How much horsepower does your Lemons Rally car make? We don't remember what Speedycop's "Rust Runner" made on the portable dyno this year, but it was surely at least 700 HP. #LemonsRally #BodySwap #OM617 https://t.co/XmAUoHAeSq

The Mercedes OM617 inline-5 cylinder Diesel is considered one of the most reliable, longest lasting light automotive engines. It was the main Diesel engine used by Mercedes in passenger cars from about 1973–1980. Many of the Mercedes 300D and 300SE in Europe were driven by their original owners for 200k+ miles or so, and then sold to importers who would convert them to taxi service. These taxis would then run for another 400–500k miles without a rebuild. Most of these OM617s outlast the bodies they were built for. They’re also used as light industrial engines for generators and pumps. They make around 111 horsepower, which is not a lot considering the size and weight of a 70’s-80’s full-sized Mercedes. Properly maintained, which includes regular oil changes, valve adjustment and adjusting for timing chain stretch, OM617s can reach a million miles before needing a rebuild.
The 5 cylinder diesel in my Mercedes hit 365,000 miles today, and still gets 25 mpg. I’m thinking it’s pretty good. Edit 4/16/20: The above picture is of my 1983 300D, W123 chassis. The engine is an OM617.952 turbodiesel. This version of the engine debuted in the T123 300TD wagon, a close relative of my car. The OM617 first came out as a non-turbo with about 77 horsepower in the W115 240D 3.0 of 1975, which was renamed the 300D for 1976. The W115 platform was superseded by the W123 for the 1977 model year. The first turbo version of the OM617 came out in 1978 in the W116 300SD.
Yes. No. Also maybe. I used to have a Mercedes 240D that was powered by the OM616 2.4 liter four cylinder diesel. I currently have a Mercedes 300D powered by the OM617 five cylinder diesel. The latter is a lot faster than the former. Part of the reason is that Mercedes just stretched the four cylinder into a five cylinder, adding another 25% of displacement. It didn’t hurt that they also added a turbo. In the first iteration of the stretch, they went from a 62 horsepower naturally aspirated four to a 77 horsepower naturally aspirated five. The turbo came later and bumped it up to 120. On the other hand, I also own a 1988 Jaguar XJS. It’s powered by a 5.3 liter V12 that was rated at 262 horsepower in factory stock configuration. The closest equivalent to the XJS in the current Jaguar lineup is the F-Type. The base engine for 2021 is a 5.0 liter V8. Less cylinders and less displacement, but they did slap a supercharger on it. It has 444 horsepower, or in other words, a lot more than my V12. Adding more cylinders to the same basic engine makes the engine larger and more powerful, but never assume that an engine with more cylinders has more power than an unrelated engine with fewer.
It wasn't always about horsepower and torque. If you look at Mercedes Benz with the OM617. It was slow as hell and that was the turbo version. People still prefer the low displacement and fuel efficient options in luxury cars in India. I've seen the top line German brands selling their cars with tiny diesel engines which have enough power to get moving struggle to make the car move at full throttle. Anything with less than 200 hp might be fine for city driving but is hopeless at highway speeds. The US has many freeways and have only two lanes. You often need to floor a sub 200 hp car to get it up to the traffic speed. Even when passing a slow moving vehicle, you would want to have more powerful car. You don't need to have 600 hp but you will want to have 300 hp at 50 percent load rather than 100 percent load at 300 hp. It doesn't feel good beating a luxury car just to get going for the luxury buyer.
Short answer: No. Longer answer: If you want to double the power, you’ll need to get about twice as much air in. You’ll need to get about twice as much fuel in, and you’ll need to get twice as much exhaust out. You didn’t say which chassis you have. The 200D model existed across the W110, W115, W123, and W124 platforms. I don’t know much about a W110, so if you have one of those, I can’t help you much. If you have one of the later platforms, an engine swap is probably your best bet for more power. The W115 at certain times came with the non-turbo version of the OM617, good for up to 88 horsepower. That doesn’t quite double a 2 liter 615, but you will feel it. There’s a turbo version of the 617 which came with 120 horsepower. It’s not a direct swap into a W115, but with some custom work it can be done. The turbo 617 came stock in the W123, so it’s a pretty direct swap from a W123 300D to a W123 200D. While you’re at it, grab the rear differential and gauge cluster from the donor car. You can keep the old manual transmission, if you have a manual and it’s what you want. If you’re going automatic, you want a turbo trans for a turbo engine. If you have a W124, you have a pretty direct swap to an OM603, which came with anywhere from 109 to 150 horsepower depending on which one you get. Skip the 3.5 liter version and stick with the 3.0. The 3.5 has a nasty tendency to bend connecting rods. Some of the early OM603s had a tendency to crack the cylinder head if the engine was overheated. Later ones generally don’t have that problem. All that being said, if you are dead set on keeping the original engine, you’ll need to add a turbo, and you’ll need to modify the injector pump to supply enough fuel. You’ll probably end up needing an intercooler as well. I’m aware of quite a few people who’ve made relatively big power with the OM617 engine, and there were turbo kits made for the OM616 back when they were new. I’m not aware of anyone trying to do major performance mods on an OM621 or OM615, so you would be a bit of a pioneer. Be forewarned, adding a turbo and lots of fuel to an original non-turbo engine does not improve its durability or reliability. It might go boom. If you’re serious about any of this, there are forums with information about this sort of thing. I’ve spent some time here: Diesel Performance Tuning - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum,, but there are others you might like as well.
