e30 swap almost DONE! VTEC inside!

[speedminded]

Just needs the intake manifold and header!

[HachiDori]

..........I see something wrong lol

[Thighs]

super failure. i hope it explodes.

[D.Choe]

I expected to see a F20C or a C30A, but this....

this could be interesting. props for seeing something different

[GSRteg®]

Will it run is the question.

[BTEC]

nice try

[HachiDori]

s52ftw

[speedminded]

s52ftwNegative. B18c has more meat between the cylinders for boost! :boobies:

[FasTech]

Why don't you take a side shot of that for us ;) lmao

[EmminoDaGreat]

lol.

[speedminded]

Why don't you take a side shot of that for us ;) lmaolol, nah I'm having too much fun as it is :lmfao:

[BTEC]

[EJ25RUN]

I did that the other day. Direct bolt in must say. ;)

[FasTech]

No.

[uproot]

LOL

[Cool Cat Racing]

You make me sad. lolz When I opened this I was about to be angry but then I just laughed alot.

[Catnip]

lol. I can't believe people don't see the head bolts underneath...

[Cool Cat Racing]

I never saw the head bolts but I saw the title and was going to be angry. Then I opened it, saw who was posting and knowing what he is putting in the car I laughed. Of course I can't say shit, I'm putting a built SR20 in my E30, but at least its not a honda motor. lol

[gen2freak]

lol is right

[Thighs]

Negative. B18c has more meat between the cylinders for boost! :boobies:

m20s have alot of boost potential... and 2 more cylinders... and torque... lol

[speedminded]

m20s have alot of boost potential... and 2 more cylinders... and torque... lolBut he said S52...the S50 and S52 are bored out versions of the M50/M52 block. In stock form they can't hold anywhere near the boost you can run through a M52. I believe Ulysses (CardCounter) still holds the record on a stock M52 block pushing about 25psi making 704whp before bending a rod. He daily drove it in the mid 600's for a long time beforehand.

You definitely can't go wrong with a M20 though, e block for even more torque and you can push 20+ PSI through it in stock form. I've seen numerous ones with 200 to 300k miles making well over 300 to 400whp...

[Mr. Clean]

it looks so lonely in there lol.

i only said m20 because im assuming this car is a 325 and came with an m20.


i hate honda engine swaps, and this one especially because youre putting a small, torque-less engine in a heavy ass car. its kinda backwards if you ask me.

My E30 weighed 2060 pounds... :screwy:

[Brown Man]

nice valve cover

:goodjob:

[Got Milk?]

lololol

[You_Wish]

looks like the valve cover is just chillin there...

[Nang]

cos it is?

[DinanM3atl]

I thought m52?

This is really weak sauce if this is actually the motor going in...

[EJ25RUN]

looks like the valve cover is just chillin there...

To the untrained eye.

[swollix]

weak.

[OnURleft]

Really really weak. I would've approved of an F20 or F22 but this is just no fun.

My e30 is a 318i with an M10b18 so going to an all aluminum 200hp 8,700 RPM engine that's practically 1/2 the weight would be a substantial improvement over a stock engine... despite barely having 140ft-lbs torque on a good day. On the other hand obviously the M10 can be BUILT virtually without limit with versions ranging from 75hp to 1500hp.

On a side note, I'm really putting an M52 in it with a GT30R...but laying the rarest Honda valve cover on top of a M10 block to piss off BMW owners is fun, proving how stuck up and close-minded they can be. :taun:

Back the bus up. I think most don't really care but we only heard m52 forever... then see what looks like a bolted in 2.0L Honda motor was a letdown.

Thank god you would get slapped by Hans Stuck himself

[stock05evo8]

wtf

[speedminded]

Back the bus up. I think most don't really care but we only heard m52 forever... then see what looks like a bolted in 2.0L Honda motor was a letdown.Actually a 1.8L Honda Integra Type-R valve cover that's never been installed and only been out of the pink honda wrapper 3 times for photos. Doesn't mean much to a BMW fan but that would be equivalent to a BMW EVO part to them. :boobies:

[Kalifornia087]

LoL that's hilarious. How is everything coming along on the car anyway?

[dz988]

wow....
got any pics of the whole car
or engine bay?

[Sport1.3]

LOL jason you LIE!!!!

[WalkS]

Hm i wonder if you found a transmission that would work with the B series engine. But other than that, optical illusion is for sure, your definitely foolin a lot of people :goodjob:

[speedminded]

LoL that's hilarious. How is everything coming along on the car anyway?Looking for parts, selling & trading parts, etc. I know what I need just looking for the best deals. e34 oil pan and OBD1 M50 conversion would be great...then whatever drive shaft that fits with the ZF transmission.


wow....
got any pics of the whole car
or engine bay?just looks like a stock big bumper e30...for now.


Hm i wonder if you found a transmission that would work with the B series engine. But other than that, optical illusion is for sure, your definitely foolin a lot of people :goodjob:S2k gearbox with a conversion plate would work. Now rigging up mounts to put a b-series in that direction would take some planning.

[BoxOn20s]

Believe it or not this swap has actually been done. Now I'm gonna have to look at my Option videos to find the specs for it. I dont really know why this person did it but it didn't really perform that well.

[BoxOn20s]

It was an e36 with an S2000 swap.

Oh, thats right. Regardless, it didnt make much sense to me.

[05IONREDLINE]

That is actually a swap I have thought of. Also thought of putting a 2JZ in a e23 7 series.

[eg mike]

nice wire tuck :P
