which is the part that we cannot do ourselves, so if you have success, please keep us posted.
jonbobshinigin
01-19-2012, 09:22 AM #12Wow, that had a little bite. My assumption was based on your 6 posts...not because I am trying to sound smart. An HX40 is a lot for a 617...I do not know that I have seen one on anythng but a 60x myself. I doubt the internals could hold up to what one would have to get it to run an HX40.

If it was that easy to build your own pump don't you think the other machinists out there, such as myself, would have done it already? The elements in the pump are precision ground and hardened pieces that have to be lapped to match each other perfectly. You would also need an M pump, the stock MW pump does not have larger elements available for it (yet)
And someone asking about compound or twin turbos on a 617 should be a little more polite to the established members of this site. Do a search, there are plenty of threads on that topic.

You have a machine shop, but what are it's capabilities? presision grinding? I mean in microns not just thou, or 10 thou. If so then maybe you can do your own elements. After all somebody made them to begin with, it really just takes the right equipment and know how. This has gone through my mind, but I know I do not have the right equipment to do it, even though I have a reasonably good machine shop.

01-22-2012, 11:28 AM #15Let me clear up what im asking I have found larger elements I don't want to disclose til I know they will work they are a little pricey I also may have found a pump tuner but there again I don't want to get hopes up til I know they can pull it off...that being said my Benz died this week I blet the front pump seal out of the trans and hadn't touched the internal pump adjustments just puttin some boost in her 20psi and never built heat
(01-22-2012, 11:28 AM)Hotrodbenz ...my Benz died this week I blew the front pump seal out of the trans and hadn't touched the internal pump adjustments just puttin some boost in her 20psi and never built heat
Yes, this is why, before I go for raised hp and torque, I want to beef up my transmission and possibly the rest of the driveline rearward too.
I have a Euro 500SE tranny (722.311 02 179271) which I can cannibalize for parts to strengthen my own transmission, but the question is still hanging out there, unanswered, in my project thread: how much torque and horsepower can the stock W123 300D driveshaft, differential, and CV axles safely handle?
Gone but not forgotten: two W123 sedans and two W124 wagons.

$200.00 ea is pricey, $70.00 to $100.00 ea is middle of the road, $13.00 ea is cheap.
10mms are very common, the 8mms are in very little demand so not many are produced. It is common for a dealer to say yes I can get them, only to find out three months later that he can't because his source is out of them and they are not sure when they will be making more.
They will make some for you, if you order 50 of them or some such amount. I hope you are not holding your breath.
The only real problem I have found with the cheap elements is the way they cut the end of injection helix, basically with a cut off wheel. I have modified the helix to reduce the output on a set of 10mms for a MW, when measured, each elements helix was different than the others out of the box, once reground, they balanced up very nicely.
I am on the edge of my seat to hear the mystery source of the elements and tuner, many have clamed the same, only to never be heard from again.

Hotrodbenz, if you have a source for 10MM elements & peeps that have MW knowledge, you should go for it. But, I would read the report that OM616 has done on IPs. You may ask your IP guy to check out the forum & have a very captive audience.

01-23-2012, 12:56 AM #20I apologize if my response was unclear or seemed rash. My intention was to give you some basics that has already been well documented on here. It is hard to track down and find some info on here, especially when buried in a 30 page thread...so most of us are simply giving you shortcut answers. If you have a source for elements or tuning stateside, I do not see how disclosing it will harm anything. Lots of guys know their stuff here but simply do not have access to the machinery. Right now the guy who can serve us best is Diesel Meiken. He has been the most willing to communicate with us and follow through with the task at hand. Communication alone puts him ahead of Myna in my mind, as I hear it is difficult to communicae with them.

Never heard of the sight. You can get 12mm elements that can be shoe horned into the MW housing, (after some machining to the housing), so volume is not a problem if you can burn it.
The MW pump sections used in many different applications with different governors.
