can i combine a b25 with b27

[VRSTLE]

as it says above i have a 1990 325ix car that drives now but has frame damage so i am going to turn it into a parts car.

(i got tired of searching for a 325ix that does not run because everything on my car works well except for the frame so i was going to switch it all over to the new shell)

i was looking for project cars and found a few 80s 325e and 325es and was woundering if engine parts would cross over. like fuel pump, intake, and spark plugs and hoses.

i was also planning on putting together a stroker soon so would having both a M20B25 and a M20B27 right now help out

[matt0300]

Everything would switch over except springs and front sway and steering rack. Everything engine wise will. The oil pans on ixs are different but that doesn't matter.

[matt0300]

Intake boot would be different also from an eta. I would just buid a super eta are ur gonna end up with a slow car even slower than the IX lol.

[VRSTLE]

And would be able to switch the head from the b25 to the b27 correct how much more would I have to switch to make it work.....should I just reasech. How to build a strroker anD stop was
ting ppls time

[VRSTLE]

No need to hate on the ix I a$ not excited about leaving $a awf

[matt0300]

There's a great thread about super eta build on here. Don't know the link but u can search it. If ur IX is an automatic I'd keep the rear Diff, seems like everyone is dick hungry for a 4.10 LSD. And u can sell the transfer case for some good money and front drive shaft. Oh and sell the front Diff. If its a manual ur still gonna have 3.91 diffs which are still pretty decent but its no 4.10.

[VRSTLE]

So then would buying a 87 325es be a bad idea

[matt0300]

I wouldn't do it. It has as much HP as an m10

[VRSTLE]

I thought(I have been wrong before) that the b27 was supposed to be a good engine to build into a stroker

[Kershaw]

matt, you're retarded.

i LOVED my 87 325es. for DDing i'd much rather have an es than an is.

the ix has a different chassis than all the other e30s.

[matt0300]

Hm how much whp on the dyno did u get from love?

[VRSTLE]

This isn't about the chassis I know they are dif I just want to know if getting the 325es could produce(with work) a fun fast car

[VRSTLE]

Hey ur in md I'm in virginia u know of any good ix shells for sale or just and e30 car that isn't running fo sale

[matt0300]

With a lot of work. U might as well just get a 325i and boost it.

[matt0300]

I know a Guy in nc with a lot of IX parts who might. His names Rigmaster. Haven't seen him post on here in a min but he always post on nceuro.
