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

[kitch]

seems more complicated than i 1st thought lol

[shedrool83]

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
