500bhp DPUK Mechanical Diesel OM606 or 177bhp EDC??

I’m sick of sensors failing and telling the computer to go limp mode. Less electronics the better. Well done 👍

[billstrasburg]

I actually wanted a younger version of Salma Hayek for Christmas, but that is indeed an awesome engine. Well done.

You had me at fully mechanical. Young lads like you give me hope that maybe we’re not doomed

This is why in the States the Cummings 5.9 litre12 valve engines have become so popular. The only electrical component other than the alternator is the solenoid valve to cut off the fuel. Really inline six cylinder engines are the way to go. Petrol or diesel.

Anyone who concerts electronic to mechanical pump has my appreciation, nice work.

[jaydenspick]

This man single handedly made me wanna get one of these engines and is going to drive the prices up like crazy

Back in the mid-90s, I had a Vauxhall Cavalier with the 1.7 Isuzi diesel engine that had a mechanical injector pump - it would easily do 52MPG without trying and was bullet-proof, it never let me down and I drove it hard (it was a work car) for tens of thousands of miles. Would love my modern car to have that engine in it!

Thats is superb. The brake pipe expertly bent was a touch of class. I miss working with people like you. Nowadays what I see workmanship wise, or lack thereof, would depress you.

[davidpujol]

Exellent! I love the sound of the OM606!

[markoverton]

This is where we should be looking going back to good old days reliable machines, 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️

[keeganholland]

I’m glad it’s got rods and valve springs. Wouldn’t run without them

[marklatimer]

I spent 50 years in the electronics and Software design industry and I fully agree with him - Lose the Electronics and never ever have something with Software in it - It's just more expensive sh1t to go wrong.

[soundseeker]

Now I REALLY want to see and hear that engine at full chat.
The OM606 is the 2JZ of the diesel world.

[peterlee]

This is what you want for Christmas.. love it. Good for you fella. 👊

[sambentham]

I have a ‘95 410d, 5 cylinder Merc, non-turbo, makes about 80hp, but doesn’t ever stop. Also have a Suzuki DR 650 single. Both will run on chippy oil and good wishes!

The guy who installed a computer in the modern car {Circa 1976} was a genius, he likely grew old a Private Island in the Caribbean paid for by the Big -3. Consumers should have found that guy and bought him a 1-way ticket to the moon, because he screwed car buyers for LIFE!

[davebutler]

That's a beauty.
I'm and electronics technician, but i love the idea of making electronics superfluous on engines!
Good work lads!!!

[dubbified]

Niiice.

That intake is money. Real clean man.

[Robdutton]

Sadly Santa never came through with mine

[timcarpenter]

We need more analogue vehicles that last
