Since there is no other section dedicated to mercedes engines it it seems like we need a thread here to discuss swaps of the later mercedes mechanical diesels which are commonly swapped.
I'll run the figures for 120cc probably tomorrow if I get the time. The HE221 for compound is 7cm. I had an enquiry out with Alcaid and he said options currently are 5.5cm or 7cm.175cc is the max my pump will do.
Honestly in terms of power levels, the figures for the he221 alone look very nice. 300hp and tons of torque at 2000rpm scoots around town nicely. But conceptually I have been into this compound idea for awhile and the truck I just sold had 500hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque, and it was great, so it would be nice to build the compound and then just defuel it a bit with the throttle stop for every day.
In terms of driveline, I am prepared to rebuild the slushbox, but in reality it is pretty fresh and the tires will not put all that torque down anyway.
A couple of basic questions:
1. What does this compound setup do at lower fueling levels? Say 120cc? Does it basically become a single?
2. Would you use the 6cm he221 housing for the compound setup also? Or a larger housing?
Thanks.
HX40 super? What is this sorcery?If you wanted a little more air flow, you can aways get a super hx40, I think they flow 74 lbs/min.
Same size wheel but billet, it's not going to be a significant improvement. I'm quite leary about wheels with reduced hub diameters. Gain some small increase in flow area, lose a big amount of wheel strength.
HX40 B85 map goes to 66 lb/min. It can be found in the book "real world high performance turbocharger systems" on page 72. It doesn't have efficiency islands though, just outline and rpm lines.I guess this would be the regular hx40 compressor map: http://www.dsmtuners.com/attachments/hx40-7blades-1-jpg.96178/
The hx40 super turbine is supposed to be a bit higher flow also. Not sure if that matters or would be desirable. Or what housing would be best on the 40; as a single they tend to like 16 or 17cm for the 606.
