OM606 into a w210 E250?
OM606 into a w210 E250?
I live in the UK.
I have a trusty old w124 606 NA auto. I really rate the car, but it is sluggish, this I have a healthy obsession with the idea of another 606, but this time with a turbo, elements IC etc.
I work LONG hours thus any potential project must be as easy as possible thus I'm thinking... what about dropping a 606 turbo into a manual w210 E250? Would the box be upto it? Has it been done before? Also w210 220cdi six speeders are available here in the uk, could a swap be done with one of them?
Any comments would be apriciated.
Cheers!

If you want manual then you would also need a mechanical IP as the ECU needs the EDC IP and the autobox both present to work, then a w210 220cdi six speed manual as a donor is what you need.
As mentioned, the W210 came with a 606 factory so it would be a case of sourcing an OM606 from an E300 W210 with all associated anciliaries and it will drop in from a piping and electrical perspective, but I don't know if the 220cdi flywheel and clutch (OM611?) fits the OM606, I would have thought you need a manual clutch and flywheel from an OM604 engined car..
Installed:
OM606/722.6, big IC, W220 brakes.
Planned:
DIY manifold, compound, 722.6 controller, built IP.

Considering you can buy an OEM W210 with an OM606 (called an E300TD), which is actually more common and cheaper than the E250 W210, I see no point?

or u can tune up your 606!!!! fit a turbo , IP, IC, etc it will hold 300HP minimum.
despite is N/A very few diff in them. the gear box, the only that may hold a wile at 300HP is the 616 found in the 270CDI. clutch wont work at 300HP, must find a sinter disk.
any more detailed questions u can pm me.
