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!
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.
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.
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
I made a similar intake for a Nissan TD42 (hideous sheetmetal box on machined factory manifold - he's right they always look crap). It didn't improve performance on the dyno, but Air:Fuel ratio went from 19.5:1 to 22:1 at 25psi (about 80% load, we couldn't reach full load as it was a fairly small inertial dyno). So we could have put more fuel in to make more power. The stock nissab manifold is garbage though, much worse than this one. the cross section of the log is the same as one port (6 ports).
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 :)
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.
Not worth the effort on a diesel. The compressor efficiency of a roots blower is garbage compared to modern turbos, they make hot, low density air unless you pour methanol through them to cool the charge down again.
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!
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.
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.
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,
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
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 ;-)
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
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.
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?
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..
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.
I imagine low end torque will be affected. However being a turbo diesel that's something you generally have a surplus of. This will surely help with higher RPM power.
Hope you're sending the lads building the Datsun one of those 😆 then I have double to watch 👌
Same
I'd love to see that on their datsun
Whats a bet we will see this on that build soon ;)
@@Xavier_Reynolds97 err idk. 600hp on that rickety Datsun .... unless they ditch the Datsun for something els then yeah .
Hell yeah. I wanna get me a 606 to build

@@HB-gv9sz Weight is always a factor. Small difference, small factor. Big difference, big factor.
@@HB-gv9sz weight distribution, a lighter manifold won't completely alleviate issues like that but it helps.
@@HB-gv9sz Cornering and body roll, under/oversteer, acceleration, braking, fuel economy, ease of working on it, etc.
@@HB-gv9sz If I find out what it weighs I promise not to share that information with you, if that makes you feel better :)

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

@@rubikmonat6589 interesting. Thanks for your input.
Man that is a piece of art.....I would love to stuff this motor in an old 300d....gm transmission too....I love it
eversince i saw the team boosted build I have been dreaming about putting an om606 is somthing keep up the good work
Now that's some cool engineering. I think it would look absolutely wild anodized purple!
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 :)
I love these motors that you modify,it's beautifully done up,awesome work,would like to visit you some day forsure

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!
@11:01 I feel like applauding at the presentation you've made
Thats one beautiful engine. Great work guy, cant wait to see the dyno numbers for it.
Wow guys every video stills blows me away with the quality of your work definitely the best in the game guys 😎👌👍
Mate, you earned a subscriber in the first 15 seconds. nice work.
Lukey boy Dale you've done it again!
Loved the billet exhaust manifold design , love this intake one even more .
That’s art! I need to put one in my U404^^
that makes two of us
That's a lovely bit of kit mate 😊
I really love your engineering, and I can’t wait to see and hear that engine running!👍🏻👍🏻
I really love to work with you guys! They are great and make the best diesel tuning engines!
Покрась коллектор в цвет топливного насоса. Успешного тюнинга и максимального наддува)) привет из Москвы.
Intake looks pretty sweet. PINK!!! Or just a clear coat on the manifold, looks beautiful as is.
The development into this motor is 👌good work
cool product. it would be nice to see some more om617 content as well
Seems like a good start for an adapter plate to fit up a roots supercharger
Not worth the effort on a diesel. The compressor efficiency of a roots blower is garbage compared to modern turbos, they make hot, low density air unless you pour methanol through them to cool the charge down again.
Nice work there! 👍🏻
That old truck is gonna be a ripper out there on the English countryside. .....damn I'm jealous
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!
Are you planning on making a bolt on sandwich air to water intercooler core? Seems like that would make a slick adaptable platform
Yes we already have a core “saltwater safe” to go inside.
@@DieselPumpUK What a legend ... truly
that bilet inlet look insane, for colors i think black anodize with yellow letters realy OEM+
From an engineering stand point this is beautiful
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.
Hermoso trabajo.. Congratulations
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. 👍🏽😎
I really hope you guys send one of these to Team Boosted, gets you American market exposure
Time for show us all the new set up in the dyno!
Where I come from that plenum would be described as "the racing dogs bollocks"
Its a thing of beauty!!
Maestro Luke Dale. Very perfect.
Your just a Diesel God from another planet 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That looks righteous AF.
Have you tested the power and torque differences between against the original manifold , different runner lengths ?
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.
Fantastic work as always
The quality is outstanding
Is a version for the om605 is coming too?
Awesome!! I really need this one for my om606😄
9:25 great song, whrom whrom whrom, like a this inline six.......
Luke....BLOO-DY LOVELY!!!
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 👍
Hello fantastic work !!

Nice job Luke! Looks amazing, can't wait to add it to the build!!!
Crazy engineering ! Amazing product, but also very expensive. If you make plastic one every OM606 will have one of those !
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
Doing good work man.
You've now done what others haven't, and you've outcompeted the other guys. You know what and who I mean 😉😂
Beautiful piece
Very nice work!
Phenomenal work!!
You all are insane I wish you tackled the bmw inline 6 m57 diesel
Very nice piece , a lot of thourght has gone into that for sure.

Hi Looking Nice Good Job Guys
Any dyno graph proving performance?
To what rpm is that runner length optimized for ?
All of them. Quite short
Do you like M51D25 ? BMW 2.5 turbo diesel (TDS 143hp)
Is that a good base for tune ? (250/300hp)
3D scan the lid and CNC a lid for it!! What kind of trans can handle that HP that you use? Very nice work.
next level manufacturing
Black. Matches the rear sump
Do you have access to a flow bench to test the gains? That is impressive man!
dam that's a nice design.
Beautiful piece! What RPM does the runner length tuning come out to be?
look how much clearance it adds for the oilfilter housing
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.
What are the advantages of short trumpets/no runners with the bigger plenum, vs a smaller plenum with longer runners like the original?
Higher RPM power I would guess. Likely would hurt the lower end torque but should be capable of making more top end.
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.
Hope you make something similar for the OM642 ❤️
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?
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..
Looks amazing 😍😍😍
Top Job as aways... p.s Im gonna start saving up for that Chevy Truck ! :P
lol this is waaay better then oem inlet manfold on OM606 and looks awesome. well done
Beauty love this!
Pure work of art
Wish you made parts for the bmw M57
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.
can you sandwich an air to water cooler in that manifold?
How high do you guys plan to rev this those are some short runners especially compared to the OEM ones.
new to the channel so apologies if already covered. do you do manifolds for the om642 v6 engine
I must hear this.
By shortening the runner length how much has this manifold changed the torque over the rpm range?
You should anodice the i take manifold and then clear paint it to prevent corrosion.
Milspec type 3 hard coat anodize, only available in black, job done, decision made! It will resist methanol the best.
Need a billet manifold cover and oil cap now
Could we expect these for the 605 soon?
Would having such a short intake runners negatively affect torque? Or because this is a forced induction diesel is that a non issue?
I was wondering about that as well, like to know this..
I imagine low end torque will be affected. However being a turbo diesel that's something you generally have a surplus of. This will surely help with higher RPM power.
Love the song at 9:25! Can you tell my the song name?
If I were to put one of these in a boat, what is the continuous rated power the OM606 can produce without degradation?
