OM648 swap into a w123
OM648 swap into a w123
Hi there, I've been following this thread for a few months now. I have a mint '83 200D that I want to convert to OM647 with 722.6400 as per W211.
As the car is in almost as new condition I want to trial the conversion in a rough 280E chassis that I have so I can finesse everything beforehand.
I have no experience of reading and interpreting CAN signals, minimal experience in oscilloscope diagnostics but can soon pick things up. I'm a truck diesel mech by trade so the mechanical aspect does not worry me.
Have you got as far as being able to construct and sell a device to run the engine using just the engine ecu with your trans controller? I prefer the five pot motor as it is slightly lighter, produces roughly the same power as the M110 and carries on the W123 five pot tradition. Crucially here in the UK the E270cdi did not need a DPF which makes life easier, however I would like to try and fit some type of NOx reduction system such as SCR as diesel is becoming a dirty word here.
I would appreciate any time and advice you are able to give and hats off to you for your work so far.
