om606

@DirtSniffer and I have been talking a lot about different options for the OM606 engine. Power goals, transmission options, transmission controllers, etc. After looking how long our conversations have gotten we figured we should start a thread on this motor since I am sure we aren't the only...

Om606 turbo i picked up with 140k miles in a merc. Its also on an engine stand - already has a brand new DieselPumpUK I.P. imported installed with the 300hp pumps. I think that pump was around $1200ish to import. Motor and pump with a few other items like the Advanced adapter bell...

Considering selling my fj40 om606 swap project, I started piecing this together while everything was shut for Covid and got all the main pieces together and then things got back to normal and I haven’t had time to finish it. It is a mix of a 70 and 68 fj40 body parts with a later 4 speed...

I have a great opportunity for someone wanting to do an om606 swap. I picked up an extra donor car up for the om606 swap I am working on but as I am wrapping it I no longer think I will need it. The engine has about 236k on the clock and runs great. The engine is still in the car and can be run...

SOLD Selling my mostly complete OM606 swap setup - I got the itch for a new project and decided I want more power/gearing/cooling for towing at high altitude than this setup can offer. It's been an amazing engine and I know it'll enjoy many more years in someone else's rig. There's nothing...

Project complete! (as complete as a project ever is) A couple years ago, I completed a 1KZ-TE hilux swap into my 01 Tacoma. I ended up needing to sell that rig, but couldn't stay away from 4x4 Yotas. That's when I found a locked 96 FZJ80 for 3k, cleaned her up, and got the diesel bug...

Greeting's members of MUD. I have been working on an OM606 swap for a little over a year now, most of that time was spent gathering parts and having adapter parts made. I started the actual swap process July 30th 2017 with some minor disassembly on the 28th. I have been chronicling the swap in...

Hello, I have been a long time guest on this forum, Some may say I have been researching the topic before actual thing happened and I purchased car of my dream, 93 fzj80! As you can guess it is equipped with 1fz-fe 4.5 l gas engine, all 3 lockers in place, automatic transmission. I live in...

We found this 1988 Toyota FJ62 on Craigslist located in Chico California. It already had a 5 speed swap done. We had an idea to swap something it there that would be more reliable with some increase in power and torque and lighter in weight. Thoughts of Chevy LS power came to mind. We love...

You may call me crazy or think this down right blasphemous to put a non Toyota diesel in a fj40 but I'm going going to drop a Mercedes om606 turbo diesel in my 40. To my knowledge this has never been completed in a 40 before. All my work on my 40 up to this point can be seen here My fj40...

OM606TD with NV4500/Orion into a 1969ish FJ40 Hi! I've been working on an interesting swap. I haven't documented it thus far becuase my time limited and there is a deadline on the rig being running. However, I wanted to get the bullet points down and post them in case anyone else is pursueing a...
