e30 m30 1/4 run

[drai]

what 1/4 times could you get from a e30 with a m30,m50,m52 or m20 2.7. thinking of doing a engine swop or rebuid which would be best for 1/4 run? any info would be great.

Have a scan through you tube, lot of vids up on there! Having never done 1/4 mile in an e30 I've no idea think. M52's are doing mid 14's

[leeparkes]

M30 = mid 14's
M52 = low 14's
M20 2.7 high 14's

M52 is best on a quarter mile because you can keep it in the powerband (4.5k-6.5k) all the way through.
On the road is a different story.
Imo i wouldnt bother with an M20 if power is your thing unless you are bolting a turbo to it.

Depends on the E30 too, ie if you are using a touring or cab the weight will be an issue, for some reason the lightest E30 is a 2 door chromie

Any idea`s on the actual weights of e30s i have looked a few places and seen a few different weights depending on what site.Has anyone had theirs on a weigh bridge ,im most interested in tech1 sport weight ,and also weight of a stripped out one say for track use but not extreme ?
