Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / Fitting an m42 in an m20 car.

« on: September 20, 2012, 12:55:53 PM »

Thanks for all of the input so far. I've got the m42 in and on the mounts but it's as far as i've gotten. The m20b25 went into the 318is shell and will hopefully be finished soon.


Some pics of the E30s after swapping engines...










Still some wotk to do on the IS

The m42 touring,





Still some work to do here too...


At present we are working on getting the m20 engined IS up and running as a bit of a sleeper. currently has the original is diff so we're hoping it'll be a bit quicker...

Hi, i'm a member of a couple of uk based forums but there's not a lot of info on them about what i want to do. I have a good condition minimal rust e30 325 touring, the m20b25 was running great but the fuel costs weren't great. I picked up a cheap e30 318is for £200 with 10 months mot, it's pretty rotten so i'm planning on taking the engine out and putting it in the touring. The question is, what do i need to take from the 318is? Apart from the engine, box, loom, exhaust, ecu, fuel pump, prop, diff etc? Already removed the m20 from the touring but have yet to start stripping the 318is. Will get some photo's of progress so far.
