Would an F20C fit into an E30?

[VinniE30]

How does it not fit with the hood? The top of it sits way below the hoodline. Or are you guys talking about the e36? Who cares about e36.

Best part. The tall-boy of Asahi for the overflow bottle. with aeroquip type hose-ends. win.

Guy up here in the PNW had one in a 2002. Was pretty sweet. He had the instrument cluster swapped in as well (you might have to have the cluster to get the engine to run IDK)

I would do this swap anyday in my 318 over a 24v swap. But I'm overly biased towards 4 bangers in e30s.

That hood situation does not look promising. F20 and that 6 speed would be tits in a 318 or something though. Get out your hood scoopin' gloves fredk.

I'm aware of about 4-5 other '02 running them. The guys next door did another one last week.

That hood fits about as good as a Eurostop/DTM-Fiberwekz/Ary hood does. (or any of their panels really)

haha ziiing.

Sick, MikeK and his GF are in that video. I'll just ask him how easy the swap is.

There was one in a 2002 at socal vintage.

I believe it was BMI (best motoring) that put one in E36 yeah?

Stock F20C dynos around 195rwhp/140rwtq.
Stock S14B23 dynos around 165rwhp/145-150rwtq.

That's pretty damn good for the S14 for being developed more than a decade before the F20C.
