Hey mate hope your still active here I'm based in NZ aswell! Invercargill to be precise, I've got a w202 c280s 2.8 v6 m112 I've heard the 5.4 m113 from a w208 is a "plug and play swap" can you shead any light on this I've also heard the 722.6 gearbox in the c280 will bolt up to the 5.4 I'm aware it won't hold the power for long neither will the diff. Also if you didn't know already I've been told c55 amg brakes are a bolt on upgrade for w202s I've got some for mine, In the process of rebuilding them.

Hey man! Yeah still mucking around with a few 202's when time allows =) Is yours a 2000 model with the touch shift?(w208 55 is only 00 onwards) The engine will be drop in however IIRC you'll want a bunch of other stuff around it, ie AC lines,fan shroud and intake plastics, matching EIS, ECU. if you can get a full W208 55 as a donor you can then run its suspension, trans, diff, exhaust etc

W203 brakes bolt up however piston orientation is reversed, you can separate the calipers to flip the cast iron brackets and replace the inner halves with ones from W163, same piston sizes however these use banjo.

Awesome, mines a 98 so dodged most the shotty wiring but I've got the 1234 gated, not triptronic.

How did your swap go mate is she finally running and driving? I'm overjoyed somone from nz done this aswell haha

Also was there much fabrication involved to get the 208 gearbox and diff in? this is my main worry getting everything to fit then getting it to function together. I assume I'd have to modify the 208 subframe to suit the 202 ?

I've also got another project you might be interested in a 99 nissan c33 laurel, it's getting a 2.8 m104 i6 turbo built for 800hp-1000hp. Forged rods pistons big cams double valve springs and heaps of boost lol

I was originally going to put the m104 into my w202 this was the plan all along but after some digging I found it'd be easy to v8 swap the 202 and leave this for something else. The engines immaculate aswell 30,000 original ks perfect for a turbo application.
