does any 1 know any one who has put a sr20 motor in a e30 in aus and if they know who can help . K conversions ( in malaysia i think ) have a kit 4 $3500 but some forums say they arn't good in the quality field . also there is a sight in the us that have mounts 4 a 87 to 93 mustang motor ( 5.0L ) that they say is cheap and effective but not sure if falcon motor in eb is same . any help would be good . and my car is the 85 318i so not much grunt and turbo on an m10 would be risky $ and not as effective .

Jason Broadhurst would be the right fella to see on these boards.
The user Slappy (or something) has an SR in his BMW Compact.

Broadhurst is a bad, bad man. He gives me impure thoughts about shoving a JZ into my E21 323i.

Naughty Jason.

Thats cheap as dirt mate! Go for it i recon, gets all the stuff out of the way that you dont want to do..
Where is that site on the net, gets me thinking maybe do a little sr20 conversion while im waiting for mine haha

[51APY]

did i read that right? twin turbo auto?

[2JZZZZ]

Probably end up with an aristo 2JZ. EVEN BETTER!!

[7shades]

Er.... SR20DET only has one turbo, and the R154 is a Toyota gearbox.

That site is dodgy as hell... UK registered domain, but the business itself is in Thailand... I wouldn't risk a single cent on it

[2JZZZZ]

Isn't a R154 a manual too? haha

EB through to AU3 would fit.. All are windsor motors..

[jaybri]

since this kit is american so both engine and car are designed 4 LHD setup . Would it make sense 4 me 2 use the falcon set up for my RHD e30 or wouldnt it make any difference as i presume the wirring loom would be a different set up meaning there guide would be useless in that sense . And would i just mirror every thing else ? also if any one can c a hiccup with this please let me know .

You don't wanna buy my beamer already done by any chance?
