Hello Pabst Blue Ribbon, be ready to be eaten alive.

Funny story actually....I created the name pbr87 because of my initials and my birthday. It's also my name on several other forums. However, I also like Pabst Blue Ribbon. I also like e30s (so why should I be ready to be eaten alive???).

Like I said get creative with the BFH and heat wrench, and maybe the metal sticker togetherer. You dont have to use the stock configuration for the turbos. move them if need be. Thats the fun of creating a monster.

I don't really have the know-how to do all that. I don't kow if you've ever seen under the hood of a TT Z32....but trust me, it's incredibly cramped...not to mention they're bigger cars than e30s. An e30 with a VG30DETT would be waaay too much of a headache. Besides, SR20DET is a perfect motor for an e30: cheap, lightweight, reliable, responsive, tuner-friendly. Whereas the VG30DETT is : cheap, heavy, fussy, top-end power only, and difficult to tune.

You need to get yourself into an E30 and out of that shitbox Nissan you call a sports car. :p;-)

Jeff keeps telling me I need to swap a 2JZ into an E30, but fuck that when I can turbo an S50. :D

Here's a video of the car up and running btw...

Car looks good, tell your paps mine should make around 240rwhp when I've got all my goodies on ;-) I'd still like to run him when mine is complete. (twin GT28RS, 615cc injectors, eagle rods, Wiseco pistons, etc. etc.) As for Jeff, meh, Jeff's nuts. it's been a while since I've seen Jeff...did he ever get that Busa-Mini swap completed?

Good god Paul, wtf are you doing here?

meh...it's not the angle of the block that's the problem.

It's more the twin turbos, multiple vacuum lines, and all the associated piping, bracketry and hardware that presents an overall problem.

If guys can fit a M70 (BMW v12) into a e30 you can fit VG30DETT in it just get creative with that BFH an heat wrench.

Tell us more about this engine swap you speak of

SR20DET into an e30. I'd LOVE to do a VG30DETT...but I don't think it would fit. I'd do a 2JZGTE...but it's played out, it's expensive, and it's been done before. I guess SR20 insn't the most ungodly swap ever...but it's certainly both performance-minded, and unorthodox.

Thanx mayne. Hopefully within the next year, I'll own a e30. If (and when) I do...I have in my plans the most ungodly engine swap ever!
