Would an F20C fit into an E30?

most guys aim for 600whp ish on stock blocks, t1 tuned one to like 900 or some crazy shit on a stock block. The last one i did only made 430 supercharged, the pulley setup was only good for 7 lbs

^thats guys s2k is amazing. very cook guy as well. I actually woulda bought that s2k is my bank would have given me the loan without a co signer.

Don't get me wrong, it is an awesome idea. But it isn't practical. I have read many magazines such as Modified, and also Sport compact, that said that the f20c and f22c were not happy with high amounts of boost. I have no previous knowledge for why it isn't, just from other magazines.

i was looking into boosting my s2k that i was going to get. they can be built for boost like crazy and from they guys i talk to that boost them right, f20's love boost. so i guess it all depends on how much psi, and shit you tryna push

Well not continuing to veer off course, I think the F20/F22 would be a really good motor in an e30 if it can be done easier, with the amount of work it takes; there are too many other options avail.
I'm gonna measure up a VQ motor soon and toss that idea around. Small all aluminum V6 could be a good one too, and they sound nice IMO

my conclusion is that you're better off just using a BMW engine.

Yes. Other engines sound cool, but too much of a home made feel to it.

Sorry, I caught the username but didn't want to assume. Being from the Honda world why would you quote that RWD K series drag car as being stupid, and the F20 as not being boost friendly. Both of those scenarios being very common and well known in the Honda scene.

KA24 turbo would be much better.. CHEAP. Just saw one with a t28 pushing 230WHP yesterday

Why would you even bother swapping a motor at all if you only wanted 230 with a turbo, the lowliest stock equipped E30 ( M10 ) could do 230 wheel on the cheep with a turbo.

you are talking to someone who knows about as much as you. I came from the ep3 scene from the past 4years lulz

That is definitely 13k. Just a lil steep for an engine swap.
