Sodomizing my om605 / w124
Sodomizing my om605 / w124
I started last summer, bought an old taxi (93' E250D) for a few quidz from a friend.. 600000km on the meter, and pretty shabby looks, but good technically
Lost my drivers license for a few months, and ofcource i drive a truck for a living.. Needless to say, i had time......lots of it, so i made my own exhaust manifold
Runners aint 100% equal length, but pretty close to, anyway better than an stock 605 manifold
KKK k27-2 hangin there... made 3bars+ in my friends 7mm powered 603, so it should do a decent job here when my IP gets sodomized with 7,5mm elements and 7krpm limit
8x38x55cm i think it was... 3" piping.. Couldnt have been a single mm bigger
Downpipe
Test.. It looks shabby... its a budget build! But it did work
After making a test mount, i cracked my home made oil T line for turbo...
Ofcourse it broke after the oil pressure sensor, so i couldnt notice it before the disaster had struck... needless to say, I'm in the middle of an engine change in these days
The colors...hmmm...crankshaft WRONG xD
The new engine should have been up and running by now, buuuuuuut my daughter and her mother seems to attract some of my attention, needless to say, every day isnt as effective as planned
Started it yesterday, so mounted almost everything, and will put in car tomorrow
Plans:
New oil lines for turbo
Injection Pump rebuildt by dieselmeken
Grind the engine flange of the exhaust manifold
Make room for Wastegate
Stiffer suspension
Bushings
Better and more suspension bars
Make new intake manifold
Compound turbo setup
Sodomizing is not the word you are looking for it refers to anal sex
customizing means to fabricate
But good work on the car looks great
Nice build! The blue color is from the factory hardening process
Hehehe "sorry for my bad english"

That's quite the exhaust manifold looks cool like a spider!
When I saw the subject of your thread, my first thought was: what are you northern part Norwegians doing to your mercedeses But then I agreed with willbhere4u, you probably used the the wrong word
Nice car btw. It will be interesting to see if the engine will be as strong as Mantahead`s 605, or maybe even stronger with that cool manifold?
PS: I broke a N/A 617 once when the home made oil line to the turbo broke. After that I started to make them from a steel tube with flanges. No more problems

You're right Erling66 , nordnorske glosa oversatt her
The lack of experience in the field, made me believe i had none other option, and since the runners are 48,3mm, it gets a bit narrow
If i'd know better, i'd make it in 43mm
This way i figured I could place a smaller turbo on the manifold, and place a bigger one below&behind too
All these ideas....hmmm
