Boosted m10. You are now enlightened.

There's been a lot of engine swap noob talk lately. Wonder why.

[Jafxod]

Anything boosted

Cummins ISB CR 610

Ran across one for $1200 the other day.

In all reality. It's about preference really.

LS3, if we're being serious. S50 if you don't shit hundred dollar bills.

[mr2peak]

Whatever you find on craigslist. Unless you also shit shipping pallets.

How many do you NOT know of. Hmmmmm?

If your on a budget and wanna stay BMW:

S50/2
M30b34/5
M52
M50 (but not really)
M60/2

Your best option would be an m21

If money doesn't bother you and you wanna stay BMW:

Euro s50
S54
S62

Or you could just go turbo or supercharged

[Lurker27]

It depends on the power goal.

<250rwhp worked NA m50
<300rwhp worked NA s50
<400rwhp turbo m20, you can cut corners at this power level
<500rwhp turbo m50
<650rwhp turbo m30
anything above this, built m50/s50 turbo

of course, that's just one number and doesn't necessarily reflect how fast the car is. An LS1 swap probably slots in nicely around m50 turbo power levels but I suspect it's faster.

I would love to see a RB26DETT in an E30.
