Anybody who's built a nice car will know what I mean. A perfect body and paint is almost $10,000 in itself.1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

S54 for sure imo but if 400+ is a mandate Ls is a good answer. Ast coils, Biiiiig brakes and a built diff. If 10K would cover that. plus there's wheels and tires, seats, bushings, steering rack, etc. To think of.For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!Originally posted by mbonanniI hate modded emtree, I hate modded cawrz, I hate jdm, I hate swag, I hate stanceyolokids, I hate bags (on cars), I hate stuff that is slowz, I hate tires.

Hmmmm, I'd go with a single turbo 2jz with r154 tranny, 2.93/3.25 lsd, e36 m3 5 lug, some sticky tires, and a good body restraint. Oh, and as much chassis reinforcement as possible.Originally posted by audiquattrotbimmers b4 b*tches....remember that.

Why do you want 400+ RWHP? That would be uncontrollably fast and unsafe in an e30. You would need huge rubber to even be able to use that power and not only a full suspension upgrade including everything but a subframe reinforcement kit and a serious heavy duty LSD differential.
The easiest way to get the 400+ RWHP you want would to go turbo. If you're doing it to any stock e30 engine to get that power it's gonna have lag and be pretty uncontrollable and non-linear, not to mention unreliable, especially with a $10k budget.
You would be way happier with a linear power delivery, high revving, naturally aspirated engine like the s54. It will be about 100 HP less than your goal but you will enjoy it much more. If the goal is tracking the car (not the drag strip track) then it will be way more rewarding and easier to put down the power.
But you will not be able to do an S54 swap with $10k.
If you want a good way to spend $10k either lower your expectations in terms of HP and swap a naturally aspirated BMW engine such as S5X or M30.
OR, if you are dead set on this number you want to dyno and that's all you care about, you will have to spend way more than $10k.Zinno '89 <24v swap in progress>

BTW noone of the swaps anyone has mentioned so far can be done for anywhere close to $10k.
If you can't spend more than $10k, do a s50 or m30 swap and you will be happy with the power.
240 HP in an e30 feels like the equivalent of more than 300 in most newer cars.Zinno '89 <24v swap in progress>

Early body, black or white, blue int, 2 door, euro bumpers, 86-87 Alpina front spoiler, BBS or Alpina or Zender rear spoiler, Short wind splits, fender mounted mirrors, some kind of old school wheel (no stretch or poke...), lowered, with 383TPI or 383 LT1/LT4 with 5 or 6 speed, 4.10lsd rear. I'm sure i may of gone over budget LOL.
