If you could use any engine in the E30...

[The Driver]

The old M5 M52 engine V8 TT'd...


If it was completely unconventional and raw peak hp, only one engine for me...

Tri-turbo 20B Custom ported... 1000Rwhp at 3x3psi

If it was BMW it would either be a V10 N/a or an 850 motor...

S38B38. And I WILL do it someday. /thread.

Stalker ;). That's my dad's M5, or at least a similar car. Same color, same engine (duh) and same zomg-thats-clean engine bay. Where'd the pic come from?

isnt an sti FWD??? how would you get that to work?
thats one thing i love about the e30. its rwd. why fuck it up and go front wheel drive?

It's awd and when doing a swap, I modify/DE modify it to RWD ;)

I never said anything about drivetrain :D

[The Driver]

Why not just get the sti CAR and blow the e30 off the road??

Coupe, lighter chassis, shorter wheel base, lower center of gravity...

Thats the only thing in this whole thread that made my pants tighten. All aluminum 3.8 w/ itbs yum.

I lie, a S70 will always make it move too.

Does the S38 have the same cylinder spacing and intake bolt pattern as an M30?

ANd also what are the differences between this S38 vs the old S38 that came in the e28 and the M6?
