volvo t5 engine is a great powerplant, if all thats required is an adapter plate to make it fit bmw gearbox then go for it. how much does the adapter plate cost? im not sure if its that simple, it would certainly be a custom plate anyway, dunno how much that will cost. ppc or retro cars had a mk1/2...

the down side to the volvo 960 box is that it has a fault ,i belive its with fast gear changes crunchin 3rd and wreckin boxes ,theres a simple mod that you can do to fix this , but whats the point when you can use all the remaining bmw drive train ?

i would love to do this conversion and good luck i belive this is the one you want http://209.85.227.132/translate_c?hl=en&tl=en&u=http://shop.klracing.se/cgi-bin/ibutik/AIR_ibutik.pl%3Ffunk%3Dvisa_artikel%26artgrp%3D30%26artnr%3DA4-7-4%26visa%3D1-30%26Sort%3DBeskr%26Visn%3DStd&rurl=translate.google...

another thing to consider is that your clutch will die a horible death ,unless you are gonna run barbie power

well the bottom end is fine ,the head gasket will need help though in the form of welded head ,with or with out wire o-rings standard gasket ,or mls gasket used with a stud and nut kit insted of standard bolts , you can use the standard ecu with a chip and riseing rate fuel reg but it is not the way...

personaly i dont go turboing a non turbo engine as it is so expensive to get a good engine with low compretion,guess you will need an old engine thats been round the world twice, then stick a turbo on that, engine management ect,double the power yipee lots of wheel spin fun to drive then bang the o...

i dont have the nissan stuuf but its just something i like the idea of. but im also interested on sticking with the m20 and keeping it bmw. 8) 2.3 turbo saab turbo engine with a vauxhall omega gearbox volvo t5 2.3 turbo with volvo 960 gearbox the is another option with the volvo ^^ thats a bellhous...

if you only have standard head fixings they are just bolts ,and in that case i would not raise the boost any more ,
lol at the sump,its not the 1st 325 too loose a sump an i wont be the last

I have a H1C running 10psi at the moment on standard head, studs and gasket. What bhp was he running at 22psi? Im looking for max 350bhp really. What are you running? Cheers Dan hey dan ,when you say studs ,i take it you mean arp or race ware items ? if it were my engine with standard head with arp...

Im down south in hampshire. Looking to get the head o-ring as easier then getting the block done if im welding the water channels. Where was yours done and did they pre-heat the head before welding? im in dorset , the pictures are not of my head just an exsample , i think you will find it hard to s...

all of them are welded in the middle leavein just two holes one at at each end

i just had my water chanels welded ,an a head reskim ,and checked the valve seats were not warped was £333.00 includin vat ,are you wanting the head o-ringed or the block ?, were are you in the country?

thanks for the reply jmc330, we dont have the ews module from that car , so what options are there to get round this? i have seen all the bits needed on e-bay for about 350 ,theres gotta be a cheaper option surely?

ok i am a dip shit the car is a 1995 ,is deff a 3l s50 In which case the E30 fuel pump will be fine. A 1995 3.0l will have EWS, so there could be an issue there, but we still need more details. Has the engine ever run in the E30? hi thanks for the reply ,no it has not run in the e30 before ,it does...

1996 will be a 3.2 evo, so it needs a 5 bar fuel pump, not the 3 bar pump in the E30. It might start with the E30 pump, but its not going to do it any favours. The M50 wiring is not the same as the S50 wiring. Unless you have followed the S50 wiring info, that would be the first port of call for th...

Has it ever run?

yes it has run in an e36 m3 ,so what has been put in the e30 is a running package from that car ,bar the fuel pump . the wireing side of things has been taken from the m50 sticky thread ,i take it that this is the same ? thanks gary

engine from a 1996 car, as said it will fire up for a few sec with insta start spray , doesnt smell of fuel but is sparkin ,so just want to rule out the fuel pump ,thanks for the reply
gary
just poped round there ,and there is other issues

as above a friend has the engine fitted too a e30 b20 with standard fuel pump but wont start ,will start with insta start thought, surely it should start with that fuel pump ?

there is loads of info here

the calipers are W124 300E/190E cosworth. Not 300D! Pagid,ferrodo seem to be the main companys for them. I've got a set of pagid road pads, and ferrodo DS2500 for track work on my setup. No shaving required they fit straight on out the box i take it that these dont just bolt onto normal e30 hubs or...
