I am currently converting my 24ft fourwinns liberator, the 8.2ltr big block was junk and I am building an om606. I have made the conversion plate to fit the OMC bell housing, the flywheel is made and I am hakfway through the watercooled exhaust 🙂

I have been thinking of this exact same style swap setup and I'm glad to see it work out so well! I bet this engine would run great for a big heavy cabin cruiser like that and mileage would prolly double if not more than that!!!! Awesome to see you guys get it done and very clean looking! Keep up the good work guys and thank you for the inspiration!!!!!

Yes. Please. Some real numbers. Like fuel consumption what rpm cruising. What size prop. Etc. i have an 2001 OM 613 CDI straight 6 cyl. Same as the 606 but with common rail. I found and bought a stand alone ECU in Europe. Made for this particular engine . Its a plug and play setup. Uses the factory engine harness. I can tune it upwards of 350hp.wirh the stock engine internals. The idea is to put it in a boat and get rid of that big boat anchor 1185 lbs Mercruiser vs 585 lbs OM613. Thanks.

Wow great design one thing I’d do abit different is have the exhaust coming out of the turbo point up and then drop down and have the water mix at the bottom of the dip almost all marine diesel do something similar to stop water from back flowing into your exhaust turbo or cylinder but regardless sweet build tho love the boat

Nice! Most guys here just put in the Volvo Penta diesel with it's outdrive and everything. Most common is the D4, 3.7 litre 4 cylinder, Starts at 150hp and goes all the way up to 320hp. Super light on diesel. The 5.5 litre 6 cylinder can do 480hp.

OM-606 Diesels are legendary, especially when fitted to burn-out 🔥 monsters like W-201 190-D or W-124...and now on a boat...epic. Can your 606 boat do burnouts? 🤣 Am sure the water cooled charge air intercooler will provide denser air = more boost = more power baby!

Hey man, sick video and great conversion! 😍 I‘m thinking off a similar conversion to a sea ray srv 220 cc. Did you encounter any issues with the stern drive? My potential boat has a alpha one gen 1, thus I’m a bit afraid of braiking it with the om606‘s tourqe? And how much money did you spend on the cooling? I’m not sure if I should go for an water cooled exhaust manifold including a heat exchanger or if I should get a separate exchanger or both. Best, Leo :)

@KacperR78 ай бұрын
Thank you Engine is fully stock internally, that's also another reason we aren't pushing it past 300hp. As it would put way too much unnecessary stress, on the engine and outdrive. They are known to be pretty reliable around 450hp in cars, but being in a boat with full load all the time, I don't think it would last.
@guido05828 ай бұрын
@KacperR7 it's quite the opposite. Diesels are designed to "work' under load so being in a boat under constant load is perfect. Great job

@@KacperR7 In industrial applications diesels are often running at full tilt 24/7. Because you have less rpm variations, the stress, wear and tear is less. But it is smart to not push it too much, which does not seem to be neccessary anyway.

Beautiful work🤩 I am dreaming of taking on a similiar project one day. As you are using alpha are you shutting off the engine before you shift it in gear and then start the engine in gear? Here on KZbin you can see another OM606 marine engine from Jari Kåhlman who implemented a system to make the engine shut off for a split second during shifting in order to protect the outdrive. To my understanding similiar system is implemented from factory to mercruiser engine + alpha outdrive systems which is called mercruiser shift switch. Bravos don't have this feature from factory as they are more sturdy. In case you knew all this and shift the alpha when engine is running, you are not worried about it breaking or you don't think it will break?
@KacperR78 ай бұрын
Thank you! Currently not doing anything to prevent damage while shifting into gear. As the idle rpm's are fairly low, it doesn't give that big of a "clunk" when shifting into gear, feels similar to when the merc engine was in. But certainly something we thought about! The mercruiser switch could be implemented, onto the solenoid that is used for switching off the engine, just running the signal for a split second to further drop RPM, and we might play around with that this summer!

If you run the engine for more than 5 seconds at full power at a time, the engine will break down. That engine is not intended for 200hp load for minutes. It lasts best when you always drive at less than 100 hp, and you drive at most half of the maximum rpm. So no bigger turbos, and it would almost have been good if you hadn't repaired the supercharger hose...!
