Hey guys, new here on the forums. So college is coming and and well, I will a lot of time on my hands during the next two years, so I decided to take up a project. An e30 Drift car, I had a 1998 S14 with a 2jz-gte swap and that kicked like a beast, 648RWHP. Now I'm moving towards something German, so e30 seems to be the best option. I can get an e30 325 for about $1,000, and was wondering how much of a hassle it would be to put an SR20DET motor in it? I can also go the FI way and slap on a turbo on the stock M20. I know the FI way would be a lot cheaper, but putting an SR in a light car will make it fly! So your thoughts? My budget is about 7~8,000$. All help and replies are appreciated. :D

Give me $8,000, take my track ready GT3071R e30. :p
Umm.... SRs in e30s have been done before... I've seen it locally. Personally too much of a hassle as the M20 is a good platform already (I never understood why people go from 6 to 4 cylinders for "performance"), and other BMW swaps are also very accessible, provide great power and reliability.Erick Mahle | FullOpp Drift | YouTube

M20 is a very simple motor. Nothing complicated about it. Fairly bulletproof too and starts off with low compression, which is great for boost.

Have fun breaking rocker arms and having a car that sounds like it's trying to hit the brown note all the time.
SR20 = crap motor. They're incredibly common out here and hated by everyone except povo drug-addled fanboizPork Hunt Motorsport

24v stands anything 6 cylinder from 95-forward.
But in your budget, probably an M3 motor S50/S52.
