A very intelligent approach to teaching. Very good content and well presented. Can I suggest a video discussing the virtues of not over-fuelling too much and how too much fuel can actually slow turbo acceleration, dilute engine oil and anything else you can think of. Again a great video as always.
Suffice to say, the tab that the ALDA comes into contact with is the rack limiter. The more clockwise the tab is allowed to rotate is more fuel, more counter clockwise is less fuel (too far and it doesn't let the engine run). Adjusting bolt contacting the ALDA with the actuator at rest (no boost) will be your minimum fuel adjustment, and adjusting the the opposite side will be your maximum fuel adjustment. Any of the ALDA systems actuate that rack limiter and making adjustments following that principle will get you where you are trying to go. I mostly just described this for folks with some other ALDA if it operates differently. Luke, as always, I love what you do and share! Edit: I came back to read this and thought and my explanation wasn't clear enough.
I'm so glad you have posted this. I've recently got my car back from being worked on (big turbo and pump overhauled) and it's a bit smokier than I'd like. I'll have a go at adjusting the ALDA and see if I can improve it.
I love watching these videos, even the hour long engine building ones. And I have little intention of doing any engine building anytime soon but they’re just so entertaining
Glad I watched this video. Now I can make adjustments to a pump I'll probably never deal with! lol Thanks again for the video. Fun learning about different engines and their parts. I'm trying to find an OM606 for cheaper in the US but that isn't likely.
hello deiselpumpUK i'm from PHILIPPINES i watch your video all the time and i really like the way you explain how pump works in its high potential. actual i had a van with 603 engine in it. i was wondering if had had a slightly cheaper pump or element for my daily use van😊😊
heres an idea for that little pump: attach it to a 2jz or RB engine, would be fun to see how much it can push over those platforms, to the rb theres a RD engine that can be used as bottom with tb head, then its a matter of attaching the injectors
I wish you talked more about the OM617 You have a video explaining how little power you can make wirh a 5.5mm pump. Were you ever able to get the rated power (125hp) out of a stock OM617.952? I can't find data about that anywhere. Did Mercedes lie about the power output? Most of them seem to make 80hp at the wheels. Mine makes 100hp at the crank. I have the rack limiter adjusted to the max. I also have trouble making power above 4000Rpm. Peak power should be at 4400Rpm, but my engine power falls off at 4000Rpm. Could it be some pump issue like weak governor springs or do i have valve float or something? I had my 240D dynoed too. It made 55Hp at 3800 and 107nm at 3400. It is very worn out but what i find interesting is that it lacks top end power like the Turbocharged 300d
Good morning Luke I emailed your business email. Question for you since you are the Mercedes diesel man. I purchased an om606 that is a non-turbo mechanical injection here in the US but it came out of a 1986 300sd does that make sense. What size elements are typically in these non turbo mechanical 606 injection pumps. I'm putting it in a 81 Camaro with a 5-speed nv3500 transmission obviously I'm going to put a turbo on it. Here we call them barrels at your place you calling elements just curious on the maximum potential horsepower with the stock elements and the pump turned all the way up
@coreyellisart6877 if your up for a bit fiddling about the pump from w210 e300 turbodiesel has 6mm elements inside, those will swap into your om603/6 pump. Enough fuel for 250hp.
Hi everyone, i have modified my om606 with a 7.5mm mechanical pump, holset hx35, kangaroos manifold,3' exhaust and it makes around 350hp my problem is, my transmission is still the stock 5 speed automatic and when i floor it, the gearbox jumps out of gear and i have to stop the car completely and start it again. This happens at around 3000-4000 rpm, otherwise if i drive the car slowly and dont rev too high the transmission works well. Does anyone know why? and what i need to do to fix this? Would a transmission reset work? If you would know please tell me
Mercedes transmissions are known to be reliable and last a very long time, however they don't take power increases very well. The transmission needs to be modified to withstand higher hp / torque. It had something to do with transmission friction clutch plates and adjusting pressures etc. My W210 OM606 in which I have an evrymod, and sometimes it does the same thing as yours, so that is normal behavior with stock transmission with increased power.
@@ftwdude2139 It is not just a transmission control unit software tune. Tranmission needs to be removed and pulled apart and hardware changed inside it, dont know exactly what but i've heard that there are clutch friction discs added so it can hold more torque and not slip.

Thank you for teaching us about the 606 type pump!!! Brain happy! 😍🤯

@@Robdutton91 Same here. I adore good engineering
then there is no need of alda on a stock 156 pump?
Sold my Cedes but still dig y’all’s content. Lots of knowledge shared.
Excellent tutorial on fuel regulations
Very Very Nice, says Tom from Germany

Hello, great video. You can make a video for the timing chain replacement ? Thanks
Love your videos
Start messing the Bosch P7100 for us cummins guy’s please and thank you 🤙🏼
bro imagine putting the P7100 on an om606. 1000+hp om606 would be insane
@@Not2Day117Google it. Someone adapted one to an om606 pull tractor.
Could you do a video on exhaust back pressure? Theres a lot of conflicting information floating around
Cuanto cuesta una bomba asi @dieselpumpuk y hasta para cuantos hp's puedes conceguir con ella?

Bonjour. J'ai une.w 202 250 td de 1997. Jaimerais savoir combien coûte une pompe comme celle-ci ?
Can you do something similar to the OM314 pump?
Hi. It is possible to adopt 1999 vacuum pump from 0M606 to previous engine 606-1996 and 97 which is dangerous and match broken vacuum pump?

Did you find out?
@@mbz4652 I never got a reply.
What will you do when there is no more 606 to be bought?
what is CC? is it cc/min at full load and max rpm ?
Funny im watching this as a royal purple ad comes on with dylan huges who has a 606 swapped BMW wagon drift taxi.

That's a 5.5mm pump.
@professorjamesmoriarty5191 thank you for the info that's what I figured I think it needs a bosch cummins p7100 pump with 12mm elements turned down
@@coreyellisart6877 12mm is overkill. 7mm is good for 350hp easily, I've got 500hp on 8mm.

Well out here in the states it's 2grand for a pump with 8mm from dieselpumpuk
Or 900 for a p pump
