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.
e30 is heavy?! It's over 300lbs lighter than an Integra/Civic before pulling out the cast iron boat anchor, lol!

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.
