1991 190e 2.3

Oh and was the alternator, distributor cap & rotor, and coil pack in good shape from the 190? I have a laundry list of parts I need and I was wondering if you would part out the old 2.6 motor?

Its going to take custom work but yes it will all work. I have the stock ecu and if it gets to rough than do a stand alone. Im waiting to see if I can continue this project.

Definitely let me know, the rb may be a better way to go then trying to supercharge a 2.3 dohc.

Well now everything is changing. If I let my 350 6spd go than I would like to DD this. If that happens that I just want to make less headaches and do an Mb swap to make it driveable. With a skyline I would not care if its slow..

If you do the swap correctly why couldn't you DD? Wouldn't the jap engine be more reliable in the long run? (Less the turbo of course)

Well its going to cost more money to fabricate a nissan motor to properly work with everything on the 190. I think they both have good reliability. I chose the rb for power potential. Once my car is on ebay we shall see.

I suppose one could say that this is Rieger's interpretation of the EVOII kit. It's call the EVO III kit.
