(08-24-2010, 01:01 PM)mbenzo300td Jonbob, i bought my coolant line from a member off of peachparts. There was also u 601 in the local wrecking yard that turned up. So what are your plans for a downpipe with the hx35?3" good size, but 3.5" can go pretty far with power. I have 3,5" but i haven t measure pressure of db, maybe need bigger.

(08-24-2010, 02:25 PM)jonbobshinigin As for the coolant line. I think I am going to buy a 606 water pump housing, pump, and go from there. Not sure how different that will be but I am sure I can find a parts car to pull from for that piece.Why you dont use 603 own pump housing? 603 and 606 housing s cant mix. 606 housing has little bore what dont be on 603. There will be leaking water all the way of garage

Mmm...I read that the 606 is more efficient and can swap. I'm concerned cause my 603 hits 100-110 when I step on it and ac is on. So Id like to get temps down a bit.

Yeh, I had an 80 in, and it was getting warm to I replaced it with a brand new 80 and it did not change. Radiator, water pump, fan clutch have all been replaced in the last 2 years. Coolant has been flushed several times with the benz coolant. ALDA is removed and I get a lot of black smoke so who knows! I am however running an original #14 head but it does not hold pressure overnight or have any of the pressure signs of a bad gasket/head. I definitely need to get this resolved before giving it more juice!
I'm also not sure how to check my timing...it runs great so I have no reason to believe it is off but I doubt it had ever been adjusted from stock settings.
1) I don't understand why the W140 manifold won't work with the coolant pipe. It comes from an OM603 engine. Are you saying the .960 and/or .961 coolant pipe is different and will not work with the .971 manifold? In that case, the pipe used on the Euro-spec .96x will work, and could probably be purchased new (no idea on cost though).
2) The 606.96x water pump housing and water pump bolt right up to the 603.960 block and it works fine. I have this exact setup (along with the 606 turbo fan clutch & 11-blade fan) on my black '87 300D, although it was the previous owner who installed it, not me. I plan to duplicate this setup on my blue 87 300D. The 606 w/p has a larger impeller and increased capacity.
3) We have much warmer climate in the USA, and we have air conditioning, which means AC condensers. Therefore we have higher engine temps in summertime compared to Finland. I've seen almost zero SuperTurbos with factory air conditioning. It's simply not an option to delete the AC in the USA. It hit 104F today in Cupertino (CA). Engine temps ain't gonna stay at 85C in that environment at full load, or with stop & go traffic with the AC on. Be careful when comparing apples & oranges!

I did read on another post that some modifying was required to get the 606 housing to work on the 603...I do not remember where however.
(08-24-2010, 10:19 PM)jonbobshinigin I did read on another post that some modifying was required to get the 606 housing to work on the 603...I do not remember where however.The 606 housing lacks pre-drilled-and-tapped holes which are present on the 603 housing. However for the 603.96x in the USA, the holes are not required anyway... there was one present originally for the 50C temp switch that actived the cold shift softener circuit, but I've had that disabled on all my cars for a long time - so the switch can go. There are bosses present where you could drill & tap if desired.
(08-24-2010, 10:16 PM)aaa The w124 960 pipe is different from the w126 961/971 pipe. And the 126 pipe isn't easy to use in a w124.Here's a couple of photos of the pipe in question, on a USA-spec .960 engine.

GSXR - You are correct in that I am wanting AC here in Florida. That is part of my daily driver requirement.
Muuris - Your info has been great, if you do not hang around here, come on over to PeachParts Diesel Tuning section! I believe it is agreed that if we took a poll, that the majority would vote that ForcedInduction's attitude and methods of communicating are certainly not preferable.
Here seems to be the format:
Forced joins a forum, has good knowledge most of the time. His delivery is often questionable and has an attitude. A confrontation occurs whereby he either gets banned, leaves, or members of that community leave, and/or the forum becomes private. He is the common factor.
Whether he is right or wrong,his method of discussing the matter pisses people off and then people like Jeemu and Muuris...actual Finns with actual fast cars leave.

I do not want, need, or dream of AC in any of my cars here in Southern California.... No need. AC is for weenies . I will also try my condenser as a intercooler radiator...
I agree with all of you actually to some extent. It seems as though forced is on some kind of god pedestal most of the time, speaking way above a beginner (me) or somewhat experienced person's knowledge; giving very vague, short, answers with no real usable info.
No reason to post and keep secrets.

(08-25-2010, 07:15 PM)ForcedInduction I notice you skipped the question "In fact, the OM602.98x uses a VE rotary pump. Why hasn't anybody fitted one of them if the rotary pumps are so awesome?"I wrote these, I believe they include my answer to that question also:
(08-25-2010, 08:06 AM)muuris Was I talking about high power or better timing? Rotary is not good for heavy fueling, that is known. P7100 is ultimate for max power.
(08-25-2010, 08:06 AM)muuris I wouldn't take a rotary, except for 4-cyl engine. Merc IP + that timing device would be worth something.

Over here we have pickups making over 300hp and Ford's new PowerStroke will be 400hp, stock. All of which have used wastegated turbos in their 250-305hp range and a normal VNT to over 300HP. Ford's new PowerStroke being an exception, it uses a VNT with a wastegate due to its extremely poor design (two parallel compressors with a single tiny turbine).

I agree, 250 hp is mid-range power. But on this forum, it is definitely high power. Other turbos might have bigger internal wastegate, but as for the HX35 which was under discussion, I've told my experiences.
I wouldn't want rotary for more than 4-cyl engine because of fueling problems at high revs. I know there is about 350 hp Audi/VW I5 diesel in Finland, with VE pump. For a 250 hp engine its good option as it's cheap and better to tune than basic mechanical M/MW. Even better when talking about DDE-VE. But when wanting higher hp, it becomes inevitably a restriction. Others have put 14mm distributors, but those pumps just haven't lasted for long because of huge internal stresses (+timing belt stress) and non-robust internals.
I'd put common rail on 606, if I had the funds.

(08-26-2010, 08:58 AM)winmuttNot that I know of. Bosch CR equipment is +10 000eur. It seems that those who need civilized power and max low end grunt go for newer CR engines in the first place.

(08-26-2010, 09:28 AM)tomnik keeping the PCs or DI? DI means changing pistons and head...Of course meaning only injection control. Makes no sense converting 606 to DI, as there already is CDI and you would lose the best thing in the engine (power at high revs).
it will end up in electronics to control the injection (s).

(08-26-2010, 05:10 PM)ForcedInduction How about the earlier mechanical VE6 from a Cummins on a 603/606?But then you're stuck with around 300 hp. Although I believe it could be made more drivable than same power with M pump.
It wouldn't be horribly difficult to machine a drive coupler adapter and lock up the chain timer.
Quote:With the money it would cost for R&D, and you'd still have to live with the 15% IDI loss..Don't care about IDI loss if the upside is more than 600 hp compared to about 400.

(08-27-2010, 01:06 AM)muuris But then you're stuck with around 300 hp.300hp is a hell of a lot better than 148/178hp. I know I'd be pretty happy to have that with better timing range.

I now have the HX35 in my possession and would like to get it installed here soon. I am still unclear about a couple of things:
Since this turbo is larger and heavier, what sort of bracket do I need to support it other than the Manifold itself?
I am assuming that the stock oil lines are not going to line up, what is the process to remedy this?
I would make brackets like Rudolf made on his super turbo to his intake manifold as for the oil line's I put the whole turbo set up on my 240d and then measured the lines and had them made at a local pipe and hose shop!
I just looked through his project photos and did not see any bracketry for the turbo. Can you link me?
Sorry I was referring to the ones on his intake manifold!
But I still think this would work for the turbo just fabricate different mounts
I would connect from the top of the turbo to the intake manifold!
Just make sure the joints have no plastic parts in them or it will melt!
I think some people put a bracket at the back of the turbo by the exhaust connection to the turbocharger to the block or engine mounts
Image from Rudolf
When I attach the HX 40 to my OM606, I'll be fabricating a couple of steel struts from the turbo down to the engine block where the mount is attached. That's a lot of mass hanging out there vibrating! Plus, it's supporting the front part of the exhaust system.
For a tube manifold, thats a lot of weight. For a cast iron manifold, thats nothing.
So Forced, are you suggesting I do not worry about it? Then maybe I can add something in there later if necessary? I am pretty sure that the stock turbo has some kind of support.
None that I can see in stock pictures of the 606. The euro-603 has the support bracket bolted to the manifold. Worst case, you can use an elongated flange stud and bolt a support there.
My iron manifold has been supporting the GT22 for the last 5 years plus the A/W intercooler for the last year without a problem.
That is good info Forced, thank you very much! I am trying to find a diagram of the OEM setup so I can see what the turbo oil lines look like so I ca get an idea as to what I need to have made. Can this be done with some sort of flexible stainless line?
I guess at this stage I am going to install the Turbo and run a 3" straight pipe and see what it does. I may throw on a cone filter as well. I am hoping that lag time and efficiency won't be too much worse than stock.
Yea it should be fine on my 240d turbo it has high pressure high temp rubber feed/ return lines the shop that made up my lines recommended them for cost over stainless braided lines!
Yes, any hydraulic line will work fine if its rated for at least 250*f and 120psi working pressure.
I use Parker Push-Lok 836 1/4" hose with -4 JIC fittings. No ugly clamps or hydraulic fitting press needed. Parker also has a Push-Lok banjo fitting that will fit right in place of the stock oil tube.
that's what I have on the 240d turbo to an AN style fitting!
Ok, that all sounds great. I am familiar with the push-lock hose and JIC fittings from a place I used to work that built fuel tanks and enclosures for the generator industry. I have not seen what the current oil lines look like but I am assuming they are metal pipes with flanges on each end. Is this correct?
Once the Holset is in place, I am assuming that I can weld a male end to a flange to adapt to the JIC fitting? I know I am asking alot! So essentially I could have each hose with female JICs on each end, and have male JICs welded on a bracket for where each connects to turbo and engine?
I use a male-male coupler a foot before the turbo, that way if I change turbo types I don't have to remake the entire line, contort behind the filter housing or break the banjo fitting's crush washer seal.
Holset uses an M12x1.5 feed. Parker has a fitting that works perfect for it.
On my turbo, the inlet side seems like it would take something like what is shown in the picture. But on the outlet side it has the same setup, but without the holes necessary to mount an adapter like this. It also had and oring sitting in a groove. If it is not obvious, I have never removed or installed a turbo. As usual I am more researched then I am experienced. I plan on taking a look at the stock turbo setup closely soon.
Bump...my car is down for a week waiting on Alternator so I may be doing this soon and I am getting together a parts list. Can someone re-read the last post and tell me what I need?
It appears that I need an oil return flange:

That is for oil "out", what do I need for oil "in"?
While I am saving up for a Myna Build, I plan on turning my pump up to full load, and installing an Intercooler. I have decided to use the passenger side area in front of the wheel well. It may not me ideal, but it should keep my temps down a bit and allow me to get some data with Full Load and my HX35. I have not measured underneath there yet, but what are the minimum requirements I should look at? When I began looking I saw all sorts of sizes, thickness, and CFM. I don't mine spending a bit on a good one and I am fine with installing a fan on it if necessary. Any recommendations?
