Completely depends on your model. M10, M40, M42 and M20 engines all respond to different tuning.

If you want to increase steering speed, upgrade to an E36 or E46 rack; it's been done plenty of times here.

Be warned though; welded diffs are very much a Pandora's Box topic on here...

hi there

Both of those engines will be old and tired by now, and for a sport like drifting you're going to have to spend a LOT of money on them to get any performance increase.

The M10 can be upgraded with camshafts, twin carburettors, even a turbo if you have the money. But the engine from the 633csi is old, heavy and very thirsty; it will make the front of your E30 very heavy, and you will HAVE to upgrade all of the suspension, brakes, differential and exhaust system to match. A lot of work for not much gain.

I don't know where in the world you are, but you would get more performance by swapping to an M42 engine from the E30 or E36 318iS.
