E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted June 22, 2004 I have a TT Soarer engine w/supra 5spd in my e30. It is a tight squeeze!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 Dam You! Don't steal my idea I want an RB26DETT powered E30. Man that would be so cool. If you had a bottomless pocket you could do it : ) Sorry I haven't been much help but I'm sure it could be done, someone put a rotor in an E30. Atleast a GTR engine is a straight 6 so its sort of similar. You could also think about an SR20DET that would still go all right and would be heaps easier to fit, and lighter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 correct me if im wrong.....but im pretty sure a RB26DETT is too big for the engine bay....without some serious firewall cutting....never heard of it being done but anythings possible with the $$.....however you will still end up with a very difficult to drive car. eventually im planning on going to sr20 det route....hopefully out of an s15 with the CR 6 speed gear box, also its a lot smaller so not as difficult to fit in...not for a while though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SeelanNaidoo Report post Posted June 24, 2004 yeh .. I think you're right about that.. maybe I will have to put the s15 engine in.hope I won't have any problems with the fitment of it.how much do those cost anyway ( the s15's I mean) anyway I love the silve s15 so why not compromise on both cars i like ..huh.. would be great to know how much the whole drive chain would cost me in all. (engine , box, ecu+loom) thanx anyway. N.B Gus u still wanting the alpinas coz I am slowly changing my mind about selling it.... I am getting back into the e30 fever again although i am still getting the m3 motor from SA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted June 24, 2004 s15 g/box engine loom and ecu is 5-6g keen as mustard on the alpinas...just wanting to know about the LSD's? but yeah....100% on alpinas! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
