So you want more power in your E30? Well then an M6x engine is definitely a great way of giving your E30 some more punch. The engines are cheap, the mounts are made available by Garagistic, the weight penalty is minimal, and the fun is endless. This guide is extremely detailed! It gets down into the details, part numbe
yes FrankMs car is an awesome example!

As you wish:
Getting your v8 e30 beast to stop! To get the M6x family of v8s to fit your e30s engine bay, the brake booster needs to be relocated. Being that the v8 is wider, the booster setup cannot go in the stock location and must be relocated further forward like the e34 setups. This is arguably the hardest part of the swap. Ho
We will be adding more details to it very soon.

The car has a radiator from an e32 (frames were widened to make this happen), as well as a massive 16" spal puller fan.

-A/C
-Remote booster a la e32/e34
-stupid stock oil filter housing
-power steering (this is a personal choice here)
I think with a little creativity you could rework some stock manifolds to merge out front on the passenger side and place a single turbocharger there, ideally where the a/c compressor would normally be. There is already a company that sells a centrifugal super charger that mounts where the a/c compressor goes too if I'm not mistaken.
