Hi everybody,

My first post, thought hell why not a good one.

I am not new to Jeep / Chrysler. For several years I was an indepandent product trainer here in Belgium.
Also I have had a 300C CRD SRT design on wich I putted 230.000 km in nearly 3 years.

I purchased 2 weeks ago a Black Grand Cherokee S-Limited from 2007 with 130,000 km

Now, I always loved the GCSRT8 , but here in Belgium it's just not realistic to drive more than 80,000 km a year on petrol....

So I decided to build myself a real SRT - Diesel.

What do I mean with "real"

Well I purchased :
- Brand new GCSRT8 front seats, those were my first mod (came from a left hand drive car so I have now L and R height adjustable seats)
- Front & back Brembo's with discs
- Front & back SRT8 bumpers & side skirts
- Front & back springs & dampers (original SRT8)
- Complete SRT8 exhaust system (this is a real challange as I have a hitch & don't want to loose it)
I still need the rear sway bar, but I am going to install first all this...

So far for the body mods. But with looks like SRT8 I need a little more oumpf if you now what I mean.

I think that the OM642, the V6 320 cdi mercedes engine is a great engine... , with huge power potential (they presented in 05 or 06 a 320SLK diesel with a tripple turbo concept pushing 285HP & more then 700nm)

Problem with this engine is the tiny wheeny supercharger from garrett the 2056 and no matter what people think or tuning box guys say, to get more then 260 HP out off this charger is not possible.

Due to the fact that the turbocharger is installed in the V of the engine, it's very hard to upgrade the turbocharger....

UNTILL NOW :) :)

Mercedes has made a new 350cdi engine with standard from the factory 265 HP and they do this with a new turbo from garrett the GTB2260VKLR.
Water cooled ball bearing & able to make 330 HP

Guess what I recieved in the mail today :) :)

And let's see what DPF removal, EGR blocking, GTB2260VKLR, SRT8 exhaust & a tuner with experience will get out off this diesel...

More pics will follow :thumbsup:

I have that MBRP system on my keep and have not noticed a difference other then sound, when you stomp on the pedel. I'm glad I didn't pay the $1000 plus price tag that comes with it. As I got the last 309 series system MBRP Canada had so I got it for $250. Plus when I went to put it on, and got it all done etc it was not fitting right, so I took it to an exhaust shop and they had to remove a good 3-4" off to get it to fit right. It's a great system but as I said I was expecting more then I got.

It's not exactly plug & play ...

Turbo mount is different

New vs old, new turbo mount has a hole for the watercooling




Water outlet in the turbo



Plugged the bottem water feed an tapped a new one in the turbo mount



Tapped into the block to feed water to the turbo



Blocked the EGR & It fits :

Well, it's in & running :


First impression, without the DPF, Cat & resonator it moans a little rougher, also inside.


It started right up but trowed alot of codes, going into limp & engine check light because of the dpf not seeing any difference in pressure. So we fool the computer.

EGR delete is done, without deleting this the turbo makes no boost.

We start to understand the bosch EDC16 better.

My tuner found the boost, rail pressure & torque limiters.

When driving max torque we saw on the computer was 490nm.

Current tuning is very mild, more coming !

Would like to see you do something with that air box. Nice job though.
