Alternatives to the plastic intake manifold on OM605 - Eric78 - 07-07-2013
Only just realised yesterday that the intake manifold & crossover pipe on this engine are plastic, I'm guessing these won't withstand big turbos, so what are the alternatives?

you can use aluminium 6 cylinder manifold and cut one port off.

The plastic intakes are actually pretty damn strong and don't conduct the heat anything like as much so I wouldn't dismiss it just because it's plastic. Course it depends how far your going and if you need to change the shape at all.

Anything to do with the 606 will be harder to get here than this engine was.

Do you think it can handle 3bars?

You can always trace a gasket onto some aluminum and make a plenum

Your the man that can find out
If it wasn't such a pain to seal all the holes I would pressure test mine because I can't use it anyway.
If you cant get a 606 inlet and you need it to be alloy then I think you will have to make your own.

It will be tested in my 250tdt dailydriver! It looks like a good and strong casting, so let`s hope it dont seperate...

With that pump im sure the engine will separet before the inlet manifold....
