E30 Zone

ive just bought and m30 for a whopping £50, engine, loom, prob, diff etc. i can have anything off the car i want, i was just wondering what do i need for the conversion? the box is duff so i asume il need a new one? rather then m20 box?

You will need mounts too

do i need custom mounts or the e34 mounts?

Look at Lee's sig, he sells the custom mounts

They needed something with torque to pull the titanic

It will gain 69KG over an M20 but in reality its only around 5% of the overall weight of the car, and its not that noticable on the road

Good easy conversion imho

seems more complicated than i 1st thought lol

Is the engine from a manual e34?
It aint a hard conversion bud .Check out leeparkes build thread and the link i gave you.(thats basically how i manged to do mines)

Ask Gareth about how to tune one. I had a morning as passenger in his car during the zone roam and I was amazed. It's FAST. It didn't seem to matter what revs/gear he was in - it just pulled like a bastard. Torque is where it's at, area under the curve and all that.

Plus his car is a white touring, so it goes even faster ;)

Can't argue for that money. M30 converters drop anchor in poo bay though

Especially Rav & Gareth

Call it what you like, nothing beats the open air experience in the Summer, while you tinheads sweat it out, but atleast you won't get Sunburn on your head

moved to the M30 swaps section - the area of the forum specifically for engines made out of granite and about as tough
