    E30 Sacrilege


    A little background for you...
    2 Days following this picture I blew the motor getting on the freeway.


    I'm a nissan guy so I had this sitting around but sadly it was too much fab work to fit. RB25DET for those of you who are brand loyal to something other then nissan. The engine block measures about as long as it is firewall to radiator support.


    I also had this sitting around doing nothing. It was much smaller and 4 cylinder and has been in 2 cars so far. So of course you know what had to happen...

    This thread is to chronicle my KA24DE-T into my shiny 800$ 1988 e30.

    Step 1. Rip the old motor out, and throw it in the dumpster. Rip out the ABS nonsense, extra brackets, and all wiring.


    Step 2. Rip out all chassis wiring to make way for much more concise, truncated racecar wiring. Ditch the pedals too (i got something special comming for that).

        what are the specs on the ka-t? stock internals?

        either way, i think you're the first to do this!

        i'm excited to see how it turns out. good luck!

            Dear god. This is like that time my uncle took me to the basement after our Christmas party...

            I just want to cry...

            Edit: I'd like to see your pedal conversion. And are those Ronal LSs?

                          very nice. there were 2 guys that i can recall, who have done this swap. you may want to search for their threads and maybe get in contact with them. one guy had some really nice one-off pieces that he made to make the swap work out.

                            dope...I was always considering swapping a 1jz in my last E30...so many E30's in other countries have that swap so I know it's not too crazy.

                            what's the specs on those wheels btw...
