Conversion to OM603 turbo
 

I've broken my d24 engine in my Volvo 245, but has obtained a om603 turbo which I'll try to insert ..
but has not quite decided if I should keep the original automatic transmission or cut clutch coat to weld to customize a Volvo gearbox

Maybye it needs only new head gaskets..

What did you find out? Was the D24 busted or something less major?

I know im not contributing with anything productive with this repply but why going for the OM 603? The OM 606 is a far better option.

I have cracked gaskets and some pieces from the piston..

I allredy have 2 cars that have broken down but the engine is still running strong

How did the piston crack? Can you post a picture or two?

Someting have come in the cylinder and out exhaust so the pieces was laying in the exhaust manifoil

Some that have done swap alredy
