The Heart is from the east...


I require a 'heart transplant' operation ( by medical term) or engine swapping (by mechanics term) to make my merz to become a real monsters. Otherwise, it only like an elephant that afraid of a rat. After some study and searching I ve found that the best 'heart' is from the Toyota Mark II JZX 90 1 JZ GTE that produced 280 hp (206kw) at 6200 rpm and 363 Nm of torque at 4800 rpm, that can propelled my merz just like a scud... or tomahawk may be... that's very reliable in term of RM, durability and speed..




Initially I wish to put the heart from the Nissan RB 25/26 series, but after some study and testimonial showed that the 1 JZ is still the best in term of power and RM. 1 JZ already preinstalled with bullet proof engine that can handle up 500 horses without any internal modification.

The beginning...


My Mercedes Benz is from the W 126 280 SE model produced in 1985. Is a manual and 2800 cc displacement. I bought from a UKM lecturer about 4 years ago. Although the age of the car is almost my age, but the handling and suspension are still superb. The internal and external condition are still excellent even compared with the new perdana. Sometimes I wonder how the German had created such a technology that still remains even for almost 25 years, and still better than the newcomers on the road. The things that deficient is only the power. I need more horses to accelerate this monsters, to become the real monster.... so thats tell how the journey from the west begin.....
