- Background
- Originally owned a '92 Mighty Max that I loved and wanted to turbo, when I saw this one pop up for sale with the G63B I decided to purchase it in order to do this swap. I've never done anything this mechanically involved on my own car before, so I've really enjoyed learning so much along the way with this swap. Current short term goals are to finish up this swap (just electricals, a water pipe and running a couple more fuel lines are between me and the first start), get it running happy and at around 200whp. Long term, I'd like to get to around 350-400whp with a stronger transmission as well as an LSD and disc brake conversion on the rear. Maybe even a 4 link and coilover setup on the rear to replace the leaf springs, but that's a long way away for now.
