Thank you so much for those kind words!

👌

​@@bkorven hi, if you want can put more power? You have bigger turbos?

​@@user-ue8sw5tv4oHi! Yes, more boost with another set of turbos could yield more power. My turbos are the factory ones.

i dont understand what do u min?

@@onevilage888 It revs low because it's a diesel but can accelerate fast thanks to all the torque :)

​@@onevilage888Era piuttosto facile da capire 😂😂😂

Cheers mate!

How much r these in the uk ?

@@randominfo9496 I am not sure i havent checked, here in norway they are very rare i've only seen one for sale at 24k. In sweden ive seen them for between 10-15k

@@abdullahz4804 is this the only Mercedes sedan to have the v8 diesel

@@randominfo9496 Well it is also the E400 cdi but i have heard it's less reliable than this, it's also the S420 cdi that has this certain engine more than that i can't really think of.

It's like the ultimate 'do anything' car :) What are its 0-100 km/h and 100-200 km/h times?

Hello?

@@simonwright6163 Oh, sorry about the late response! Sometimes I'm not getting notifications.Yeah, it's a good all around car! 0-100km/h in ~5.2s, 100-200 km/h in ~ 11,5s.

@@bkorven thanks I was curious as e55 is 10 sec 100-200, that's so impressive!

Waiting until 2030 in the US

Thanks a bunch, that's not a bad score :)

Supercar lol... Not with that gearbox

Sounds like scania v8

⁠@@leon-hx8ozexactly, scanias and 4.0 biturbo diesel v8s from mercedes sound the best diesels and better than most petrols

+Mercedesfan1999 Thank you!

Vincent Borsum Thanks man! Yeah, alot of smoke isn't really desirable.

How much hp can hold the nozzles from 420 cdi? I'm need nozzles for cca 450bhp.

Thank you!

Deleting DPF is kinda illegal, isn't it? Haven't you some problems with police or in diagnostic station?

@@kebabtransports.a.6995 Kind of.. but not really entirely. They havent measured particles before during car inspection, but quite recently started doing so. My car actually passes the test, without the DPF.

om642 easily 300hp and not so heavy as this one

+Luuk de Tatar Thanks!

Thank you!

@@bkorven After 5 years i still have to say, that it's beautiful - and im already missing cars like this due to the stupid electric future, we're heading towards...

@@Vontharau47 Again, thanks! It's nice that you come back and comment after so long. I also think the electrification is a bit boring... We may have lived through the peak time for petrol heads, that I'd personally say was around the decade of 2010, having in mind the M156, the BMW S85 V10, among many other sensational engines. While smaller and more efficient engines is something positive on one hand, big and exotic engines just has another charm about them. Not least in terms of exhaust noise. As you mention, the electrification might take over completely. I hope that synthetic and alternative fuels will be able to save the combustion engine. Speaking of which, Koeniggsegg has an engine (TFG - Tiny Friendly Giant) that is claimed to be able to clean the air in its surroundings, depending on what fuel it is running on. I haven't given up the hope on the internal combustion engine. If nothing else, internal combustion engines may exist in a niche industry with smaller scale manufacturing, for enthusiasts.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! :)

That is indeed a nice SAAB, haha. You're not the first one to notice it. Thanks!

@@bkorven My last car was a Saab 9-3, now driving a Merc w211 :)

@@maik50107 Oh, nice! Wise choice, got to say 😁

Awesome! OM606 with Holset HX52 is some good stuff though!

Not very many knows about it!

@@bkorven shame not many people dig into the V8 Cdi engine, people reach like 600-700hp from om606, i would like to see someone build the hell out of an om629 :) great car and very unique!! much respect!!! :)

@@WymiataczPlays Totally agree that it would be interesting to see someone push the limits with an om629! Thank you!

Thank you, glad you like it. Even though it's diesel :D

Thanks man!

bkorven I love it. I love v8 diesels and this sound awesome. It makes me horny when it purrs and rasp like a monster cat!!!!

karangunyu Zombie Thanks alot, lovely to hear!

+bkorven Hi there! do you know me ?

+Neee35 Hey. Hehe what, yes I remember you.

bkorven Damn that was a long time ago ;) how are you?

Stage 3 tuning would include upgraded turbochargers, so it actually depends on what kind of turbochargers one chooses to go with. ~550bhp and ~1300nm would probably not be too much for the engine to stay reliable, but the drivetrain could be an obstruction, I'm not sure it can sustain without being reinforced, and how extensive work it would mean. To be short, yes, the tires takes serious suffering hehe, but rather the tires taking damage than the drivetrain. Tires are perishable anyhow, but I try to not burn too much.

Salam. Mag ik vragen bij welke garage dit werd gedaan?

Thank you! 😊😘

Yup, very nice👌😂

Many thanks, that warms my heart hearing ;) This should be the same engine(OM629) as found in ML420 CDI, but who knows if the configuration differs in some way. My turbochargers are factory stock, untouched! The problem with finding tuning parts on the aftermarket for these engines lies in the short coming of demand. Very very few people ordered these engines, and even fewer of those who did has ever had any plans in modifying them. This OM629 diesel is not generally considered a selection for performance and driving pleasure, for a couple of different possible reasons. But it's such a brutal and lovely engine in my opinion! I'm not personally looking for an upgrade for my turbochargers now, but if you really want it you can likely get it, in one way or another. The narrow aftermarket makes it more difficult and it takes more effort to get the tuning you're after, but it's most often not impossible.

Mange tak! Javisst, jag har både Kleemann's powerbox, så kallad KD-box, och ECU-mjukvara samtidigt. ECU-mjukvaran jag använder är framtagen av Kleemann själva och anpassad för att kombineras med KD-boxen, så mjukvaran blir en komplettering. Så ja, det går att använda både och, men jag vet inte om det är någon idé att matcha ihop Kleemann's powerbox med någon annans ECU-mjukvara. Jag vet inte exakt hur de har löst det, men KD-boxen är nog ganska simpelt inställd på att ändra en eller två värden i motorstyrningen för exempelvis laddtryck eller bränsle(så att i princip vem som helst kan dra nytta av det). ECU-mjukvaran är antagligen mer invecklad, och för min del stänger den även av funktionsinställningarna för DPF och kopplar ifrån hastighetsspärren.

AppleJuice Yeah that's a pity. Isn't the OM629 avaible in the W221 S-class either? Limit alleged to be 735nm for the transmission, yes, and I don't worry about it at all. The people over at Kleemann never had any concerns about it. I've been told that the limit is a great underestimation. Clearly it is! Thanks alot for your comment!

It is indeed (S 420/450 CDI). A great underestimation - love it! I wonder why M-B fitted the 5G-Tronic to W221 S65...? o_O

AppleJuice I wonder too... maybe they were uncertain themselves of how much the 7G-tronic could sustain. I don't think anyone before has stretched the limits of this gearbox as far as I have, hehe. The M156, found in w211 E63 AMG(7G-tronic), with stage 3 supercharger conversion comes close, but still doesn't reach the same peak torque as this E420 CDI.

Hi! All that was done to reach that power figure was modified exhaust and ECU-tune. With similar mods to the 400 CDI, you can expect 300-320 hp.

Hey! Yes, it's cat-back straight piped. I.e. DPF delete and muffler delete. The cats are still in place, yes!

Omar Intercooler Haha, one badass SAAB

TheD3DOT Hi, thanks. They are 9,5" wide in the rear. I've also had problems with rubbing before. Now, since my rear mudguards are rolled, and I went down from 285mm wide tires to 275mm, the wheels don't rub anymore. So you might need to do the same.

TheD3DOT 255mm in the front by the way(and haven't ever had any problems with rubbing in the front)

bkorven Thnx mate, I also run the 255 in the front, no problems whatsoever ;)

bkorven Thougt so... I still have the original 285 at the back, and a bit too much toe out on the left lol... Time to call my friend/tire man ;)

Thank you! I've had no problems with the drivetrain at all! Have been running with this tune now for roughly 60 000 km, varied driving, and no signs of the drivetrain fading.

Just thinking could OM629 be stroked?some crankshaft from different v8 engine with bigger turbos and make it diesel monster.

Sure it could. You just gotta make it happen yourself, since there's nothing on the aftermarket for this engine. Turbo upgrade shouldn't even be that hard to pull off.

Have to study on those engine specs.A 5 litre turbodiesel on e body would be colossal.

kipi593 It would be indeed!

Jasons Ernests Mazkalnins Yes, that's right, stock turbos. Thanks! :)

It has been working without problems! It is the stock 7G. I won't dismiss what you've heard, but I'll just speak from personal experience. I haven't heard about problems with 7G in 420 CDI powertrains, however in 63 AMG powertrains. I don't think you should need to worry!

+olerobherm1993 .olerobherm1993 I've done absolutely nothing. Stock drivetrain, it holds.

+reda alibrizi Yo Reda! Let's take it over messages.

(PM sent)

0-100 km/h in about 5.3s. Nice, do it!

These were not sold in North America, but you might be able to import one? Don't know, but hopefully you can!

No such luck.

Unfortunately not.

No engine or drivetrain related problems in connection with the tuning. In other words, it has handled the power very well so far!

Thanks! It has a 7-speed gearbox

I'm not so sure anyone of the more well-known representatives on the aftermarket has produced any software for it yet, it usually comes down to demand. But I'm almost certain you could find someone somewhere to remap your ECU for no DPF. So yes, you should be able to do a DPF delete, but it might not be very easy(to find the right ECU-software). But go for it.

Nice. Those 5-cyl engines can sound great with modified exhaust. Also, an exhaust upgrade would result in a slight further increase in power, along with an ECU-tune. I think that could be two mods to look into, to begin with. Cool that it has the manual gearbox!

@@bkorven thank you alot for your help mate!

@@psychomaniac7911 No problems, anytime!

Did you have any problem related to the SBC pump and abc suspension yet?
