That “I” head with “E” block stroker would be nice to watch. Especially since I know of the conversion but never actually SEEN it done.

This is my car. I bought it shortly after you made this video and I can’t tell you how helpful it has been to have some baseline info on the engine. Just today I found myself wondering “I wonder when the timing belt was replaced?” and here it is!

This channel is a must for bmw guys. Very good info and details.

thank god i found this video. just pulled the my eta motor off my 1984 e30. U basically go everysingle step. good shitbro mad props.

"Thank you for subscribing 5000 times" was funny to me for some reason. I'm not a morning drinker but I'll rip a cone to that.

Cheers!) 😊😂👍 🍻🍻🍻 Nothing is better than drinking beer with friends in the garage with E30 😍😊👍😎

Fantastic info in this video, keep up the great work guys! Awesome step by step Will, looking forward to the following videos!

Congrats on 5k, waiting for 10 soon 😁 Learned quite a bit 👍

This video helped so much, did my own swap to 2.5L, thanks for dropping knowledge guys. Cheers!

Nice work as usual. Keep the e30 videos coming please Thanks

In the process of doing my e30, tons of useful knowledge on this channel subbed

I'm here for y'all always. Cheers boys 🍻

I'm new to your channel but from another guy who's been turning wrenches on bimmers for over 20 years, and a fellow asshole, I gotta say you guys are fuckin cool. I'd love to hang out with you boys but I'm on the east coast. I mean, listen to the beginning of the video- "Let's do some more stupid shit..." Pretty much sums up myself. Fucking awesome, and hilarious!!! Keep doing what your doing and thrashing shit fellas!!!

Great job guys and very detailed 👌

Super eta video would be tight.

You guys could post content about anything and I'd still watch it 😉 Subs climbing steadily now though 😎

Lets see the Frankenstein!

New suby from uk, nice informational vid I'm sure I'll be asking a few questions soon. Came out like butter 🤣🤣 silent t's to say it the cockney way 🤣

Good stuff

I like ...i subscribe. I dont have friends and im from South Africa and we have millions of e30s but not alot of two doors

Great video. Just subscribed to the channel!

Thank you guys for the awesome content. I’m actually getting ready to do this. However I’m stuck because the M20B25 motor that I’m going to use is off an Donor E30 iX Auto. To an 86 M20B27 eta Manual, I’ve also been watching your stroker built as well because I was considering doing that instead. Of the sharp since I have both cars. Lol

Your "how tos" are pretty amazing. Watched every second and I dont even have an E30. Please please someday do a similar swap to an E24 , E12 or E28 and document it just like this. Would love to learn more since I'm debating to pull the M30B32 and get it ready for boost , maybe M54B30 swap , or go crazy with an M60 swap in my series 1 E24. Looking forwards to future content.

I almost subbed to these guys, theb saw them using chasers and thought damn girls you got a nice sbop

fine more videos strokers 2.7 pleaase!!!!

I have an 86 ES. I'm planning using the ETA bottom w/ late B25 pistons and 885 head + intake. Twin scroll turbo, water methanol injection and megasquirt. No intercooler. 9.4:1 compression.

bro the fucken home depot song was hilarious, cheers

I learned today

I know this is kindof late post, but I would love to see the Franken stroker!

Cool videos thank you , what kind of light stick you using

Bit of a note on the cylinder heads. They are very different castings, and the 200 cannot be entirely converted. The 885 has a more hemispherical combustion chamber design and larger intake ports along with bugger valves. The 200 head is designed for a dished flat top piston, and the ports are smaller to improve flow at lower RPM's. The super eta head is an 885 head setup like the 200, with single springs and (dont quote me) a cam that uses fewer cam journals.

Is there any issues with running 2.5 bar (30psi) of fuel pressure from an early model ETA chassis with a late model I motor? Thanks and great video!

Currently putting an 89 I engine into an 86 es I have the engine harness from the donor car and everything seems self explanatory, but my main concern is even tho the c101 from I harness connects easily to c101 on the body, the I has more pins than e. Is this an issue?

I would like to see a full detailed video of a 2.7 early model block car E30 with the late model 2.5L Frankenstein top end swap. Please I have the complete 2.5Li top end 885 head with i intake manifold and throttle body. I’m missing the harness and the front crank sensor and crank pulley it reads off of. Your videos are great man please make this video. Thanks !

I have i head from a 1990 e30. I may do this along with my 5sp swap in my e28. Question tho, I read that pre-88 eta’s requires you to drill a hole in the i head, is that true???

Hi question, If you had very sludgly oil, what would your first thought be? Am i looking at a full rebuild? 325is e30

Note on the rocker shafts: .they are the same but It does make a difference the way you turn them because of were the oil hole for the rockers sit when you install them ...the oil hole needs to line up with the valve ..thus is were the rocker will be ...also 87 is engine harnes will work no issues ...

Hook us up with the 5K burn out from like five of your cool cars at the same time would be awesome. Thank you guys for all the viewing content

I got a 528e might do this

Is it worth doing a 2.7 l stroker? And can you use your 325is computer

Hey so I have a 1988 e30 no engine trying to install a m20 2.7l from a 1987 528e just trying to figure out wiring what type of wiring would I need

super informative vid guys! here's a weird one, but would you guys ever do a vid on installing an auto transmission in an e30? im manual swapping my daily soon and i wanna be able to put the auto back in my donor car to sell the whole thing

Can I weld the bung to one pipe or does it have to be welded between both of them?

Wouldn't mind seeing ITB's on an M52tub25. Because why? Because it's fun to piss the internet off. And that's my 2020 project.

What about the 5k -7k tach? Is that a direct swap out?

Would the 2.5 swap with all the wiring pass smog in California?

Hi, Which wire do you connect to get the rpm working? TIA

Where’s the next video? :) I’ve got mine ready just waiting on the next video to continue the build!

What year is this e30? 1990? Looks every so solid. Great work btw. Bloody terrific

Its the wiring the same process as a m20b20 to a m20b25 motronic 1.3?

Thank you for all your videos lads. I've just got my e36 stripped ready to remove. Did you ever get around to fitting a m5x/s5x swap into a e30?

would love to see a 2.7i stroker & a 2.8 stroker with the M52 crank. Im about to go through the 2.8 stroker and there isnt as much data as there is the 2.7i

What did you do to hook up the brake booster hose to throttle body? Also my IS harness has a small plug by the ecu connector does this connector get used? My car is a 87 325es by the way. Harness is from a 92 convertible. Engine is from a 88i.

Hi there, i want put a 2.7 in my 325is, so i need ecu and harness and that it?, i bought a donor bmw 325e 1986

can you use the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, trans from the "E" motor on the "I" motor?

You guys rock with the info . I want to know what’s the difference between the e30 325 stroked or m50 swap ?

what is a good turbo kit on a budget

I am currently doing this swap it will start off brake clean but fuel pump isn’t turning on and not sending fuel

Does the crank bolt have reverse threads?

I have an early 325e and I've replaced that fuel filter with the engine in the car. It's a pain.

Just found your channel, great content! I had an early model convertible previously and now have a 91 325i auto. I have a 2.7 eta/getrag manual swapped into the car because the 2.5 was shot when I got it. Have not been able to get it to start with the harness/DME from the 2.7, everything I’ve read so far on here leads me to believe I have to use all the electronics from the “i” because they won’t work from the “e” correct? Thanks!

I’m wanna do a conversion on my e model but my car don’t have that c104 plug or c101 plug my car is a 84

I'm currently doing this. Just curious what clutch did u put in it stock dual mass?

Do you guys have any vast swap information for us E28 guys? I'd like to know what it would take to do a stroker build, or a 24v swap. I know the E28 has its own strange nuances, that make it hard to bounce around E30 parts into the E28 chassis.

So I have a 86 325es m20b27. And I have the 885 head and i intake. The i throttle body. MAF. AFM. And fuel injectors and fuel rail. With the 1.3 173 ecu do I need to swap wiring harness as well???? Please I need answers. Thank you

Do you need to switch the e MAF to the i MAF? (if you said I missed it.)

Would I have a difficult time going from a 87 325e to a 91 325i engine? Harness differences?

I’m about to do this exact swap, just wanted to confirm that there’s no issue bolting the early “e” transmission, clutch, flywheel to the i motor?? Everything will work or is there stuff I need to change? Thanks

Hey Long shot question, I have a 1985 325e with a bad motor, looks like broken piston, so a swap seems to be the best route to take, I just came up with a free 1986 735i that is a complete car and it was parked running long ago according to my neighbor who game me the car, I would lobe to swap this bigger motor and beefier suspension to the e30 to make it a 5 lug and better diff and more power. in your opinion would this be a doable swap? if not suspension maybe just the motor? the 86 is automatic, the 85 is stick. thanks. all comments welcome.

Hello please let me know if i can use 731head on 2.7 eta engine The engine have 2.7eta head

Ok, here's my mystery. I have the 325e 1986. As I accelerated to 45 mph the car make a lot of noise and stalled out. It's been almost 4weeks And this is what I learned. The dme and fuel relays failed to pump the fuel. !!!+++++Timing belt snapped'!!!! Checked heads, no bent valves, no broken rocker arms alignment completed timing-tuned. Bolted down TIME covers alterNATOR everything, NO START- compression revealed all cylinders are compression have crank and spark but not start. Unless it is the very first turn of the day. When trying the very first of the day, cylinder 1 will back fire. Nothing but crank will occur after. With small exceptions to the 1 cylinder still no start, distributor/cap-spark plugs, wire. Any ideas???

Final power?

have you guys ever swapped a convertible? just out of curiosity, thanks

I know you got a few E34s around there and I have a 93 525iA that is my daily and is making me Crazy not being able to figure out a SUSPN LEVELING error message that keeps coming up when I drive mine. I have not been able to figure it out so far , can you guys give me any help with that ? I know my car doesn't even have the Self-Leveling suspension because it was just for M5s , I thought. My car is a Sedan , btw. Production date 10/92

Any thoughts on converting the AFM to MAF when doing this swap? I've also read about folks swapping the M20 AFM for the M30 AFM- has anyone tried this with reasonable success/positive gains?

Wait so the more desirable engine is the 2.5 over the 2.7?

The e30 rouge yes for mie is ok my naime is jean charles rabaux the frenchy

Is there anything about BMWs you guys dont know?

be prepared. if you do some "clickbait" or some video that gets real popular this is the time. gonna gain 50k subs in a week if you do 😆

how do you know how antifreeze tastes? 😂

How can someone convert a 200 head to a 885?

What is a eta engine
