Hi R3v,
So the E30 I bought is an 84 318i with an M20 swap. The Previous owner said the engine and transmission came from an 87 325i which he as no proof of. All this time, I assumed the engine is an M20b25. When doing my shifter, I googled the VIN on the transmission and donor car turned out to be an 87 325e.
Is there a way to tell, without opening the engine, if this is a 2.7i or a 2.5i?
The block stamp is 2.5. on the side, the numbers say 26096291. The ECU it is running on is Bosch 380 with a Turner Chip, if that helps.
Just trying to learn more about my Frankenstein of a car. It pulls really hard so I am happy either way, but I am very curious more than anything.
thanks in advance.
