8 seconds is pretty slow. Stock is supposed to be 7.5 seconds.

The troll is back again
Stock is 9
Mine (if you would take time to clock) each time under 7

But I think I am going to put now a 5 cilinder from the 80's in it to get some real performance

get instead a 6cyl 300TD and with that you will have enough power!

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 7.9 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 26.7 sec
Street start, 5-60 mph: 9.0 sec
Standing ,¼-mile: 16.2 sec @ 83 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 111 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 195 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad*: 0.77 g

Performance
This V6 CRD (common-rail diesel) engine provides 215 hp and 376 pound-feet of torque that's fully available at a superlow 1,600 rpm. In testing, we found this was enough to launch our four-wheel-drive Grand Cherokee Limited from zero to 60 mph in a surprisingly fleet 7.8 seconds. Midrange passing maneuvers were a breeze until about 65 mph, when the acceleration began to wane. The EPA estimates mileage at 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, and we averaged 19.3 mpg over about 900 miles of driving. For those interested in towing, the diesel with its 7,400-pound towing capacity (about that of a gasoline V8) might be just the thing for pulling a horse trailer or camper.

In other words, your CRD still has stock performance.

Zedd,

It's well known that C&D gets the most optimistic numbers of all car mags. The only people that rely on those numbers are children who never get to drive the cars and well.. you.

Amanda,
So, you're saying EVERY SINGLE OTHER source is incorrect as well, and ALL are getting "optimistic numbers" as well?

Then please post a source that you believe DOES have correct information.

The only people that rely on those numbers are children who never get to drive the cars and well.. you.
You are sad and pathetic, you don't have anything to back up your claim? Is childish names all you're capable of producing here? No information at all? Really? Aw, too bad.

Only two things come to mind when taking your actions into consideration:

1) You're just a guy who likes to troll and rile people up by taking contrarian viewpoints that you can't possibly back

2) You're just an insignificant ******* who can't admit that he's wrong, so you continue to be wrong and pound sand. You have nothing going on in your life so winning message board arguments (in your mind) is the only thing making you happy.

If it were number 1, you'd eventually get your kicks and move on, but it must be number 2, because you've repeated this behavior at car forums all across the internet. Unless you're really a glutton for punishment, you wouldn't bother with the numerous aliases after your first banning.

I feel sorry for you, and I feel as though your attitude and stubbornness do not bode well for your future happiness.

Trolls like you are not considered "human". If it weren't for people such as yourself that do nothing but cause pointless conflict there would be no problems on public forums.

You fit your own description to a T. So sad.

Still waiting for you to show me sources that consistently show slower 0-60 times. Any time now. Any further posts from you to me in this thread will only prove you are your own "1".

Aww, are someone's feelings hurt? Quit being such a consistent jackass and perhaps others will do the same.

If you don't have usefull information to post on OM642 tuning please do not post. You are ruining a perfectly good thread. Anyone have any useful updates to add? I am waiting to install my Devil's Own Methanol Injection setup.

Not sure how the rules go here but if the flaming doesn't stop, I'll ask a mod to close the thread.


Speaking of 0-60 times.... I've been able to pull a 6.38-ish with the Brabus unit. If anyone has a good tuning solution (write-out the DPF and regen, turn off EGR and boost fuel) that is available stateside I'd gladly listen.

From what I've learned over time, the bigger issue is the torque management within the TCM. Regardless of how the engine is tuned, the trans will step in and stop the fun. --Anyone have their own insights on this perspective?

Hey Rob

6.38 is pretty impressive! Also, the Jeeps with the OM642 use the Mercedes built WA580 5 speed transmission so I'm curious, what vehicle/transmission do you have?

I found malonetuning.com and have contacted them for help, they seem able to help just very very slow to communicate. They will do custom software, but they are not sure about the transmission. They have files for DPF delete and other tricks but not a ton of Mercedes stuff, mostly VW and some neat tricks for them too.

I have now already 30.000 km with my 2260 turbo upgrade, dpf delete, egr delete, cat delete.
Haven't had any time to dyno but I am putting enough diesel in to have around 320HP.
Gearbox is holding great and I have seen more then 700nm on the ODB scantool when in gearbox mode.

I just can't find the dpf delete in the ECM16
Right now it's not regenerating because off unhooked MAF but it lights the CEL...

The tech name for the trans is W5J400. From what I've read it's the same box, just a different torque rating (400 vs 580). Which doesn't make a ton of practical sense, but neither do the 3.73 gears.

That's great! I still have my cats and egr. Would love to have more power of course.

No, It's the same as the 580 box, 400 is in ft/lb not nm ...

Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD
I have 07 Jeep WK CRD and I have a Custom Spooling Tune with dpf and egr delete. My transmission is still going strong. I have run a best 0-60 @ 6.1s and 1/4mile at 14.6@91 mph. I have made some tweeks since then and added methanol injection. I am sure its faster now, just need to get out and get some runs in before winter. I can really feel the methanol injection when it kicks in. You can check out some of my mods in my Jeep Forum thread, just google "OM642 Performance Mod". I am at the limit of my tuning at the moment. I am trying to get a bigger turbo and change the tune. Also looking to find a 4 bar map sensor that is more plug and play with the proper tuning required to change the tables.

You can buy a 3BAR MAP sensor from Mercedes (plug & play I think) and it's enought

PS: sorry for posting, but I then I reallized that we are talking of OM642 that allready have the 3BAR sensor! LOL

Did you reset the DPF values with the jeep (or Mercedes) diag system?

I had to do that before I upload the new ECU software, because the values are on the EPROM or something like that and the new software won't erase it. After I reseted it with DAS diag system and upload the ECU upgrade the DPF was really OFF.

PS: I only need to turn off the EGR!

c320 cdi
Hi guys also in Melbourne, i drive a w204 c320 cdi that peter at Evolve has tuned. What a difference pulls like a train, 600nm of torque and 0-100 in 5.9 sec. Not bad for a v6 diesel.Will put pictures up soon.

Cheers Nick

No, we took the DPF map out

Hi, so I finaly found a place where we can dyno without having any work done to the car.

It was not us but an employee from the place who was doing the pulls.

Out of 8 - 9 pulls we only had 4 good ones.

ESP was fully switched off.

First & 2nd pull, my tune wich I drive now for 30.000 km

Only in the first pull he could give full throttle without downshifting.
The computerscreen was calibrated till 210KW and it flat spotted from 3200 to 4200 rpm, so this would have been the best pull but I don't have a print out.

2nd pull was 205KW/3473RPM & 670NM/2541RPM (second page highest line)

Just a little haze out of the exhaust

Now we loaded standard map, no DPF, no cat (First page)
3th pull was 163KW/3811RPM & 429NM/2919RPM

Now I thought let's make a dyno queen so we added 10% more fuel

4th pull was 200KW/3568RPM & 665NM/2486RPM

Lots of smoke

This is where I was shure that the guy behind the wheel wasn't pushing full throttle.

Anyone know how we can avoid the downshifting?

In Mercedes cars we enter Dyno mode and the ESP doesn't interfer.
About the downshifts you have to know the rpm you can floor it without shifting, it's the only way on the 5g tronic!

if you floor in 5th at 2800 it downshifts even without hitting the kickdown
