Compound turbo possible?

[Graham]

Well this is what mine has done:
Turbo brake delete
Waste gate delete
Egr delete
Light pump work


And I should be at 190hp and 300lb of tq ish. But it's a higher rpm diesel then most. I had it set to 4500 rpm redline when I modified the engine. Turbo dies shortly after that.

All in all its a ticking time bomb pushed north of 250hp it was built to be reliable with in a Hp range and that it does very well.
You can mod the 606 north of 450hp with no issues but I came across the 617 first and at a good price

And I'm ok with that. I wanted to build a daily driver not a race truck.

Can't we have both my Cummins is near 700 HP and I drive it daily since my girlfriends Saab 9-3 died she fell in love with my sonic and I haven't seen it since lol. Had her talked into buying Cruz turbo diesel until found out no manual.

My diesel will get 30-35 mpg. hahaha

All jokes aside. You can't argue with 700 Hp.

How much work to interface with your rangers electronics?

With 700hp even a built tranny with billet everything is a ticking time bomb... its something I think about proportionally to boost any time I crest 60psi. I raced a srt10 ram the other day and thought for sure I was gonna drop my tranny before I let him beat me. She held together fine tho

No electronics, all mechanical. I just have to make a simple wiring harness. Lucky for me father in law is a electrician. What we are doing is running the glow plugs, starter, off Solenoid to toggle switches (relays of course) but we are gonna. Make it so that the ranger key has to be Inge ignition and tuned on for them to get power.

The Rest of the ranger subsystems should work fine. I just wolnt have a mph and rpm gauge right off the bat. Got to go aftermarket

Indeed it is only a matter of time. This is why I don't want to push this truck to far. Just need a cool daily driver

I'm not good at this quoting thing lol

I meant the 300tq 190hp is a LOT for a little samurai. That's all I would need for sure. Is that engine lighter than the 606 that's capable of more?

Samurai would love a Busa 1300 swap. 6-spd ratchet shifter drivetrain included.

The 606 in a Inline 6 3.0, the 617 is a I line 5 3.0. I don't know the overall length of the 606 but I'm going to assume its not much heavier.

For a that I would go 4 cylinder so

601,604 and 611 are all 4 cylinders.

Smaller I5 would be the 605 witch is a 2.5

I found a 1982 300d sitting in a barn. Bought it for 750 bucks and ran the wheels off it for a year. A shock mount rusted out and I yanked the motor and trans and scraped the rest.

I bought a samurai that needs an engine, was looking @ 4bt and like them, but they're so heavy! Way overkill for a suki, but I kinda need a bit of the way to much in a toy like that

I had an 87 JX for a long time in my younger days, it remains one of my favorite cars to this day. Yep, the 1.3 leaves a lot to be desired as far as HP goes. You may already know but the 1.6 from the Sidekick is a bolt in affair as I understand it. Yeah, not a huge increase but certainly better than the 1.3

Turbo all the way! They did make a n/a version though

From going though the diesel swap and ranger forums it looks like mine is one of the first turbo Mercedes to ranger swaps in the USA. I found 2 other swaps. One n/a swap in the us and one turbo swap in Germany

I know, if I'm gonna do a swap I want it to be special. A 2.0turbo out of cobalt or caddy or solstice would be sweet swap. I don't know, I like the idea of small diesel wheeler

I would go with a 604 or 611 Mercedes. Keep it simple with the 4 cylinder but make mad power out of the little buggers. Not to mention the higher Rpms Mercedes diesel can achieve will help in off road situations.

Wikipedia said the turbos weren't till 97 I thought. I was trying to figure out what donor vehicle to look for and still have a lot of research to do obviously

Nope, 82-85 they had a 300d turbo.
