OM617 Performance
OM617 Performance
When I started my EM9D project I searched for about two weeks straight for a crank pulley, I found a few places that would build a custom one for $600.00. I could not justify buying what I ended up making for $60.00.
All of the parts have been fabricated by me. It would have been nice to just buy a kit, but for one there is NO fun in that route. If you want it easy then a Honda or SBC is the way to go. There is NO market for these cars as far as performance, WE are trailblazing the way to go.
There are a few ways to go, VNT, Twin Charge, Compound or just an upgraded turbo. As we go along we can see what the best option is, patience is what is needed to see what others are doing. Once they have the perfect set up then you can copy and do you own.
I am building my car because I thought the green wagon was cool and wanted to see if I could do the same. Once I am done I want to be known as the tan sedan from So Cal with the OMG617.
As you search through the net you will find a common cause all over the world - we all want to go faster. We have a few from Europe that we can learn much from. If it wasn't for tomnik, my project would only be eye candy - we are all here to help.
I hope you don't feel we aren't helping, we are on a common quest.

I am a hands on type of person and will try to build what I need by my own invention or reverse engineering what has already been done that is either no longer available or cost prohibitve.
