Mercedes-Benz 300 SD 0-60 MPH Movie.wmv

A brief selection of videos demonstrating the acceleration capabilities of a stock 617.950 engine with nothing more than proper tuning and adjustments. The engine is internally stock and features an '05' camshaft advanced 4° and injection pump timing advanced 2° from specification respectively. The stock T-3 turbo produces 14.7 psi of boost @ 5100 rpm. The injection pump is stock and no adjustments have been made to the rack limiter or full load stop. The ALDA set screw has been backed all the way out CCW. I hope you enjoy this short video....

You can do the adjustments on ANY engine, although an engine in sound mechanical condition is important...

[The10851Man]

Fill the filters with fuel and no bleeding is required....

[The10851Man]

A lot of techs do not want you to know about it!!!!! E-mail me and I will be happy to walk you through the adjustment.....

[The10851Man]

Thanks for the comment. These old diesels really perform well when everything is set up correctly. Its a very fun car to drive too..

[The10851Man]

Interesting...check out the 1991 350SDL 0 to 60 Video posted by Willber14...that's about 14 seconds....

[The10851Man]

Incorrect. The overboost protection circuit cuts in at 16psi. We increased the boost in 1psi increments and the car went faster everytime until boost pressure reached 15psi. 13 seconds is slow for a stock 617??? Interesting when there is a video of a 617 with 6mm elemnets and a Holset turbo that makes 145 RWHP and does 0 to 60 in 11 seconds. You are welcome to post a video in response....

Nice running Diesel. i have a few and i just picked up a W123 300TD with a STT turbo kit installed. I am very interested in how you advanced the cam timing. Did you use an offset key ? ,and the IP,did you advance it by rotating the pump shaft back a couple of notches?.

Cheers!

isnt this bad for the engine or other parts of the vehicle? will it affect the mpg? are you still in fresno?

[eatont9999]

Wow, that car has some balls! I hope my 83 300SD can get to that point at some time. It doesn't seem far off as it is now. I pick it up and trailer it home tomorrow morning. She needs lots of cosmetic work but she runs well.

LOVE THE CADDILLIAC 300D!!!!!!

[joegolden481]

wow that is a quick sd...I tweaked the alda and ip. well my mechanic did on my 85 300d. It was very very peppy! I sure do miss it. Sold it to dieseldon in Michigan 10 yrs ago and he still has it!

Great video, but is it mandatory to rebuild the engine completely to adjust the engine? Are slight adjustments also possible on an older engine?

@ablacklakeawhitelake I mean "wondered"
