I found this on Burnveggies, a WVO/biodiesel list I belong to. I've seen better video but the results are interesting. It's a large file, will take awhile to d/l for the dial-up folks. No info yet on what the green car had under the hood; I'll monitor the list and post any updates that appear.

It's been around quite awhile and in more than one video.

The green car of the video is one the famous super diesel from Finland.
it is a OM606 under the hood with modified Bosch IP (by Myna), intercooler and a big beefy turbo (don't remember brand). The 606 is pumped up to 400hp from the 175hp stock!

Another video with the same car:

Go to about 1:20 into it, and you'll see it take off. There's also another one at about 3:35. I've never heard an MB diesel rev so high

There's also what I think is the Dieselboost 190E with the 606 in it at about 6:46, and another one shortly thereafter. Watch it beat the pants off a Corvette

That's a 603 with 482 crank hp.

Only 2-valves per cylinder on that one. Has to really scream. Max horsepower peaks at 5.8K rpm.

I've seen pictures on http://www.mersuforum.net of the dyno sheets and the engine.


If you understand Finnish, you can read about it in this thread (where pictures used to be displayed). http://mersuforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19899&start=0

Season is over here in finland, but my bet is that blue benz go low 11 in next year, maybe high 10

nice ....

Sorry, it was new to me. I did a search for "drag race" in this forum and didn't come up with anything recent so I thought it was new.
