Just got a OM.606!--Wow, the turbo is TINY! - Alastair E - 08-06-2010
The Turbine housing cant be more than three inches diameter....
How on earth does this thing Breathe through That!
Ive seen 1.9 Citroen XUD-9 with bigger turbos than That!
--Wonder what would happen if I bunged it on a 617!

Faster spooling. Wonder if the tradeoff is good.

Nicely done Alastair... How rotten is the 210 it's attached to? Is it still drivable, I can't remember if you told me before.
I got an IP coming next week so should have mine up and running sometime next week.
Let me know if you want elements from Tom and a manifold from kkd, perhaps we can combine shipping?

Hi Hugh,
The story goes, that this car was stored in a barn for a while. A rat got in and ate the wiring for the windscreen-wipers....
It was taken to a garage and as there are other issues (corrosion of front wings) and a badly cracked screen (just inside 'Zone A') it would cost way too much--the owner decided-- to fix and MOT.
It was left at the garage for a year or so, then a friend bought it complete for its alloy wheels, as the garage just wanted it gone.
He sold on its interior and I have whats left. A wheel-less and interior-less, rather rusty 210 with a great engine--Not sure what the trans is like, but reckon its prolly OK.
Its got full service history to 130K and has done 140K total....
Engine is very quiet and clean,--even inside-- starts really well and has next to no 'blow-by'
I'm gonna take engine and trans out complete, strip the car of all 'black-boxes' and other electronics on Monday....
The car as-is cost me 300 quid, Pretty good I thought, these engines alone seem to go for 5-600 I gather!
--Anything you need from a W210?
--I'll have to hold off getting the parts for super-turbo, as last Monday, I lost my job.....
--Thanks for the offer though.....

Sorry to hear about your work Alastair, but it sounds like you got a good deal getting the whole car for what I paid for my slightly burnt engine!
If I need any bits, I'll let you know, thanks for the offer.
Hugh
