Question about MW superpump om617
Have a nice extra MW pump from my 85 SD engine. Thinking about shipping it to Diesleminken to build into a superpump 7.5 elements. Have a few questions about it for anyone that might know them.
First, before you ask... yes it's a MW pump. Yes he has gotten some new elements for the MW pump and stated that it should be ready about September after some testing. Why and MW? cause I already own an extra. Ok, what I'm wondering is drive-ability. I'm not adding this to engine to make it a hot rod, just to give me more oomph as a daily driver. Car will still have stock turbo, and stock auto. It's an 85 300TDT Euro, but the gearing is a little lower than the US version of the 85. Have to get under car and look for exact rear. But I've had 2 other 85's and can tell the difference. Feels more like my 83 did. Should I be worried about the auto trans? If I don't hot rod car it should be fine right? I don't want car "rolling coal" I'm assuming I can still control the smoke via the ALDA... stock or (I don't know if he makes an external version like the OM603 pump yet) Car currently cruises at 80 85mpg comfortably and feels like there is plenty to go if I pushed it. MPG should stay around the same as long as I keep foot out of peddle I would guess...? I guess it's kind of new territory, so I'm just wondering if anyone has experience doing something similar. |
