Who's going to be the first?
As light (or lighter) than an M20, 3.6L, 323hp, revs high so it'll cater nicely to our light chassis, headers merged in cylinder head so exhaust will be easy, looks like a front sump pan, easily accessible/cheap, etc. It's a narrow V6 so booster clearance may not even be an issue.
Miata and RX8 guys are all over it, but I haven't seen anyone talking about it for the E30. Seems like a great candidate for our cars if you want 300+hp in a nice, light affordable package.
They have RWD and FWD variants. The FWD can be converted into a rwd from the change of an intake manifold, tstat housing and fuel line.
I donno, seems like a winner if the wiring isn't too bad. It's direct injection so you'd likely have to run a catch can to avoid carbon buildup, but that's a given.
There is a ton of info in this thread:
