OM 613 3.2 CDI swap into 80FZJ

Therefore 5.9 Cummins is outdated in all terms. We are looking to build a beast with strong gear box in future. But it will be a OM904LA engine. It size terms it is relatively smaller, again smoother :) and easily obtainable. Look how smooth 4 banger and seems like you can get these also in US.

 
So, you have managed to operate the om648 as a stand alone unit? Or did you wire all the Mercedes stuff into the patrol? I thought his thread was only for the OM613, I may be interested in the future with the OM648 as a stand alone.

648 is a more complicated, it is Patrol's stock auto and we had to go with two ECU units. One for the engine and second one for transmission. Works fine. Both are standalone units no Mercedes crap wired. :) 648 has more bells and whistles for instance it has lift pump in the fuel tank and etc.

613 is more preferable as it is simpler. The difference in power is not that notable. It is in stage of tests as soon as we get it finalized and furnished it will be available for sale.

Stand alone unit has negative, positive power supply, acc signal, check engine, preheater driver initiator and indicator for lamp and signal for tachometer. Plus ODB II socket for troubleshooting. Again we managed to cut all Mercedes crap out including EGR, particulate filter and etc.
Regarding manual or auto we managed to get manual and auto as well. But manual is not that common for patrol 3.0l :)

RE4R03A transmission, yes all required auxiliaries are in order.
 
OK - finally we have received custom flywheel and adapter plate. Next week we are looking to receive the ECU and start the engine with bolted trans on floor to test how clutch works and check for any vibration, faults, starter performance and etc. Then it will be dropped into the truck.

Good Progress over there, waiting for the price of the final product of the Ecu and how to make the 648 work as stand alone unit
 
Any stand alone Ecu for 613 or 648 would be fine as the power différence is not very marginal and for me i think i can be able to secure any of them

Do you have OM 613s available?
 
What made you decide to retain the 80 transmission?

Do you have any idea what the OM613 weighs?

1. We decided to replace only power plant.
2. Minimum of modifications
3. Torque band starts pretty much with 350NMs @1200 RPMs (see pic) which is comparable with maximum output of 1HD-T and at 1800 RPM reaches max 470 NMs which is a bit more than Toyota's 4.5 TD 1VD-FTV one turbo engine or 4.7 2UZ-FE. Very flat Torque curve up to 2800-3000 RPMs. Which allows to use stock transmission without mods in off road as well as highway use. First stage chipping allows this engine to compete with 5.7 3UR-FE engine :) It should give a big smile on my face, if I do not end up screwing the stock transmission.
4. Enough torque for stock transmission to handle for the engine in stock form.

The weight of OM 613 is 358 kgs, fully buttoned up (all accessories bolted, PS pump, AC compressor, heater fuel filter, alternator and etc) and filled with oil.

The deletion of EGR will give us up about 3-6% of power, which we believe is at the threshold of what the stock transmission will be able to handle.

The another thing we decided to go with modern car's common rail is we did not want sluggish old style mechanical diesel which comparing to 613 in terms of power output will be probably twice heavier. Acceleration, I never seen old style mechanical engine swaps who could accelerate as new modern engines, and most desirable is fuel consumption, the W220 with this engine goes in mixed cycle about 10-11L of diesel per 100KMs. The weight of W220 is comparable with stock Land Cruiser - somewhere about of 2200-2300 KGs. So with extra 300-400 KGs and bigger tires we are looking into 12-14 Ls per 100KMs. Which is our target. After installation we will be working on squeezing the fuel consumption down to mixed cycle to 10-12Ls.

W e will hook it up to cooling system, auxiliaries and then we will get a good video. For this engine it is not really good to run dry. That is why we just start and stop to test the ECU.
 
Hey, can that custom Ecu be made to work with the 4or 5 cylinder engine type of 613 like the 612 or 611
