The OM606 is the diesel 2JZ basically

[@AlexJeffDust-RenAzuma66]

Some even rev comparably high. There are videos of them turning near 8k

[@RadioactiveSaddam]

Yes, there are some sick builds that deliver well over 600hp with stock internals.

[@jackmagnium6115]

you can in fact swap parts with both engines. and they will fit eachother with minor issues. in fact you can swap an OM606 into the engine bay of a Mk4 supra and use the factory motor mounts(as hot rod garage has proven by shoving a 2jZ into the hood of a mercedes CL500 from 2003)

[@ciubotarucristian8269]

Yeah, do a indepth dive into om606 :)

[@bzilla-d4i]

In terms of on track it would more likely be the M57 or the 1.9 TDI VW engines, where I'm from if you see a 1.9 TDI 3 door Polo you steer well clear of getting completely embarrassed, that and the MK1 Golf, there's always a MK1 faster than you. Doesn't matter what you're running. Here are a couple of MK1's pushing well over 1000hp in a body that weighs 800kgs. And they have a variety of builds

[@module79l28]

Oh boy, Ian, the tuned diesel culture in Europe is not a rabbit hole, it's a freakin' tunnel! And I'm not even talking about the even crazier diesel drag racing scene!😄 The 1320 YT channel did a video in Santa Pod (UK) last year and the presenter looked so lost amongst the "sea" of unknown (for him) cars and models. As someone who knows about the heavy presence of portuguese drivers in the UK's drag racing scene, I found that video hilarious but entertaining at the same time. 😀

[@solumnisdead6457]

i was really hoping someone would talk about this, that video is awesome, not only does it show you a culture americans aren't aware off but also its shown BY an american who doesn't really understand how it works so there's a fair bit of explaining (im also proud cuz there's a lot of Portuguese garages at Santa Pod)

Please note, that most of the cars in the video are more or less heavily tuned

[@AB-C1]

[@grabedigger]

Yeah, I've modded my 1.3cdti Corsa D with a remap and it immediately started to fart smoke all over the place, gained some 25hp and a lot of torque, the clutch still managed the power mostly because there are 110hp engines with the same displacement from Opel and Alfa Romeo (MiTo). The car sounds menacing with just a cone air filter.

[@PartikleVT]

@@AB-C1 you do get that result with just an evry mod though, its not that big of a build. I'm pretty sure every volvo 2.4td has that done to them here in Finland. What comes to the sound of these, its not a big modification to change the muffler, but it is not stock.

You really need to check some highly tuned. OM606 videos. They make like 150bhp stock but can be tuned with bigger and more powerful diesel pump and better internal parts to make 700-900bhp and the engine can revs over 7000 RPM and it sounds so good.

[@Kev27RS]

A Diesel that sounds good? 😅

[@Markus-ht2we]

In Germany, and I believe in other European countries as well, gasoline and diesel are taxed differently. Because of this, under certain conditions (like driving long distances), you can save money. That’s why diesel cars are so common in Europe.

[@Kev27RS]

Not as common anymore. Diesel ownership has gone down significantly over the last 5 years! Lots of cars in general nowadays (old and especially new ones) are Petrol.

[@exodus23socu]

3:25 In spain we call that engine the 2jz diesel

[@Mx-Alba]

Why Europeans like diesel engines so much? 1) They're easier to drive. Remember, we mostly have manual transmission cars... A diesel engine is much harder to stall than a petrol one. Just lift the clutch and you're off! 2) They're cheaper to drive. In most European countries, diesel fuel is cheaper than petrol. What's more, diesel cars get better mileage, lower CO2 emissions, and a longer maintenance interval. Diesel cars that I've had... a 2001 Hyundai Satellite SVX 2.5TDI, a 2000 Volvo V40 1.9D Europa (1.9 liter turbo diesel), a 2012 Volvo C30 D2 R-Design (1.6 liter turbo diesel) and a 2016 Volvo V40 D3 Cross-Country (2.0 liter turbo diesel).

[@jacobzimmermann59]

What you say is historically true, but in the past 10-15 years or so Europe massively switched to automatic transmissions as well, unfortunately. Also with the new emissions standards diesel is close to dead, which is a real shame because for some applications it's the ideal engine, like when you tow a trailer or caravan, or for offroading where you need maximum torque at low speed.

[@zerodelay1630]

wdym? diesel is more expensive, diesel cars have special tax, diesel cars are more expensive to repair, diesel emissions are more toxic.

[@Mx-Alba]

@@zerodelay1630 Depends on the country, of course. Indeed, in many countries, diesel cars are taxed more. However, diesel fuel is cheaper and diesel cars have better gas mileage, so there's a break-even point above which it's cheaper to operate a diesel car than a petrol one. Why do you think almost all taxis are diesels? Because they're cheaper to operate at the huge mileage they rack up, and last longer. Also, I wasn't talking about toxic emissions, I was talking about CO2 emissions, and diesel cars do have lower CO2 emissions than equivalent petrol cars.

The Mercedes OM606 might be one of the most popular, most recognized Diesel-Engines out there. Tuneable to hell, swappable to almost anything. Massively high-revving, for a Diesel-Engine. From way back in those days, when Mercedes used to massively overbuild everything. Pretty sought-after, nowadays, I presume. Buy a W124 300 TDI (which I know you like) and one of those will be in there. There's also an OM605, which is a 5-cylinder Diesel. Which might even be a little more exotic. You can find those in the W124 250 TDI-Models. There's also non-turbo-ones, those would be in the same cars, the 300D (or 250D for the 5-cylinder OM605), the Mercedes C/E-Class W124 (and some S- , and I think also some of the G-Classes) There's tons of videos out there.

Back in the days General Motors Europe licensed the FIAT/Alfa Romeo diesel engines (JTD) for use in their european brands Opel/Vauxhall and SAAB. Later the Opel engineered 1.6 TD was also available in the USA for the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain IIRC.

My Dad has a BMW M340 Diesel combi all wheel drive. Inline 6, 340 PS and 700 Nm Torque, 4,6 sek from 0 to 100 kp/h also doesnt sound like a diesel. The best thing it only takes 5.8 liter diesel per 100km.😅

[@maxmouse3]

Damn that first VW sounds INSANEEEEEE let’s goooooo

[@ar33p4]

I think that one of the most beautiful diesel engine sound (stock or tuned) for passenger cars is the Alfa Romeo 159's 2.4 JTDm , eargasm.

[@Jockewiie]

Im very glad you liked my w201 with om606 😊

[@petrihakkinen2336]

That list missing om 648 and bkack smoke racing drift car. 850 hp and 1200nm torque. And Finland is saying power made by diesel and brushes wash by petrol

[@Luk4sWorld]

Always great to watch novel reactions to something that is mundane for others like a clash of worlds. Great video! Since you appreciate V12 and Mercs so much, recently videos of old V12 S-Class cars with equal length exhaust headers are popping up. They move like a heavy luxury limousine, but scream like a Pegani Zonda. specifically: a tuner from Japan ("Brilliant Exhaust") is at fault for the recent popularity.

[@mikaelsahl7828]

Please look at black smoke racing Mercedes. Its a drifting Mercedes station wagon from Finland and its insane!

[@burnrubber7547]

I drive a ford mondeo 2.0 tdci. Its a 2005 mk3 and I dont want to sell it or get rid of it. It's so reliable (currently 180k on tbe clock) it pulls like a train all the way to 120 mph. It had more to go! Its 130 bhp and torque is about 240 ft lb or so. I get 600 miles to a £75 full tank. You can break traction in 2nd and 3rd gear in the wet easily lol.

[@malcolmwilson4894]

Man! There used to be diesels racing (and winning) in the British Touring Car Champioship a as far back as 2007 and they were Seats at the end of that era🤣🤣

[@wardvanbeneden7229]

A lot of those engines are common for tuning, the 3L diesel in that X6 was used in the E9x 325d, 330d and 335d, 600hp on stock block and 1000+nm are easely done, although most have to reinforce other things at that point. You can't launch the car or you will break the driveshaft... The 3L diesel from Audi is also a popular choice, with a good exhaust these sound like a diesel supra and they can also make 400-500hp. The OM606 from Mercedes is also +-600hp and it's an older engine. Those diesels can go up to 5500rpm.

[@paulgreen2416]

Had a VW Golf mk4 1.9 GTTDI with a stage 2 map. What a car!!

[@nekite1]

My brother has a 2009 BMW X5 3.0 twin turbo diesel here in the UK which has had a "mild" remap. The damn thing goes like a stabbed rat despite being over 2 tons in weight. Mild remap my arse! The Alfa 159 was a beautiful car which had a 5 cylinder 2.4 diesel which put out 200 bhp with 295 lbs/ft of torque as standard. Very easy to remap them to at least 20% more without any modifications needed. I had a 159 2.0 diesel for nearly 5 years and I must say I still miss that car.

[@mikenygaard8982]

BMW did not make the M57 in 3.5 it was only 3.0 just saying :)

[@hbote2710]

Used to roll coal with my E300 Turbodiesel here in Michigan until rust did us part... OM606.962. I regret not keeping it for the drivetrain and putting that in a S124, S123 or W126 instead. Quick tune from @DieselPumpUK would have been my choice. Got to drive a V10TDI Touareg that was a company car at my employer in Germany back in 2005 and an ML420 CDI as well. Had many BMW 530/535d rental cars in Germany and always liked them. The V10TDI was my favorite of the bunch.

[@johncunningham4820]

OM-606 is called the " 2JZ of Diesels " . 6000 rpm is allowable , though 5500 is recommended . An actual Million Mile potential engine .

[@siouex]

There's a good reason why Alfa Romeo's sound that good, it's 5cyl! Best diesel sound that I ever heard from the stock car was Audi 100 C3 2.5 tdi from 1990, that 5cyl lazy uneven rumble with mountain of torque...it's pure eargasmic experience, you literally have tent in down there while driving😂

[@uroskostic8570]

11min57sec Alfa Romeao 159 2.4 JTD, has an engine that was firstly used in lancia Kappa in 90s as 2.4 TD(turbodiesel) , and SAME engine was also converted as gasoline, 5 cylinder 20 valves. Gasoline engine was displaced as 2.4 and 2.0(same engine), 2.4 was atmo, and 2.0 were versions 146HP, 155HP with variable intake system and 217HP with turbo. I own 155HP . These engines 5 cylinders inline are known as 5.20 .

[@harveybold6981]

I was driving behind a Vauxhall Corsa D 1.3 diesel yesterday, in the UK, which was pumping black smoke out the back, most likely unintentionally 😂

[@LogiForce86]

I saw the boys at the Alfa Romeo specialist garage do a forced regeneration once and the car refused to do it at first, but then so much pressure build up and the amount of coal outside the garage windows. It was instantly night. 😅🤣 I used to own a Lancia Delta HPE and a Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TwinSpark which I brought there.

[@liamkilroy9478]

I had the pleasure of driving one of those 2.4 diesel Alfa Romeos... the torque will rip your arms out 😂

[@kristianoebo]

I’ve got a 1.9 JTD Alfa Romeo GT from 2004. It’s torque, bulletproof, great sounding if you like diesels (as I do) and very economical at eating up motorway miles. Wouldn’t even swap it for V6 Busso if I was offered money for it.

[@LeSarthois]

In the "Cars that get Diesel version" the Chrysler Grand Voyager sold in Europe had, from the second generation onward, a Turbo-Diesel version. And most of them were manual as well :D For engines, European carmakers have shared engines and tech for a long time. At least one of them made it to the US; the PRV V6 engine in several European cars and the De Lorean; well, it's in the name, as PRV stands for Peugeot-Renault-Volvo. I currently own a Citroen C15 minivan, I may make a tour and drive video of it is you are curious. The engine is an atmosphering 4 cylinder 1.7L Diesel engine, sounds like a tractor, and kinda feels like one as well :D I had in the mast a Citroën CX with a 2.5L Diesel engine, this thing drove like a boat. I miss it, but it was way too rusty to be salvageable.

[@Carthage57]

If you are interested in not usual VW group's cars there is actually a Volkswagen Golf with a W12 engine inside, it's pretty funny.

[@tonythedwvyer]

I have a 22 year old Mercedes A170D. It has a 1.7 ltr diesel engine and is a smooth as silk, and it is NOT slow.

[@mihaa.7498]

When you were listening to Touareg's V10 in the first compilation you missed the text at the bottom: it said Touareg managed to pull a 747 which is the record weight pulled by a passenger car, you might want to check that out

[@streetbeast5097]

Fun fact the om606 with some slight tweaking can rev upto 7000 rpm
