Do e36 parts fit e30

[Gaza2009]

My mates breaking his 2.0 e36 and im wanting to put a bigger lump in my 1.6 e30 shell im getting wich needs verious bits would the half shafts fit into the e30 hubs? And i also myt buy his diff if its fits as its welded? Thank you

[Kos]

why would you want his half shafts ?

[Gaza2009]

Because mine aint got any its just a shell nd am building it bk up

[capnmchl]

I wish I could take a shell of no date and build it burger king up. I think I'd make mine out of XL double bacon's. They'd never go off, it'd never go rusty and it'd smell and taste good.

Power steering rack is an upgrade for the E30 and is worth taking. Wouldn't bother with the 2-litre engine. If you're going to go for an E36 engine you'd be better off throwing another £500 at a donor with a 2.8.

Front wishbones will fit, but E30 wishbones are better. Best stick with E30 ones.

Diff can be rebuilt into an E30 diff housing, but only worth it if it's an LSD and even then, it's a lot of work.

Nothing else is worth the time & effort.

the headlight bulbs will be H1 and will fit an e30.

the rest is best off in the bin

Pretty much above, Rack with the UJ's from the rack.

Very little else fits.

engine and box will fit with a bit of work to the loom but youll need the propshaft i think the mounts are the same, however the e30s are built much better than the e36 but if the bits are cheap id go for it but the 2.0s are a bit numb and as for the formentioned 2.8 litre thats not a wise move as the 2.8s are prone to going wrong and are only about 10 hp different to the 2.5 which is the best engine, welded diff also not a good idea your best buying an lsd for a couple of hundred quid as itll be a nightmare to park and to drive slowly

2.8's are not prone to going wrong at all. If you have a choice between an m50b25 and an m52b28 pick the m52. Only reason to go for the 2.5 is steel block for things like boost.

whats wrong with an alloy block for boost?

Problems arise with the 2.8 when they overheat. Steel head bolts in an alloy block. But kept in good order with regular oil changes, coolant flushes on schedule and periodic change of water pump (as per any engine) they won't overheat and nothing will go wrong. Remember belt-driven camshaft engines tend to have the water pump changed with every belt change, ~30,000 - 60,000 miles. As the M52 has chain driven camshafts, this sometimes gets neglected.

Only 1 horsepower difference between a 2.5 M50 and 2.8 M52, but don't let that put you off. The 2.8 has more torque and is deliberately restricted. Fit the 2.5 inlet manifold to the 2.8 and say hello to up to 20 new horses. The alloy block is also lighter, by about 20 kg iirc. That's 20 kg less over the front axle meaning better handling. It's an entirely different beast.

Thanks for thecomments and reason for welded diff is its for drifting and im thinking ov putn 2.5i in and turbo just cz e36 is really cheap so thaught sum bits may fit

[TommyM]

[ross_jsy]

Oh all the time. We are the zone wronguns for a reason

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Lol at drift cocks. Welded diffs are the reserve of deviant shit fettishist faggots. Nothing says "I fuck kids" quite like a welded diff.

Why do you want a welded diff ?

lsd's cost at least 3 giro's

it's probably best that you buy a Vectra, if you don't own one already

[TommyM]

Hahaha u guys seriously hate welded diffs? U bite far too easy! Seeing as your surrounded by scrap at your location e30topless im guessing u have a garden full it living upto the giro lifestyle and trading on here outside making your'e weekly trip to the post office im really liking this forum btw too easy to fish

[Kos]

Remind me, Who's the one who reacted to being called a drift cock ?

Ah yes that would be you

[TommyM]

Nope id say u reacted much better at being called a c**k with a non e30 as there picture so enlighten me why welded diffs are bad for drifting DK?

[Kos]

I just questioned your reasoning for the avtar comment , now do I have to have an e30 avtar ? Is it a forum law ?

Did I say wealded diffs are bad for drifting ?

[TommyM]

Wait a minute as i reel that one in...
Not sure u seem to have something against them and ur wee bum pals
