Hello all, as I still not have a car underneath my sorry behind, and the fact that I am really looking into buying a Merc to be a bit different here in The Netherlands. I am wanting to buy a simple W201 190e 1.8 or 2.0.
But the fact is the W201 has some pretty weak engines if you ask me. Or they will cost me a huge amount of insurance a month.
I would love to do a crazy turbo engine swap. I have heard about some SR20DET swaps in the W201 but never really found a solid write-up of it. And as I love that engine this would be a great choice if it is do-able without it standing still for a full year. I can source up a engine pretty easily for a fairly good price but the problem is mounting it in.
Can any of you guys maybe point me in the right direction of how this could be done the best and what I will be needing for it.
Tnx
