engine swap question
Hi all
i am a newbie to this forum.I almost read all threats in this forum , and it help me to repair my car ( G300D 1991 460.333 with OM617.931)
For me this engine seems weak.Im my country,we go slowly with low Rpm.
This engine does not give enough torque under 2000rpm.I tried to put a turbo to this engine, but still don't help in low Rpm.
I hope that experienced people can recommend me what to do.
I think i will swap a petrol engine to this car.But i don't know what engine will fit to my gearbox 711.200 ( starter on right side)
I can get M103 from W124 here,but not sure it will fit or not?
It's must be ok with engine 3.0 ( i need about 160-180HP).In city i go slowly with <2500rpm.On hiway i love to feel comfort with 100km/h :D
Please give me some advice. :roll:
Thanks all and sorry for my poá»Âr english ( rather ''Google Translate'' must say sorry )
Some pix of mine:
Turbo from Mitsubishi L200, gives about 8-9 psi at 3500rmp, but under 2000 rpm its weak :
The L200 is a 2.5, id say the turbo peaks at to high RPM, can you try and get turbo from mitsubishi 2.8lt or larger, izuzu maybe ?
You say "In my country, we go slowly with low Rpm.", why is that?
Here is my experience.
I do drive 300GE - 463 equipped with M103.
I've tried both, G300D and G350TD and can tell that G300D acceleration isn't what I expected.
300GE and G350TD accelerate the same(hp ~=) but naturally G350TD has lot more torque available all over the RPM range.
M103 peak power appears 4000-5000 Rpm.
I've being towing 2,5 - 3 ton loads ~100kmph on flat tarmac roads with 300GE without problem.
Be ready for higher fuel consumption when going petrol. M103 can, under load go easily 18 - 20 - 22 l/100km. Normal city/highway mix 16-17 l/100km, highway under 90km/h 12-14 l/100km.
Hi put the Vin/chassis number WDB460............. 17 digits on the forum this will help identify your vehicle build details....from that can be determined what will fit and what will not.......
Hi your 711.200 gearbox is 4 speed and has a removable bell housing to suit either Rh/Lh starter position....if you fitted the 717 series 5 speed Gearbox to your OM 617 engine you would get better low range torque because of the ratio spacings...you would need the five speed G'box... selector and selector arms but a lot easier than retrofitting a petrol engine which is more prone to stall at low speeds anyway.....if you did not change the complete exhaust system to a larger bore the turbo it will not breathe properly...and will spool up later.....also the injector pump needs to set up to deliver fuel earlier...
