Im just starting on the Journey of a E30 300hp to 400hp transplant Like you I also prefer to remain non Turbo (even though im tempted as Hybrid could tell you ) I have a S50b30 which I will be picking up next week or so . Target HP will be low 300hp at a stretch 350hp. With the low weight of the E30 it will be a weapon But my focus once I have fitted the engine and drive train will be how the car can handle this additional Power Gearbox will be native M3 Diff = Medium case E30 LSD Steering Rack = Z3 (still researching) Suspension = Adjustable platforms (there are many options here (Big money) ) Brakes= Brembo? Willwood? ytd wheels??? exhaust system????? custom made, not cheap S50b30 is probably the best option to get above 300hp for a E30 but it will cost you a lot more than 10k Give me a call mate I can can give you some realistic options 0212730800

I think you will need to have a major rethink on that budget. 300hp? ya well then the best option will be a s50b30 But that will cost you closer to 20k Let me explain..... A e30 was never designed for that HP. If you want 300+ hp then you need to think about a whole lot of other things The drive train The brakes The suspension Plus a million little things to transplant (ask Hybrid) Otherwise it will only be a car that can go fast in a straight line and then OMG...... If I were you id build a nice M20b25 manual with a nice cam good brakes and suspension. A nice balanced package. Maybe a stroker engine (m20b27) But 300 hp? no way....

how much horsepower are you after?
-
I suggest using a standard E30 engine to keep costs down Either a M20b20 or M20b25 . Both would give you much better power than a 1.6

I dont like the sound of it being over filled by 2 litres of oil. Id make sure that the manifold is clean an that the injectors are clean. Overfilled engines can blow the oil back thru the entire system and cause all sorts of issues. Ive seen the mess that overfilled oil can cause. Check that out and make sure that isent the cause.
