Jeep Wrangler YJ om606 swap
Jeep Wrangler YJ om606 swap
The car is now street legal. The swap inspection procedure was less painful than I had imagined or had been warned of, maybe because my swap project was quite proper with load simulations and drawings, plus I did some name dropping during the procedure.
The clutch is slipping quite a lot, had to modify the stock turbo return line as my welded AN fitting + stock flange broke at the bolt hole. The rebuilt chinese core KKK was leaking oil in to the exhaust so I swapped it back to the second donors turbo which works very good.
I ordered a new clutch spec stage 1 and will swap nv3550 to ax15.
I asked the mercedesturbodiesel4x4.com guy what the max torque would be on the spaced flywheel (which he ships with sketchy 8.8 hardware) and he stopped responding.
If you plan on doing a jeep swap- just go with nag1(722.6) from WK 3.7 + controller. Swap the bell from stock 606 and put on the np231 or anything else on the rear (I think needs a spiline adapter).
I suspect that the mercedesdiesel4x4.com flywheel will eat up your crank bearings eventually or just snap off with anything larger than a 6mm pump. The seller seems a bit way in over his head not disclosing what "normal use" constitutes behind om606. I suggested this but haven't heard back.
