May the force be with you lol. Well if your going to run that motor don't forget to upgrade the turbo and injectors, Get a PFC or some kinda EMS to tune the car. I'm not sure how heavy your car is going to be. If it's one of those big ones you might want to get a RB25 or something. The RB20 in a 240 isn't too bad because the car isn't heavy to start with.

a mercede's? lol what year man? a big turbo will get you 12's i dont know about 11's depends on the weight of the car, dont forget an excellent tune if you want around 350-400whp.. anything much greater than 400 you might want to consider some internals... oh yea dont forget the slicks.

have fun with custom motor mounts, a re wire job, transmission mount, driveshaft, and hoping the shifter lines up.

other than that! your ready to rock out!

I was going to do the same in a Benz 190 ... they are pretty light and peppy ... the motor has limits ... my friend in thailand has an rb20 and a 1jz in a benzy ... lol ... its fast to ... he said its almost as easy to drift as a 240 ... he said its like a lighter cefiro ... the short wheelbase make it easy to toss around. The conversion should go smooth ... I can find out what he did for the subframe. He may have used r32 ...

I had a 190 they feel lighter than they are, but they arent light though lolHandle very well for its weight, I liked it other than the fact the Auto trans went, and it had Electrical problems.When you hit the horn the lights and wipers would go out. lol And the car would shut off by itself just cruising on the highway too.

Im from malaysia....

hmmm........when i got my front clip....i just fitted in the engine with the gearbox...

others are still the standard mercedes benz....

except for the clutch pump....the clutch pedal is still the standard mercedes benz pedal but the gearbox pump is from the Skyline...

with this setup...the clutch pedal is really hard although using the standard clutch...(just like using a racing clutch)

im planning to fit the Mercedes benz pump at the gearbox side... to get the soft clutch "feel" back....

one more thing....my benz is fitted in with the skyline rear differential but still using the standard mercedes frame......with a tomei 2way LSD.........with a customized driveshaft.........

thats all i guess...

Its a weird idea, but hey sounds kinda cool. I'd be surprised if I saw an RB in a MB.
