430 hp OM602 videos
 

Hello everyone,

I was in the TDIclub chat room earlier today, and a guy from Finland and I were talking about Benzes. He mentioned that there is a small group of people in Finland who are tuning up their OM602 & OM603 engines to the extreme.

He mentioned that this particular 190D (as I have been corrected) has close to 430 hp on the dyno. :eek:

Happy viewing!

YES YES YES!!!! I am NOT the only one out there. I can do 60 mph in 7.6 seconds right now at least! Time to blow those CDI's out of the water, right now!

Forget it. Time to take on the E55 Kompressor.

Isn't that bad for the engine, though?:rolleyes:

BTW, that looks like a 190D, not a 300TD. Just a 2.5 5-cylinder turbo, unless they somehow shoved the six 3.0 in there.

So erm... just WHAT did they do to these engines??? :eek: :eek: :eek:

I'll have to get more information from the guy who gave me the links. He said for sure that it was a 3.0 turbo. Maybe it was a 300D, and he added the "T" for turbo instead of touring. I dunno.

I'd be happy with 200 hp :cool: ... but 400?? :eek: I love it!

The reason I say a 190 is because of the position of the instrument cluster. It has a rear defroster horizontally placed next to it, and a smaller center console with 190 vents. But I don't know, maybe I need to look into ocular nutrition supplements, lol. Regardless, it does not look like any W124 I've seen.

This is great Vdub. I think you should post this on your site. A lot of the members would gawk at that material.

These videos are to show all you guys thinking that old diesels are "not capable of any more power than you already have". Its possible, it has been done, and there's proof to back it up. Don't know how long the engines will last, but it's possible.;)

LOL. That they would.

Anyway, the instrument cluster & switch position does look like my 190... perhaps it is. I haven't looked inside a w124 recently.

There ya go then. :) ... time to edit the thread title.

What is the deal with them hitting 6k+ RPM between shifts? Is it a bad auto trans or do they suck at shifting? I'd love to know what they did to these engines too.

It looks like they lost traction for a second or two. The boost really pounds in at higher revs it seems.

I'm picturing, in my mind. A 190D 2.2 diesel with that engine setup under the hood. Racing an E55 Kompressor and winning. That's just sick. I rewatched that S55 Kompressor video I have of it accelerating to 113 mph, and I thought;"what a slow car".:eek::eek:

THAT IS AMAZING!!! I can't believe how quickly those kms/hr were rising. Just like a diesel - lots of low rpm torque and evened out in the mid-range.

It sure would be great to learn a little more about how they managed to do that. I am imagining bigger turbo/s, intercooler, intake and exhaust, IP timing etc... Might be a dog to drive around town...

Definitely a 190.

Those shifts sounded and look pretty violent. I don't think an average 722.xx will last long like that. With that kind of hp out of a 603, I would have to find a rare 5sp.

It's a stick shift, and I think it's a combination of rediculous wheel spin, and some clutch slip.

It definitely has a huge turbo on it. Listen to it in clip ...1.mpeg ... also, boost doesn't really hit until 4000 rpms.

A Getrag racing dog-leg 5-speed out of a 190-16V would do just fine..

..I need more information, I want to build a beast like this.
