Max power on om602 with 7 mm elements, everything else stock.
Hi,
What do you reckon would be the max power that can achieved with 7 mm elements on a stock om602 (appart from turbo set to about 15 psi)?
Currently with 1 1/4 turns on the full load and 5700 rpm max engine speed (pulls strongly to about 5000 rpm) I reach 1250 F at about 140 kph in 3rd at about 5000 rpm flat out. Though I need shorter bursts of power like 0-50 mph for quick pull off and 60 - 80 mph for highway.
The car is no slouch with the lpg injection, but want to keep it diesel only.
