3.5 IP in 3.0 603?
Can a 3.5 IP and injectors function reasonably in a 3.0 603? Can I adjust the ALDA to compensate for 15% less displacement? If I have to go with a 3.0 IP, can I keep the 3.5 injectors?
Thanks, Sixto 93 300SD |

If I remember correctly, the injectors between the 3.0 and the 3.5 are identical. It's the prechamber angle that changes between certain version. FSM makes no distinction between 3.5 and 3.0...only 603 and 602.
as for IP, no clue. BC should be able to tell just by comparing part numbers in his stable

If the IP from a 603 will bolt to a 606, I'd bet it will work between a 3.0-3.5

There's no fitment problem. I'm guessing the control rod sensor, idle actuator and throttle connections won't be a problem. What concerns me is the extra 15% of fuel the 3.5 IP thinks the engine needs.

It should work without any noticeable problem.
I know for certain that the IP of a 603.961 will work in a 603.971. The lifters too. And the camshaft. The IP seemed not to have the same pickup as the 603.971 pump, but actually made the car run much quieter and smoother. And for some reason, it seemed that the computer control functioned more precisely when the 603.961 pump was in the 3.5, i.e., the idle would raise up and settle back down, like on a gas powered car does, when the car is first started after sitting overnight.
The injectors would not fit in my car. The 3.5 injector threads are near the bottom of the injector body as opposed to the 3.0 threads being about a quarter of an inch higher toward the middle of the injector body, which made them not fit. Also, I believe the thread pitch is different, as well. BenzDiesel |

Maybe that's why the changed thread pitch, to make sure you couldn't mix and match the prechambers and injectors that would not work well together.

Injectors are not a problem since I have the complete head off the 3.5. These injectors work with the IP from the same car (duh). I'm wondering if I'll leave a trail of unburned fuel because there's 15% less engine than the fuel system expects.

The 3.5L also revs lower too at WOT. I'm still going to ship it to ya when I get back.

You can increase or decrease the fuel supply using "gxsr's" information.

DISCLAIMER: This information is for 603 Engines. I had a runaway on a 617 and I believe it had something to do with not putting that "fuel shutoff" component back on properly that allowed the engine to run (wide open and uncontrollably) until it threw a rod and busted out the side of the engine and busted the transmission too! So be careful when messing with that fuel control!!!! Like maybe have the driveshaft disconnected when experimenting on the OM617 fuel controls.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the pump in question is from a W140, so it's not the earlier lower HP output model (because the governor kicked in at an earlier rpm). This pump should work just fine; it has the same size plunger/barrel assemblies, so it's good to go. The IPs are interchangeable between .96 and .97
The h2o-pump housing is slightly different, as the .97 models have a second temp sensor built in. Other than that, most items should be a straight swap between the two. |

There's no internal calibration for the greater displacement of the .97?
Quote:
The front cover might be different since the .96 dipstick is at the front of the engine vs the .97 dipstick beside the IP. I hope the archive chronicle these discussions for the next sap... uh... person who takes this path. Sixto 93 300SD |

15% more fuel is not a problem. If the 3.5 IP is in fact calibrated to deliver that 15% more fuel you will not realize it in normal driving. The extra fuel may only be a problem at idle (unlikely) and WOT. Fuel = power. An IP that delivers 15% more fuel, relatively, from the stock IP will simply develop slightly more power at a given rpm than the stock IP. In normal driving the result is needing slightly less accelerator pedal to maintain or accelerate RELATIVE to the amount of pedal needed with the stock IP. Does this make sense? Maybe not, but I can tell you from experience of having the IP fuel delivery turned up in other diesel vehicles that you won't notice it until you mash the pedal all the way down. RT

My want to monitor your EGTs when using the larger IP. I'm sure you will have fun with the extra fuel.
