a 220k 2.7 liter with modded e head, 283 cam and springs, 1.3 conversion with m30 afm, 19lb injectors, markd chip, and fan delete made 145rwhp, 145 torque.
as many mods as this car has it feels slow compared to my friend's identical 2.7 set-up, only with i cam, stock injectors, afm and jim c chip.
goes to show that unless you do serious headwork stock parts work to make you power, the i cam is perfect for the 2.7i conversion with all e parts.Old and improved:

both cars use ALL e castings.. stock e blocks and e heads with port work and different cam.
Emissions are no problem. I had original convertor on my set-up (with about 400,000 miles) and a 274 cam loping like mad and still went through smog, albeit right at the legal limit. A convertor will less miles will be more than adequate, my car smelled like a tractor with that useless thing.Old and improved:

to clear this up for myself, even though i read this whole thread, i have a 2.7 with an "i" head, a shrick "290" cam, lightweight flywheel, headers, a "173" ecu, and it will have a jimc chip when i install this motor. how much power should this make?, and what might it run in the quarter with a 4.10lsd?Originally posted by BillBraskyThat's like Vlad challenging Chip Foose to a car painting contest.Originally posted by acolella76i'm pretty sure 'Phillis' is short for syphilis

i bought the motor in this condition from another e30 guy, this is what he told me about it. it may be the 289 cam, or maybe he was mistaken. any way to check without removing the cam?
from what i understand and have read, shrick makes a 287, 289, and a 292, so it can't be a 290.
is there a part number on the cam i can see without removing anything but the valve cover?Last edited by ieatpeople; 03-21-2008, 08:58 AM.Originally posted by BillBraskyThat's like Vlad challenging Chip Foose to a car painting contest.Originally posted by acolella76i'm pretty sure 'Phillis' is short for syphilis

If so then what you want to do is get the 528e 2.7 short block or just the seta pistons and find an 885 i head and put it on the seta short block with all i parts and motronics.
If the 528e has a toothed crank pulley then grab the pulleys and ecu.
If you would take some pictures of your 87 and the 528e It would make it easier for me to tell you what you already have and what you need.
If the 528e head has holes allready drilled for an i cam then get the head also and put an i cam with springs in and you will be good to go with all i parts and motronics
You have to forgive me I dont have an 87 which is the year when parts are different then 86 and 88 so let me know if your 87 has a toothed crank and if so where is your cps located.
