kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 It's an E 2.7 M20, Simon bought it to flog the box for his E30 [but ended up with a E30 conversion] Even if it doesn't sell the education is worth it!

I dont get it.... where can i get all that for $650 ? i'd take 2.7 and 5-stud conversion kits (no need for manual conversion, haha). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted July 28, 2006 Read the first post - he wants $650 for the car. You can use the suspension parts and do a 5 stud conversion. The engine is an m20 (same as e30 6-cyl) so you can bolt the gearbox on and use alot of the other parts for a manual conversion. It is the eta engine which is 2.7L - you use a combination of your 320/325 motor and this one and you end up with a 2.7L motor similar to the ones in the SA 325iS like what Sam has. All for $650 plus labour and consumables - its a good deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mops 4 Report post Posted July 28, 2006 I see... i understood he wants $650 just for manual conversion... yes, i know about stroker conversion. I'm looking for that 2.7 bottom end for m20 turbo stroker build. so you are saying that rear subframe would fit e30 (does that run 5x120 stud ?) ? I dont really have a place to store whole car, but i guess if i have no other option then i'd take it lol I emailed that dude, and just awaiting reply....

bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted July 28, 2006 BOOM! headshot sparkle! ring ring phoned nah not really, cause he outlined it as as 525, not saying wether it was a "e" or not, me thinking that it was a 525i which were m30, which you argued. so p-onwed you.

Gus 5 Report post Posted July 28, 2006 i dont think the rears bolt in...glenn MADE the whole subframe assembly fit with a little persuasion. rumour has it that the fronts can be used...however you still need to buy the e30 m3 lower part that bolts onto the strut...$450 a side or thereabouts..not cheap! and a 2.7 built that way is a fair bit different to how sams is put together..competely different pistons sparkle, you're a cock. shut the f**k up n00b Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
