supraspeed Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 just wondering has anyone tried putting an m3 lump in their supe (the 3.2 from the 98> M3 EVO) cos wouldn't the pure power of that engine and some tubbies give it massive power... or is the M3 engine not that good at handling all that power?

tooquicktostop Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It would be VERY expensive to make it all fit and work for the gain in power over a single turbo 2JZ if any ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraspeed Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Blasphemy i know i speak from a dark and forbidden place but it would be interesting to see the power figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 why do such a thing ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Bit pointless really, bear in mind that they put the 2jz into the e36. Thing is, there are better bmw engines than the m3 lump which would be better... something like the new m5 engine would be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraspeed Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 i could go one step towards the dark side further and get some dark shades, hands free ear-piece, buisness suit and swap the supe for a convertable M3....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) the other way round maybe http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=275575 still cant stop it being driven by a BMW owner however http://video.aol.com/video-detail/bmw-m3-e30-2jz-supra-engine/3560577524 Edited August 11, 2008 by tooquicktostop (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 They will only make similar power to the 2JZ if you bung a bigish turbo on them, i know somebody who has done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 2 jay-zee all the way man and why for the love of god would u want to put that in. The 3.2 has dual vanos and is a 2k fix and seems to be a common problem with them. Also they dont have much low down torque and u need to ring its neck to get the best outof them. M5 also has dual vanos and is a $$$ fix again so best to stay with jap me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I remember a company who turbo the M3 engine making it up to 500 - 600hp, and they didn't speak well of its reliability when that was done. They suggested frequent rebuilds, so it doesn't sound worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
