DANGEL Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Thank you, Rabin! My project will get a twintubo / biturbo like that. https://www.turboservice24.de/en/exchange-turbochargers/re-manufactured-twin-turbocharger-for-mercedes-sprinter-w906-viano-vito-w639-2-2-cdi-95-hp-129-hp-150-hp-163-hp_727_1279 It works on an 3.5litre MB ML 320 also. In spring I will go for my XD3TE to france. The BA5/10 gearbox is already sitting in my garage. I will make the exhaust manifold myself. I want to unite both P504. The one is an original Dangel 4X4. It has a separate frame houses the axle and transfer case. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadehilts Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Jens that looks like an awesome project. I bet that bi-turbo will spool lightning fast! Update on my project. I drove the car all the way to Santa Cruz last summer. It was 110 degrees as I was climbing the hills north of SF. For extended periods I was pulling 15 psi of boost. Temp gauge was sitting right before the red, a little hairball but the engine performed beautifully the entire trip from Portland to Santa Cruz and back - aside from a burst coolant hose that I fixed on the side of the road on the way home! Anyways I consider the built to be both reliable and powerful. Going to have to pull the engine to replace the rear main seal (I'm an idiot for not doing this originally haha). I'll do timing chain and piston rings at the point too. I plan to swap out the exhaust back pressure gauge for a simple oil pressure gauge now that everything's verified. EBP gauge is buzzy and annoying under heavy boost, I'd rather know the oil pressure at this point anyways. Also going to see if I can use a 505 Series I tachometer in the 604 cluster while I'm at it. Then I could get a read on how the boost varies with RPM and report back some more data on the dynamics of the turbo. Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEL Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hi Wade, You could get your overheating of the cooling water under control with a high-performance cooler. I had that problem too. The original is a bit too rough Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEL Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I am assuming you have an oil cooler installed! with an opening thermostat. can you check your oil temp while driving? If the oil gets too hot, use a larger one from the accessories and put it in the wind. ... but you know all that for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
