I've been wondering if I could somehow just use the E head but use stiffer valve springs and the I cam to let it rev as high. As far as I know the only thing that keeps the E from revving is the weak valve springs. Have you done the swap?

slow rolla just gets all his info from meh.......



I am an e30 addict, but mine suddenly decided to be a bitch and lock the tranny in 2nd gear....

i went under it and found tranny fliud everywhere coming out of the rear seal... (a seal i had a shop replace a month ago so that it wouldnt leak....)


but as of now i have a 1 speed manual e30 with a top speed of 50mph....


but yeah swap the i head with the dual valve springs and the i intake and you have 1 hell of a turbo motor.....:-P

PM me if you ever need anyhelp.... I love working on e30s
