OM606 big power questions
OM606 big power questions
Hello. I'm new to this forum,and been looking around for first,now it's time to ask some question.
A fiend of mine is building a pullingtractor for the oldstock class.
He wants to run in the 14oo and 1800kg class.
The limits for the engine are 3.5L max,one turbo and no rpm limit,so the engine will be a OM606.
So far we have the engine,an big holset HX55v and he had a 10mm P-pump and a mccormick tractor.
The powergoals are 600+....
We're not sure the p-pump will go one the engine,so here some questions.
What are the costs of a Myne pump?
Are they direct order or is there a site witch i havend found yet.
Are there higher flowing nozzle's for the 606?
I asumme we have to drop the CR,what's the best way:moding pistons or thicker gasket?
Thanks
Unless you plan on rebuilding the engine after every match i suggest the cheaper easier route of an already proven and aftermarket supported engine(i.e. cummins, powerstroke, etc.) but if you do end up building the engine please let us know.
Are you allowed to de-cube the engine? We do alot of tractor pulling in this area and they generally dont allow it here. However if you are allowed to in your sanction, going with an IH, JD, or any of the pickup truck engines will give you huge aftermarket parts availability.
Some of the highest powered tractors in the world are made in this area. However they are all direct injected engines. A similar class to what you described that we have here would be the prostock class. 640 cid max, no rpm limit, and one charger of any size. So approximately 10.4 liters if my conversion was correct.
In the 1400kg oldstock we have an weight limit of 1400kg max... so no IH,jd or cummins,sorry... and the tracktor has to be 25 years and older.

My friend is currently running an 3.6 audi v8 in an old ford dextra.
Due to some strange reason id can run intercoolers an idi not.....
So an OM606 was the powermaker of choice......

We will use the om606 and ofcourse i will update as often as i can.
For the injectors,who knows more on higher flow?...

Why would you need other than stock?
