Turbo+parts from 2.9L 602.980 to OM602 NA - jellydonut - 01-07-2013

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if the exhaust manifold, turbocharger, and intake manifold from the 2.9L OM602.980 (Mercedes Sprinter, etc etc) is a bolt-on to the OM602 N/A engine?

I tried doing a search, but didn't find anything. It's hard to define the proper search terms for this.

Can you look at photos of gaskets online? That should help a little

Pretty sure most of it would bolt on. You will have to fabricate oil supply/drain for the turbo.

I'm thinking I would make a standalone pipes+small pump+cooler for the turbo itself. It would be some extra work, but I wouldn't have to mess with the engine in any way, could bring it back to OEM if I wanted to. As an added bonus, I could use proper turbine oil for it, and avoid diesel soot contamination in the oil. (or at least be able to tell the exhaust side seals are fucked when the turbine oil turns black..)

I'm planning on using junkyard parts only, so shouldn't be too spendy all in all. I've found the manifold, turbo, and oil piping from the Sprinter, and it adds up to €400 all in all.

Bumping my old thread!

How much can you realistically expect to get if you bolt on a turbo and do the full load IP adjustment trick as described in the pinned thread in this forum?

It's going to cost me a bit to do this if I do it properly, that is to say, standalone lubrication, and an EGT probe + gauge. It would help my motivation if I knew I was getting more than just more noise for my trouble.

I realize I would have to get an upgraded pump to make a lot more, but that's just inappropriate to do on an N/A engine. I don't want to spend that much either.

Can I get at least 30 hp +/- by doing this?

Sell me the old injector pump off of the om602.980 or get a mechanical VE body pump & use that for extra fuel. In my opinion, others might disagree with me. Turning up a n/a pump for turbo application maybe will give you 20hp.

Ah. That's a shame.

I don't want to invest that much in it. After all, it's an old NA 10-valve, and the car clunks if I change gears fast, so I doubt it would hold up under any kind of power.

I'll save my aspirations for when I have a garage and can do a proper engine swap and complete driveline swap. Preferably on a less rusty W124 to boot!
