    what can I do to make my Eta weta??

    Im trying to talk my girlfriend into getting this e30. Its an eta which kind of sucks but I think there is some potential. It has a 3 inch cat back exhaust, and a bravarian performance chip. I have been reading up and it seems with the chip the car should have about 140hp and 190 torque. I have a spare m20 i engine that will be coming out of my car soon, and some 19lbs injectors . Is there a way I can utilize the chip, with my i top and the e bottom, or do I need to switch to the i ecu? My question is whats the most I can get out of just the parts I have, and does anyone have some number! I just want her first e30 to be a awesome.

    With what you have available, turning it into a budget stroker would make sense.

      I've been reading more and it seems like I could only make a budget stroker if I had the super eta. I just have the regular eta that comes in the 85 e30e.

        A set of SETA pistons is all you would really need if you have that combo, although I know quite a few people with the ETA bottom and the "i" head that run hard...

          so I could just put my i head on the bottom end? should I run it with the chiped ecu or my stock 325i ecu? what type of numbers should I expect

              You'd swap your I head, intake, afm, engine harness, and DME into the ETA. Ideally you'd want SETA pistons for their higher compression ratio. The result will make more power than an ETA, but less than an I.

              The other cheap alternative, given the parts available, would be to swap in the M20B25 engine complete.

                hmmm I never thought of that but I guess that could work.
                all though that 2.7 torque might make her excited... in the pants
