i really hope that your merc ll become stronger and unique that able to fulfl your hope... back to the 55k conversion, 2.3 compressor (?yr) produce 170-220 hp at most, to push 1.5++ton kg do you really think that it can compete with your friend's JDM? in order for you to race against them (which u really wan to?) u need at least v8 merc n/a engine or in-line six (older & cheaper ) or V6 compressor engine, the best would be v8 compressor from E55 AMG (476bhp stock), but i doubt whether it can be trasplant into your engine bay and the cost..... (should be sky high)

if you look into japan engine, then i believe you will have a lot more comment, cos so many people had done this to their continenetal car.

cheers : )

230k =2300cc + supercharge
B18C= natural aspirated 1800cc + vtec...
so these two engines on par means = LOGIC

yet rideon friend's ride is skyline and supra ( as per his post )
RB26DETT = 2600cc + twin turbo
2JZGTE = 3000cc + twin turbo

If you said 230k manage to compete with rideon friend's ride, and 230k equals to B18C, and now imagine RB26DETT against B18C, who stand more chance to win?

Pls dun feel offended cos i m just stating out the fact...

cheers

wat u guys say it's true...but try cruising from here to kayu hitam(thai border) at 200++ all the way with out stopping...onli stop to top up petrol then hit the trottle again....i don think many jdm cars which are turbo charged with high hp can do that....same goes for my gsr.....cannot tahan long distance cruising.....by the way i m running of 360+ hp on engine on a gsr...so it's considered relatively powerful for me.....so yeah....that's y i opted the 230 red head...petrol saving and still lots of touque to play around with.....i could have had a 2jz or even rb26 but my opinion for a merc is keep the engine original by merc....
just an opinion....cheers bro.

Buy a whole Porsche-built W124 500E, import it in, and swap. Since its going to be a doner car, it doesn't have to be mint, just mechanically sound. Like this example: Booty Call 500E for $7,500

322bhp, 480nM..and no turbo lag. proper V8, Recaro seats, big brakes etc.

You'll have the most pimp Mercedes in Malaysia, out pimping Porsche Panameras if they know their history.
