i want to build the om606 for 400hp or near it. ive been out of the diesel scene for quite some time, didnt know if there has been new discovers on more US parts readliy avalabile? and how can i go about getting 300-400hp from these motors? what kind of engine work?
just got done building a turbo gas engine(3liter 16psi,hx35,398rwhp,445ftlbs), but it doesnt suffice when you miss that diesel knock and whistle all the time.

I love that it's this simple! It's like owning a 2JZ...so you want 600whp? well all you need is this this and this and its done..
I remember when everyone at MB was saying how the 606 is junk and will never hold up compared tot the 603..

(06-22-2013, 10:29 PM)Gearbound Hmm 2jz is actually what I just built. Simple project really. So just slap a hx35 on and intercooler then where do I send the pump? Stock injectors? How about a manual transmission? I want to put this in my 86 300td
yea, standard injectors are fine, i use Dieselmeken on here for pumps.
you will need to do something about clutch.

I don't plan on making it complicated right from the start. Just interested in what it takes and where can parts be found. I'm not sure of the engines capabilities in stock form. I'm looking for more build threads on them to see what others do and how it turns out.

(01-10-2014, 07:23 AM)Gearbound Measured at crank or chassis Dyno? Either way its still very impressive.
it must be on the flywheel...600 whp, then you need alot more fuel and hx52/hx55

(01-08-2014, 08:57 PM)Gearbound were can upgraded cams,springs,retainers,big end bearing be bought at or is it strong enough to turn 7k stock?
a local guy with om606NA and dieselmekens 8mm pushed the engine (by accident) to what he estimated to be 8000rpm
not funny to see this when taking the engine apart

This is stock engine were talking about. Higher outputs will require other camshafts. Some rods and pistons would be a good investment also.
Stock valve springs can cope with 6k rpm. To rev 7k rpm you'll need tougher springs. We are currently building a om605 for 700hp, that's a 242cc Dieselmeken pump with a 7250rpm rev limiter. We also build a more moderate om604 with a 8mm Dieselmeken 180cc pump that we hope can deliver close to 400hp.

I can help you out with all your manual transmission, clutch, flywheel, intake and exhaust manifold issues.
The general rule of thumb is a little more than 100hp/cylinder for the turbocharged om605/om606. Say 550hp for a om605 and close to 700hp in a om606. So 600whp will be doable in a om606.

(01-12-2014, 11:26 PM)MFSuper90 Ouch, did he have any valve spring upgrades?
Or just stock?
stock...
apperantly he missed a gear,
gave it WOT and apperantly the IP didnt stop untill way to late...
Dont know if its a pump fault or actualy how it do work, but it makes one kinda worried, better make shure the gear will stick before giving the engine WOT or WOT in first gear.
will try to stick to the 5500rpm and rarely 6k.
but makes you wonder weather or not the revlimiter works properly on these modded pump (if he estimated that 8k correctly) but way over his "regular" 6k atleast.

you just need a magnetic pick up and the wire for the stop solenoid and its possible to make it stop if you have low oil pressure also.
well its also possible to put a electronic over speed unit on the engine and set it so it shut down at 6100 rpm I use them all the time on gensets for offshore they are not so expensive compared with the repair costs.

stop solenoid i already got, the question is if that will be sufficient to stop the reving in time...
the oilpart is probably sweet thou
(aswell as overheating protection
)

if it isn't fast enough that the engine stops the same way as if you turn the key you can also build in an air shut down valve but they are expensive to buy, so you have to fabricate your self to keep the price down
try and look here www.ecu-engine-controls.com they have all you can think off

So there might be some rods and pistons available soon =)

We are currently looking in to this for a record breaking +1000hp om606. If it's possible I don't know. But one thing is for sure. If you don't try you'll never know.

I believe 1000hp is a goal that can be reached. It might take some custom parts and a good bit of money, but I think it can be done

I believe I read on a translated Finnish site that some of the hardcore 606 tuners are using aftermarket valve train components for the 2JZ-GTE... so if that's true, you already have a good knowledge base. Sorry, I can't find it at the moment.
