I suggest waiting on the MR palette . Ultra will most likely have another 20 % off coupon going around in December so u can snatch it then . And if it sells out it ' s permanent so it can wait you know . <| sep |> chaser and coco were hardly washed up <| sep |> Huh , TIL . I don ' t mean chopping up a C 36 I mean buying the engine from a wrecked C 36 . There ' s 3 or 4 around me . I know 50 hp isn ' t much , but then again , I wanted the comfort and leg room of the E class with the power of C 36 . The way I calculated it , swapping a C 36 engine in , complete job , will cost max $ 2500 . Turbobandit , on other hand , their kit starts at $ 5 k , and you still have to source your own custom ECU and standalone 722 . 6 controller . All told , maybe $ 10 k to get the car to run . Plus I live in communist Kalifornia , and they frown really hard on any shenanigans that deviate from emissions . Dropping a C 36 is easier because C 36 is already legal here in CA , but turbo M 104 isn ' t . I also thought about importing a M 104 C 280 5 speed transmission from UK , then putting that in the frankenstein E 36 . everything will bolt up . Aaaah , to have money .
