(12-30-2022, 04:37 PM)futureswap I'm just curious how the 'big power' mercedes diesels go as far as internals upgrades... i'm referring just to normal car use right now. (not towing use like i'm planning)
I get everything needs upgraded turbos, injectors, pumps, but how strong are the parts? I've seen people make 500hp, 600hp, I think even one claimed 700hp build somewhere, at some point, out of a 6cyl...
Are there off the shelf upgraded rods and pistons or is everything custom? How do cranks hold together and head gaskets and when do people use studs, and and and etc... can someone with more experience let me know whats out there? I might want to use some stronger parts in my lower power tow build is all.
As someone who put an om606 in their truck and uses it from time to time to tow...can I ask why you aren't looking at a 4bt or similar engines designed for towing? or a om648 for that matter.
weight and size was what drove me to the 606 as a 4bt/6bt wouldn't fit in my toyota. that said, because these motors are more bore than stroke they don't have have the same grunt (or potential for grunt) off idle.
