300CE Turbodiesel
300CE Turbodiesel
i'm rebuilding 300ce -88.
Almost all of the bodywork is done, some little rust fixing still to do and paint job.
Bilstein Sprint B8 shocks and H&R -30mm springs
Motor is going to be original om606 turbo with little changes.
exhaust manifold
Holset HX55 turbo and 60mm wastegate
4'' Downpipe and rest of the pipe is going to be 3,5'' with one vibrant resonator
intake manifold and 8mm herlevi pump.
All aluminium Griffin radiator and cooler
Cool project!! But why go with a such a big turbo, takes ages to get it to spool....?? Or are you building a 700hp engine?

Will it pass inspection with diesel engine in Finland?
Please keep us updated with more photos

there you can find almost all the project pics
I couldn't hardly see from the pics, but how does your wastegate bleed off all cylinders with your custom header?

it drains all the cylinder, mabye not in he best way, but its a twin scroll flange, and waste gated from each side, so it should not be a problem ;p
a work of art
nice!
new intake manifold worked good, so good that we found the limits of original rods
all rods are bend more or less, and 3rd let go for good, in 4th gear, full gas about 180-200km/h, quite a big bang , still drove it to the garage with 5 cylinders.
Well, new engine is in the garage, lets make it stronger for next summer
still thinking what to do, maybe smaller turbo and make it more ''daily driver'' but that would be little boring??
second option is , stronger rods, good main bearing ''girdle'' in bottom end, maybe update cylinder head more, and enjoy some serious power but this option in going to be €€€€€€ so we will see..
Only about 2,5bar. I believe the rods bended at earlier tests when boost pressure got up to about 3,5bar (and 7000rpm) After 300km of test with those settings cold starts started to sound bad. When the engine warmed up to normal it did run good and no problems. Then few hundred km more this happened
I dont think boost alone will make that happen. But HX55's airflow in 3,5bars + 7000rpm + alot of fuel all together can make little too much stress for original rods. Or maybe the earlier head gasket failure had something to do with this but i dont think so, gasket leaked only ''outside'' , when boost pressure raised up, gasket leaked it to cooling system and overpressured it so that radiator cap opened and coolant got out. Atleast i didnt find any signs of coolant in the cylinders when i pulled the head off...
It's usually revs that overstresses reciprocating parts.
Looks like the conrod let go of the gudgeon pin while trying to decelerate the piston towards TDC..
