whats best for a novice conversion m30 or m50?

[320ise]

or is there any zoners that would do one cheap? would like ago myself but would like views from people who have done the conversions as to what is more expensive and easyer to do as i would love to have the torque that the m50 lacks over the m30!

[Jhonno]

There must be about 3000 threads to do with this now..

[DanThe]

Is that this week or last week Jhonno?

[Jhonno]

Last 3 days I think fella..

[DanThe]

[TPS]

3001 now

[Bob_S]

I think all new M50/M30 threads should now be locked there have been a good douzen threads on S50 conversions these past few weeks

[bulletproofbob]

well i asked about M50/M52 build... am i in trouble too?!?

[blitz877]

leeparkes has done a very good m30 conversion thread mate, search for it and have a read

[SHAKEELE30]

Or why dont we have a specific section for these conversions now, seems like alot of people want to do it now...

You're ok, it wasnt the standard which is better, or how to do it thread..

That's a good idea.. We should have an Engine Swaps section, oh and a search function also...! It'd also be a great idea if we stickied a thread with loads of info in it..

[hammoj28]

Swap section would be a great idea. Maybe sub forums for the different types of swaps too? Might help sort it all out.

[DanThe]

Sub-forums for engine swaps (or tech help on engine swap cars) would be good, ala R3V, would make for easier searching and keep the worthwhile threads within reach

is there any point when 90% of people who ask about engine swops are dreamers and soon shy away when the real cost come to light especialy with m60/s50 swops and reliably FI

Perhaps the dreamers are the people who spend thousands on a tatty old bangers The ones that don't are living in the real world.

How does that work?

Have spare money, spend it on car.. Don't see that as dreaming

[Kos]

LoL dan, you got that bang on,

i think oakey is getting confused, there are pesants who drive shit boxes, spend a few pennies bodging things and dream up more wonderful budget ideas for their cars when they havent got the coin and dont want to spend doing job right

they are the dreamers

[oakey]

I know what you were getting at My point is that some of these "peasants" may be far from peasants but would rather spend their money on something more "worthwhile". Just pointing out a different POV. Not my own mind you....

you still dont make any sence

if what you are trying to say is that people buy e30's and they want to do some upgrades then realise it will be expensive and not cost effective and chose not to do it even though they have the cash, well that still makes them dreamers for thinking they can do it in the 1st place on the cheap

[DRIFTBOY]

I see the sub-forums are there now, but will it stop all of the daily "which is the best conversion?" threads...?

[320ise]

i personally think it would be great if some one who knew what they were talking about and had sone the conversion made a thread or a guide on one page with no replys available just an info thread and then silly people like me who are always asking questions etc (sorry!) could look at this and know everything there is on the topic be it m60 or m30 or m50. a conversion from start to finish with no replys and not like a 100 pages as the reason these topics keep coming up is people are very lazy and want fast info (me unfortunatly am too guilty of this!) if the fast easy to read on one page info was there there would be far less posts imo. i also think the new engine sections are great! all they need now is a stickey on easch one with the above info.

[ImysE30]

First post on this thread says near enough everything:

[320ise]

thats great but still could do with the same thing for the m50 and sr20det etc would be great to have that in a nice easy read format and would stop most of the related posts.

[Jhonno]

There are so many ways, it is impossible.. If you read the info you can make up your own mind how to do it
