Craigyt’s Nuts Merc

[leeds_182]

Had the first opportunity to go out in this bad boy last night. Craigyt’s OM606 turbo merc. It’s an absolute beast of a motor! Sounds and goes like a v8 and feels proper muscle. Going in for some tweaking of the timing and fuel today but should be comfortably running in excess of 350bhp when finished.

I want one. So much potential.

What a sleeper! Bet its awesome fun

 

[McGherkin]

Awesome motor!

 

[craigyt]

Cheers jim!

I picked the car up from gatemouth in scotland with the dolly as it had an oil cooler/warmer problem. The car started as an n/a. The plan was to turbo the n/a to around 300whp.
Got it built and it lasted 15mins if that! 2 bent conrods.

Time for a new engine! Full turbo motor that have been proven to run well over 600bhp without being opened up. These are considered the 2jz of the diesel world!

F*CK yeah!! OM606 engines tuned by DPUK are awesome :up: and in a S124 is just cool as penguins piss.

 

[Scrooge]

Love that!

 

[leeds2592]

That's crazy. If I drove past that, I'd think it had about 10bhp and take 5 minutes to get to 60mph!

 

[General Dave]

Between you and @leeds_182 this is turning in to OldGermanBusSport.net 😂

 

[cat171]

One of the best gens of E class imo.
And with what you're doing it's cool as f**k!!!

 

[Waitey]

There's a guy round here with one of those in a jet boat. Its awesome. Black smoke erry where!

 

[Donny_Dog]

I remember being in the pub about 5 years ago discussing and watching youtubes of OM606's with Craig.
He's finally done it - what a man (and machine).

 

[adamlstr]

On tyres that look like they're made from nylon it must be a bit of handful!?

Love it.

 

[bashracing]

Are you going to run that without an intercooler Craig?

 

[craigyt]

Yeah run it as is, no intercooler at the moment, no real need for one on this turbo at that power. The turbo isnt working very hard at 2bar of boost so itl be fine. When the manual box goes on i will put a cooler on just to look cool!

 

[cat171]

Keep it looking as stock as possible.

 

[craigyt]

Slight drop in ride height and some 16" wheels the same style as whats on!

 

[leeds_182]

I just drove this.

Now I need to change my pants.

 

[craigyt]

Its quite noisy int it!!!

 

[Ian_182]

That's a proper sleeper.
Make sure you get some video of it.

Only in the diesel world :smile:

 

[leeds_182]

That's a proper sleeper.

[Ian_182]

You need a slightly longer version of that with the car going into the distance using the panzerlied video music from battle of the bulge, that would be funny.

Most importantly:
Can it smokescreen like a Bond car?

Oh yeah, no smoke no poke babby.

 

[Goodj]

Oh yeah, no smoke no poke babby.

Good lads :up:

Craig’s selling this for £3k no offers if anyone fancies a sniff.
