You could probably swap it pretty easily but I would definately swap from CIS to EFI.
The BAER, century, and other kits from the 70's are pretty antiquated with no intercooler and ghetto fuel enrichment.
I would intercool and megasquirt it.

e21 w/ turbo m10 definately, if e21 already has so much mods, do fix what is needed to be fixed, rebuild everything and you'll have a much cooler car!
P.S. where in austin are you?Leave a comment:

the german models had the same injection on them. All can tell you is that in germany- with german models of both, it would be very straight foreward swap.-- but I feel the E21 with the turbo M10 is much cooler/ oldskool.Leave a comment:

E21 Turbo M10 into an E30?
I have the opportunity to buy a nice e21 with a modified century/bae/rayjay kit. The motor has been completely redone, with forged internals, a custom/aftermarket intake manifold, etc. The car is in decent shape and has tons of body and suspension modifications, but I have really been looking for an e30 project/track car for a while now.
So basically my questions are (please bear with me I am somewhat of a bmw newbie):
>>What are the differences between the M10 that comes in the e21 as to the M10 that comes in the e30?
>>What would I have to do to put the M10 w/ the turbo kit (other than re-routing of i/c pipes) from the e21 into an e30 318 chassis?
>>The e21 M10 uses mechanical injection, correct? What would be needed to convert it to EFI for the e30 chassis? Standalone would be the obvious choice, but I would like to see if anyone has taken another route like using the e30's harness, that is if anyone has ever done something like this.
Cliffnotes: I want to take a turbo M10 motor out of an e21 and put it in an e30... What do I need to do?
