RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

hope the conversion is going to plan..

i would just like to comment on my cabrio since testing it since its return from my mechanic after changing the plungers.


AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never imagined to get this much power from a 460 G. its a blitzen benz !!!

just to give an idea of power increase. when travelling form kyrenia to nicosia up the mountain i used to climb up in 3rd gear with 603 engine at 80 kmh flat out struggle. when i fitted the 606 it would hold 4th gear for a short distant but speed would drop to 50 kmh...

now i am tearing up the pass in 4th and 5th gear at anything between 90- 130 kmh. its unreal !! i cannot stop grinning when i drive it

it demolishes my G300. it cruises in 4th gear at 25kmh and pulls like a train when i put my foot down ! it doesnt need 3rd gear to overtake.... top speed seems to be 160km without much fuss.this is no longer a G that ran out of puff at the slightest incline. i am absolutely chuffed.

i hope to test it off road once the 35's arrive [in a few weeks i am told...]

the G is in the workshop, the rear diff is finished, the front should be ready by wednesday.


i would just like say that this is the ULTIMATE CONVERSION for ALL 460's PLUNGERS ARE A MUST THOUGH, without
changing the old ones out of the 603 you just aint going to see the immense power of the 606.

rgds hus.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

Huss i told you that with the plungers of the 606 you have the power!!!


I have a question about the sprinter's gearbox 711620 that i ll order for my conversion!!That gearbox at sprinter uses dual mass flywheel,but way@out used that :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-SOLID-FLYWHEEL-CLUTCH-KIT-MERCEDES-...

why???does the dual mass flywheel fits at om606?

I'm wondering which is the best flywheel and clutch for my 711620 to hold up nicely 350hp and 60NM????

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

GVP, the reason for me not using the dualmass fly wheel is due to price and longevity. The dualmass flywheels need replacing after a certain amount of miles and the solid flywheel will last forever.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

Yes it fill fit, but you will need to deepen the center. I have made a drawing where the red area will need to be deepened 1mm. The lip on the engine crankshaft seems to be 1mm more than the one on the sprinter.
I had to do this modification to mine.

Legend:
Blue = Flywheel
Black = Crankshaft
Green = Flywheel bolts
Red = Area which needs to be modified, you need to remove 1mm.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

I've got two numbers for engine supports, A6032236104 and A6032236204.
Can anyone with access to the EPC check if these are the ones for the 300TD? If these are for the 606 can you please post an image showing them and there mounts? part number for the mounts would be deeply appreciated.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

I checked against my truck's VIN on EPC

8: A603 223 55 04
14: A602 223 08 04
Other mounts show not valid for this BM.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

Thanks for the reply and the link Mark

Concerning the supports and mounts I only have one doubt left.... Are the brackets welded to the frame in the same place? any thoughts?

Hi Guys,

Just for the village idiot here, can someone kindly explain to me what the 'plungers' are?

Not heard this reference / part before, so are naturally intrigued.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606


My mechanic has fallen ill and has been in and out of the hospital. He's given me the keys to the shop so I can try to get the swap going again. I've got to workout the engine supports. Due to lack of skill to fabricate my own I would like to get the oem engine supports, does anyone know they'll bolt up without cutting and welding?

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

re: mountpoints,

Measure the position of the frame mounting points relative to some other frame landmarks and I'll duplicate the process on my 96.  That should tell you if the factory arms will work on your frame.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

Thanks Alan, will do if needed.

I've probably got the answer here,

http://www.pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.php?tid=9202&pos...


The numbers are a little hard to read (a clearer copy of the 2 pages would be great), but I should be able to measure and compare engine mounts on both.

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

I was under the impression that the right side motor mount (the frame part) was moved for 1996.  PM me an email address and I'll send you the document: "Neuerungen Gelendewagen 1996".

RE: Swaping a 617 for a 606

I found a good russian post of a 605 swap. From the pictures it seems that there was no problem with oem engine mounts.
