The best engine - stan - 03-05-2011
If you had to pick one mercedes engine to put all your time, money and love into which would you pick? The engine that you would keep forever, move from chassis to chassis etc.
RE: The best engine - dieselboy - 03-05-2011
Om606 with a mechanical pump would be my choice. Just need to find one for a decent price.
RE: The best engine - DeliveryValve - 03-05-2011
That's a tough call.
I would choose the OM606A.
But a close second would be OM642.920 if money is no object.
But on the cheap... OM617.95x.
RE: The best engine - stan - 03-05-2011
besides being an interesting thread, i'm going to be taking some auto shop classes at my school in the next semester or two. they recommend you have an engine to rebuild - the sequence of the classes is a complete rebuild - everything - and they have pretty great equipment. i'm really partial to the 617 just because it's what i know, but i'm thinking maybe if i get this once-in-a-long-time chance to rebuild an engine properly for the cost of parts, it might make sense to consider my options.
whats teemu petolta running? 606? when are the fin bastards going to share their diesel secrets for big power?
edit: DAMN. 3.0 24V TD I6 177 PS (130 kW; 175 hp) 330 N·m (243 lb·ft) OM606A E300 Turbodiesel
RE: The best engine - ForcedInduction - 03-05-2011
OM444
21.9L 551HP twin-turbo V12
RE: The best engine - Biohazard - 03-05-2011
I would go with 606A, or 605A as a close second if money was no object.
I like the V12, but what the hell you would put it in? A hotrod toy hauler? Rat rod Kenworth? LOL

Stock turbo engine with big turbo, big ic, Mynä pump etc gets you quite far.
RE: The best engine - George3soccer - 03-06-2011
OM605, would be my perfect choice.
RE: The best engine - offroadbakos - 03-18-2011
I allready have the om605 turbo and this summer am going to try to get my hands on a om606 turbo and order a KKD manifold and myna pump

That is a very pretty manifold.
RE: The best engine - garage - 03-18-2011
Either a om606 with mechanical pump, or a om605. Its where all the BIG power is at.
But there is just somthing SO charming about the 617...
RE: The best engine - Spaceraver - 03-19-2011
OM606.962, OM648.961 or just for grunt a OM629.9xx engine tho for the latter two it needs custom ECU's.
RE: The best engine - Diesel-Wiking - 03-19-2011
I don't like the sound in 603 and 606, so om617A is my engine of course
RE: The best engine - 300SD_KY - 03-19-2011
will it fit in W116?

RE: The best engine - 300D50 - 03-20-2011
I think I inadvertantly picked an NA 617 in my real life scenerio...
RE: The best engine - JTY - 03-22-2011
OM605 gets my vote, good size, reliable, very good for superturbo project and handles lot of punishment
Still OM617 is very nice engine that has taken my heart
RE: The best engine - Motorhead - 03-22-2011
I would do the 606.
RE: The best engine - majesty78 - 03-23-2011
OM 612 from C30 AMG CDI ;-)
RE: The best engine - offroadbakos - 03-23-2011
for the time i'll stick to OM605 turbo my spare pump flyes to MYNA in mid May and by the end of June turbo Holset HX30 (or maybe a HX35w with http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/supra_2147_28572646.jpg to compensate for lag?)
and KKD motorsports manifold and MYNA Pump will be with me to be stored until end of Oktober so i can start working on my Gwagen again.And start following Jeemu's instractions!
Thanks for the input Jeemu!!

RE: The best engine - Ksteen2 - 11-09-2012
my favorit Diesel Merc engine must bee the OM606A and the OM603A hard to choose one of those, amazing power in the OM606, inzane sound in the OM603 :o
