Just felt like posting a video..  too bad the cam cannot pickup the high freq whistle from the turbo  :?

WTDR doesnt host vids anymore i think

They stopped hosting certain types of files, but this video works.

I got it to work.

Watching it, I can can almost feel the turbo boost kicking in!  Reminds me of my 1.6lTD... lots of power up high in the RPM range, once the turbo gets fully working.  I like the tire chirp on upshift, nice touch.    Curious what the speedometer was reading?

Hmm, not sure, I will have a look tomorrow at what 6K equals in terms of mph.  I am going to try to get a few more videos with a real video camera with better sound.

Glad you liked it

Guess I'm in the dark...what kind of car is that? It sounds like a Benz TD six, is that correct?

Here, I found it...

You guys might have seen this before, but if that is a Benz you have there, or if you are at all interested in performance diesels, this is a MUST SEE.

It's a Benz 190D hopped up to 430 hp.  :twisted:  I guess it was done by some guys in finland. It either has the 2.5L TD 5-cyl or the 3.0L TD six.

Here's the thread: http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforum/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=90035&highlight=430

Yes, that's unavoidable traction loss during acceleration that causes the tach to fly up, not bad shifting.  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

3rd will go to about 85 mph.  More videos to come that were taken today.


About the mercedes, thats a pretty slick car, but in no way at all does that car have 430hp.  If it did, the speed would increase even faster than it already does, AND if it were in MPH, not KPH.  I would love to check out the turbo he is using from the 9L scania truck.  Cool videos

How did you guys get the original video to work?  I cant get it...

Ah, I had to take it down, but I have another.  I will get it back up soon.  Check for my most recent thread in this forum.
