It doesn’t really sound that much like either RB or JZ.
But it’s a turbo straight six, so obviously there will be similarities.
not that much but its simillar, and imo it sounds better than any other inline 6 engine
He’s throwing it around like a madman! Gotta be proud of my country :D
well, im kinda having a dream of having a massive turbo on my mercedes (its gonna be 2.4 diesel 190, and yes it has a w123 engine swap, the om616, but ill try to swap an inline 5 diesel) and throw it sideways like this on the streets, no, track!
In that day I was watching him drifting in Riga. It was something new in those days.
i havent been to a drift event in my life, even worse no motorsport event ever, i hope ill get to see the black smoke racing team in croatia
I have a OM605 in my W202 and only thing I can say is that this Diesels are beasts. Somthing really different compared to other Diesels and I love them.
theres something in those older om engines that cacthes many petrolheads hearts, and it surely caught me! i dont know why, i just like diesel engines more than petrol engines
I own an OM603 turbo W124 and I’m in love with this engine, whereas I usually don’t give any credit to diesel engines… But the way these OM60x powerplants behave, sound and are bulletproof makes them desirable !
I believe its an om617 as my w123 had a om617
i think thats incorrect, in a video its been said that they use the om 606 (maybe they use an other engine now), and if it would be an om 617 it would sound different because its an inline 5 (link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGwiSn0Jgy8))
no he did a swap to OM606 and changed pump to manual and turbo/supercharged the hell out of it (compound setup)
(screwed up comment because of the sometimes unresponsive mobile version)
6 cylinder diesels doesn’t sound as bad as 4 cyl, wich sound like tractors. Still, mercedes have much better gasoline engines than that, i see no point on using a diesel.
And probabily now the diesel lovers will try to kill me : D
Torque. :)
When you have an old diesel mercedes but drift is life :D
Every engine sounds slightly different, but the main parameters are RPM, cylinder count and aspiration (T/SC/NA). It’s the reason why all 6 cylinder cars sound fairly similar (open a vid of a BMW inline 6 and a GM/Vauxhall V6 for comparison). It’s also why people know what a v8 ‘sounds like’, even though there’s a huge range of different ones out there! Other stuff like firing order and fuel type also factor in, but generally it’s the number of explosions per second that gives the system accoustics to amplify or filter as nessecary.

Another great vid from that place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd0bOKxyrB4
wow, this is really maaad!
I own a S123 250T Petrol and manual gearbox. I Love It!
