W210 OM606 Fueling??? Experts needed!
W210 OM606 Fueling??? Experts needed!
Ok...so a lot of you have probably seen my ad for my car I'm trying to sell. Well since nobody seems interested I might as well have some more fun with the car!
So my plan is to make this thing faster in some way shape or form.
So what are my options here??? I got a lot of questions!!!
Question 1: What is the maximum power that this stock OM606 pump will provide? I have seen the USA Speed Tuning products that will bump the power to roughly 215hp but how much more is available?
Question 2: Are there other companies offering tuning for this car/powertrain? Better options than Speed Tuning?
Question 3: Can I have larger elements installed and still retain my ecm controlled throttle?
Question 4: How soon before the trans scatters all over the road? I guess I would really like to know if these transmissions are strong or not really. I got 300,000+ miles and the fluid looks damn good for being an original trans...but will I destroy the trans with a chip?
I'm really looking to start with a chip, but would also like to know how far I can push the power and still retain driveability and reliability. Thanks for your input and expertise in advance!
If it dont smoke black, send it back! Sorry EPA
Thank you for the quick reply! 250hp was a little more than I expected! Corrtect me if I'm wrong, but I have heard these engines can handle 400hp in stock form. Maybe? Is there a common turbo that people swap out on these?
250hp is what the pump can flow, but it can't flow that much safely due to the long injection duration. Thats why the tuners only bump it to 215hp.
So at the 250hp mark it stresses the pump too much?
No. The injection duration is too long. The fuel is injected too late into combustion and can't burn completely, it results in unsafe exhaust temperatures.
Ah! I read ya! Just more of a reason for more air!
I'll probably come up with something
What ya need is an EGT gauge! And eventual a built pump!
For sure! My plan at the moment is an A pillar guage pod with EGT's and boost.
Can you advance IP timing a little to battle the long injection duration?
Waaaaaaa!
Injection would be far too advanced. You'd end up partially compressing expanding gasses.

I'm thinkin I'm going to go with the max fuel tune and use water injection controlled by a boost switch. It should drop the egt's and make more power.

I understand that the injection duration will be too long, but I really dont want to install larger elements in the pump unless I have to have the pump rebuilt.
Also I cant tune the car on a dyno since I don't know anyone in the area with the capabilities of modifying the ecu.
Basically I am looking at from the position that I would rather have 250hp than 215hp and if I have to inject water thats ok with me since water will cool the egt's and generally make some power. If it smokes, I'm ok with it since I like smoke and I can make people behind me mad
The point is: when you go beyond a certain point, you will not get any more power. Only smoke and heat. Water injection won't give any more power on this case.
As the stock turbo is small, that will also heavily increase backpressure and EGT when trying to get the max out of stock pump. Are you ok with a cracked cylinder head?
A couple of examples, so you would get the point:
With bigger turbo and reasonable injection duration = 240hp and no smoke, no excessive heat load.
With bigger/stock turbo and very long injection duration = 239hp, LOTS of heat and LOTS of smoke. Basically this is the same even with water injection, compared to the other option.
What is considered a dangerous egp on the 606?

I know this would be a band aid, but let me know what u guys think of this idea.
What if I went with the max fuel tune in the ecu and then limited the accelerator pedal with an adjustable mechanism between the pedal and floor board.
This way I will have the maximum capability of the pump and I could then adjust the amount of fuel/egt/egp on the dyno. Good idea? Bad idea? Indifferent? Possible shifting issues?

Not cars driven by peg legged pirates...
I went with the 215hp tune and am happy with the performance...the tune really woke this thing up!

Some OM617's had the M type, others the MW. The M is found on the 60x series and the electronic version on the OM606.912 and 606.962.
(10-05-2010, 12:00 PM)Olivier jeemu, do you mean its best if the boost is highter then the egt or highter then 20 psi?
Cheers.
Hi Muuris,
first I have no knowledge on this as its new for me, this is why I am asking questions. Second it doesn't feel like common sense to me that the boost could be highter then the EGP as the EGP come after the explosion/ heat etc... then it seems EGP should be highter at first look? Again, why I wondered.
Thank you for the knowledge tho.
Olivier
Does anyone know what the stock pump fueling level is on the om606.962? In other words, how much fuel per injector per 1000 injection events, maximum? Thanks.
Thank you Petar. Just trying to size up some compounds but the pump specifications do not seem seem to be widely avaipable.
