I have a friend who was considering putting one in a '02. Not sure if the project ever got off the ground. May want to search the o2 forum.

Thats funny, I sold my last 2002 to a guy who was doing the same thing

whats the hp difference between the f20 and the s14?

This isn't the one I was talking about but as you can see it's been done - more than once.
This guy modded the hell out of the firewall to move it way way far back but I don't think that is necessary.

This engine is perfect for the e30 IMO. Light front end for great handling with nice sporty high revving power. The e30 is light - even lighter than an s2000 - so it doesn't need a lot of torque either. Oh and I hear the transmission that this engine pairs up with is amazing.:nice:

Someone definitely put one in an e30. It was posted on here a few years ago.

Yeah, I remember an F20C powered touge BMW a while back, but I forgot it was an E36.

I'm just at work idly dreaming of E30s and engine swaps.

I remember the E36, that thing was pretty neat.

[Teaguer]

Don't remember one in an E30. But there was that Japanese e36 that had one that was running the Touge or whatever.
Yes its tall and the hood was "popped" permanently to allow it to fit in the e36.

What do you have brewing yo?

[FredK]

It's too tall or something, right?

Please post pictures, there were some Japanese ppl that did this a few years ago but I can't find pics.
