you can in fact swap parts with both engines. and they will fit eachother with minor issues. in fact you can swap an OM606 into the engine bay of a Mk4 supra and use the factory motor mounts(as hot rod garage has proven by shoving a 2jZ into the hood of a mercedes CL500 from 2003)
In terms of on track it would more likely be the M57 or the 1.9 TDI VW engines, where I'm from if you see a 1.9 TDI 3 door Polo you steer well clear of getting completely embarrassed, that and the MK1 Golf, there's always a MK1 faster than you. Doesn't matter what you're running. Here are a couple of MK1's pushing well over 1000hp in a body that weighs 800kgs. And they have a variety of builds
Oh boy, Ian, the tuned diesel culture in Europe is not a rabbit hole, it's a freakin' tunnel! And I'm not even talking about the even crazier diesel drag racing scene!😄 The 1320 YT channel did a video in Santa Pod (UK) last year and the presenter looked so lost amongst the "sea" of unknown (for him) cars and models. As someone who knows about the heavy presence of portuguese drivers in the UK's drag racing scene, I found that video hilarious but entertaining at the same time. 😀
i was really hoping someone would talk about this, that video is awesome, not only does it show you a culture americans aren't aware off but also its shown BY an american who doesn't really understand how it works so there's a fair bit of explaining (im also proud cuz there's a lot of Portuguese garages at Santa Pod)
anyway, other youtuber bringing soon a brand new scania 770 V8 to the US.. check Bruce Wilson.. maybe you can drive if you cooperating :) He have 3 older scania already
That's not quite right. Bruce isn't bringing an R770 to the US, Scania is sending one for evaluation purposes, and Bruce will be doing the evaluations and taking it to shows to gauge reaction. The vehicle will remain the property of Scania.
@@AB-C1 I didn’t know that, but you’re correct. The difference is rather small: 1 PS = 0.98 hp. For practical purposes, it can probably be ignored in most cases
@@baumgrt yeah I always remember when they started naming power on the Vauxhall's back in the 80s in P.S. rather than H.P. and when my old man bought one I found out it wasn't the same figure when I read the performance stats (as you do as a kid! Lol)
You really need to check some highly tuned. OM606 videos. They make like 150bhp stock but can be tuned with bigger and more powerful diesel pump and better internal parts to make 700-900bhp and the engine can revs over 7000 RPM and it sounds so good.
the OM 606 is the motorcode, OM stands for "Öl Motor" in english " (Diesel) Oil Engine" and there are many numbers for all the different engines , for example OM 617-952 is the 5 cyl. 3.0 L turbodiesel from the W123 300D, 300TD, 300CD and W116 / W126 300SD, they have been sold in the US !
@@georgobergfell yeah hence the smoke, that's the giveaway. The ones that weren't smoking are closer to standard with probably some run of the mill mods like a bigger turbo or whatever
Yeah, I've modded my 1.3cdti Corsa D with a remap and it immediately started to fart smoke all over the place, gained some 25hp and a lot of torque, the clutch still managed the power mostly because there are 110hp engines with the same displacement from Opel and Alfa Romeo (MiTo). The car sounds menacing with just a cone air filter.
@@AB-C1 you do get that result with just an evry mod though, its not that big of a build. I'm pretty sure every volvo 2.4td has that done to them here in Finland. What comes to the sound of these, its not a big modification to change the muffler, but it is not stock.
@@nielsoudegriep2900I didn't mention ANYTHING about smoke Vs power output, only that more smoke equals usually older engines and probably zero catalyst/more mods rather than closer to stock. The more fuel is being pushed through with an unclean burn the more smoke you'll get especially if there's no filters/catalysts fitted. If anything they're less efficient. But again that's not indicative of overall power/performance, usually more age of engine how much it's been modified from stock/how much extra fuel they're trying to push through that's burning uncleanly will produce black smoke. One of the fastest ones there was the BMW X6 and that had less smoke than many but its a performance engine to begin with, rather than an old Volvo with massive mods loads of fuel and an unclean burn.
I´m glad the Alfa 156 and 159 made it into the video, with the 2.4 JTDm engine. It´s and inline 5 turbo diesel, with 175hp in the 156, and 210hp in the 159. I´ve driven a 156 with this engine and it was amazing. It´s powerful and it´s really one of the best sounding diesels you can find. Also those Alfas look fantastic! You really make an appearence, when you come around anywhere, with an Alfa Romeo. Alfa also has the, in my opinion, best sounding V6 ever made, the Busso V6.
The BMW in Europe is very known for their 3.0 diesels. M57, N57 and B57. They were single, twin, Tri and quad turbocharged. Singles and twins may be found from anywhere like 3 series to like 5, 7 and X5 and X6. Tri and quad turbo versions were reserved for more high end cars like 5 series, 7 etc
In Germany, and I believe in other European countries as well, gasoline and diesel are taxed differently. Because of this, under certain conditions (like driving long distances), you can save money. That’s why diesel cars are so common in Europe.
Not as common anymore. Diesel ownership has gone down significantly over the last 5 years! Lots of cars in general nowadays (old and especially new ones) are Petrol.
@@EliasBacnah, it's just cost of ownership. There are injectors, pumps, turbos, double mass flywheels that are goin bad on those 20 yo diesels, that arent economical to do.
The Mercedes OM606 might be one of the most popular, most recognized Diesel-Engines out there. Tuneable to hell, swappable to almost anything. Massively high-revving, for a Diesel-Engine. From way back in those days, when Mercedes used to massively overbuild everything. Pretty sought-after, nowadays, I presume. Buy a W124 300 TDI (which I know you like) and one of those will be in there. There's also an OM605, which is a 5-cylinder Diesel. Which might even be a little more exotic. You can find those in the W124 250 TDI-Models. There's also non-turbo-ones, those would be in the same cars, the 300D (or 250D for the 5-cylinder OM605), the Mercedes C/E-Class W124 (and some S- , and I think also some of the G-Classes) There's tons of videos out there. One of the more famous ones (at least in Europe): ruclips.net/video/24afjVqm2Uw/видео.html
Ah you’re loving diesels, cool. I currently have a 2008 Alfa GT Blackline JTDM. It’s a modest 1.9 turbo diesel that started off at 140bhp. mapped now to 190bhp and I love it. Can outrun quite a few cars and looks tight!
Hahahaha Look at that happy kids face! Thank you soo much for this, this really made my evening. Seeing how much you enjoy this end the surprises, its just awesome mate! Cant wait btw to see your street interviews you mentioned in the other vid today, that will be sooooo class!
10:00 somewhat sporty... my dude :D i think each of the cars you showed here today so far will make any of the cars you have cry :D It’s a bit like that fella making fun of that tesla car in his mcclaren, im gonna smoke you and then the tesla just eats that thing alive in the sprint.... (Modern) TDI's are on par with petrol cars
My first (and current) car is a 1.9tdi PD, one of the lower powered variants with only 105bhp but still 240nm torque (about 180lb/ft I believe), super reliable and economic. The higher powered variants of those 1.9 PD are known for making a LOT of power with even just intercooler and injector upgrades.
Love your reactions……….a Brit here, I’ve had 3 BMW diesels and 2 Mercedes diesels over the past 20 years or so, all company cars from new and………they’ve all been fantastic. In the 1970s I had a 50cc KTM moped that produced 4hp and did 60 miles to the gallon, my current BMW 2L (private car) is a convertible diesel which can produce 225hp, yet when at motorway speeds gives a similar fuel consumption! All I can say is wow, these BMW engineers are the best! 😊
That list missing om 648 and bkack smoke racing drift car. 850 hp and 1200nm torque. And Finland is saying power made by diesel and brushes wash by petrol
My wife drives a Pugeot RCZ which has a 2.0l inline 4 diesel. It's not on the same par as some of the big displacement ones you just showed but it's essentially a large sports car. 160bhp, 251ft/lb. It's a very unique looking car and doesn't hang about. You wouldn't know it's a diesel when you drive it. It was made to compete with the Audi TT.
I remember a few taxi drivers all drove tuned up OM606 190E's on Zakynthos island years ago, they sounded nuts and you'd see them powersliding with passengers in the back all the time whilst just rolling coal.
I own as a taxi W211 E270 cdi 5 cylinder 6 speed manual and it sounds sick..i have tuned the exhaust just a bit so i can hear it.i recently turned the odometer back to 0 for the second time after it maxed at 999.999.. first engine lasted 1.700.000 of working all day..
My Company Car is a Ford Transit Mk7. A l2.2l Inline 4 with 140 Hp. It has now run 450.000 Kilometers or approximatly 280.000 with the first engine, Clutch and gearbox. 85% of the time is the Trailer connected. Only Regular Maintenance, a new Radiator at 90.000 miles,where a forklift slipped over the wet ground and can't stop. I love this workhorse.
I had an alfa 147 diesel; it was a lot of fun to drive and such a pretty car. I also had a Volvo V40 R-Design with the D4 engine; fastest accelerating car I've owned and such a quiet drive.
I own a Mercedes ML 320 CDI with the OM642 V6 DOHC Turbo Intercooled engine and a VGT . Most of the cars that you showcased were modified at least in the exhaust department . Mine is stock but I did somethings to the intake manifold and air filters ... I have to say it's one of the most reliable engines ever , with the right oil and oil change , as is the OM629 Bi-Turbo 4.0 V8 and the king that is the OM606 3.0 inline 6 . Peace !!!
i got a bmw 430d with the single turbo n57, the torque is pretty crazy, it is also pretty dam sporty as well, but reliability wise it has been great over the last 2 years and 25k miles i've had it, bmw also make 35d (n57) and 40d (n57 and b57) versions which are twin turbo as well as a tri turbo (n57s) and quad turbo (b57s) in m50d cars
Back in the days General Motors Europe licensed the FIAT/Alfa Romeo diesel engines (JTD) for use in their european brands Opel/Vauxhall and SAAB. Later the Opel engineered 1.6 TD was also available in the USA for the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain IIRC.
3:48 I was about to ask the same question, as I myself have mentioned that and the bmw M57 (24V CR, cast iron block) multiple times in the comments before..
I'd love to see more BMWs. That twin turbo one in the video sounds very good, BMW also made an I6 engine with triple and quad turbo setups. Amazing engines.
OOOH Ian, I'll post a video about EU diesel Drag racing in the discord later! These deep dives are my favorite type of content you do, please keep them coming
Om606 sounds great and is easily tuned. I’ve got a N57 today in a 435d. Pushing easily over 400 hp, some even up to 600 hp, and rare occasions almost twice that in drag cars 😅
3:57 the OM606 is a great engine can be tuned to 600+bhp and it’s light weight too…its little sister engine the OM605 (the 5 cylinder version) sounds good too and I’ve seen them pushing 380bhp (but think they can do more)
I was 18 3/4. I had my driver's license. 18 was then you time. I was 20 and worked at a small business. Amploy number 3. And drove almost dayly the BMW 530td Touring from my boss ore the VW Transport VR6 business car. From friends and business parents of my boss Jaguar XJ 6. Range Rover V6 4.6 ltr. MG midd... VW Golf cabriolet. This was a weekly ting, that I drove al that cars. For 6 years. Greetings from Spakenburg The Netherlands. My first car was a BMW 318I from 1986.
Just test-drove a modern Audi S4 3.0l V6 TDI ... which surprisingly did not sound like a tractor cold-started and pretty powerful when driving (and I know it can play fake sound through the speakers - which I turned off). 341HP - 700Nm - 250km/h top speed... most likely my next car 😁
A lot of those engines are common for tuning, the 3L diesel in that X6 was used in the E9x 325d, 330d and 335d, 600hp on stock block and 1000+nm are easely done, although most have to reinforce other things at that point. You can't launch the car or you will break the driveshaft... The 3L diesel from Audi is also a popular choice, with a good exhaust these sound like a diesel supra and they can also make 400-500hp. The OM606 from Mercedes is also +-600hp and it's an older engine. Those diesels can go up to 5500rpm.
Had a tuned Saab 9-3 Aero 2.2TiD with a muffler delete, took it from a boring sounding car to something that was surprisingly accurate to how it performed on the road. Not overly loud, just a wee bit louder and with deeper lows.
I have two BMW 3-series with the BMW M57 engine - I know I'm strange. One is a single turbo with a manual gearbox (a 2004 E46), the other is a bi-turbo with an automatic gearbox (a 2009 E92). I prefer a manual gearbox experience overall, but once really on the move the bi-turbo auto does make me smile when I step on it. If you wanted to check out an interesting partnership and you could look at videos of Nissan Patrols which have had a BMW M57 engine conversion. The Romanians seem to love throwing those down muddy and rutted forest tracks.
Kicked it out of the stadium, again, dude, yeah, diesel engines can clearly compete against nearly any petrol engine, and because diesel fuel was nearly half the price as petrol fuel, many auto manufacturers offered diesel fueled cars throughout the european community, such a pity the usa doesn't have the option, but then again, petrol prices until recently in the usa was always cheaper than in europe, once again dude, kick ass video, keep in up dude, the mutts nuts Ian, bless you sir
Take a look at the European drifmasters series, there's a Mercedes Benz diesel drift car. The team is called Black Smoke Racing and it's from Finland. This year's champion is also from Finland. Lauri Heinonen. He has a nascar V8 powered nissan s13.
I have a Honda Civic with a 2.2 iDTEC (turbodiesel) engine and I freakin' love it. It can easely rev to 5k RPM, at which point a mechanical limiter blocks the engine from revving more.
Always great to watch novel reactions to something that is mundane for others like a clash of worlds. Great video! Since you appreciate V12 and Mercs so much, recently videos of old V12 S-Class cars with equal length exhaust headers are popping up. They move like a heavy luxury limousine, but scream like a Pegani Zonda. specifically: a tuner from Japan ("Brilliant Exhaust") is at fault for the recent popularity.
Mercedes did the OM605, OM602 and OM617. All are 5 cylinder engines. These things are indestructible and they sound so good. I have lots of fond memories with my dad who used to own a 190D with the OM602.
In line 6 i have in my vw lt van from 1981, my lt from 1978 has a 2.7 diesel. Got a marine diesel engine in my vw buggy from 1960. Also got a diesel outboard engine
Damn, no mention of Audi's legendary 2.5 TDI inline 5. The first TDI engine. Two years later Audi developed the first gen. 1.9TDI, which was an adaptation of the 2.5 engine. Most advanced diesel engines of their time. And still two of the most reliable diesel engines ever put in a car. My brother has the 2.5 I5 in his VW t4 Multivan and it sounds freaking awesome, especially above 3500rpm when it starts to pull.
My friend had an Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTDM, which made nearly 300 hp. It was a tuned car and had a turbocharger from an Audi 3.0 TDI engine. It also sounded amazing for a diesel and was really fast.
You really need to look into these diesel Merc engines the tuning capabilities are unreal. Om605, om606, om648. Check out diesel pump UK and black smoke racing 😁
You might soon be getting Scanias in the US again, Bruce Wilson, another youtuber who has recently become obsessed with Scanias, just ordered a brand new Scania R730 I think it was, he recently posted a series of videos from the factory in Sweden, showing the truck being put together and is getting it imported to the US in collaboration with Scania themselves, they're gonna use it as a "press truck" and bring it to truck shows all around the US... Sounds to me like Scania is gonna try to break back into the US market again....
I love your enthusiasm bro! I miss having a straight piped diesel car with a turbo whistle. Just made me think I have never owned a petrol car! My Mercedes, Audi and BMW have all been diesel and now the van I have got is also diesel! 🤷♂️
The N57 in the bmw x35d along with it's earlier M57 have a low/high pressure boost setup, there is a control valve that makes the system into a compound turbo, small turbo feeds into big turbo but also has a bypass route, deleting the DPF/Cat will make these alone whistle, make .5 psi @idle, standard boost pressure around the 28psi mark, I have a BMW E60 535D M-Sport LCI, it drives like an NA petrol in linearity throttle & rev wise but you have 560nm on tap at 1800rpm and 287hp towards a 5000rpm redline
You're about to experience them in the US at some point. Bruce Wilson (youtube), dude in Florida, has imported a *factory new* unit to the US that should be arriving before year end. It's an official Scania collaboration. He filmed _everything_ in the factory in Sweden, a complete build tour!
My weekend toy is a Subaru but my daily for years has been diesels, my current one is a 2.2 with 450nm torque, in a 2013 Ford Mondeo TXS, love a good diesel engine
My dad has an Alfa Romeo diesel. It’s the Stelvio, the SUV that is also sold in America, and it’s a 2.0L 4 cylinder with 210hp. It sounds pretty standard. He also has an old Range Rover Sport from 2011 with a 3.0L V6 Diesel, 250hp, and that engine does a great job at being smooth and quiet while also being pretty fast for a 2800kg (6100lbs) car. That’s what happens when you have 600Nm (442
Japan had a bunch of interesting diesels. I had a 1990 Nissan Laurel with a RD28 which i did silly things to. Made decent power all the way up to 7200rpm!
The Audi A8 TDI does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, so yes, there are some 'low-key' sporty diesels. Before the 530d I have now, I had a tuned 335d that would light the tyres from 70mph. Red lines on modern diesels are usually 5 - 5.5K but the OM606 motor will rev to the moon.
Once here where i live in Finland, I heard in front of me in the trafficlights a bmw 330 or 335 diesel wagon. It mustve been single turbo modded because i heard the turbo spool in to my car sooo damn clearly it was insane.
I own a '07 BMW X3 E83 2.0 diesel. Originaly it has 177 HP but with a "small" hybrid turbo and a simple ECU repro, it gives now 281 HP. The best thing is that it drinks only 6.5 l/100 km (about 36 mpg) Diesel cars are very underrated in USA.
Used to roll coal with my E300 Turbodiesel here in Michigan until rust did us part... OM606.962. I regret not keeping it for the drivetrain and putting that in a S124, S123 or W126 instead. Quick tune from @DieselPumpUK would have been my choice. Got to drive a V10TDI Touareg that was a company car at my employer in Germany back in 2005 and an ML420 CDI as well. Had many BMW 530/535d rental cars in Germany and always liked them. The V10TDI was my favorite of the bunch.
My 3.0 V6 A6 C6 Has S6 style quad pipes and makes a lovely low rumble. I don't think I could go back to sub 3L and less than 6 cylinders, 240bhp is so nice, it pulls from 0-70mph rapidly, and from 70+ without changing down a gear.
@10:40 question, yes there are wicked tuned Diesels :) specially the Audi A5's they look like diesel RS5's- Go check the DarkSide Developments A5 it looks nuts
The bmw M57 is what was in that X6. Single turbo they were up to 235bhp, the twin turbo variants were usually 286bhp with some of the later ones being over 300bhp.
The chassis you're looking at 3:24 is the w201, which originally came with "just" the OM604 (2.0/2.2L 4 cylinder NA) and OM605 (2.5L 5 cylinder NA or turbocharged). The OM606 is mainly found in the W124 and W210 chassis (and a few others G-wagen/S-class from the early to late 90's).
My pal has an e60 5 series 330d, nice exhaust on it, remap, couple of spicy bits... Sounds like it wants to eat the road and pulls like a train. Diesels are sick
That 35d engine is M57 an it is available also for e90 3series, e60 5-series etc. Amazing engine, sounds good, is known for reliability and phenomenal mpg for 400hp/600ftlbs, with only few mods, and a remap. I have a 335d with this same engine and i just love it!
My dad has a 2006 Audi A6 with the 3.0 V6 TDI that he's owned since new. It's a great engine, more than enough power for regular driving but you can still get decent gas mileage, like around 8l/100km (~30 US mpg). They are also known to reach some incredible mileage but my dad barely drives the car, so it's only done about 250k km (~150k miles) over it's 18 years of life. No problems so far.
My Dad has a BMW M340 Diesel combi all wheel drive. Inline 6, 340 PS and 700 Nm Torque, 4,6 sek from 0 to 100 kp/h also doesnt sound like a diesel. The best thing it only takes 5.8 liter diesel per 100km.😅
Offtopic, but there is a channel where they do things with trucks and they are trying to get a new Scania to the USA. So maybe a change for you to see one in rl up close. The channel is Bruce Wilson.
i have an vauxhall (opel) corsa d 2011 with a 1.7cdti diesel engine which sound phenomenal. you should look at diesel engines in small euro hatchbacks as you get the fiesta option in one
The BMW 3.0 (M57) engine wasnt only in the X6. I have a pre LCI E60 35d with the iron engine block. stock 272 HP, but with a bit of tuning mine makes now @370 HP and 750 Nm. The LCI models got the improved M57 engine with piezo injectors, stock 282 HP. With an R90 pump and 50d injectors they can make around 500 HP.
I’ve got a 1.9 JTD Alfa Romeo GT from 2004. It’s torque, bulletproof, great sounding if you like diesels (as I do) and very economical at eating up motorway miles. Wouldn’t even swap it for V6 Busso if I was offered money for it.
The OM606 is the diesel 2JZ basically
Some even rev comparably high. There are videos of them turning near 8k
Yes, there are some sick builds that deliver well over 600hp with stock internals.
you can in fact swap parts with both engines. and they will fit eachother with minor issues. in fact you can swap an OM606 into the engine bay of a Mk4 supra and use the factory motor mounts(as hot rod garage has proven by shoving a 2jZ into the hood of a mercedes CL500 from 2003)
Yeah, do a indepth dive into om606 :)
In terms of on track it would more likely be the M57 or the 1.9 TDI VW engines, where I'm from if you see a 1.9 TDI 3 door Polo you steer well clear of getting completely embarrassed, that and the MK1 Golf, there's always a MK1 faster than you. Doesn't matter what you're running. Here are a couple of MK1's pushing well over 1000hp in a body that weighs 800kgs. And they have a variety of builds

100%, those PD engines can take some crazy boost with their internals 💪🏻💪🏻
You arent wrong but as a M57 owner I have to put in a word for it as well...
@@GoldenCrocdefinitely up there too but I’m a bit biased towards Mercedes :D
I'll sit here and be happy with my D5244T4 from Volvo.
1.9 tdi is not the best sounding diesel but it can handle added horsepower freaking good.

just wanted to write the same thing
and look at Max Hunter that took the Scania to the US for a vacation
Very soon, Bruce will be an Official Scania Ambassador in the US 😆
That's not quite right. Bruce isn't bringing an R770 to the US, Scania is sending one for evaluation purposes, and Bruce will be doing the evaluations and taking it to shows to gauge reaction. The vehicle will remain the property of Scania.
@@Run_BMW THAT will only be possible if the US change their view on foreign trucks and abolish the 25 year rule.
6:53 PS is just the German abbreviation for horse power (Pferdestärke)
Think it's a different calculation though slightly different figures from memory
@@AB-C1 I didn’t know that, but you’re correct. The difference is rather small: 1 PS = 0.98 hp. For practical purposes, it can probably be ignored in most cases
@@baumgrt yeah I always remember when they started naming power on the Vauxhall's back in the 80s in P.S. rather than H.P. and when my old man bought one I found out it wasn't the same figure when I read the performance stats (as you do as a kid! Lol)
Then there is buff horses and HRSPRS too!
@@RadioactiveSaddam ok, this is getting out of hand. Let’s just all us kW, please
Suprised that the Audi 2.5TDi Inline 5 isnt here that thing with a straight pipe sounds awesome
You really need to check some highly tuned. OM606 videos. They make like 150bhp stock but can be tuned with bigger and more powerful diesel pump and better internal parts to make 700-900bhp and the engine can revs over 7000 RPM and it sounds so good.
A Diesel that sounds good? 😅
@@Kev27RSyes cuz it revs high
Oh wow, didnt know it revs that high!
@@VaszkoNicolas Usually Diesels don’t rev that high.
@@Kev27RS that i know very well, I am from the EU and so I have obviously met,seen and driven a few 😁hence why i am surprised this one revs to 7
You should look more into OM606 and 605 motors. The 605 is the 5 cylinder that sounds so nice.
the OM 606 is the motorcode, OM stands for "Öl Motor" in english " (Diesel) Oil Engine" and there are many numbers for all the different engines , for example OM 617-952 is the 5 cyl. 3.0 L turbodiesel from the W123 300D, 300TD, 300CD and W116 / W126 300SD, they have been sold in the US !
ÖL means beer in Swedish so it sounds hilarious!
@@RadioactiveSaddam 😂🤣😂👍
I do own a 2018 BMW M550D X-Drive Touring. 400PS (394HP) and 750NM (553 ft lbs) Great car love it.
Ps is PferdStarke, which is the metric measurment of horsepower, equivalent of 98,6% of 1 hp.
Yep. As i know, in the US they measure behind the motor and in the EU behind the gearbox.
I believe the literal translation is "horse strength."
its the Metric HP instead of the (us standard)HP
its used in german mostly because of the fact that otherwise the abreviations would be the same
@@flopjul3022 because metric horses are slightly smaller than SAE horses.
bruuuh
You should look into OM606 Superturbos. Driving one daily myself and it always makes me smile.
Please note, that most of the cars in the video are more or less heavily tuned
@@georgobergfell yeah hence the smoke, that's the giveaway. The ones that weren't smoking are closer to standard with probably some run of the mill mods like a bigger turbo or whatever
Yeah, I've modded my 1.3cdti Corsa D with a remap and it immediately started to fart smoke all over the place, gained some 25hp and a lot of torque, the clutch still managed the power mostly because there are 110hp engines with the same displacement from Opel and Alfa Romeo (MiTo).
The car sounds menacing with just a cone air filter.
@@AB-C1 you do get that result with just an evry mod though, its not that big of a build. I'm pretty sure every volvo 2.4td has that done to them here in Finland. What comes to the sound of these, its not a big modification to change the muffler, but it is not stock.
@@AB-C1smoke doesnt equal tuning tho, some people have a clean tune that has a lot extra power, but dont smoke
@@nielsoudegriep2900I didn't mention ANYTHING about smoke Vs power output, only that more smoke equals usually older engines and probably zero catalyst/more mods rather than closer to stock. The more fuel is being pushed through with an unclean burn the more smoke you'll get especially if there's no filters/catalysts fitted. If anything they're less efficient. But again that's not indicative of overall power/performance, usually more age of engine how much it's been modified from stock/how much extra fuel they're trying to push through that's burning uncleanly will produce black smoke. One of the fastest ones there was the BMW X6 and that had less smoke than many but its a performance engine to begin with, rather than an old Volvo with massive mods loads of fuel and an unclean burn.
I´m glad the Alfa 156 and 159 made it into the video, with the 2.4 JTDm engine. It´s and inline 5 turbo diesel, with 175hp in the 156, and 210hp in the 159. I´ve driven a 156 with this engine and it was amazing. It´s powerful and it´s really one of the best sounding diesels you can find. Also those Alfas look fantastic! You really make an appearence, when you come around anywhere, with an Alfa Romeo. Alfa also has the, in my opinion, best sounding V6 ever made, the Busso V6.
I bought one 156 for my father! Except the frequent stops to the garages an awesome car!
Blacksmoke racing from Finland actually competes in Driftmasters with their Diesel Mercedes :)
The BMW in Europe is very known for their 3.0 diesels. M57, N57 and B57. They were single, twin, Tri and quad turbocharged. Singles and twins may be found from anywhere like 3 series to like 5, 7 and X5 and X6. Tri and quad turbo versions were reserved for more high end cars like 5 series, 7 etc
My wife has a Peugeot 207 hdi at 110hp but i made an engine optimation to it and now it has 143hp. Goes like hell for that small shoe box 😂😂😂
In Germany, and I believe in other European countries as well, gasoline and diesel are taxed differently. Because of this, under certain conditions (like driving long distances), you can save money. That’s why diesel cars are so common in Europe.
Not as common anymore.
Diesel ownership has gone down significantly over the last 5 years!
Lots of cars in general nowadays (old and especially new ones) are Petrol.
@@Kev27RSI believe it’s related to how diesel pollute in a worst than Petrol or something
@@EliasBacnah, it's just cost of ownership. There are injectors, pumps, turbos, double mass flywheels that are goin bad on those 20 yo diesels, that arent economical to do.
Diesel is also cheaper than petrol
@@matejr7871 Depends where you live, where i'm from diesel was never really popular and it has pretty much always been more expensive than petrol
The Mercedes OM606 might be one of the most popular, most recognized Diesel-Engines out there. Tuneable to hell, swappable to almost anything. Massively high-revving, for a Diesel-Engine. From way back in those days, when Mercedes used to massively overbuild everything. Pretty sought-after, nowadays, I presume. Buy a W124 300 TDI (which I know you like) and one of those will be in there. There's also an OM605, which is a 5-cylinder Diesel. Which might even be a little more exotic. You can find those in the W124 250 TDI-Models. There's also non-turbo-ones, those would be in the same cars, the 300D (or 250D for the 5-cylinder OM605), the Mercedes C/E-Class W124 (and some S- , and I think also some of the G-Classes)
There's tons of videos out there. One of the more famous ones (at least in Europe): ruclips.net/video/24afjVqm2Uw/видео.html
Ah you’re loving diesels, cool. I currently have a 2008 Alfa GT Blackline JTDM. It’s a modest 1.9 turbo diesel that started off at 140bhp. mapped now to 190bhp and I love it. Can outrun quite a few cars and looks tight!
Hahahaha Look at that happy kids face! Thank you soo much for this, this really made my evening. Seeing how much you enjoy this end the surprises, its just awesome mate!
Cant wait btw to see your street interviews you mentioned in the other vid today, that will be sooooo class!
8:50 VW v10 TDI In the states even..... (correct me if im wrong) but plate and building style in back ground screams states
Hello fellow Brit 👍
10:00 somewhat sporty... my dude :D i think each of the cars you showed here today so far will make any of the cars you have cry :D
It’s a bit like that fella making fun of that tesla car in his mcclaren, im gonna smoke you and then the tesla just eats that thing alive in the sprint.... (Modern) TDI's are on par with petrol cars
My first (and current) car is a 1.9tdi PD, one of the lower powered variants with only 105bhp but still 240nm torque (about 180lb/ft I believe), super reliable and economic. The higher powered variants of those 1.9 PD are known for making a LOT of power with even just intercooler and injector upgrades.
Love your reactions……….a Brit here, I’ve had 3 BMW diesels and 2 Mercedes diesels over the past 20 years or so, all company cars from new and………they’ve all been fantastic.
In the 1970s I had a 50cc KTM moped that produced 4hp and did 60 miles to the gallon, my current BMW 2L (private car) is a convertible diesel which can produce 225hp, yet when at motorway speeds gives a similar fuel consumption!
All I can say is wow, these BMW engineers are the best! 😊
3:25 In spain we call that engine the 2jz diesel
That list missing om 648 and bkack smoke racing drift car. 850 hp and 1200nm torque. And Finland is saying power made by diesel and brushes wash by petrol
My wife drives a Pugeot RCZ which has a 2.0l inline 4 diesel. It's not on the same par as some of the big displacement ones you just showed but it's essentially a large sports car. 160bhp, 251ft/lb. It's a very unique looking car and doesn't hang about. You wouldn't know it's a diesel when you drive it. It was made to compete with the Audi TT.
I remember a few taxi drivers all drove tuned up OM606 190E's on Zakynthos island years ago, they sounded nuts and you'd see them powersliding with passengers in the back all the time whilst just rolling coal.
I own as a taxi W211 E270 cdi 5 cylinder 6 speed manual and it sounds sick..i have tuned the exhaust just a bit so i can hear it.i recently turned the odometer back to 0 for the second time after it maxed at 999.999.. first engine lasted 1.700.000 of working all day..
My Company Car is a Ford Transit Mk7. A l2.2l Inline 4 with 140 Hp. It has now run 450.000 Kilometers or approximatly 280.000 with the first engine, Clutch and gearbox. 85% of the time is the Trailer connected. Only Regular Maintenance, a new Radiator at 90.000 miles,where a forklift slipped over the wet ground and can't stop. I love this workhorse.
Check out "black smoke racing teemu peltola".... drifting with diesel merzedes
I had an alfa 147 diesel; it was a lot of fun to drive and such a pretty car. I also had a Volvo V40 R-Design with the D4 engine; fastest accelerating car I've owned and such a quiet drive.
I loved my 147 JTDm 16v, best car I've ever had
I own a Mercedes ML 320 CDI with the OM642 V6 DOHC Turbo Intercooled engine and a VGT . Most of the cars that you showcased were modified at least in the exhaust department . Mine is stock but I did somethings to the intake manifold and air filters ... I have to say it's one of the most reliable engines ever , with the right oil and oil change , as is the OM629 Bi-Turbo 4.0 V8 and the king that is the OM606 3.0 inline 6 . Peace !!!
i got a bmw 430d with the single turbo n57, the torque is pretty crazy, it is also pretty dam sporty as well, but reliability wise it has been great over the last 2 years and 25k miles i've had it, bmw also make 35d (n57) and 40d (n57 and b57) versions which are twin turbo as well as a tri turbo (n57s) and quad turbo (b57s) in m50d cars
Back in the days General Motors Europe licensed the FIAT/Alfa Romeo diesel engines (JTD) for use in their european brands Opel/Vauxhall and SAAB. Later the Opel engineered 1.6 TD was also available in the USA for the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain IIRC.
3:48 I was about to ask the same question, as I myself have mentioned that and the bmw M57 (24V CR, cast iron block) multiple times in the comments before..
I'd love to see more BMWs. That twin turbo one in the video sounds very good, BMW also made an I6 engine with triple and quad turbo setups. Amazing engines.
OOOH Ian, I'll post a video about EU diesel Drag racing in the discord later! These deep dives are my favorite type of content you do, please keep them coming
Om606 sounds great and is easily tuned. I’ve got a N57 today in a 435d. Pushing easily over 400 hp, some even up to 600 hp, and rare occasions almost twice that in drag cars 😅
3:57 the OM606 is a great engine can be tuned to 600+bhp and it’s light weight too…its little sister engine the OM605 (the 5 cylinder version) sounds good too and I’ve seen them pushing 380bhp (but think they can do more)
I was 18 3/4. I had my driver's license. 18 was then you time.
I was 20 and worked at a small business. Amploy number 3. And drove almost dayly the BMW 530td Touring from my boss ore the VW Transport VR6 business car. From friends and business parents of my boss Jaguar XJ 6. Range Rover V6 4.6 ltr. MG midd... VW Golf cabriolet. This was a weekly ting, that I drove al that cars. For 6 years.
Greetings from Spakenburg The Netherlands.
My first car was a BMW 318I from 1986.
Just test-drove a modern Audi S4 3.0l V6 TDI ... which surprisingly did not sound like a tractor cold-started and pretty powerful when driving (and I know it can play fake sound through the speakers - which I turned off). 341HP - 700Nm - 250km/h top speed... most likely my next car 😁
That's bus-level torque.
Love your enthusiasm 👏 that om606 sounds incredible i want one myself now 😂
Back in the early 2000's I drove a chipped e39 525tds for a while. Loved the pulling power and the sound
A lot of those engines are common for tuning, the 3L diesel in that X6 was used in the E9x 325d, 330d and 335d, 600hp on stock block and 1000+nm are easely done, although most have to reinforce other things at that point. You can't launch the car or you will break the driveshaft... The 3L diesel from Audi is also a popular choice, with a good exhaust these sound like a diesel supra and they can also make 400-500hp. The OM606 from Mercedes is also +-600hp and it's an older engine. Those diesels can go up to 5500rpm.
"Can you low-key make some frickin wicked builds with these ?"
Audi : "Watch me win the Le Mans 24h with a diesel powered monster 5 years in a row"
Had a tuned Saab 9-3 Aero 2.2TiD with a muffler delete, took it from a boring sounding car to something that was surprisingly accurate to how it performed on the road. Not overly loud, just a wee bit louder and with deeper lows.
I have two BMW 3-series with the BMW M57 engine - I know I'm strange. One is a single turbo with a manual gearbox (a 2004 E46), the other is a bi-turbo with an automatic gearbox (a 2009 E92). I prefer a manual gearbox experience overall, but once really on the move the bi-turbo auto does make me smile when I step on it.
If you wanted to check out an interesting partnership and you could look at videos of Nissan Patrols which have had a BMW M57 engine conversion. The Romanians seem to love throwing those down muddy and rutted forest tracks.
Kicked it out of the stadium, again, dude, yeah, diesel engines can clearly compete against nearly any petrol engine, and because diesel fuel was nearly half the price as petrol fuel, many auto manufacturers offered diesel fueled cars throughout the european community, such a pity the usa doesn't have the option, but then again, petrol prices until recently in the usa was always cheaper than in europe, once again dude, kick ass video, keep in up dude, the mutts nuts Ian, bless you sir
Take a look at the European drifmasters series, there's a Mercedes Benz diesel drift car. The team is called Black Smoke Racing and it's from Finland. This year's champion is also from Finland. Lauri Heinonen. He has a nascar V8 powered nissan s13.
I have a Honda Civic with a 2.2 iDTEC (turbodiesel) engine and I freakin' love it. It can easely rev to 5k RPM, at which point a mechanical limiter blocks the engine from revving more.
Always great to watch novel reactions to something that is mundane for others like a clash of worlds. Great video!
Since you appreciate V12 and Mercs so much, recently videos of old V12 S-Class cars with equal length exhaust headers are popping up. They move like a heavy luxury limousine, but scream like a Pegani Zonda. specifically: a tuner from Japan ("Brilliant Exhaust") is at fault for the recent popularity.
Subaru EE20 diesel owner here. They sound amazing with a bit of derestricting.
Mercedes did the OM605, OM602 and OM617. All are 5 cylinder engines. These things are indestructible and they sound so good. I have lots of fond memories with my dad who used to own a 190D with the OM602.
I have a BMW435d. It has a 6 cylinder 3.0 diesel engine with two turbos, 313hp, and 465lb/ft of torque. Also XDrive. Pulls like a train!!
In line 6 i have in my vw lt van from 1981, my lt from 1978 has a 2.7 diesel. Got a marine diesel engine in my vw buggy from 1960. Also got a diesel outboard engine
At 9:16 that V6 has exhaust flaps. It says "Klappe Zu" for flaps closed, then "Klappe Auf" for flaps open, which is why the sound changes.
Damn, no mention of Audi's legendary 2.5 TDI inline 5. The first TDI engine. Two years later Audi developed the first gen. 1.9TDI, which was an adaptation of the 2.5 engine.
Most advanced diesel engines of their time. And still two of the most reliable diesel engines ever put in a car.
My brother has the 2.5 I5 in his VW t4 Multivan and it sounds freaking awesome, especially above 3500rpm when it starts to pull.
Im very glad you liked my w201 with om606 😊
Please do more diesels, the chills of those sounds are real
My friend had an Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTDM, which made nearly 300 hp. It was a tuned car and had a turbocharger from an Audi 3.0 TDI engine. It also sounded amazing for a diesel and was really fast.
You really need to look into these diesel Merc engines the tuning capabilities are unreal. Om605, om606, om648. Check out diesel pump UK and black smoke racing 😁
I have a BMW E91 wagon 330D M57TUD30 engine. Best car i’ve ever owned, dead reliable and such a sporty Daily driver, Which Also does great mileage!
My multipla has a 1.9jtd, (which is used in a lot of Alfa's and Saabs) it's very torquey and turbo whistle is great.
Please look at black smoke racing Mercedes. Its a drifting Mercedes station wagon from Finland and its insane!
Badass OM606 builds are bread and butter here in Finland, if you google OM606 superturbo you get plenty of videos of heavily tuned OM606’s.
You might soon be getting Scanias in the US again, Bruce Wilson, another youtuber who has recently become obsessed with Scanias, just ordered a brand new Scania R730 I think it was, he recently posted a series of videos from the factory in Sweden, showing the truck being put together and is getting it imported to the US in collaboration with Scania themselves, they're gonna use it as a "press truck" and bring it to truck shows all around the US... Sounds to me like Scania is gonna try to break back into the US market again....
R770 :)
I went to a drift event this year and one of the contestants ran an e46 with the M57 diesel running about 700-800 hp
Inspirational video there Ian.... I'm now on 'Car Sales Australia ' trying to find some thing to waste more money on🤣👍
I love your enthusiasm bro! I miss having a straight piped diesel car with a turbo whistle. Just made me think I have never owned a petrol car! My Mercedes, Audi and BMW have all been diesel and now the van I have got is also diesel! 🤷♂️
The N57 in the bmw x35d along with it's earlier M57 have a low/high pressure boost setup, there is a control valve that makes the system into a compound turbo, small turbo feeds into big turbo but also has a bypass route, deleting the DPF/Cat will make these alone whistle, make .5 psi @idle, standard boost pressure around the 28psi mark, I have a BMW E60 535D M-Sport LCI, it drives like an NA petrol in linearity throttle & rev wise but you have 560nm on tap at 1800rpm and 287hp towards a 5000rpm redline
You're about to experience them in the US at some point. Bruce Wilson (youtube), dude in Florida, has imported a *factory new* unit to the US that should be arriving before year end. It's an official Scania collaboration. He filmed _everything_ in the factory in Sweden, a complete build tour!
My weekend toy is a Subaru but my daily for years has been diesels, my current one is a 2.2 with 450nm torque, in a 2013 Ford Mondeo TXS, love a good diesel engine
The last Diesel reminds me of "Home Improvement" and Tim Taylor doing his "HR HR HR"
Congrats on 200k mate!
The 420CDI 400CDI sounds famililar like a AMG 55 63
And the V6 TDI sounds like a low revving nissan gtr 35
My dad has an Alfa Romeo diesel. It’s the Stelvio, the SUV that is also sold in America, and it’s a 2.0L 4 cylinder with 210hp. It sounds pretty standard.
He also has an old Range Rover Sport from 2011 with a 3.0L V6 Diesel, 250hp, and that engine does a great job at being smooth and quiet while also being pretty fast for a 2800kg (6100lbs) car. That’s what happens when you have 600Nm (442
Japan had a bunch of interesting diesels.
I had a 1990 Nissan Laurel with a RD28 which i did silly things to.
Made decent power all the way up to 7200rpm!
My math teacher in high school owns a v10 tdi tuareg and its awesome
The Audi A8 TDI does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, so yes, there are some 'low-key' sporty diesels. Before the 530d I have now, I had a tuned 335d that would light the tyres from 70mph. Red lines on modern diesels are usually 5 - 5.5K but the OM606 motor will rev to the moon.
Once here where i live in Finland, I heard in front of me in the trafficlights a bmw 330 or 335 diesel wagon. It mustve been single turbo modded because i heard the turbo spool in to my car sooo damn clearly it was insane.
I own a '07 BMW X3 E83 2.0 diesel. Originaly it has 177 HP but with a "small" hybrid turbo and a simple ECU repro, it gives now 281 HP. The best thing is that it drinks only 6.5 l/100 km (about 36 mpg)
Diesel cars are very underrated in USA.
Used to roll coal with my E300 Turbodiesel here in Michigan until rust did us part... OM606.962. I regret not keeping it for the drivetrain and putting that in a S124, S123 or W126 instead. Quick tune from @DieselPumpUK would have been my choice.
Got to drive a V10TDI Touareg that was a company car at my employer in Germany back in 2005 and an ML420 CDI as well. Had many BMW 530/535d rental cars in Germany and always liked them. The V10TDI was my favorite of the bunch.
Had a VW Golf mk4 1.9 GTTDI with a stage 2 map. What a car!!
My 3.0 V6 A6 C6 Has S6 style quad pipes and makes a lovely low rumble. I don't think I could go back to sub 3L and less than 6 cylinders, 240bhp is so nice, it pulls from 0-70mph rapidly, and from 70+ without changing down a gear.
@10:40 question, yes there are wicked tuned Diesels :) specially the Audi A5's they look like diesel RS5's- Go check the DarkSide Developments A5 it looks nuts
The bmw M57 is what was in that X6. Single turbo they were up to 235bhp, the twin turbo variants were usually 286bhp with some of the later ones being over 300bhp.
The chassis you're looking at 3:24 is the w201, which originally came with "just" the OM604 (2.0/2.2L 4 cylinder NA) and OM605 (2.5L 5 cylinder NA or turbocharged). The OM606 is mainly found in the W124 and W210 chassis (and a few others G-wagen/S-class from the early to late 90's).
My pal has an e60 5 series 330d, nice exhaust on it, remap, couple of spicy bits... Sounds like it wants to eat the road and pulls like a train.
Diesels are sick
That 35d engine is M57 an it is available also for e90 3series, e60 5-series etc. Amazing engine, sounds good, is known for reliability and phenomenal mpg for 400hp/600ftlbs, with only few mods, and a remap. I have a 335d with this same engine and i just love it!
Also 6 series
I was driving behind a Vauxhall Corsa D 1.3 diesel yesterday, in the UK, which was pumping black smoke out the back, most likely unintentionally 😂
My dad has a 2006 Audi A6 with the 3.0 V6 TDI that he's owned since new.
It's a great engine, more than enough power for regular driving but you can still get decent gas mileage, like around 8l/100km (~30 US mpg). They are also known to reach some incredible mileage but my dad barely drives the car, so it's only done about 250k km (~150k miles) over it's 18 years of life. No problems so far.
My Dad has a BMW M340 Diesel combi all wheel drive.
Inline 6, 340 PS and 700 Nm Torque, 4,6 sek from 0 to 100 kp/h also doesnt sound like a diesel.
The best thing it only takes 5.8 liter diesel per 100km.😅
Offtopic, but there is a channel where they do things with trucks and they are trying to get a new Scania to the USA. So maybe a change for you to see one in rl up close. The channel is Bruce Wilson.
i have an vauxhall (opel) corsa d 2011 with a 1.7cdti diesel engine which sound phenomenal. you should look at diesel engines in small euro hatchbacks as you get the fiesta option in one
The BMW 3.0 (M57) engine wasnt only in the X6. I have a pre LCI E60 35d with the iron engine block. stock 272 HP, but with a bit of tuning mine makes now @370 HP and 750 Nm. The LCI models got the improved M57 engine with piezo injectors, stock 282 HP. With an R90 pump and 50d injectors they can make around 500 HP.
I have 2 diesel cars. A VW passat variant 1.6 tdi and a Fiat 500L 1.3 multijet. Both are great.
v10 TDi always my favourite engine
I’ve got a 1.9 JTD Alfa Romeo GT from 2004. It’s torque, bulletproof, great sounding if you like diesels (as I do) and very economical at eating up motorway miles. Wouldn’t even swap it for V6 Busso if I was offered money for it.
