E30 M3 4G63 Swap

[m-heaven]

Started the swap on my porject E30 M3 few months back and now it's final stages.

just thought i will share













I have documented most of it here http://e30m3b-spec.blogspot.com/

It starts now and will be tuned in the days to come, hopefully after that i will take it to the body shop to put her back together.


It's different type of project so hope you will like it.

Regards,

do u have specs on those built mounts as I have a built 4g63t motor. I have seen your pics before, looks great. Did you buy or build the trans plate. I want to use the toyota supra trans as its what I have however I think they quit making the plate adapter. I've only seen one other swap like this, its that brown one that is mainly a drag car though. Nice..

Going AWD?

SO why did u use the suby trans? isnt it AWD?

I'm using a 4g63t/6bolt out of 1g eclipse with a little more than 300hp.

This motor you have looks like an EVO 4g/7bolt. My exhaust manifold is on the other side.

[m-heaven]

It will be RWD. The mounts and brackets and pipes are all custom built. The fabricator that works there is damn good. Even that fan shroud is custom built.

Coming from a BMW background I never knew that there was a 6vs7 bolt 4g up until now honestly. But I can find out why he went that route.


I'm expecting to take her out for body work next week if all goes well. I can give you whatever measurements/specs you need.

Looks like a fun little build there. Any reason in particular why you chose that motor?

I'm no S14 purist by any means, just curious.

Awesome build!!! The evo motor is absolutely savage. Great way to get a ton of power and keep stock-like 4 cylinder weight in the front. I've seen pics of a 4g63t e30 swap once before but no build thread or details so this would be the first documented build of this swap I believe.

Interesting, I've always wanted to see a 4G63 rwd swap. I'm sure people have done it but I haven't bothered to look.

[JasonBates]

I'm actually really excited to see where this goes. I love those motors.

[325ix]

I approve of this.

[lambo]

Very interested because I have dreamt of an S2000 with a 4G63...

Dafuq does a Subie tranny have to do with a Mitsu engine...

thanks man. So what is he planning on doing with the holes coming out of the tranny for the AWD? This sounds like a lot of added work, I wouldn't think you could use the awd system anyway since it sits back so far.

I have the 4g63t still in my GSX/awd and its a beast. It launches like a frog and pulls like nothing I've been around, I've been around a lot, my old boss had a Ferrari to name one. My eclipse is currently broke though as I snapped yet another axle launching it, lol.

Whoa, that's weird. A broken DSM!

Just giving you shit lol. This swap looks badass, OP.
