Ultimate Street Sleeper - Mercedes W124 'Superturbodiesel'
Discussion
Im a bit dubious of posting this. But i think all petrolheads will be able to appreciate the appeal of this.
The car is a white 1989 W124 E250 D.
It has an OM606 3.0 engine (from a W210 E Class)
6 speed box from a W211 E270 cdi
Sachs racing clutch and custom flywheel
7.5 manual superstroker injection pump from dieselmeken
Borgwarner S300 turbo running 3 bar
3 inch turbo back stainless exhaust
Big radiator and intercooler from an E300 W124
A few pics:
So this car appears 100% bone stock from the outside. Unless you twig the exhaust of course.
Under the bonnet is a bit more revealing..
It is worth mentioning that this engine is bone stock. Unopened. Its been running this power for a year, uses no oil, and has lost no compression. Pretty amazing really!
The car made 562hp and 587 ft lb. That is wheel figures from a hub dyno. Crank figure was 680bhp. It has an 8,000rpm redline, but feels best when changing at around 6 to 6.5.
And yes, it will still do 37mpg if you stay off boost.

Evil, This is the very definition of a sleeper, "old man" Merc and a diesel, just with a quite insane amount of power.
How are you getting a red line of 8K? This is the Vtec yo! of diesels. That is a very, very steep power and torque curve after 4K, it must be entertaining
in the wet.
