Nice set up. If the engines are getting thin on the ground and a lot are being sent abroad maybe a core charge / exchange would be a good long term business idea?
Well boys I think I found a unicorn over here in Florida! I'm going to go look at a 99 E300! Wish me luck! I want one of these engines so bad. The car is in really really nice shape with absolutely no flaws inside or out exterior for the little black skirt underneath the rear bumper. At 8k I think it's viable. Again wish me luck.
I have 2 w210 with 606's. I keep thinking I want to sell them as the market is high now. Then this channel drops another awesome conversion..not selling.
Amazing content!! I follow you a long time but now I have a om606 myself. I have a lot learned by your videos. Thanks! I know how many hours it kosts to make videos.
Great video, with the big advantage of the Om606 being the mechanical diesel, over the M57, what options are there for putting a hydraulic non-electronic control automatic, between the Om606 and the LT230 transfer box please? Guess no options for going upto ZF 4HP22? Thanks
I didn't make the cost list of both, but I am planning to swap my Mitsubishi pajero with the om606 over the m57 because 1) it's cheaper in my country, (500€+-) and 2)no electronic needed which is a very difficult part if like me don't know how work on it
606 pricy to buy and parts needed for it are pricy installs but probably easier. M57 theres so many diffrent choices to make about the install that price is really variable. I went with the earlier engine as wireing is easier. It only takes 9 wires from body to ecu and 5 of them are the pedal. Theres plenty of standalone options aswell to make it even easier.
I have a 606 In a gwagon thst i was given the body is far beyond saving. Of My Td5 gives up in my 110 this will be going in. Just his 200k last month and still running like new though .
The exit of the air box goes to the left but in a 200tdi the intake is on the right. That also being the hole in the wing and the snorkel is fitted on the right. Do you do any sort of kit you sell to move it
It looks a nice set up but can it handle 46 + degree in the out back of Australia. Will that motor up against a 4.5 lt twin turbo landcurise or 4.2 lt turbo landcurise. Motor will last 20000 miles
Hello! have an engine om606 s210 1998 release; when the car is in front of the mountain, the diesel flows somewhere, and the car does not start (what could be the reason for this, Tell me please 🙏🙏 you have a very cool company and channel, I've been watching you for a long time) thank you!
I'm a fan of the om606 but the om642 cam in the commander for you guys. I want to diesel swap my commander but I'm figuring the om642 would be easier to swap since it came as an option everywhere except the states. Any advice?
100 comments good for you. Can someone tell me is my 1996 om606 non turbo worth anything substantial? Still rums good with 356k miles... located in Alabama
Sorry for parading my ignorance. Does this engine have any can-bus electronic control and if so how does it interface with that old style vehicle. I've seen people fitting a modern engine into an old chassis and the software issues have been massive and more problems than all the mechanical aspects put together. Nice looking job by the way.
Well you need power plus exciter wire for the starter and you need power feed plus exciter for the alternator but not the same exciter wire. Oh and also sensors for oil pressure and oil temp and water temp, maybe a tach if you fancy, that will come off the alternator if you buy one from Luke. That is if your running electrical gauges. Hope that helps.
Hi, do you do any engine system that would go into a Land rover discovery 4? Failing that, do or could you make a replacement crank for the factory motor as the ones used from factory are piss poor weak and fail all to often. Many thanks in advance.
Amazing beautiful project set up. For 1995 defender 110 2.5 petrol R380. LHD SALLDHAD8MA957074 How much complete kit total cost. Without gearbox. M606 used With Air conditioner bracket Exhaust Radiator Oil cooler AC condinsor Plug & play. Waiting your reply.
I've been dreaming of putting one in my 95 Discovery. I've heard different things. Will the ZF 4hp22 automatic transmission handle the 300 horsepower? Also, am I able to request a specific year of motor manufacture? I live in California and cannot install a motor newer than my original one to pass the emission standards.
@@uliwehner Well, for starters, its California. In order for me to do the swap, diesel has to have been an original factory option and the engine can't be newer than the year of my vehicle. There are hoops you have to jump through and its a hassle, but it is possible. Other options are is to put in a Land Rover diesel, which I hear can be boosted up decently, and putting a Cummins4bt in it, which was my original plan until I learned of the Mercedes engines.
@@westernwanderer8397 the 4 bt is massively heavier. They do make the power with the right parts. Power driven diesel has a video of the dyno session of a 4bt in a Ford excursion. 435 hp and almost 1000lbs torque
Hi love your vids the 606 is certainly the daddy when it comes to diesel engines however with you working a bit with darkside performance have you ever thought of doing a conversion kit for the vw 1.9 pd engine for landrover The prima diesel out of the montego was a popular swap for the series landys and the pd has alot more potential than one of them be interested to see your thoughts on this? Keep posting great vids👍
He doesn't seem to reply to video comments? He is either a poor businessman, or not very trustworthy (particularly not replying to the technical questions he gets)
@@beeftec5862 Beccause they have a business to run and not just sit there on social media like some of yous 24/7🤦. A business will not thrive just off uploading videos😂 The guy has a family look after, customer projects, dyno testing, part testing, designing entirely new components, finding new ways to make conversions easier. Pretty easy to tell he's flat out working and living life. Be grateful he uploads videos otherwise 50%+ of people who like Mercedes diesels would be severely uneducated. You wouldn't know how busy it is owning a business until you've owned one yourself. Your lack of thought is quite amazing.
The VW 1.9 is a very popular swap into many different vehicles so finding the swap gear for those is super easy. I.E. my 92’ Suzuki Sidekick has 1.9 swapped in with an M5R1 Ford trans n T-case, that market is over saturated with people building swap kits. Luke’s busy building OM605/606 swap stuff which I only know of 1 other company currently building swap kits for those motors and only know of 1 guy building 8.5mm mechanical pumps, he even produces a billet pump housing which is freakin sick!!!
I don’t have a 500HP version, I only have an 680HP version. 500HP you can do that all day with stock pistons. Well until you run out of fuel. Only time I’ve ever seen a piston failure is if the injector has problems or your rings weren’t properly gapped for the intended use. Like injector constantly dumps fuel and never shuts off. Unless your putting it in an airplane why would it be wide open for long durations of time?
Sadly, these motors and their associated conversions have become way too expensive. Back top sticking with what we already have. Luke, HTFU and do up the VP44 pumps and stop hanging on the ZD30 hate.
Is something British? Well. It’s gotta have three things: 1some English made POS that needs a drivetrain swap cause they apparently can’t make an engine worth a fuck. 2 a German, Japanese or American powertrain (usually newer) 3. A god damn Land Rover.
Repent to Jesus Christ! Are you a sinner? Mark 2:17 King James Version 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
The quality of your gear is off the scales 👍
This guy knows his stuff, total honesty , fantastic
As an ex mechanic and now beef farmer I would be interested to know the price on this setup(wether this is a viable) project.💯👍

Hi from Australia
I can’t wait to see you magicians do a land cruiser collarado .

Dang a reliable defender at last!
Oohhh the temptation! that setup is amazing.
Great video. I just wish you were here in the 🇺🇸. I have the engine and a 2011 Jeep wrangler jk. Drooling. 🥃

Yes of course

Amazing.
What is the price of all this goodness?
PS: should not mention 'breakdown' and Landrover in the heading!!!!
nice video - do you have a documentary video of the entire Land Rover Defender/Discovery conversion?
Cheers for sharing this. All thing beings equal, which is more complex and costly to do? An M57 swap or the OM606?
I didn't make the cost list of both, but I am planning to swap my Mitsubishi pajero with the om606 over the m57 because 1) it's cheaper in my country, (500€+-) and 2)no electronic needed which is a very difficult part if like me don't know how work on it
