this engine is not the only available option, you can do pretty much the same with newer BMW series engines M57 lots of modifications, easy to push them towards 400Hp region. A lot of parts available since the engine is newer. One of the most popular mods is to take the injectors and bigger turbo from 210Kw twin turbo engine, this will give you easy 400Hp alone. It might be even easier to work on then this om606. m57 is also good for around 500-600hp without changing inner parts.
@@JoshRiolu 616 is a gutless NA 4cyl with like 60hp.completely useless. A 617 is a turbo 5 cyl which is capable of a little power but high 250ish or approaching 300hp with head work and a big pump is about all it will do and it will be hot and cranky. It's all about airflow.
It wouldn't be like you think. It's not a cummins. Not even a truck motor. It would do ok with a light load like on a race week, but it wouldn't tow heavy for shit. Lol
With a triple pass radiator big unit, NV4500 trans and a huge oil cooler I think the bags would handle the weight. Structurally it would be a challenge. The mass would break all the spot welds in the body would be my guess.
If this was parked next to rob dahms 3 rotor it would look like it was related 😆 I like the look of the longer tailpipe too it looks cleaner than a stubby one to me 🤷🏻♂️
The 240 has came a long way, great work on the car! reminds me of when me and my dad used to build up his 1999 BMW 540i. Kickass car and love the content!
Diesels are becoming more popular and I'm all for it. Nothing like quiet, high power and high torque. I had no idea how crazy those Duramax diesels are, too. Super cool to see how tame they seem but how rowdy they get.
You can tune them at some extent, increasing/decreasing fuel amount. When they changed the boost, they should have changed the fuel amounts as well. The black smoke is because the air/fuel ratio is not correct. It might be because the engine does not get enough air, thats why further tuning it might require to supercharge it as well :)
@super hessu It isn't as simple as that. If it was strictly a drag vehicle what you said would be true, but a street vehicle has many more variables. Even common rails that are tuned to "perfection" will still smoke heavily on the street under numerous circumstances. With mechanical injection its even harder to make it have minimal smoke on the street, even under full boost.
@super hessu it is a sort of “rule of thumb” but just because it is smoking on boost doesn’t mean there’s too much fuel. Temperature, elevation, and others can contribute to smoke. He is also stomping on the throttle like an N/A vehicle, if he brake boosted it would more than likely smoke less on his highway pulls
480hp Best build on TH-cam!!! That smoke coming out the back is making me hungry for some barbecue. It’s fire as always!!! Boosted shades everyone, we need more builds from this crew!!!!
If you tune a engine to run clean with the current turbo it'll always pickup power if you give it extra fuel. Sure there's a limit after which it's excessive yet the basis is still there, max power is smokey
What a great job you did to make this such a masterpiece, it is difficult to find or modify such a thing and attach a diesel engine to it, great work guys 😱🔥🔥
A smart move would be to add a intake closing throttle valve so when you get diesel runaway from boosting so much you can shut it down and save it, this is a must if you care about your motor. Message me if you need more info.
The exhaust back pressure will push open the wastegate even with no help from intake manifold pressure on the diaphragm. Stiff spring will keep the gate closed longer.
This is absolutely one of the coolest builds I've ever seen. I don't even usually like bags, but this is a good application. Can't wait to see more guys! Please take this to the strip after dyno.
I think that you can hear the mechanics working in any (older) diesel engine and i6 engines are known for there quite engine run than is just a great combination for engine sounds
My 11L 6x6 Mack blew loads more soot..its about right as mech fuel pumps overfuel before the burn catches up...maybe the California locals don't like that but even my VDJ79 V8 smokes more underload. You can always add a small % of av gas for a cleaner burn
About 500 + on the grin-giggle meter. Enough to maybe consider traction control. Enough to need wipers on the side windows. More fun than should be allowed , Seriously, wound up and fueled, somewhere near the 600rwhp (+/- 50 or so)(depending on the intake)
Founds this on my suggested, this thing is SICK! I need to go looking around and watching the rest of the videos for this. I am just guessing on a whim, this thing will make 467 rwhp. Good luck! Look forward to seeing the dyno vids!

You need air to make boost. Filter is a limiter. You can change all you want but no breathing no power. Also not going to lose the black smoke with not enough air, plus egt is going to rise.
@Team Boosted Why don't you use your Turbo Grill that you originally took off & put some air conditioner filter cloth sandwiched between the Turbo Grill & Turbo that way you're getting the max airflow & still keeping out anything that would hurt the turbo. It will be 750 HP @ 40 psi
Is there a way to put an aftermarket electronically controled fuel pump that either tunable or self tunes or both ? Using a metaphor here so be kind ,in gasoline engines you can convert from a carburetor to EFI can you go from mechanical fuel injection to computer controled fuel injection?
I would say map your air fuel ratio so that you get as little smoke under full boost. The less smoke you get, the more complete your burn, the most effective horsepower you’ll get. Check out Gale Banks’ TH-cam channel, and he’ll do a good job explaining a few things
What size pump elements and fuel cc’s are you guys pushing? Also what rear gear is in the car? Killer setup I cant wait to get my project going thanks for the inspiration!!!

For more boost the controller is not well connected to the wastegate... They need to plug the tube into the hole on top the wastegate "top side of the membrane", you can almost double the 27 psi that way..
you dont really want anything acting on the topside of the gate that doesn't have some sort of closed loop control. relying on drive pressure alone to open the gate is a bit daft, you'd be better off just capping the wastegate port and hoping you don't disintegrate something.

You need about 1 square inch of filter area for every 10hp. Just to give you an idea how big a filter you need. 👍
Does that include depth and paper thickness or porosity?
Still can't get over how your wide angle lens makes the seats look like barcaloungers.
I spotted the Brit.
That black smoke, wait til it's tuned right, it'll put down more power.
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it a mechanical pump? I mean you can not tune those, like you can with modern electronic pumps..

Kinda curious how awesome thing would sound coming to a stop if it had an engine/exhaust/jake brake lol
Awesome comment
all that smoke is unused horsepower. Needs more air. Hope you are bringing a larger turbo for dyno day?
no, no smoke is lost power. When there is smoke, you definitly have enough fuel
@@jeversgang that is what i said
@@uliwehner no, i wanted to point out, that when no smoke is there, your not running on limit
Probably can't get any air with that absolutely tiny air filter they put on it.

I'd probably choose a 2.4L 5cyl JTDM diesel if it would fit in an SW20, that would be a pretty unique swap
because a 3ltr rwd config diesel would be a suitable swap for a mr2 🙄
too heavy... It might ruin car stability completely
