I've got a Steed Speed manifold on my 3406E and it's freaking beautiful. I'm surprised more guys aren't using them, they're all busy circle jerking over PDI.. Your work really is next level man can't get enough of your content.
The quality of the kit you guys do is amazing, Love to have one of your setups in a future build but will have to dream for now. Thanks for the upload and all the work you do :)
Hello from Central America, Republic of Panama :) Love your vids! I lost my '99 benz wagon with the om606 in a freak fire caused by an alternator short early this year and now only dream of getting one of your 500hp crate engines from you. I have my eye on another wagon with the 606 I have found down here and may have to just build it myself. Maybe I'd keep it in the wagon and figure out the tranny or find something else to drop it in. Thanks for the great content and inspiration. You rock!
Piece of beauty, I'd suggest a label or sticker hanging from the engine says there is no oil inside clear & in big font & mention this also in the contract or shipping documents, I'd be excited if i deliver anything like that, i may not think twice to start it immediately 🤷♂️😅
I bought a pre-facelift w210 E300 (OM606 non-turbo) with the intention to eventually swap in one of these bad boys... I'm currently working on saving said load of money... It might be a while, but I'll get there!
Hi Luke. Fabulous job. Can you measure and weight your crate engine. Also how much shorter is the 5cyl. Can the engine be tipped to the side. If so how much as I have space restrictions. Thanks Jim
I am a simple chap that does not want many things in life but Jesus Jimmy I want one of these in a 350/400hp. I have been wanting to beef up my Ford Ranger for years. The WL turbo just does not do it for me any more... I am working on the loads of cash so I can bother you. Cheers for the video.
Your videos in my opinion are the best on how to create diesel monsters what kind of horsepower can you get out of a OM606 with the stock internals only tinkering with the externals? For example bigger turbo bigger fuel pump etc what's the highest horsepower and torque ratings you can get out of this engine?
I don’t want to nitpick since your videos and content is awesome and I am currently sourcing a truck for an OM606 build, but I did a promotional video for Steed Speed and were Canadian not American ;) But either way, love the videos and the products you produce! I can’t wait to get one together of my own!
Hello everyone. Hope you all are fine. You're driving us crazy with your swapping and your amazing work DieselPumpUK.... I own a C class 250 TD OM605. I have a problem with an overheating engine, that's fact push the aux fan to run to low the engine temprature. What I did with my car is : I have a problem with a cylinder head. I bought a new one, the engine runs now much better and smooth. The older cylinder head was at its worse state 😝 I removed the oil Refrigerant (cooler) because 2 times it caused me water and engine oil mixture soooo bad failure. Now after asking for an advices from many mechanics I believe I have to remove the Radiator to clean in the bench. So, I hope to get some advice or a help, anything would help and thank you in advance.
As always yall have awesome builds Question why dose the braided oil return hose hose go over the exhaust manifold, would it not collect as much heat if it went down from the turbo and under the manifold just asking 👍
Because I’ve built it and don’t want you to fuck it up. If that isn’t a decree, I’ve never heard one! Love your content and you’ve made me obsessed with the OM606.
Some time ago I read that the government was talking about making any engine conversion have engine number and the previous vehicles details before you could register it. This is NOT the case I take it?! My dream is to put one of these in a1982 Chevy Caprice or old London taxi.....or cortina! You never seem to mention the 4 cylinder version?
"The heater outlet shouldn't be blocked" - that's interesting, because that's what some bodies will do, like w124 - they do block those passages in stock configuration.
@@Diesel8290 D/P. Watch the YT videos "PNG river crossing 1 & 2" or guess how long the alternator will last Downunder after a drenching ! ! Could one invert the custom exhaust manifold to a low mount and shift this alternator to higher position ? V.
@@vincentpoole7588 I've had water up past my bonnet for a continuous 2 hours when I got stuck in my 4x4, alternator was fine, was also the stock 15 year old unit at the time, depends on how much shit is actually in the water (debris etc), the only issue was airbag sensors ate shit due to the interior filling with water.
Do you do anything with the om642 engine ? Love mine in my c class, just made a much less restrictive DIY air filter using a standard filter housing but using specialist air filtration foam. Made a nice difference and lot less restrictive, hybrid turbo next me thinks
What are these engines capable of HP & Torque wise reliably? I've built my old LBZ duramax and now have a 21 Powerstroke. Been throwing around the idea of building a 72 K5 Blazer with a Cummins/Allison 6 speed combo or a supercharged LS/LT gas. 500HP & 800 TQ would be a great fit and I assume these Merc diesels are much lighter than a Cummins? Also what manual trans can survive with that amount of tq? Cool stuff BTW!
He does a video weighing a 5.9 12V, these engines are half the weight supposedly. Deboss Garage does a video on these things as well. I have a '90 Suburban 2500 and this would be a good option, but price is a real concern. Junk yard 5.3 with a cam and a tune is hard to ignore.
Would you enhance a Japanese MMC 2.5L 4D56 engine to get over 200 BHP at least or achieve some unexpected,ridiculous Torque figures. I’m not an engineer, I just love cars.
4D56 engines can be fitted with a bigger plunger in the VE pump, injectors out of a 4M40-T engine. More boost up to around 20psi (safe at that). A lot depends on the rocker arm type too. There are roller rockers and slipper type. Roller rockers are the better but must have a cam to suit. The harmonic balancers can flog the crankshaft keyway out due to crankbolt not being long enuf or torqued up properly.
Would love this lump or simular in my sprinter cant get it running since new injectors need star diagnostics. Witch be brutal if away camping in middle of know were 🙈+ plus euro 5 lumps are gutless
Greatings from Greece 🇬🇷 nice job keep going ! I’m wondering if you could make an adapter to connect this beast with a marine leg like this(ALPHA 1 ONE GEN 2 STERNDRIVE MERCRUISER 4CYL V6 V8 MERCURY)? 👌
Alpha 1 will handle about 400hp petrol max and probably 300hp in diesel (there is no BHP) in marine terms, the oil burner having lots more low down torque, if you want to go higher power then you need to upgrade to a Bravo Drive !
I want one of these engines in a classic Mercedes van,, sick of hearing about euro 6 and ecu's and warning lights coming up for no reason,, gimme the black smoke 🖤
Hi! 14000/22000 £ or €? I have a W211 V6 280 Cdi (facelift) with the OM648. I'am playing a bit with the idea of changing to this 500hp OM606 in my W211
Not sure what Euro rating this lump would be but I am assuming customers run these with no DOC's or DPF, so do you tailor the map to reduce smoke etc?? Big fan of big power diesels but my BMW M57 engine with no traps just stink and smoke like mad, love the engine but sick of the smell and smoke.
🤣 "I built this engine and I don't want you to fuck it up". 🤣
Fair enough
Beautiful engineering. Well done. Pushing the limits beyond .......

Do you guys do a P pump conversion for 1HD-FT Toyota’s?
Great video buy the way!
👍🇦🇺
Where do I find some info on buying an OM 606 Crate Engine ?
Love your stuff !
As always yall have awesome builds
Question why dose the braided oil return hose hose go over the exhaust manifold, would it not collect as much heat if it went down from the turbo and under the manifold just asking 👍
The pump vacuum control could be adjust via an electronic boost controller with a feed back from a wideband.
5:58 the injection system looks like a little steam train stuck to a downsized tanker engine 😂. Love that inlet manifold 👌

Do you guys do anything for OM651 engines? and/or has anyone successfully swapped an OM606 into a merc W204?
I need it! Lol
Will there be plans for a 2.5L I5 or small as possible?
What kind of Hwy mileage on a W124 would you guess.
Ship to USA?
fantastic engine programme :D . Im herassing my local boating community plz let me install one xD or 2 on your yacht xD
This is incredible!
What a beautiful piece of kit 👌
What price would the 500bhp engine cost?
People who can afford it, won't mind ... people who work hard for a living don't really want to know the price.
10 years hard labour

They do not block it, it is re-directed

That’s the factory location for the alternator

i hope that santa wil give me also such an nice present
Do you offer any OM642 Upgrades?
would love to see a video on a 5 cylinder diesel
He's done one. Look at dpuk vids.
I want one ...how much .. will it feet in a w123 with the original transmission .. I just rebuilt the trany and need more power .
HA was thinking I would pass out if someone opened a crate with that in it in front of me.
Wonder how much that build is, bet it can take an absolute hammering

Till which performance upgrade can you expect about the same lifespan as an OEM?
Nice, whats the price for this set? Interesting for y61
really love one how much and do you ship to Australia
Brilliant mate. Will these units fit into a Hilux.?
Yes nice How Much ? and can you ship to Australia ???
Que hermosura de Motor
i would have a hear attack if i got to open one of your engines.
What is the cost of this exact crate package?
This guy converts more gasoline to diesel men than Mercedes itself.

Have you ever used VNT turbos on these engines?
heavy one this one , Mr D from Mr D
What's the starting point in terms of cost Luke? I know it depends on a number of things but an idea would be good.
website says around 20k
What’s price for this build?
What is the price of one of these engines, plus shipping to New Zealand?
How is it ggoing?,gorgeous ! 😎
And can it get shipped to usa?
Do you have any videos of what a screamer pipe sounds like on a diesel please?
Yes look at the om613 video it shows one lighting up from underneath
Cheers! It doesn't disappoint! It's at 5:30 on the om613 video for anyone that's interested.
How much in USD and shipped to North Carolina?
How much does that engine weigh? It is giving me an idea.

Everything stock?
How did you fix problem on EGR code if you remove EGR on om606 1998 and 1999
