dang. booya. awesome now i dont have to figure out how to weigh the damn things.
as for the mgmt im not going for insane power levels for now i'm just running stock ecu. ill see how it goesI don't think your mom appreciates the value of those modificationsComment

Either way, it would be very nice to see some hard numbers. I was looking into a 13B swap, but then decided to go with an M20 stroker since it just seemed like the rotary swap would involve a ton of custom fabrication...much more than I could handle, anyway. I wasn't sure if the 13B would be powerful and reliable enough to make the swap worth it.
However, if the 13B-REW with OEM twin-turbo setup fits the E30 engine bay without too much trouble and is really as light as you guys say, then I might have to seriously rethink my M20 stroker project!

Do you really mean "less than the S14 motor" or "less than the S14 motor and tranny?"

Yea that's probably s14 w/ trans. still a healthy weight savings.
as scbeamer will tell you even an FC (turbo) with the 13bt will easily waste an e30. Stock FD makes 255hp/215tq that's a pretty healthy gain over the m20 or s14 just stock for stock. Single turbo setups get into the 400s.
Going to talk to Steve Osley tomorrow hopefully put together a time frame to get the keg assembled and get started with getting this thing in. I think he's in the middle of a 20b build so a lil busy right now. It's ok I can wait a while in order to save a bunch o' $$$$$$.
Just to clear a few things up:
1. Yes I have a 20b intercooler Steve found it in his crawlspace under his house. :) Slighty better than the PATHETIC FD one, i have one of those too.
2. Stock twins ( Non - sequential setup )
3. Stock ECU for now
4. No Emissions, no cat, no nada
5. Boost controller with mild setting planned
6. Stock FD trans
7. will need custom driveshaft
8. Need better Diff for rear end still
9. FD radiator fits perfectly got one for 20 bux.I don't think your mom appreciates the value of those modificationsComment

about the e30 diff: just pick up a 3.73 large case from any 325i and you will be good to go. What is the factory rear end on a rx-7?

sigh... brinkley is new to BMWs and i'm sure i would have confused him by saying medium case diff without explaining the large case diffs that NO E30 HAS EVER USED NOR WILL EVER USE. <3
Thats like fuckers who say s52b32 doens't exist... it's the s52us b32 bla bla bla
eat a large case dick.
