Sick. Are you gonna turbo it?

nice E30, too.

AllMotorKing · 09-27-2006, 03:56 PM

damn, you are tempting me to get an e30 again. hehe. good luck w/ the swap. you should have wicked power after this. the motor is going to sit flush against the firewall but you should be ok.

nyqueenz · 10-01-2006, 11:04 PM

E30 are a really nice platform to start with..

I have an E36 325is which i converted to a 3.2 from an M3, and now its has a custom turbo which dose need tuning and widebody.

here is just a few pics..
tell me what u think.

AllMotorKing · 10-03-2006, 12:54 PM

there's a guy on the east coast that put a rotary engine into an e30. pretty neat; idea.

terdrift · 10-04-2006, 08:00 AM

Cool, Dam I glad to see some BMW people here...
I just dropped M20 into my e30

I am far from done...missing turbo and few other minor things
But I love the car...
I had bmw e30 325e turbo before,,,she is retired now...

And our team had also e34 BMW 535 turbo little over 400hp...www.ter-tech.com

Now building also e36 328 turbo car....and also M3 e30...
Plus one guy in our team is building a MB 190...

FD3S_pilot · 10-21-2006, 10:15 PM

brainfood · 10-22-2006, 02:47 PM

Cool projects! I took an e36 m3 out the other day, rotates super quick but damn I loved that motor. What is the engine code for the m3 motors? I know nothing of german cars.

_PG_ · 10-23-2006, 08:51 AM

Don't forget E30 M3 motors.. S14.

The 4 cyclinder that is one of the stongest blocks ever. *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ing insanity. Get S14 engine, turbo it, run good gas. Be done.

FD3S_pilot · 10-23-2006, 10:38 AM

Plus e30 m3's are the sex.

Cone · 10-24-2006, 10:43 PM

That's sweet you're building an E30 drift car. I have an E30 M3 and I have a S14. My friends got really confused the first time I told them about the engine in my M3, that was before I even knew what a Nissan S14 was!!

My friend started drifting in his E30 years ago. Man he used to drift that thing everywhere!!

My friend Joe Funk here in Portland has a ton of used BMW parts, if you need anything, give him a call. He has so many parts it's crazy.

His shop number is 503-327-6444

hey joe funk i know him on the e30 fourms(r3vlimited)...i asked him if he had any s50's for sale sadly he didn't

_PG_ · 10-25-2006, 06:34 PM

From what I understand, the 80's F1 engines were S14 blocks with ported heads, new pistons, rods, crank, sump etc... But it was an S14 block.

And it took 47+ psi boost (let that sink it for a bit) and made 800-1100 hp.

1.5 L.

Yeah. that engine is good.

Cone · 10-25-2006, 06:50 PM

Really, I swear I saw one in there the other day. Maybe it's sold already. He seems to always have a S52 or S50 just laying around.

masterbunta · 10-29-2006, 07:30 PM

This is what I am doing the exact same swap in....
