S14 swap in to 325is

[e30s52]

but it will sound nice. swap the exhaust over too.

Buzzy little 4 cylinders lol. They sound ok but I wouldnt say nice.

Ok, so it won't sound nice, but it will sound better than a totaled e30 m3 must.

it's a straight swap, pull the engine/trans/driveshaft, rear diff, and install them into your non-M e30. Then swap radiator/cooling system into car, then hook up wiring and bam.

Okay, thanks for the help. Also are you saying the harnesses would be a straight plug and play?

[avery0829]

Billstien struts on IE3 springs.

[Farbin Kaiber]

No, it's not plug and play. You will need to make or buy a connector.

[avery0829]

Alright, well I guess I'll check that out. Thanks

Only positive to putting the s14 vs. 24v will be the handling. The lighter 4 cylinder will make the car much more neutral.

I'd put that motor in a 2002 instead, like Blunt did. Then you'd have a car that's just as fast and handles way better ( with the proper suspension of course) than a 24v car! :twisted:

I like my E30 though :)
But a S14 2002 would be baller.

its an e30-> e30 swap, just swap all the subframes, and harnesses, shouldnt be too hard.
