E34 Wagon swap

[bimmerjan]

Hello all, I just bought a 1993 525it and I would like to swap it. I have had turbo cars in the past and they are my favorite kind of induction. Any ideas what engine i should swap into it? budget is around 5k. Oh and i would like to use a 6spd manual out of an e46 m3. I have one laying around and i like the ratios.

GTFO with your practical, relatively straightforward swap. I mean, who wants decent, reliable power when you could have a twincharged M20B20?

Nice, I also have a s54 sitting around but its so expensive to make power on them. Nvm the fact its obd2 and the wagon ways like 3700 pounds. Im trying to make a fast as f*** wagon. I had an s13 nissan making 350 at the wheel but it only weighed 2700, trying to make a car that fast. So what, 440 or something at the wheel? Also they made the wagon in awd?????? that thing would launch hard

M40 turbo.

A little 4 banger in the big wagon? I think i might go BIG turbo s52. Or mild turbo on my existing m50, that would be cheaper

M70

A REAL man would go SBC with a blower sticking out the hood, and tub it...

Im on board for turbo s52 for a reasonable swap

supercharged s62 for burnouts and wiring headaches

So you have all these parts "laying around" and all this skill to build/swap cars but lack vision on what to do with all your resources? This sounds like a troll/attention whore post. :yawn:

the smaller the motor, the more turbos you can fit in the bay
