1990 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.6 Sportline

Well that makes it decision made, XR6T motor. Lots of parts, lots of power, decent manual gearbox. Now will it fit...

No chance. I've measured

[bahaimus]

honestly, i think its a retarded idea clayto.

Maybe this simply isnt meant to be.

You talked about being on a budget etc - might be time to cut your loses.

No spare parts, not knowledge, no gearbox / clutch options. Your back to where you were with that Merc engine.

dude you're a lost cause.

seriously just buy psi999's sr20det + manual setup.

will be easy to install and relatively quick.

v12 is just being Cracka silly.

V12 would be a shit idea Clayton.

well documented that century's (thus Toyota V12's) do head gaskets - fuck that.

VQ30/35?

Even I think the V12 idea is a crap one.

I'm pretty sure his SR20 package is already gone.

But an SR20 in this would be good I rekon.
You don't have to keep up with the internet cred of the cracka and Az show mang...

or a complete 350z engine and box for NA bark.

or go against the grain and get an RB26. I'm told it can neva loose!

If you're not going to put the merc in the shredder, which would be my first preference even if I owned it myself, then 1/2JZ wins.
don't try to be different, go with what works.

What about VK45 TT, couldn't Al source one locally?

Just go with whatever engine is easiest to hide from your wife.

2j - cheap, fits, works, makes power, 100000000000000000000000000 aftermarket bits for it, Al knows them.

If a LS1 cant fit, it really is the next logical option

Been sitting here quietly reading your replies and considering my options. I really am second guessing this option now, you all make a lot of sense.

Put an SR20 in it? Are you fucking serious? You cunts are all fucked in the head.

Then I went and had a nice chicken curry for lunch which cleared my sinuses a bit (I'm starting to get a bit of a head cold see) and allowed me to think a bit clearer and I realise I agree with this guy. Fuck you cunts, I'm buying a V12 and none of you will get a go in it. :D

What about 1GRFE and turbo it? 60 degree config, locally available.

Why? Why not 1GZ-FE.

[Gammaboy]

Parts availability?

Maybe you shouldn't have broken the lease on that other place just yet .....

[bahaimus]

Parts availability?

It won't break.

My wife has full visibility these days.

so does Cam's, and he's not allowed out of the house at all.

[bahaimus]

Hahaha, but I was never balls deep in some dirty slurry behind my wife's back.........

[TT]

at least wait till cracks v12 lib is done.
then, 7 minutes later when he breaks it, Al can start taking it out, and test fitting it in to yours....

THEN order one.

[myliberty]

TTurbov12?

it's a proven combo*


*fits in a liberty so must be good.

PS. you're mad.

[tim510]

ok so you want a v12.

What clutch / gearbox etc?

another $2k raceclutch setup?

[Cal]

honestly, i think its a retarded idea clayto.

This man, he knows.

[I'm DJ!]

Farhken do it!! TT FTW. Mercs were meant to be v12 TT.
