'98 E300 TurboDiesel
Hello Hello,
This is my new(er) pride and joy.
Black 1998 E300 TurboDiesel, ~213,000 miles on the clock.
- Black MBTex interior
- K&N Air Filter
- Catalytic or Trap-Oxidizor, or whatever they want to call it, removed
- Rocket Chip Stage 1 Tuning (+30 HP, +60 ftlbs approximately, if I remember correctly)
- Two tank WVO system (15gallon baffled aluminum tank, hot fox, heated filter, hose-on-hose, six-port valve, VegTherm)
Plans on the books:
- Stage 2 tuning
- H20/Methanol Injection
- Vogtland shocks/springs
looks good man! Do you have any under hood pics?
Cool, we have the same car...
It's good to see more W210/OM606.962 cars around here...
Did you do the cat removal yourself or did you get it like that? I want to remove mine in the near future.
Beers,
Matt
Did that myself. Dropped the whole exhaust system down, cut out the cat, and replaced it with a section of flex pipe. My dad has a '99, but he went a different route and just beat the insides of the canister to death and then put it back in place. The whine of the turbo is more prominent in my car than his, but I don't know if that is because of the thinner flex pipe material or the due to the tuning.
Also, I've lost the cord to connect my camera, so I won't be posting any engine pics until it turns up.

I forgot to ask about this before...
Do you have any "droning" issues going down the highway? Seems like every straightpiped I6 diesel I've ever driven or otherwise experienced had a nasty drone to the exhaust note that made it difficult to sit in the cab for very long. I commute about 500mi per week - so the car has to be somewhat civil.
There's a few YouTube videos out there of a straightpiped W210/OM606.962 - I think they sound VERY nice that way.

OK - thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the thing would be obnoxious to drive after being straight piped.
How did you go about disabling the EGR? I want to say someone else here on the forums did it as well - but I haven't seen which pins to use, component values and so forth.
SVO was causing pressurization of the crankcase on your Dad's OM606? Yikes. I'm curious why this happened...also curious to know why you feel water/methanol injection will help it out.
Again - great info - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Matt
