-
what is awesome under the hood?
lsA?
ls3
ls9
lsX
m62
N74
S38
4bt
AJ133
other options?
this is not a track car so no drysumps, made by toyota, or f*ed up hybrids also must be streetable

i really like the idea of the ajv8 i am not to keen on the idea of an ls swap i know its the cheapest / most hp but fuck it this is the internet. if i had the money the n74 swap would be so my style but for actually being able to do it i think the jag motor is a good option as its the LS motor of Europa pluss they sound like god belching!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

here in Madison. Thing is awesome 2.7I swapped, HKS 35R, mega squirt ms2, computer for on the go tuning/ etc, my friend said when we roll raced it lifted the front tire off the ground. Thing is bonkers.
2.7 would be an m20, not s38...not to mention how unlikely it is for any e30 to hook well enough to pull front tires on the street.

Haha, after writing it I was like'shit wrong motor'had to jet though. An it lifted the front tire off the ground. Multiple people confirmed it. Trust me. 2.7 Bored out to 2.9, with hks 35r, etc it makes serious power. I'm talking 500 range.

I might be the odd ball out but I don't think I'd ever want a torque monster engine in a 3 series, you should have to really wring it out and use every last RPM to squeeze all of the power out of it. I would go S54, and then maybe add a supercharger. M5's should have loads of torque, but I don't think a 3 should. And I have to admit, (flame suite on) I really hate the sound of LS motors. But alas, do what you want, just not another 2jz

I dont think they are over rated, I mean its not cheap but, with the right mods you can get a little over 400 hp out of them na.

you'd need tub tires to get enough grip to lift
Wrong.
Sorry bro's. I've no need to lie to any of you. I know few of the people on here. I'm not here to impress anyone. Hell, come to madison. We'll take you for a spin in this E30. It pulls a wheel up. it's really not that hard to do. Did it in my truck if I was really getting on her. that had built motor an I only had 335's in the rear...

To me the effort outweighs the cost. You could do many other things cheaper. Like a twin charged m42. lol
*sigh* I guess I am just a dying breed of people who like built na motors
