Giving My Bmw A Taste Of Skyline

[DJ984]

I'm with most other responses here.

personally if you wanted to spend that kind of money, I'd get a v8 from the same era out of a BMW and supercharge it.

just my 2c

i wouldnt bother doing anything to it.

*shrugs* if you have the money I don't see whats wrong ith doing it... Expect to pay upwards of 10G just to get the motor in their... not to mention gearbox, custom tailshaft, wiring up the electrics etc...

It's sure be different. You wouldn't be thinking about re-sale value. If done right it'd be unique and quick! and the. THis months auto salon magazine has an e36 with a 2jz in it.

in all honesty people here are going on about resale but why??????

does anyone modify a car for its resale value? if you modify a car you never recouperate your money anyway.

personally i think its a great idea. who cares what engine was originally in it, provided your making an improvement

[oook]

My mates workshop (GT Auto Garage) did an RB25DET conversion into an E36 318i last year. Wiring was a mission, fitment was not the drama that alot of people said it was going to be since they used the Greddy intake plenum. Was a very successful conversion apart from smashing a few diffs before an M3 rear end was sourced. Car is now running fine to this day.

It'd be ok with an older one like a e36 or older. But i wouldn't recommend doing an engine swap to a e46.

I would just sell it and buy something else if I wanted more grunt, but its your car....

sell your e46 and buy a 6cyl e36 then add a turbo kit, much better, or even have a look around for one, they aren't that rare.

ive seen pics of Beemers with SR20s... and one with an off its nut rotor... dont see why you couldnt... anythings possible.

except for a man eating his own head.

Well... yeah, and except for a man eating his own b _ __ s ???? LOL

e46 too good to ruin it. if you must, drop in a 2j.

[ras1983]

What model is it? Are we talking a 316ti or a 330Ci, coz there's a big difference from one end of the three series scale to the other. Anyways, I've seen an E36 with a 2JZGTE, so one would expect the E46 to swallow it also. 2JZ is better than RB anyways.

*hides behind flame retardant barrier*

No barrier needed. i believe that the 2JZ is a better engine than any RB. However, just because the engine is better, doesn't mean the car is better.

i.e. rb26 vs 2JZ - 2JZ seems to be the better motor. GTR vs Supra as a car to drive? GTR is the better overall performance car.

now i need that flame retardant barrier!!! :nyaanyaa:
