400hp w210, om606 Turbo or 320cdi?
400hp w210, om606 Turbo or 320cdi?
Okay guys all things being equal I have done my research and want to know what you think best for 400hp with a stock head/block in a w210. I could go either the pre 2000 300 24v turbo 606 or the post 2000 320cdi motor.
Research has told me:
cdi is stronger internally, but lower revving
606 is strong enough for 400hp and higher revving may save the auto box from dying due to less torque needs to be generated (hold torque back at lower rpm to save box can still hit 400hp at higher rpm).
606 will need turbo and pump elements and remap
320cdi will need turbo injector nozzles and remap
both will need some exhaust/intercooler/manifold work
If your goal is to beat an E55amg w210 in performance (so 350hp with more torque would do it, but 400hp would be great) and make a nice drivable car keeping the auto box, all other things being equal which would you choose as your starting base?
Thoughts, if you have any!
Greg
Okay vote 1 for the CDi. I just looked up the torque handling of the 722.6 it has and if the info in that thread is correct, presuming max hp is at 4000rpm (not unreasonable I think?) if I push the box to it's max 578lb/ft limit I'm talking 430hp. So maybe with some good oil in the box and a line pressure mod or chip it if that's possible to firm up the shifts and stop slipping the TC, 400hp could be reliable?
No one else got any thoughts? I have done a massive amount of reading and come to the education that a) a 3.0 wiht a turbo/ip will do way over 400hp, b) a 3.0 will not do 400hp wiht any turbo, massive work and compounds or super/turbo compound will be needed.
Seems there is a variety of info on this site, with little flow numbers and little to no information on the 606 even less on the cdi.
cdi's go for £2,000 here in the UK - has no one worked on one?

If the cost is no problem, you don't like high revs that much and you're okay with something between 300-400hp, take the CDI. If you want to be able to rev the engine higher, want to be sure to achieve at least 400hp and have plenty more potential (100hp more), take the 606.
The biggest issues with CDI are the injectors and finding a proper turbo. CDI can't rev like 606, so you'll need a turbo that spools low down, but required air volume and pressure ratios rule out the "normal" VNT turbos these cars have.

How much power do you want ?
650nm/260-270hp you can get with bigger cooler and 3bar map.
With decent remap, but I have no idea, where you can get that.

(01-12-2011, 05:31 PM)Riverstick I was planning on hitting aound 300BHP(ish). I still want a useable,driveable and economical car.
Ideas I planned were as follows;
(1) Switch off that power and fuel sapping EGR system.....both electronically and physically
(2) Take the guts out of my cat(S...three I think?) to help the exhaust flow free
(3) Improve/change/re nozzle the injectors.....has anyone here had any experience of extruded honing? as advertised by these guys?
(4) Remap the transmission shit pattern to change up earlier and lock up the converter earlier to take advantage of the inline six's good pulling torque output
(4) Fit a bigger intercooler(if readily available)
I am open to all advice and suggestion....words of wisdom and experience greatly appreciated
Who will remap your trans shift pattern for you?
Extrude honed nozzles are generally not as good as off the shelf larger ones as it's hard to match them all, I use nozzles from Bosio and the like for performance (or Bosch, but larger) but I haven't experience of this on the cdi. The principle is the same though. I would also like to half the injection pressure, there is a lot of drag from running such a high pressure on the pump and atomisation is better, but not that much better, than 300bar IP engines. Something half way in between the two would still run just as well but have less sacrificial load on the engine - my di runs super clean on 300bar old school injectors, you'd still be running around double that pressure or more!

Not sure yet Greg as its difficult to get someone to do that over here....auto boxes are not that overpopular and most workshops are only interested in rebuilding/resetting them to OEM specs. I have a friend who does engine remapping so I'll enquire from him. I noticed some of the finnish guys on here write their own maps. The US is the home of the automatic and they seem to have the way of upgrading and improving OEM 'boxes and torque converters with great results. I'm sure someone here can put us right on that front.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I was led to believe that the higher the injection pressure,the better the combustion/atomization/efficiency/power/particulate yields....particularly as you climb the hoorsepower table? I know driving the high pressure pump requires a significant ammount of energy but we were told the benefits far outweighed that.
What DI have you?

I have everything from OHV Lucas single stage IDI through Bosch EDC to the PD unit injecto and CR3 common rail engines I work on (I don't run a PD/CR mainly just because I have too many cars and the CR VAG are brand new, they never used 1st/2nd gen using the unit injector instead).
You are correct that atomisation gets better with pressure rise. But it's a reverse exponential curve, from early pressures like 100 bar IDI nozzles the jump to 300 bar enabled DI engines to ignite and atomise. PD then jumped to around 2,000 bar (around 7 times the pressure) and emissions cleaned up if I recall from euro 3 to euro 4 but couldn't pass euro 5 so they moved again to CRv3. Also, you'd think it would be better atomisation, more efficient but it lost 5mpg on average and had to have a cambelt twice the size and special oil there was so much drag on the engine creating these huge pressures.
There is (for performance anyhow, not necessarily emissions) a sweet spot whre more pressure will just create more drag and there is an argument for putting in the fuel quick, but in large particles so they burn for a while. Fuel in small particles explodes quickly, bad for stress on the engine. Also very high pressure requires very tiny nozzles, so it's often a long duration of injection which means optimum timing cannot be adhered to.
So, I'm for the control system but may want to have far larger nozzles running a lower pressure - something around 500bar will still be cleaner than 1st gen di's but be more efficient and a lot easier to pump more fuel I think, if you don't have to pass it through such a narrow hole that it requires 2,000bar to get it to pass!

Orig turbo may just be enough to 300 with AMG injectors.
But, if you want bigger injectors work, as orig., it is a bit bigger job.
I have done many, and repaired others works even more.
Orig high pressure pump may not last (proceed not enough fuel).
+ fuel line airproblems in that 1350bar system.
(All the pumps are in front of car, vacuum sucks up diesel out of tank.)
Transmission program is good, very good.
It automatically takes into account the increased torq, if the rpogram is done right.
No need to do anything for that, surely.

These cdi´s needs less air.
I have done many 3,0cdi AMG´s to ++300hp.
AMG turbo has same compressor wheel, that "common" 320cdi, gt2359.
Turbine is 1mm larger in AMG, so it flows a bit better.
In my own 320cdi project I have AMG turbo with little bigger compressor, it is from garrett gt3267.
The biggest differences from AMG and common cdi, is injectors and cooler, which both are very good in AMG.
.
As you very well know, I have no experiences about +400hp cdi´s.
...Yet
But something I know about VNT-chargers and programming.
I am open to all suggestions.
Personally i don´t like at all those very big chargers, which don´t ever work properly, but seems great in the engine room.
Maybe I use two smaller turbos, from Audi V6, 2,7L, or Transportter 174hp, I am not sure yet.
Both are good.
I think that turbo is not the biggest problem here.
Maybe the fuel lines gives more challenge.
I have already a good turbo, bigger high pressure pump and AMG power+ injectors.
Good start to learn more.

(01-15-2011, 06:38 PM)Riverstick Hi Tuikku...
Thank you Tuikku,
I see you are an acknowledged CDI tuning pioneer in the Nordic Countires....Do you have any thread pictures of your cars? Who does your programming for you?
Very interesting guys, thankyou - thankyou to Tuikku for your experiences too.
So I think what we are saying, if we take is that the 320cdi will stand up to 400hp fine and the auto box will too. But, it will need more air than the stock turbo can give and more fuel.
ForcedInduction looked at the S200 series and I think they are too big, most of that stuff will support up to 500hp and not being VNT if I wanted to keep sub-2000rpm spool up and bearing in mind the CDi doesn't need as much air as the idi I think something not quite as large for this street perfect 350-400hp.
Turning to the fueling issue, what's this air in the lines problem? As mentioned, just use a facet lift pump by the tank to push 4/5psi and make sure the fuel is under slight presusre to the pump. Even a 400bhp vehicle on full throttle doesn't use much fuel, the rate a lift pump can pour out fuel far exceeds the rate the engine can burn it. If there is still a problem, close loop the under bonnet fuel lines and put in a heat exchangeer, that way the fuel circulates round and is just 'topped up' in the circuit by fresh fuel from the tank pump. This system is well used on vegoil conversion.
Turning to the HP pump, what volume of fuel will it pump from an open outlet (no pressure) given a good supply (lift pump capable of oversupplying it at around 5psi)? If it simply can't pump the volume, then a bigger or twin HP pumps will be needed. But if it's a case that the pump is struggling more due to not being able to shift the required fuel throgh tiny nozzles at huge pressure, what about lowering the pump pressure by 500 or 1,000 bar and greatly increasing injector nozzle size. This will then be closer to injection pump DI pressures (though still higher) and as we know those 'large' hole injectos have no trouble flowing. The pump wouldn't have to raise as much pressure, would drag on the engine less and it would be easier to get the fuel into the engine. Personally I think this would be more interesting than the current common practice of pushing up rail pressure further and putting even more strain on the pump trying to force more fuel through tiny nozzles.
Regarding turbo, it would be great to know what flow rate and what psi boost you are running to make 300hp on the 3.0 tuikku. With better flow (1 more cylinder, 0.2 litre more displacement) from the 3.2 it shoudl require slightly less boost pressure to flow the same. From that, a flow and boost rate could be worked out for 400hp on the 6-cylinder.
Then there will be the matter of seeing if one VNT can be found that can raise that PR while still being efficient and can still spool up like the stock turbo. I'm going to guess not, not without creating a lot of EMP/poor efficiency/hot charge at the upper rpm on boost. I think it may be more sensible to run compounds, with the stock small turbo fed by a big vnt sized purely to deliver the total max airflow. During low speed operation, if you adjust the stop screw you can get these vnt's to practically shut off exhaust flow completely, so you could have the small turbo spun up by all the exhaust. As the EMP starts to rise, the large turbo vnt starts to open to control the EMP (the small turbo staying on a 'max boost' setting) which spools up the large turbo and you then get double compression of the intake air and a pressure ratio of at least 5 is possible with efficiency - easily able to push 4/500bhp worth of air into the engine. As serious exhaust flow starts due to the boost/power the engine is now pushing, the big vnt vanes open more and more and prevent the EMP getting too high, if needed the small VNT can also start to open up it's vanes to prevent excess EMP too - the combination of those would do awa with any need for a wastegate/EMP dump valve and also avoid extra plumbing.
Anyhow, there's some ideas.....
Greg.
.
I´ll do programming myself.
Orig 320cdi gives ~200hp/4200rpm at 60millis fuel rate.
If we want double power, we need at least double fuel rate - and with very good efficency.
If efficecy drops, need more fuel, but that gives only smoke and heat.
Orig high pressure pump gives ~100millis fuel rate, if it is in a very good shape, as new.
So, something must do.
Thats why the turbo is not the main problem now.
I allready have all the parts to practice, if I am able to built a little better fuel lines.
Picture was taken just before I am going to extract the front to pieces to make room for bigger high pressure pump and proper radiator for transmission oil.
Looking good there Tuikku.....Where did the larger intercooler come from? What do you think of Greg's idea on lowering the rail pressure? Has anyone experience on how these engines will run if they are reprogrammed to do this?
Just to clear up.....if I just fit AMG injectors alone,do I need a remap or will the engine automatically run okay and produce extra horsepower & torque?
I have posted a thread under transmissions about reprogramming the auto 'box & torque converter lock up. What are you planning on doing with the gearbox and torque converter your project E320 CDI? http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/722-...-2146.html
I take it that's not the standard intercooler? Looks big. Regarding fuel issues (talk tha first, talk turbos later), have you put a lift pump on to it feeding it with say 300mls at 5/6psi so able to oversupply it, and measured the flow out of the HP pump into an open container (no pressure, just the max flow)?
I'm curious, if the HP pump is supplied well and doesn't have to raise such a massive pressure which causes leak back past pistons etc, how much fuel it can move at sensible pressures say 500bar?
Failing that, sticking with stock pressures how about an Arson kit on the CP3 pump which should support 600hp or a Dragonslayer to 800hp - surely one of these modded pumps should fuel 400hp okay? From the usa, where CP3's are on 5.9 litre Cummins.

Facet have loads, on closed loop systems I use 40106 but there are performance versions and you can pick anything from 3psi and a trickle to 30psi and flowing literally gallons a minute (imagine trying to burn that much fuel!!!!).
They are also all fully sealed, solid state and only kick in when pressure drops and they need to - not rotary pumps so they don't need to run all the time. Two wires to connect, stick it anywhee near the tank within about a foot above max of the fuel level and bingo, supply issues solved with fuel coming out the engine bay like a fuel pipe.
The pump modding I was on about would be on a stock pump, send it off to be modded (not sure if they upgrade the pistons, will reseach it further) and it comes back and still bolts on.
Yes - to lower rail pressure as it's controlled by the electronic actuator on the pump a remap would be needed. I'd imagine weaker springs in the injectors and bigger nozzles would be required to get you back to the same or better flow, but at a lower pressure with less drag and strain on the pump and less fuel leakback.

Injectors are expesive - remap is cheap.
You buy expensive parts, which don´t work properly without remap.
But, just only remap gives more power and better work.
AMG injectors fits and works without remap - and smokes.
Cooler is from China.
About the rail-pressure - the higher, the better. In every ways.
I have some difficulties in my project now.
The front of the engine and car are too small and the pump is too big.
Part numbers are right, but vacuum-pump don´t seem to fit and there are also troubles with belt.
Edit:
When I tighten the belt, I noticed that I can turn the pump into a better position, I am stupid.
Now, even the orig AMG line line from pump to railpipe fits.
I would try contacting charles migliore (aka kerma tdi) about nozzles. He has a corner on high end nozzles with VAG tdi's in the states. He also has a lot of turbo options. Might be worth chatting him up about your application.

I have used nozzles off Kerma before, good people. Only problem is that I have bought here nozzles for £17 each which were about $90 each from Kerma, there is quite a markup on the cost from Bosio (the Italian Mfr's, Kerma is the main USA importer).
OE bosch for earlier DI run about £12 a nozzle, of course CR injectors are only just becoming affordable and there is little documented about them - but the nozzle part is similar.

Greg, sorry to say, but to me, it seems, that you don´t understand a bit of cdi´s working principals.
Changing the part is one thing, the other is to make them really work properly, the third is, that how do you tell your new parts to program, so that it could possibly work right.
Just build one.
I have, ... and I have made a program to many more ... and repaired even more others programs.
The engine don´t work "accidenly" rigth, if you change a lot of parts.
Some progress in my 320cdi.
Allthough it don´t seems like it.
I just want to see, that everything fits, form both sides.
Still having belt - problem, not enough room to make me happy.
I do really hope, that I find a good sollution for that.
What bar is that pump Tuikku?

Greg, sorry to say, but to me, it seems, that you don´t understand a bit of cdi´s working principals.
Hmm, okay I'm curious why you think that. I have studied automotive engineering at university, qualified as a mechanic 18 years ago (the youngest in the country at the time I belive) and run a diesel specialist business, so I have a very vague idea at least....
I'm not sure what you are disagreeing on, I fully agree any changes to hardware you may are likely to require being accounted for in a new ECU map. So we agree yes?
As for rail pressure the higher the better, I can't agree. Or just run 20,000bar you soon find out why over a certain point higher isn't better... Even AMG agree, to get more performance they use larger holes rather than just higher rail pressure - but you know this because you use them. Same for VW, the high flow 150bhp injectos have bigger holes than the 105bhp, rather than running the 105bhp injectors at higher pressure or longer duration (it is possible to hit 150hp with stock 105bhp injectors/engine and just a remap, but it's not the efficient way of doing it and the factoy saw that and installed larger nozzles).
What I can agree is that higher rail pressure for a given duration (pulsewidth) and a given nozzle size (mg/s delivery rate) will get more fuel in there. So on a particular set of nozzles and tune, you can get a bit more fuel if you need it by raising rail pressure without having to resort to running overly long injection durations which are not good for power or economy as it's inefficient injecting fuel after a certain point ATDC. Miss the ideal window of injection and hp/mg injected drops off.
Looks like you already found a bigger pump then as I was talking about - great news. Let us know if it works out and if it can pump the volume you need okay! Your pioneering efforts and experiences with this engine are fantastic, theory is one thing but as you say you have built these CDi's and know what fits.
Cheers, Greg.

Yes
Tuikku,
I was looking at the pump on a 2008 Sprinter 515 CDI today with the compound turbocharger setup. It looks very similar to your AMG pump.
Incidentally....his compound turbos keep blowing the intercooler apart regularly....and that is at factory settings at 150BHP
.
Previous settings, little testing first.
If everything goes ok tomorrow, I´ll rise the railpressure to 1500bar.
And test more.
As quickly as I find a suitable 1600bar sensor to raildruck, I´ll rise the pressure to 1600bar.
It gives immediately more "free" power, better burning and lower EMP.
No sense to use lower pressures after this.
The pump is made and capable to 1600bar, thats why I done this job.
And if needed, I´ll use 1800bar, of which I allready have good experiences.
It'll be interesting to see how it drives at 1500bar and then 1600bar.....the lower EMP is really the key to unleashing the power in conjunction with better atomization.....it lets the engine 'breathe' more freely
