    Boxer engine in e30.

    FLAME SUIT ON!

    okay so now that ive had my Subi for awhile, and i still have my e30 in the wings, i was thinking it would be interesting to make a boxer powered e30 not for top HP, but their has been the comparison between the toyobaru and the e30, so it would be kinda cool to see what i would be like if they both had similar engines.

    the easiest would be to run on MS3 or some other aftermarket ECU, use the 5sp from the subi, and weld up the center diff, make some engine mounts and run exhaust, and figure out the driveshaft. it looks like the oil pan might even sit similar to the e30s out towards the front.

    thoughts anyone?

    E30 engine bay is 27" from rail to rail

    EJ22 (the smallest-headed boxer) is 28.5"
