    2.7 eta

    hi guys...i'm new here...now i have an e30 with 2.7 eta engine...if i want to increase horsepower of this engine, what should i do?
    can i swap 2.7 head with 2.5 head?

    is it any difference between 2.7eta and hartge/alpina 2.7?

    Yes and yes. Swapping to an "i" head, putting in an s52 crank, and turbos are great ways to make power.

              Wow. Good luck correcting that mess. I'd leave the RB in. Eta's are not fast. And neither are I motors. Shoot for S50 +

                  No, I think that that KA24 you're thinking of. Maybe i'm wrong.

                      Aa a bonus filling the tank will also double any Eta's resale value .

                        Just go for an RB25, that would be a nice boost in power. 8)
