hello......if i want to change my existing engine for e30,what engine is good include others than bmw?

RB26!
but not advisable....
why would you want to change to another engine...
dont you know that even an E30 320i pistons can stand up to 8 psi...
If you are having a 318i,you can either change to a 325i or sumthin. :nyehehe:

well, 1st of all you need to ask yourself what's the reason of changing engine, then how deep is your pocket. I m sure a lot of gurus here can point you different direction.

So, it's up to you. If you change engine, you need to have a objective. you want refinement ? power ? handling ? ..

It's endless dude.

Go for the M42 :yes!: hehe
