Very interested in learning more about your clutch set up. I'm placing an OM606 in a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser LJ70. Worried that I will run into the same challenges. Thanks!
If it Vibrates a Lot , something is Wrong . STRAIGHT SIX = Perfect Primary AND Secondary balance . There will be some vibration regardless , obviously , but really , it should be nothing beyond a bit of a buzz . Very Cool build overall though .
It comes with an electronically controlled pump from factory. (Edc) however, everyone has a on603 pump rebuilt amd we use that with larger elements. Look up dpuk on youtube and watch his videos
Hey I’m also doing a 606 swap in a 92 pickup. I got a glimpse of your oil pan, is that custom? I was thinking of buying a rear sump kit. It’s a tight fit, you didn’t have to tub the firewall? And last, why does the factory brake booster not work? Thanks in advance!
Id like to put the om 606 in my fj 40 project with a NV 4500. What transmission and transfer case are you running and where did you buy adapter to mate 606 to transmission?
What transmission are you using and how did you adapt the bell housing? Also, why the Mercedes over a Cummins R2.8 or the VW diesel? Love the truck and bed design. I have an older 02 Tundra that I consider swapping a diesel into.
looks nice. Another bed idea would be to have the sides like a military 5 ton. When you let them down they are on pins like a door hinge. All you have you do is slide them sideways and they would come off.
Thats an awesome build i have you on Instagram and been watching your build, what slave cylinder have you used amd have you got a link to the master cylinder as well, i put the om606 in my ln106 hilux and have always had issue with the clutch.
I used the wilwood master with the wilwood pull type slave. Made my own bracket for the slave. Then I bought a small 7" brake booster and custom fabricated mounts and rods for everything to work.
It's like my Diahatsu Hijet but all grown up. I love the bed and want one for my 1980 toy truck. The OM606 would be a great fit in my FJ60. I love this project!
I have a jdm hilux with 1kzte but wanted to put this on my truck. I just did this swap on my benz. How can we speak? Ill delete comment after we get in touch just need to connect. Im in ct
Hi crazygreek! I had a couple of questions you could help me please, my main questions are regarding the transmission of the mercedes an adapting it to toyota. did you modify the carter? what gear box are you using? are you modifying the transmission of the car? is it manual transmission?
Hi Franz, look up dpuk . (Dieselpumps uk) he makes all kinds of adapters for the OM series engines to fit on a number of different transmission. I went with the r150f Toyota transmission out of a 95 4Runner. So far so good. It's the four-wheel drive five-speed transmission and transfer case. But he makes a doctor plates and kit for all kinds of different Transmissions. USA domestic transmissions and foreign.
@@crazgreek hi crazgreek thanks a lot for the quick answer! is it mandatory to get this adapters to get it to work? I see the price tag is a bit heavy... 1000 pounds at least. Can i make it myself?
You could try learning how to do it and making it yourself but by the time you learn how to do it and buy the supplies and pay a machinist to make the adapter plate and then buy The Heavy Duty clutch you're going to be into it for at least 800 anyways. So you might as well buy one that's already made and engineered to work. Something that's been proven to fit properly
Awesome truck man I literally just picked up an e300 and I’m gonna drive it for a year a or then mechanic pump swap into my Tacoma would definitely love some pointers
