This is sick. I drive my w126 300sd to work and back 110 miles and love coming home at midnight with the sunroof down at 3000 rpm with the turbo whistling. He221 is definitely going with the alda delete already done

[@tightwadtv3421]

My Wrangler with the same motor used to struggle to get to 65 mph with 32" tires and 4.10 gears. Your injection pump and turbo really made the difference.👍👍

[@Ajme-kb4os]

I just bought the 7cm turbo and gonna do the pump in the spring. I’m on 41s . As long as i can do 20mph I’m fine. Have 5.29 gears. Yours get up and go now?

[@divadyrdnal]

To be honest, with the original stock engine it was not (and not meant to be) a rocket ship. Solid engine swap!

[@ThreeDPrintDesigns]

It sounds absolutely incredible...

[@roadmasterk6019]

Very impressive, this upload... Looks faster than the the early Rabbit diesel I had🙃 Sounds 👌

[@johnparrish9215]

Looks good to me. I know the engines are stupid reliable, I've been running one on a generator since 1996.

[@blucheer8743]

Pretty awesome actually

[@alexanderlewis8351]

That's QUICK for a 617. Nice job. Figuring my own swap into a small truck chassis

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

There's no way I'd ever use this engine again.

[@cooncrib00]

@@TheDrivewayEngineerWhy wouldn’t you use it again? Next time gonna use a TDI?

[@azroadposer]

Looks like about 8s to 60, not terrible. Might need to get the tires wet for burnouts. The toy is really coming along:)

[@BDauto86]

I agree not a rocketship but not terrible. The reality is it's an off-road capable vehicle on 32s, I think it will creep around trails just fine so mission accomplished.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Yeah, I mean, it's pretty good lol, there's worse vehicles out there, like my old 6.2 K5

[@narcissistinjurygiver2932]

congratulations on getting it done. I have one of these engines just sitting in my garage.

Love the OM617 content, keep it up! I’ve got a 616 swapped Jeep WJ that will hopefully be getting a 617 this winter.

My brother has 2 WJ's I'm just waiting on him to give up on lol

[@Coatchawa]

Trade you a good 617 for your 616 🤷‍♂️

[@GeomancerHT]

I find this really crazy, here in Argentina we have some Mercedes Benz 240GD/300GD lovers and collectors, and many times when the OM617 is really tired out, my father's is +3 million miles as of now, they swap the engines for Toyota's Cheers!

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Lol, that's irony

[@josephschneider1198]

Hows it running a year later? Looking at doing this exact upgrade to my resto/mod. Worried about high egt's and decreasing my reliability. Thoughts?

[@davebarron5939]

Don't know why you would want to go any faster in a rig like that. Seems more than adequate.

[@CraftwerksMC]

Seems like it's still faster than the stock 22r it came with.

[@NightWrencher]

Listen to that r150 purr

[@meyep3386]

Awesome swap man ! What transmission did you use for the swap ?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

It's a stock Toyota trans

[@TheRowdyJ]

nice! what nozzles are you using? i have the same setup but the 7cm2 he221 and i bought #265 firad. i am about to start building it all for a jeep. just curious as to performance.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I haven't done anything with the injectors, they're unknown mileage Bosch remans.

[@seanhenderson2079]

Better than any 3.4 swap 😂

[@narcissistinjurygiver2932]

the 617 runs really good on used atf if you can collect some.

[@ebenpost3255]

I feel like it might run on nearly anything lol

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

That's pretty much it, it'll run on anything

[@pavelborisik174]

It sounds like popcorn

[@AlfonsLC]

For some reason you havent been showing up in my feed. Checked your channel. Still subbed. No clue. Either way. That thing sounds fucking great. Those are really some big money upgrades. How silly would we be dragging two 3.0 diesels in 4x4’s trying to compare stock 617.95 to 617A hopped up. It would be interesting to see how much those upgrades bought ya. I was also happily surprised with my power. Not a small block chev. But sounds better. Again subjective.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Lol, that would be a good time, nice slow race 🤣 I have some more adjustments to make, and the turbo is capable of a fair bit more boost than I'm seeing, so we'll see how far it goes here in a few weeks when I take it back off and adjust the wastegate

[@AlfonsLC]

@@TheDrivewayEngineer ill keep watching (-:

[@Ajme-kb4os]

I watched your swap and it’s what made me swap my 4Runner! I just bought he221 7cm turbo and gonna upgrade the pump. It doesn’t push my 41s too well even with 5.29 gears. Honestly for 2 grand in upgrades to get over double the power is worth it.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

@@Ajme-kb4os idk that it would ever spin 41's well, it doesn't have any power until the turbo lights

[@Ajme-kb4os]

@The Driveway Engineer oh yeah for sure. Im hoping with the bigger elements in the pump I’ll be able to at least drive up an incline decent. I put around real slow .

[@rogieru8796]

Make that OM617 sing brother, I put one in my 1985 4Runner .check mine out!

[@nartech_la5125]

Is there any reason for not going with the om602 turbo or 603?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Yeah, the adapter plate exists for this and it almost sort of fits. Anything larger never ever will. Also this engine has been in the scrap yard for months now anyway.

[@The5for1]

Edited to 6 minutes and 17 seconds. Nice.

[@Theofficialcope]

What did you do for the brakes to work? I have a 89 Jeep my Comanche and I have the om617 pared to the Jeep trans in the truck I’m waiting on steering components rn and I have to get power steering lines made but the thing that I keep thinking about is how to make the brakes work being diesel

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

The power assist is vacuum on my Toyota, the engine has a vacuum pump, or you cn delete it and use an electric pump like I did.

[@Toyotamudbogs85toyotapickup]

What type of electric vacuum pump did you use

[@TheRealLifeNPC]

You should convert it to a hydrobraking setup like on other diesels. Funny enough, I have an 89 Manche and am doing the brake hydroboost conversion on my 85 chevy k20 since the brake vacuum booster (Round Cylindrical shaped object in engine bay) went out. Basically you get better, more responsive brakes using the hydroboost and if you're already replacing the booster or lines then it makes it almost a no brainer which is why I'm still in the middle of working on that Chevy since the brakes went out😆

[@yotamonster]

What is the fuel mileage like with the swap. I've got the 3.slow so anything has to be better.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

About 26 mpg so far, I don't drive it a lot honestly, not my daily or anything

[@bryanbaker1479]

I just scored a 602 for my 94 4Runner and ended up importing a 605 instead... Stay tuned

thats a whole different critter there. those look to be fun. ive seen dieselmeken or dieselpumpuk turn like 650bhp on stock internals with the 606. monsters! trans breakers..

[@frogpit]

@@TheRowdyJ yea thats the main issue it seems. unless you run a NV4500 i was thinking a 4L80 with manual valve body. worst case. the CD009 holds power pretty well for a RWD only option. its all just $ though.

She’s got mud tires it’s not ment to be a speed demon. You’ve got other trucks to make fast. They can’t all be quicker than the average truck.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Who said anything about making it fast lol. Fast and reasonable to drive down a freeway are not the same thing. When looking at spending thousands of dollars to swap an engine, people want to know how it performs.

[@ElijahDecker]

~8 seconds 0 to 60 is perfectly respectable for an off roader. Plenty of people daily slower cars.
