And if money is no object get the supercharged fuel one...

The V6 cdi is a great engine but to get near that performance you would need to change alot. First of all the intake is very bad. As the turbo is in the V you cannot fit anything bigger then the 2260 from the 265hp one. also the High pressure pump would need to be upgraded, you would need to get compression down to around 16:1 (also pistons from the 265Hp)

To get safe 300HP you need the turbo, EGR block & DPF off. Tuning you need a guy who knows his stuff as there is a torque control for the transmission.

Then the auto trans. The E55 has the speedshift installed...

On the inline, you need injectors as they will only be good to around 55HP/cilinder. The 400CDI pump is almost bolt on (you have to cut a little in the aluminium of the timing cover) or use the 30cdi part. Also you need the injector rail line from 30CDI (see pics)

The V6 is completely different
And 628 is V8. If I remember correctly you wanted to modify this engine for marine use, right? How this project go?
Even direct bolt on (with some modification), I am not sure about the space in the engine bay, for installing pump from V8.
OEM 648 pump can be modified to flow 45% more fuel, so this is my way to go, plus if you look the engine, it looks bone stock, same with the turbo.

Yes and OM629 is also V8

If you prefere a modified pump, no problem. The 628 & 629 is CP3 from bosch like used on cummins and duramax.

Who can modify these pumps? all the high HP 4cil, 5cil and inline 6 cilinder here use this V8 pump so it would be interesting to modify.
Biggest problem is the injectors, I had C30CDI nozzles fitted into the standard injector but the result was only 6% more fuel, so AMG does also internal work to them.

After pump upgrade on the OEM pump (OM648) flow rate is increased by 45%. Most diesel tuning places will be able to do it if they do upgrades on CP3 pumps for Duramax or Cummins, same with the nozzles. V6 pump will require shaft upgrade, I think, because it is gear driven.

The piezo injectors are very big no need for upgrade, you will be running out of fuel before running out of injector capacity, they are able to make north of 80HP/cilincer

I did the upgrade on mine 60.000 km ago and still running very strong
Congrats on your work man.

I have seen somewhere another reccomandation for this mod you made, a MAP and a rail pressure sender from an E250 cdi.

Are those just for 300+hp or a must anyway?

Hello guys. I have seen this message from colleague and was interested in installing it in my car. It's possible? I have a 2003 w211 E320 6L:
Model E 320 CDI
Engine 648961 30 006490
Transmission 722 626 04 127 360

I have reprogrammed the control unit and the car has 240cv. I have not tested power bank to check exactly the power and torque. Do you think it is possible to make this modification? or is there another possibility to increase power? Thanks for the help.
