sr swap

[drifty340i]

I kept the 2 peice bmw drive shaft on my conversion but modified the input shaft to suit the supra gearbox

I've rode in my a friends fastback 240 with this motor and.....i swear it pulled as heard a m42 and he was driving the piss outta it. I was honestly like regardless a turbo 4banger in a e30 should be fun!!! nice swap.

LMK when stuff starts breaking. There is a reason why BMW went with a 2 piece design.

The same reason most do, reduce vibration due to overly spongy trans and diff/rear suspension setups that were primarily designed for comfort?

Am I close? As far as letting you know when stuff starts breaking....well.... dont hold your breath. Alex from Dentsport Garage was running a 400+ hp engine on this setup with no breakage issues.

Peace

A turbo M20 can make that... A turbo M30 won't even break a sweat at 300hp.

you speak the truth my friend... you-speak-the-truth:p

Driveshaft is a custom one piece design

Very cool indeed. Got any more pictures you care to share with us?

True, but the sr20 is only a 2litre four and is very light and cheap to build and tune

Preaching to the choir! SR swap is badass

What did you have to do with mounting the motor? Custom mounts? custom driveshaft?

The motor and trans mounts were made by Alex at DSG. Driveshaft is a custom one piece design

The rest is all yours truly.

Take care,:)

Appreciate the positive comments! As for the sacriledge comment....well...covering my car with high buck no function euro crap is a sacrelidge. A high output all alloy turbo four really makes for a super light and balanced car. It only weighs 2270 with a half tank of gas AND me in it. Havent driven it yet but with proper tuning down the road it WILL make 300hp at the wheels, easy peasy.
I didnt post this to start a pissing match with m20/m30 guys. Those are both wicked motors in thier own right.
They just didnt fit the bill as far as weight and size goes, with this project.

Peace!

I have remote setup going on soon.

Big power! stock sr20dets can make 300hp fairly easy
