straight six turbo in a 240z brings me back to my first ride in one, back in 1993. Stock engine with a junkyard turbo on it. it certainly kept the neighbors on their toes in M'boro TN
You guys need to do 3 things before it's maiden voyage. 1 Pin the pintake cam gear, 2 change out the main crank bolt with a higher grade steel one with red loctite cranked to the moooon and lastly, upgrade your valve srpings tot he KM springs or CDI ones to prevent valve float. PM me if you need info. I'm building a Om606 as we speak. Borg warner 257 sxe twin scroll manifold. 7.5mm 603 pump etc etc.
If you guys ever need a more aggressive set of Cams for this engine contact Crower, it seems they did a set once and they always keep their grind profile files.
Dude. I've fantasized about this same swap for years. Thank you for bringing it to fruition. A part of me feels fulfilled. :) thank you thank you thank you!
I think we all have under estimated a build project before. 10-15% of the build take's 60-80% of the time. especially when adding new fabrication to the vehicle besides an engine swap. I also liked the comment about getting old and wanting to be comfortable when driving a performance car. I can relate, making sure the suspension, seat and climate control is addressed, when planning a current project.
Suddenly I see this 240D turning into a freshly detailed daily/show car. You say install like Air conditioning, stereo system, ice as well as sound deafening sounds promising of a #Sema21 build. Wish you and team the best of the Z car.
@@lexusoregon631 if you message me on IG - toykoz32 i can send you a few photos i have. Never thought to take many pictures or video when i was doing it 2 years ago. Once i get the car back from paint i will probably pull the dash and do a video.
Just a tip. In case you guys haven't thought about it, the stock batteries in these diesel Benz are usually group 49. Probably the smallest you should run. Those starters and glow plugs get hungry.
This channel is going to take off one day. All the pieces are in place, just need youtube to catch on. Very good content guys. Great quality and speed of these builds
Hi From France. Better you let glow plugs get hot during 30 sec, before try to start. And you can let glow plugs running during 2-3 min when engine is running. You will reduce calamine.
Wow that sounds amazing, I have an 87 mercedes 300sdl with over 320k miles on it and it still runs like a champ. It has the om603 in case you were curious and my goodness the om60x series is amazing including the 606. I'm thinking of either upgrading my 603 with 606 internals or swap in a 606 eventually but I dont have the money for that yet. Love the content and keep up the great work!
I believe the w209 mercedes black series mounts are the same style you have there, just way more rigid. And pretty cheap! Should be able to take the torque better. I snapped the driver side of the mounts you have with a 4.3 v8.. you got a mountain of torque
that thing sounds epic, I love keeping up with your builds. I've followed your 240 build since the beginning and it is always interesting to see where you guys will take it next
250 Deg oil cooler in front of your Air to Air inter cooler may be a bad idea. Need to put it off tho the side to keep your IAT’s down.,,,,,,Incredible cool build!
We played around with it a lot, in the end there was no way to get the oil cooler anywhere else without it looking absolutely ridiculous. Realistically, the actual air temp difference on the back side of the oil cooler should only be a few degrees, it won’t be pumping 250* air onto the IC. I’m hoping having it biased on the far side of the core from the inlets and outlets should mitigate it too but we will definitely be keeping an eye on IAT’s
This is an amazing build video. I really like your voice, glad you speak about so much. just subbed and will be following it further! can't wait to see you throw down!
Dudes I love your videos I really wish I had the space to toy with my old e39 m52b28 bmw it has semi forged internals from factory since it's eu specked at least that's what the documentation said but I have no space and in Argentina everything is worth an arm and a kidney. Love your videos God speed to you
Nice to see the om606 has finally been found world wide, they are a unbelievable engine for a diesel, but what I want to know is what is the little 2 post lift called?

FYI the factory exh manifold is cast steel (not cast iron), it welds just fine. No preheating necessary
Eh, doesn't hurt anything either tho
@@md4luckycharms on thick stuff its much easier to weld once its already hot :D
Good to know. I still ended up brazing it for the Datsun just because I couldn’t figure out what material it was.
The best sounding diesel engine in one of my dream cars.. Priceless
Oh yes. The Parker push -lock system is sooooooo nice. No leaks and it's good to like 600psi with no clamps
Over here excited to k swap our 280z thinking it'll be unique, y'all are crazy doing this. Big respect and excited to see how this project turns out

And also the keyway in the crank is terrible, need to grind out crank and fit bigger one,

This build is my intro to this channel. Love the content guys, thanks for keeping lockdowns in Canada entertaining.
I freaking love this build guys, the OM606 is such a strong engine so I can’t wait to see what you guys manage to do with the car.
Suddenly I see this 240D turning into a freshly detailed daily/show car. You say install like Air conditioning, stereo system, ice as well as sound deafening sounds promising of a #Sema21 build.
Wish you and team the best of the Z car.
Epic work guys! I can't believe how much progress was made. I'm still completely shocked your channel isn't blowing up. Hope it gets huge soon.
Sounds like a bot
@@THESLlCK I sometimes do lol. I'm just fanboying out.
local SD guys hell yeah hope to see this thing in person soon
Pair up the cylinders, run 2 small turbos (1 per 3 cylinders) into 1 big turbo to compound.
To get a better flow you could have used the egr hole to the wastegate and make a proper nice flowing adapter to the turbo.
I'm in love for your Datsun... 2jz diesel motor... Will be the beast... Great project for shore... Congratulations... From Portugal 🇵🇹
dang one of those diesels in a 4x4 Yota pickup would be pretty amazing..cool build though!
I miss the 2.3l (i have a turbo 2.3 ranger) but the OM606 is just...wow. i need one.
wasnt to stoked on this build but now i wanna see this thing rip . nice work guys
Can't wait to see how this thing runs on the street! I bet it will be a surprise ripper!!
Vintage Air has a nice system that fits the 240z well, thats what i fitted to mine. I also did a swap but a V6 Vg30det from a Nissan Cima.
Do you have pics? I'm trying do something similar

Loving the build so far

That’s what is in the car now
Good progress in this video. Looking great can't wait to see it on the road
OM606 is so cool! There is almost always one or two of them at drift events in Sweden/Norway (Y)
Here in finland they drift them at snow on street
You guys are the reason im boosting an oolder 2.3 ford for my '80 Fairmont. Love the channel guys! This car is gonna be sick!
Looks like an awesome project. Can't wait to see it run down the road.
I honestly never realized that you can run a diesel without the intake manifold. Cool.
i do it every time my manifold is off, the valve slap from the valves closing makes it sound like a ww2 fighter plane
diesel engines are fuel controlled not air controlled
I always enjoy a good Z project, my second card was I was 17 was a 260z. I sure miss that car. Let up the good work and cool project.
This channel is going to take off one day. All the pieces are in place, just need youtube to catch on. Very good content guys. Great quality and speed of these builds
Loki fittings makes those throttle linkage pieces you need. Might do this swap into a 72 datsun pickup

This project is super cool. I love seeing unique builds.
How have a not heard of this thing yet? So awesome!!
Can't wait to see a smokey burnout mixed with that smokey exhaust 🤘🏻🔥
good to see you guys building something different to every one else diesel 240z it will rip!!!!
Underestimated how much work it was,. That is the story of my life...
Wow that sounds amazing, I have an 87 mercedes 300sdl with over 320k miles on it and it still runs like a champ.

One of the best build series on TH-cam
Yea, sounds good! Good to see it run. Looking forward to seeing on the street!
I've got a 97 4x4 Mitsubishi Shogun TD that would benefit greatly from a swap like this. Good luck guys, who know I might do the swap myself.
looking forward to seeing it on the road. great job with what has been accomplished so far. keep driving on!!!
hell yeah and it actually fits under the hood
Water pump probably has a steel/aluminum/metal wheel vs what is normally plastic
Wow, you guys got a lot done in a couple weeks! That thing is going to rip for sure. Very nice work.
That little car is gonna be a rocket
I believe the w209 mercedes black series mounts are the same style you have there, just way more rigid. And pretty cheap! Should be able to take the torque better. I snapped the driver side of the mounts you have with a 4.3 v8.. you got a mountain of torque
Any engine swap is more work than expected doing a killer job though keep it up
Not quit the frame rail yet the floor support was similar just looked rough so i recently had to do some touch up in a similar way
looking nice mate
cant wait to see it on the road
Awesome build. You inspire me to work on my s30.
that thing sounds epic, I love keeping up with your builds. I've followed your 240 build since the beginning and it is always interesting to see where you guys will take it next
the car is looking really good guys you gotta love them om606 diesel 2jz engines love your work guys
Careful with those filters that have the open front. Those metal disks have been known to get sucked into turbos.
Now this is a project I wish to do replicate myself
im officially loving the datsun again, looks great lads

I did the same thing on my 700 hp turbo delsol. By moving it it lowered my IAT’s 30 to 35 deg. I can’t wait to see it rip!
@@christopherwhite8877 well, shit maybe that will take higher priority
Shifting the trans was an asmr experience
Now it's time for valve spring job, OM648 oil sump, Go for 7000rpm.
Cant wait to see dyno results, kind of want one of these in my 74 f250.
glad you guys had George Lucas there to help supervise. Love the build
This brings me so much joy 🤣
Need to put a PTO on that thing so you can run a bush hog and other tractor stuff with that torque monster
I wasn't really into the Datsun before, buthis is a really interesting build to me now. Great work boys, it's looking good!
Planning to do an om606 build soon, thanks for the inspiration!
You guys should put a throttle body on the front of your turbo, if it ever runs away you can close it and choke it out
This is the best Mercedes engine ever made!!! I love it
Beam Toosted. I can wait 2 weeks for content, because it’s that good.
It’s fire as always! 🔥🔥🔥
Can’t wait to see this thing melt the tries off! Cool project!
Can’t wait to see this thing rolling.
This is an amazing build video. I really like your voice, glad you speak about so much. just subbed and will be following it further! can't wait to see you throw down!
How tf did I completely miss out on this build even though I’m subbed to you guys. I’ve been wanting a 606 in a sports car for years now. This is tits
This thing is going to be super rad
I must say my Harbor Freight drill press has lasted a peculiarly long time.
Sounds amazing guys, can't wait to see it move under its own power. Keep up the great work. #sick!!!!
I'm getting major "yes, daddy" vibes from the guy in the red shirt and crocs
"HOHOOOOOO BEP" 🤣🤣 i should not have laughed so hard at that rad hose
i love this project, so sick to see it coming along boys, good shit.
Raise hell praise dale brother 🤘🤘🤘
Awesome work guys. Love the diesel power.
awesome build, cant wait to watch a vid of it on the road.... keep it up guys
Spray some brake cleaner on the belt while its running. Will help dissipate the squeal quick
I like i bought two om606 im hooked!@ how much was exhurst manifold thks plus like the lift
Dudes I love your videos I really wish I had the space to toy with my old e39 m52b28 bmw it has semi forged internals from factory since it's eu specked at least that's what the documentation said but I have no space and in Argentina everything is worth an arm and a kidney. Love your videos God speed to you
It seems very responsive and should be a blast to roll a little coal . Make it nice and heat and a/c , all the creature comforts .
Can you make a video example how you did the wiring. I’m planning to build my 190E with the om606. I like how you have it set up!!
Another unique 240z build, subscribed!
Straight 6 is the best engine layout, change my mind
When you finish this you should meet up with Westen's Smokestang. Now that would be epic seeing these two cars together.
should be interesting. Westen's cummins weighs almost as much as the car....
6k rpm is pretty damn good, bet you could get it up to 9k or above!
In a diesel?
@@Kinkese yep
Ok this is dope. Love the z chassis. Been thinking of a mk2 golf tdi om606 swap
This is going to be such an amazing car
Nice to see the om606 has finally been found world wide, they are a unbelievable engine for a diesel, but what I want to know is what is the little 2 post lift called?
FYI i made 569whp through a log manifold on a rb25det on3 gt35r setup so that manifold should be fine
I hope the final exhaust goes out the back. I know that's not a popular idea at the moment but if it's supposed to be nice to drive.
Hood exit is temporary!
Loving the build good work guys
