At 21:26 you briefly mentioned the custom air filter. I would like to see more of that if you can share. This build is so impressive. Thank you for sharing.
All the linkage comes from my factory G engine OM603.931. Top portion of it (over the intake manifold) is modified to bolt it down. Next the vertical rod (that goes through intake manifold) is factory. Then there is plate (bolts to engine block) with rotation point and this is factory as well, but I had to modify it by moving away from bigger om606 cylinder head. Then the last rod (horizontal) to injection pump is custom make.
Hi, can you talk in detail how to adapt a manual gearbox on the engine please ? I know an adapter kit exist for BMW to OM606, but on the other side of the gearbox, how you do ? If you can do a video about transmission, transfer case, etc, it would be amazing, thanks
Yes, thank you for this comment. At this moment Im more than half way through making video about adapting BMW gs6-37dz gearbox, so I should upload it soon.
I can only speak for pump from my om603 that I sent for rebuild and turbo kit that I ordered and for these 2 parts Im satisfied with dpuk. I rebuilt all engine here locally in Poland (rebuilt pump and turbo from dpuk and some parts from my factory om603 engine were merged into om606). After all Im very satisfied with the engine! There is whole another story about gearbox. Gearbox itself is very allright, but adapter plate, clutch, signle fly are not the most accurate solution for overlanding/off roading vehicle, thats subject for some sort or update video after this rebuild and some kilometers covered.
Checked by my VIN again and no mistake, the tube guide is A 602 018 00 16 and its available in German warehouse for time of writting this comment. It is also insane expensie (~180 eur) for being just pretty simple tube. If you contact me through youtube contact form so I have your email I can send you printscreens from mercedes web-parts so you can see.
What is the fuel efficiency, I am interested in a similar swap, but have no first hand data about the mileage? Is there a blog post about the costs? Very nice video?
I made it entirely from 3 inch 304 stainless steel pipes. There are two 3 inch magnaflow oval straight through mufflers in series (first 18 inch (450mm) second 14 inch (350mm)). It got pretty quiet. Engine noise is at first plan.
I dont have insta, its not my cup of tee ;) but maybe I should make video of this build from hundrets of photos that I have. Good luck with your build.
I have deep oil sump (from my previous OM603.931). After I drain oil now I refill it full with ~7,5 liters of oil, but I have no memory of how much was to fill it full after engine rebuild when it was dry.
i have the same sump on mine ,but after adding 9L its showing 3/4 full ,im thinking this might be the cause of the oil in the turbo .@@MercedesOffRoadClub
