Engine conversion w124

[hr22]

I currently have a Mercedes w124 e220. It's inactive due to so many problems collected along the years. I'm trying to find a good workshop to do engine conversion. Planning to fit a 1jz in it as I heard it's powerful and easier to maintain compared to rb25. Will have to consideregister changing the brakes too. Suspension has been changed, currently using bilstein absorbers and eibach springs.

So i'm looking for a good workshop that converts engines and does a beautiful job. Need advise.

He does 1JZs in BMWs, I don't think a Merc would be a problem.

Just want to share with u 1 important info regarding transplaning w124 engine with 1/2jz @ rb20/25 engine.
If u choose Rb engine, u need to use the RB rear axle too to ensure the overall ratio is ngam with the engine power. This will involve a lot modification which require a very skillful mechanic to do it. Overall Merc gear ratio number are higher (than nissan) therefore the final drive (rearaxle) using a smaller ratio number (like 3.2 @ 3.4) to compesate the gearbox high ratio number.

But if u choose 1/2JZ engine, u still can using the Merc rear axle since the toyota gearbox high ratio number quite match with the Merc rear axle.

Rb gearbox × merc axle = a very low overall ratio which will make the 1st gear feels almost like 3rd gear. Dont believe to some moron out there who always think a lower ratio mean lower rpm = fuel saving. To low overall ratio will make your RB running in boost even while cruising at 120kmh on highway.

RB gearbox × RB axle = perfect.

JZ gearbox × merc axle = ngam

P/s: overall ratio = gear ratio × final ratio. (This "overall ratio" is my own term and may be wrong since i not sure the correct term )
