As far as i can see, the om606 is basically quite a diesel deity..
It can run waste oil (has an m-pump)
It can run stupid power (400bhp is childsplay) on stock internals without even opening the motor
An e-class w210 can be picked up for peanuts
It's m-pump does'nt face the fuel problems with high revs that a ve pump does so swap the valve springs and rev away!
The ghey auto-tragic can be changed out to a stronger manual box - quite a few options avail here, with a suitable merc flywheel machined to suit a 340mm clutch and a e34 sachs pressure plate to handle the absolutely stupid torque levels.
7.5mm elements are around £400 shipped, on the standard electronic pump - don't really required the anal setting up on a special bench as gov is all electronic etc. Should be good for 450bhp with a hx40!
Costwise, A cosworth box is about £200 on ebay, elements £400, holset £200, chopped prop £100?? clutch/pplate £300/400?? Then another £300 for misc/cooler/piping.. Chip - £100? How realistic are my prices?
With my rose tinted specs, it seems a good idea over my dturd but the costs mount up ^ My thought process currently is 400bhp+ ...costs...400bhp...costs... ............powaaaa! So yeah, DISCUSS
