If you honestly want a 10 second car out of an E30, you better have a large bank account if you want to do it right.
be serious you how hard it is to develope a 10sec car......relax all im looking for is a daily driver with some kind of performance backing it up

with that much bondo and putty in it 10 seconds is going to be near impossible. you will only get vanos if you swap to a M family motor from the E36's or newer. but you don't want to swap so i'd suggest leave it the way it is and make it look decent, it's not going to be a cheap car to build like a honda.

a stroker might net you 200bhp. if you're dead serious about it, that's really all you can do. a 2.8 can be made by boring to 85mm and using an ETA crank, or you could use a 3.0l kit like ireland engineering sells.
in either case you won't hit a 10 second quarter mile without serious forced induction.. the E30 is just not a quarter mile car.

wassup man, welcome to bmws, german engineering, and a place where top speed is respected more the how fast u get there..
I am only 18 (i know how it is trying to build a racecar at a low age =low money, time ect.)
e30's are NOT drag racers, they are made for turns, not straight lines.. i remember seeing somones avator on here ,, it makes sense, it said
"drag-racing an e30 is like taking a hooker fishing. Its fun, but not what it;s made for"
you bought the perfect car to take to the track, speed around turns, and have great response at speeds 80mph+ (stock) but as far as a fast quarter mile car, nope, it;s a 2.5L SINGLE cam motor.. theres only one intake valve, and one exhaust. there is only so much you can do to the engine itself before the engine cannot do anymore. 300BHP is the most i;ve EVER seen an e30 do, and thats with a turbo. if u still want to keep this car and be competitive, get out of drag racing, and get into autocross
bmwcce and scca are two great groups who organzie such events. when u turn 21, you can have legal access to racing on racetracks.. a full day of racing vs "10 seconds" thats what bmws are about... anyway, if u have any questions u can PM me, good luck..</img>
