User Name 19 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Hi Guys i was just wundering what kinda mish it would be putting a m62 engine i think it is into a e28, or if anyones intreseted i found one for a 1k thats running, i was thinking about getting it for myself then realised that i would have to take the auto aswell and ive bourght a manual conversion for my m30 engine but would it be worth putting a newer engine in my car or just go with the m30 engine and flag spending big cash on certs etc Cheres Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 much easier to stick with m30 - i would hazard a guess the m62 is really only worth it if going for the 4.4L. at least putting a 3.5 it maintains some originality - meaning you might actually be able to sell it if you ever wanted to good luck!

oldskool 4 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Hey Kym, There is alot you can do with a m30, Cam & head work will give around 240 - 260 with headers and better breathing, you will spend around 3 - 4k to get that improvement, with a big leap in tourqe as well, this will mean that you would be around a similar cost to V8 engine and trans. I am ( as funds and time allow ) putting a V8 & auto into an e23, so can let you know how much it will all cost if I am ahead of you.......... Who has the V8 for 1k ? Our you could talk to Topcat and do a deal on his turbo m30 that is sitting in his e28, it is a bit of a beast from all accounts............ That would be a fun way to travel sideways......... Good luck with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
User Name 19 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 A guy down in wellywood its being sitting round for ages like 1yr its kinda funny someone hasnt come at night and taken stuff off it lolz. Yea i will prob just work on the m30, yea ive had a look at topcats one but didnt manage to get the finance for the whole thing which sux, so i decided i would do my interior and engine swap, then do the aftermarket work on it. the most funny thing i went to mag and turbo to price turbo's and they said a little evo 3 turbo would work, and i was like its not a matchbox car.... going to need something bigger they wernt much help lolz Yea with headers etc, will hopefully get it done as a perky but im going to start taking pics so i can put a post up on my project once i get started more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
