Why would anyone swap a 5.5 into a 43 when the 55 itself is not expensive?

It’s also not very easy to put the supercharger on the non SC engine, I spent a lot of time looking into it… Lorinser makes a kit ($$$$$$$) but it’s a fuckin pain in the ass to do otherwise

Coolest thing I saw though when researching was a c55 with supercharged swap and a manual transmission conversion

Totally, the value is not there.

That said... I prefer the look and ease of swapping.

W202 runs Bosch ME2.0 ECU, so you can do a manual swap without any additional coding or error lights.

M113K and a ZF GS5MT out of a E46 330d all bolts up beautifully into a W202.

I do like the W211 look as well but if I had to mod something having owned one, I'd probably do a 202 just cuz I like the look.

This tune turns a 7G tronic from awful slush box to revmatching and shift like a ZF8; I want to try it.

Did someone say Mercedes swap?

Full disclaimer I have zero clue how swappable those motors are, they just sound great.

Perfect for body swap:

I recall seeing it for sale last year not by this guy, also not so expensive. I recall it was in the teens low enough to be interested in it.

headhunt3r 06-30-2025 10:38 PM

I think I posted the car here early last year. https://www.revscene.net/forums/6947...ml#post9123959

Paging Hobz - probably the closest thing we can get to a LM on this side of the Pacific.

I saw the royal lounges alphards around here. I just gotta be patient and snag the one I want.

This lousy Mercedes is butt ugly.

bcrdukes 07-02-2025 06:03 PM

Oh my. :pokerface:

I have to agree with Badhobz. The Alphard is nicer. The setup looks like a 90s half-assed attempt at Dolby Digital home theatre with a Pioneer laserdisc and karaoke setup somewhere underneath.

Can the dealer legally sell this? Isn't this an aftermarket job with retrofitted seats?

JDMDreams 07-02-2025 07:02 PM

Also you're driving as Amazon delivery van, does it even fit in Aberdeen or PC.

Manic! 07-04-2025 12:08 AM

Way over priced but has to be stupid rare. Saturn wagon that's right hand drive.

How is a right hand drive Saturn wagon not interesting?

^^ it's much smaller than Alphard, I think slightly taller JDM Odyssey size.

Just get an Alphard, the rb odyssey is kinda small, it's more tsx wagon than Van. Doesn't even have sliding doors.

underscore 07-17-2025 08:03 PM

Who wants to pay Ferrari parts prices for their Honda? Just get some normal Brembos.
