OM606 Billet Inlet Manifold for our 600++++bhp Build 

Hope you're sending the lads building the Datsun one of those 😆 then I have double to watch 👌

Neither a diesel guy or a turbo guy, but I really really enjoy the engineering aspect of everything you guys do. Clever ideas and clever solutions. Keep up the good work!

This kind of product really needs comparison dyno runs against stock piece. Runner length difference is huge, so would be nice to see what the torque curve looks with billet manifold.

Congrats, that's beautiful, and I have to have one. But you did forget a couple of important figures in the video: 1) weight compared to factory intake, 2) dyno gains. Looking forward to more details on this beast.

Would love to see a dyno comparison vs stock manifold (both exhaust and intake manifolds) :D On a side note, would love to see you guys put an OM606 on propane :D

Where I come from that plenum would be described as "the racing dogs bollocks" Its a thing of beauty!!

I'm supprised you haven't whittled out a billet engine cover replacement, with DPUK unplace of the merc logo, and yeah you should get an old around 49-50 Mercury, swap in a merc in a Mercury, it could be the Murcury-Benz! I have a ton of ideas if I only had cad and a CNC whitteler! Carving aluminum by hand isn't easy,. Any plans of casting a manifold?? Inlet and outlet? There is a few small shops here in the us, that cast aluminum and iron, and I know they are quality Craftsmen in the UK that can do the job! A large block of aluminum can't be cheap, then the hours of CNC, casting will be much more affordable! Heck I just bought a 12" bar of aluminum for a motor bike exhaust hanger, it was $10, they could be cast from old Pistons or something, for low expansion! Haha,

Man that is a piece of art.....I would love to stuff this motor in an old 300d....gm transmission too....I love it

Everything you do is a work of art. Absolute perfection....!

Are you planning on making a bolt on sandwich air to water intercooler core? Seems like that would make a slick adaptable platform

Now that's some cool engineering. I think it would look absolutely wild anodized purple!

My god this man is an artiat this engine makes me want to start a car build around this engine and get everything he sells its insanely awsome!

That old truck is gonna be a ripper out there on the English countryside. .....damn I'm jealous

Wow guys every video stills blows me away with the quality of your work definitely the best in the game guys 😎👌👍

Seems like a good start for an adapter plate to fit up a roots supercharger

Time for show us all the new set up in the dyno!

That inlet is a thing of beauty. I am just now getting into these MB turbo diesels and am falling in love. Maybe I'll have to build one in the future. Yours looks gorgeous :)

Make a smaller one for thos of us who do t want to go racing but also don't want to pull the intake for everything! Like glow plugs. Looks really nice!

Покрась коллектор в цвет топливного насоса. Успешного тюнинга и максимального наддува)) привет из Москвы.

eversince i saw the team boosted build I have been dreaming about putting an om606 is somthing keep up the good work

I like the Gray that's on your Anti Jerk plate the best. going to be ordering both of these products. Absolutely beautiful work. Both in looks and function.

I love these motors that you modify,it's beautifully done up,awesome work,would like to visit you some day forsure

I really love to work with you guys! They are great and make the best diesel tuning engines!

that bilet inlet look insane, for colors i think black anodize with yellow letters realy OEM+

Have you tested the power and torque differences between against the original manifold , different runner lengths ?

@11:01 I feel like applauding at the presentation you've made

Loved the billet exhaust manifold design , love this intake one even more .

That’s art! I need to put one in my U404^^

I really hope you guys send one of these to Team Boosted, gets you American market exposure

It won’t surprise me if toto wolf gives you a call to help with their Mercedes formula 1 car engine because your mind set towards engine development is very impressive. Well done from Scotland.

A beautifully made awesome inlet manifold, can’t wait to sell my car and buy a Mercedes with OM606 engine to put all your parts on. 👍🏽😎

Intake looks pretty sweet. PINK!!! Or just a clear coat on the manifold, looks beautiful as is.

That's a lovely bit of kit mate 😊

Thats one beautiful engine. Great work guy, cant wait to see the dyno numbers for it.

Lukey boy Dale you've done it again!

Just ordered one for the 606 I’m swapping into my wrangler TJ. I wish editing videos interested me cause I’m sure people would wanna see the build but idk lol

Is a version for the om605 is coming too?

I really love your engineering, and I can’t wait to see and hear that engine running!👍🏻👍🏻

You've now done what others haven't, and you've outcompeted the other guys. You know what and who I mean 😉😂

You all are insane I wish you tackled the bmw inline 6 m57 diesel

Mate ive just had an EYE GASAM! Looks brilliant. Also at the side of cat yellow its got to be black or a really dark shiny grey 👍

cool product. it would be nice to see some more om617 content as well

Crazy engineering ! Amazing product, but also very expensive. If you make plastic one every OM606 will have one of those !

Mate, you earned a subscriber in the first 15 seconds. nice work.

Personally I would just hightemp clear coat the bare metal surfaces. They look phenomenal the way they are an the clear will prevent oxidation or contaminant penetration. the pump might look good gun metal or gloss black. T Keep up the great work man.

Any dyno graph proving performance?

From an engineering stand point this is beautiful

Only problem I have with these videos is the om606 is not available in Australia. We keep seeing Cummins and Nissan builds but these are amazing lightweight, efficiency performance motors. Wow.

Please forgive me if I may sound stuckup but I believe that aircraft aluminum is 7000 series, not 6k. 6k is very common. But do love your progress with these engines..

The development into this motor is 👌good work

What are the advantages of short trumpets/no runners with the bigger plenum, vs a smaller plenum with longer runners like the original?

That looks righteous AF.

Do you have access to a flow bench to test the gains? That is impressive man!

9:25 great song, whrom whrom whrom, like a this inline six.......

Very nice piece , a lot of thourght has gone into that for sure. Im surprised the inlets are not a bit bigger as generally they get the walls coked with shoot and what about having say a 300 hp engine and doing a back to back dyno test with original v billet inlet and see what and were the gains are being made. Just been working on a 50 ltr v16 today bloody dirty things lol ;-)

To what rpm is that runner length optimized for ?

Runners look way too short, why not move inlet location to improve pressure recovery and distribution?

Nice work there! 👍🏻

so will the shorter runners hurt the low end torq ? i want to put one in my jeep grand cherokee 1996 . it looks like it is even lighter buy 20 lb than the i6 4.0 L

3D scan the lid and CNC a lid for it!! What kind of trans can handle that HP that you use? Very nice work.

It has to be black to go with the Cat yellow than it matches their big truck engines. Also amazing design and machine work like always.

One disadvantage is the short runner manifold will kill bottom end torque .

Your just a Diesel God from another planet 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Do you like M51D25 ? BMW 2.5 turbo diesel (TDS 143hp) Is that a good base for tune ? (250/300hp)

Beautiful piece! What RPM does the runner length tuning come out to be?

Hope you make something similar for the OM642 ❤️

I thought you said Mercedes knew what they were doing and you've knocked up something that looks great but does it add any improvement. The only way to know is first with a flow bench and then the torque curve as measured by a dyno before and after.

Luke....BLOO-DY LOVELY!!!

Maestro Luke Dale. Very perfect.

Black. Matches the rear sump

Awesome!! I really need this one for my om606😄

lol this is waaay better then oem inlet manfold on OM606 and looks awesome. well done

Pure work of art Wish you made parts for the bmw M57

The quality is outstanding

look how much clearance it adds for the oilfilter housing

It's gonna be so expensive, plus the exchange rate is a killer😵😵🤑

Hello friend, I am the Cuban who bought the pump for the OM605 from you, it worked perfectly, it takes 180km ok, what is your best price for me, I would like to buy the part that your intake factories have, please

dam that's a nice design.

You should anodice the i take manifold and then clear paint it to prevent corrosion.

Everybody is hating on this manifold on facebook.time to fab a intake tube and put this sad tune to rest.

Nice job Luke! Looks amazing, can't wait to add it to the build!!!

That thing looks incredibly heavy. Is the advantages from the shapes and smoothness worth the extra mass? I know it's aluminium, so it's not that much, but if its massive i suspect it can get a bit heavy.

Hermoso trabajo.. Congratulations

Need a billet manifold cover and oil cap now

Milspec type 3 hard coat anodize, only available in black, job done, decision made! It will resist methanol the best.

what abot a khaki green? or mititary green for that intake manifold? you could get those colours mixed into a ceramic coating for the intake manifold possibly?

next level manufacturing

Would having such a short intake runners negatively affect torque? Or because this is a forced induction diesel is that a non issue?

What if your diesel runs away? How are you going to stop it?

Luke. That custom intake is fully sic' ! Is there way of mounting pop-off valve ? V.

can you sandwich an air to water cooler in that manifold?

By shortening the runner length how much has this manifold changed the torque over the rpm range?

If I were to put one of these in a boat, what is the continuous rated power the OM606 can produce without degradation?

I would say that yellow and gold do not look good together. Until I saw a motorcycle in black, yellow and gold. I told the guy that if I didn't see it for myself, I would think it would look crap. It was indeed beautiful. But black anodizing is more my taste.

Very nice work!

Fantastic work as always

Beautiful piece

How high do you guys plan to rev this those are some short runners especially compared to the OEM ones.

Hello fantastic work !!

Top Job as aways... p.s Im gonna start saving up for that Chevy Truck ! :P
