99 percent of the work on this car is done by yours truly. I still have to finish up cooling system and electrical details but should be running by the fall!

Noice.

[silversleeper]

nice! ive always been fascinated with this swap... any videos of it? how quick is it compared to stock? what kind of power potential does a stock sr20det have?

[drifty340i]

Big power! stock sr20dets can make 300hp fairly easy, quite a popular conversion here in NZ. jump onto www.bimmersport.co.nz and type in sr20det and you will see

[SpunkyE30nOk]

omg that motor is sooo tiny in the e30 bay...yet i know the sr20 makes made power when done nicely...but its sacrilage going with a non bmw motor

Big power! stock sr20dets can make 300hp fairly easy

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

I have remote setup going on soon.

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!

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,:)

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

[PiercedE30]

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

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