Any E30 with a 2JZ swap

[antoans4]

Hi im new in the forum, i currently own a 2001Audi S4 fully built 3.0L RS6 turbos on E85 Dyno 541awhp and 534awtq, i have always love the E30 and im thinking on buying one, i know you can swap an M50 or S50 motor but is it possible to swap a 2JZ motor and how much you guys think it would be

Should be fast!

Yes, there was one posted here, and it's for sale. It is a vert in SoCal IIRC.

You can do anything with enough time/money.

But it isn't common, no.

I'd want an LS1 before another I-6

OP, look into the potential of the M5x series of motors - it's going to be much easier on you and you will not miss out on what a 2jz could do, unless you're literally planning on being well in excess of 1000hp.

Go s65 or s85!

S65's are used in the e9x m3's and S85's are out of e60 m5's or e63 m6's

[antoans4]

^thank you, i think there is an E30 m3 with the S85 motor in europe

Given an unlimited budget, yes. Those engines are both sick, but for the money a 2JZ can't be beaten. What's an engine rebuild cost on an s65 or s85?
$10,000, $15,000+?
What about the VANOS maintenance?
$7500+?
2JZ is way more budget-friendly. Not to mention 500rwhp is stuipd-easy to achieve on a 2JZ...ulike on an s65 / s85.
