Hay guys thought I would start a thread on my build for anyone that is interested.

This is the first rotary I have ever owed and worked on and I only just brought it about 2 weeks ago now. So the hole thing will be a learning curve for me.

The car is a 1985 190e Mercedes. It was originally a 4cly auto and has now got a series 5 13b turbo with the Mazda 5 speed. It still needs work to get it up to the standard that I like.

Here is a list of what has been done so far buy the previous owner

• Engine swap
• Modified tail shaft ( Mazda front half with merc rear half)
• New LSD
• Microtech LT10-S
• Twin plate clutch
• Exhaust
• Blisten shocks lowered springs
• AMG Mercedes wheels
• Boss kit and sports steering wheel
• Boost controller (Greddy profec b)
• Intercooler
• Bosch 044 fuel pump

That is all I can think of at the moment

My plan is to try and get 400rwkws minimum and clean the car up. Before I start I am getting it dynode to see what figures i get before I do anything

Thanks for reading. I will keep use up to date with all the work I do and if you got any advice I would love to hear it.

 

Will get some more pics up ASAP

 

cool! i had one of those as a DD, and i had a couple dreams about putting a real engine in it

 

Very cool!

 

Awesome! I actually Currently have one of these as a DD, i couldn't imagine actually having a rotary in mine, haha it would be awesome

 

Here's a couple of shots of engine bay as u can see needs a bit of a clean up

 

Making a new gear box mount today to get the motor to sit level will get pics of it once done

 

nice

 

Looks pretty sweet. You may want to check out the "Old School and Other Rotary" section of this forum for their expertise. The section you are in right now is typically for large single turbo builds (bigger than bolt on 2nd gen turbo).

 

Thats sick, definitely a cool build

 

Arghx I will check it out. I do plan on putting a big turbo on it later. I just wanna get the rest of the car up to scratch first

Pics of the old gearbox mount forgot to take pics of it one it was modified



It's now straightened the tail shaft and its a lot smoother to drive now
