Right, I can't help myself.

The new OM642 W203 is going to get some performance stuff, because why not? Also, if driven carefully it should not make it any less fuel efficient. Lovely.

Watch my madness along with me:

No AMG badge on it just yet, in fact, I may badge it C220 CDI :p

Hey Alex this is great.

I have been watching the Youtube videos and came on here to see if there was a build thread. Looking forward to the progress.

This reminds me that I wanted to get the 212 down to you for that tuning we talked about just as covid hit, I’ll let you practice on yours first then you can go a little further with mine ;)

Yeah, we don't touch DPF's or Cats, it will limit the power due to backpressure

At least +20bhp with the below…;):eek:

A bit of sad geekery… not many people know there was an official AMG diesel 203 - the C30 CDI which had a bored out om612! This creation might well be more powerful!

Watching with interest!

I have now dynoed the car (stock apart from the IC).

What power level do we think we are at?

(its a 224bhp Om642)

Isn't it the talk of the torque that's more interesting on an oil burner?
